Kuwait provides Early Childhood Education (ECE) for children aged 4 to 6, focusing on holistic development, including physical, emotional, and intellectual growth. The government supports various initiatives to enhance early learning experiences, emphasizing play-based learning and social interaction. Despite these efforts, approximately 16% of pre-primary age children are not enrolled in any educational program. Barriers to enrollment include limited availability of ECE facilities and socio-economic factors that prevent access for some families. Current efforts aim to expand coverage, improve the quality of ECE services, and enhance teacher training and curriculum development to increase participation

クウェートでは、幼児教育（ECE）は4歳から6歳の子どもを対象に提供され、身体的、感情的、知的な成長を重視した全人教育を目指しています。政府は、遊びを取り入れた学習と社会的相互作用を強調しながら、早期学習体験を強化する取り組みを支援しています。

しかし、約16％の就学前年齢の子どもがいかなる教育プログラムにも参加していない状況です。入園を妨げる要因として、ECE施設の不足や経済的な理由が挙げられます。現在、カバー率の拡大やECEサービスの質の向上、教師の育成、カリキュラムの開発を通じた参加率の向上が目指されています。

Qatar

Qatar places significant emphasis on Early Childhood Education (ECE) as part of its comprehensive educational reforms. The country aims to provide high-quality preschool education to ensure school readiness and enhance future learning outcomes. Government initiatives focus on developing curricula that promote critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills, aligning with Qatar’s vision for a knowledge-based economy. Investments in infrastructure and teacher training have been substantial; however, challenges remain in ensuring equitable access across all segments of the population, particularly expatriate communities. Efforts are ongoing to address these disparities through monitoring, evaluation, and targeted policy adjustments to ensure inclusivity in ECE programs.
