Conclusions

Emergent Literacy and Numeracy is a low-cost program that enhances the learning outcomes of children in O class.
Conducting Emergent Literacy and Numeracy at Home with parents of O class children is an extremely effective, but low cost way to boost children’s learning outcomes and school readiness, especially since getting ECD services to all children in Ethiopia will take time.
While the initial focus is to operationalize all O class, Ethiopia’s economy and learning outcomes will improve when pre-primary is offered to an earlier age group.
