Minister Gwarube calls for greater collaboration to expand and improve Early Childhood Development

# Minister of Basic Education, Siviwe Gwarube has called on all stakeholders across government, civil society, and the private sector to take bold and coordinated action to expand access to quality Early Childhood Development across South Africa, particularly in underserved communities. Gwarube emphasised the urgent need to address systemic inequities that continue to shape the future prospects of South Africa’s children from as early as birth. The minister says two children may be born in the same country, but their chances of success diverge drastically depending on their early years.
