The Thrive by Five Index has released its year-end update on the 2024 data collection process, providing insights into the progress and challenges of early childhood development (ECD) in South Africa. The index measures critical developmental milestones in children aged 4–5, focusing on areas like language, motor skills, and social readiness.
This year’s update highlights advancements in data collection and underscores the importance of robust metrics in shaping ECD interventions. The findings aim to inform educators, policymakers, and caregivers about the support needed to ensure every child is ready to thrive by the time they enter school.
Together, let’s work toward a future where every child has the tools to succeed.
