Every Newborn Reach Up Early Education Intervention for All Children Education (ENREACH) Education
Sponsor: International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh
Summary
The goal of the project is to assess the scale-up of the program, focusing on improving school readiness among preschool children, enhancing capacity building for parents and teachers, and utilizing a cluster randomized controlled trial (cRCT). The primary research questions are to seek answer- * What specific adaptations are necessary for an innovative, disability-inclusive early education training program to become a fully inclusive model that enhances teachers' engagement and practices in pre-primary classrooms in Nepal, Tanzania, and Bangladesh? * How can a new, equitable 'School Readiness Programme for the child-parent-teacher triad' be effectively scaled within national government pre-primary platforms using a cRCT? * How can the outcomes of the 'School Readiness Programme for the child-parent-teacher triad' be implemented in a cost-effective manner by key stakeholders across the three sites? The research will examine an adapted inclusive early education training programme will lead to improved teaching practices, enhanced parental capacity, and better school readiness for all children compared to standard education programme; and b) the child-parent-teacher triad model can be scaled effectively within the government primary education systems.

ENREACH child-parent-teacher triad
Prior to enrolling study participants, we will conduct sensitization meetings with each selected government primary school. These meetings will be oriented toward community leaders, caregivers of children with or without disabilities, and school management committees to introduce them to the program, ensure the inclusion of all children, and address concerns related to gender, poverty, and disability. A disability-inclusive module will be delivered to preschoolers in their regular pre-primary classrooms by trained pre-primary teachers. This module will cover foundational skills, the importance of play, communication, socio-emotional learning, and strategies for adapting the curriculum to accommodate children with disabilities. ENREACH parent group school readiness intervention package will be provided to parents during monthly parent-teacher meetings, facilitated by trained preschool teachers.
