| Abstract: | Needs, issues involved in programmes matching to needs, systems of provision, and the experience so far in South Africa. There is a severe lack in the country of preschool facilities available for young children in the communitees where poverty is most serious; estimates for 1980 show that only 4% of Coloured children, 0,6% of Black children and 3% of Indian children in the 0-6 year old age bracket attended some kind of preschool. Furthermore, relatively few of these facilities are able to provide the kind of educational programme which disadvantaged children really need. Two appendices: Fig., tab., and types of parentorientated education programmes. |
