State Minister in the Ministry of Education Rhoda Moy Crawford says the Government is pursuing a multi-pronged strategy backed by significant investment to strengthen the quality of early childhood education across the country.

Crawford, speaking at the Professional Development Institute (PDI 26) conference hosted by the Early Childhood Commission at the Montego Bay Convention Centre in St James on Monday, said the Government continues to make substantial investments in the early childhood sector as part of efforts to achieve positive societal transformation in Jamaica.

The conference, which runs from May 18 to 21, is focused on early childhood development, teacher training and child rights.
