Abstract

In this work we study the factors that help to understand the state of the first aim from the Education For All framework in Latin America. Therefore, the paper builds on the societal and historical structure of the region concerning to elements such us the well-being and social exclusion which bias its development. From this view, we attend to the progress and expansion of the early childhood education and care (ECEC) provision throughout Latin American societies, particularly for vulnerable groups. Finally, we include an analysis on the settled measures and actions in support of the right to ECEC, both in terms of the quality and equality implications in this field.
