Early childhood education has expanded over the past 25 years. Single‑age data suggest that globally about 42% of 3‑year‑olds, 59% of 4‑year‑olds and 80% of 5‑year‑olds are enrolled in school. Although the steepest age‑related increase in participation happens between ages 4 and 5, in low‑income countries the largest jump occurs between ages 5 and 6. The participation rate one year before primary entry, which varies between countries, rose from 64% in 2003 to 75% in 2024.
