Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan has been undergoing political and economic reform over the past two decades. One part of this in recent years is the expansion of accessible pre-primary education in the country. With this policy change, the Kyrgyz government sought an accurate way to measure early child development outcomes to ensure the increased investment was beneficial. The EDI was adopted to monitor the progress of the Kyrgyz Republic's investment in pre-primary education. The rollout began in 2014 with pilot data, with a second pre-baseline data collection in 2015 and a final set of data collection in 2016.
