Early childhood education during the post-COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

COVID-19 and early childhood education are sometimes disregarded subjects. Despite the fact that they serve children, families, and society, childcare programs are among the most severely impacted and underfunded businesses. COVID-19's spread has already had a heavy human cost, and with public health systems unable to keep up, these costs will only rise. Government measures in various nations to restrict COVID-19 transmission have resulted in a large demand and supply shock. This has resulted in substantial trade disruptions, commodities price decreases, and financial circumstances tightening in many nations. These consequences have already resulted in a significant increase in unemployment and underemployment rates, and they will continue to endanger the viability of many businesses throughout the globe. The epidemic will provide substantial educational problems, with the biggest and most immediate consequences on schooling in the nation. This pandemic issue has the potential to be inadequate or to deteriorate educational circumstances. Furthermore, the urgent need to priorities responding to the public health emergency and reinforcing safety nets is likely to diminish resources available for other public expenditures, such as education. There is substantial doubt regarding the COVID-19 pandemic's overall educational effect. Its length and intensity will be determined by the efficacy of steps to block the virus's spread and how fast economic activity and education in the nation can be stabilized. COVID-19 will have a variety of effects on stakeholders' abilities to pay education. Even though it is difficult to predict how COVID-19 will affect each funding source and each nation, this study will concentrate on what is known about potential remedies.
