DESCRIPTION:Studies in neuroscience\, development economics\, cognitive an
 d biological sciences indicate that ECE lays the foundation for both short
  term benefits for both the individual and society. This includes improved
  school readiness which is linked to efficient school transition\, better 
 learning outcomes and completion rates\, as well as long-term benefits\, i
 ncluding improved health\, employability and national development. Studies
  which demonstrated these positive effects of ECE were mainly based on dis
 advantaged populations\, mainly in the global north and in particular the 
 US. However\, due to these many advantages\, ECE is globalised as a justic
 e tool and therefore\, we set out to evaluate whether some of the short te
 rm benefits identified among disadvantaged children in the global north ca
 n be accrued among refugee and non-refugee children in Uganda.
