he goal calls for better and more possibilities to support young children, and their families and communities, in all the areas where the child is growing – physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually. It also lays special emphasis on children who suffer disadvantage or who are particularly vulnerable, for example those living in poverty, AIDS orphans, rural and minority children, and in some situations girls as a whole.
In a World Context
Major global disparities in provision continue to divide the world's richest and poorest children. In 2006 pre-primary gross enrolment ratios averaged 79 per cent in developed countries and 36 per cent in developing countries, falling as low as 14 per cent in sub-Saharan Africa. Global disparities are mirrored in wide gaps within countries, especially between the richest and poorest children.(EFA Global Monitoring Report 2009)
