The Republic of the Union of Myanmar has been implementing major political and economic reforms since 2011. The Myanmar Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) Policy was endorsed in 2014 signalling the priority placed on the early years of development. Against this background, UNICEF Myanmar commissioned The University of Hong Kong to provide technical support to the Yangon University of Education (YUoE) in administering the East Asia and Pacific Early Child Development Scales (EAP-ECDS) in Myanmar.
