Poverty is a compounding factor to accessing quality Early Childhood Care and Education services. In Vietnam, Lai Chau is the most impoverished province in Vietnam; its overall poverty rate is 76% and 96% of children in Lai Chau province are from the disadvantaged Mong tribe. Ethnic minorities in Vietnam represented 15% of the country's population and constituted 73% of the poor population in 2016. Children from minority groups do not have, or have very limited access to, early education in their mother tongues and encounter language barriers when they enter primary school. As a result, their school performance and participation is greatly affected.
To ensure access to quality Early Childhood Care and Education for children aged 3 to 8 years through enhanced teaching and quality of learning, responsive parenting and local ownership.
