Abstract
The study aimed at situation analysis of Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) programme with respect to Education for All (EFA) in Punjab, Pakistan. The study was descriptive, exploratory and noncontrived. The study included all institutions of both public and private sector following indicators as prescribed by UN agencies. Whole the population was selected as sample. Ten year data from 2001-02 to 2010-11 was analyzed. Conclusions are that increase in gross enrolment ratio (GER) in Punjab is more than national level but not to the satisfaction level to meet the EFA targets by 2015. There was increase of enrolment and schools in private sector. Lack of networking, poor coordination among public and private sector is affecting ECCE. It is recommended that ECCE may be recognized as stage, facilities, and awareness of its significance may be promoted especially in rural areas.
