ARNEC is pleased to share with you the results of our survey in April and May 2020 on the impact of COVID-19 on young children and their families and the status of ECD services in the Asia-Pacific region at the height of the pandemic.

We have released the final and full report on the results of our rapid survey on the impact of COVID-19 on young children and ECD. The full narrative report also includes an Annex on technical and explanatory notes which contains further explanation on some of the findings. Please click here to access the revised PowerPoint presentation for a summary of survey findings.

Kindly disregard earlier versions of the survey results shared. 

This report is final and should be the sole reference for the ARNEC survey on the impact of COVID-19 on young children and ECD in the Asia-Pacific region. Country-level reports will also be made available in the website for selected countries where participation in the survey is significant.

While it is a rapid survey, it points us to some directions in terms of our continued ECD advocacy and programming during and beyond this pandemic.
