The United States is Trailing Other Countries on Early Education Investment and Enrollment

Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–May 3, 2013.  Compared to other developed nations, the United States lags far behind on preschool access, quality, and investment, according to a new analysis released yesterday by the Center for American Progress. The United States enrolls only 69 percent of 4-year-old children in early education, trailing more than two-dozen countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. America also lags behind in 3-year-old preschool participation, the typical age children begin early childhood programs, our teacher-to-child ratios, and our investment in early childhood.
