Government think tank Philippine Institute for Development Studies recently issued a bleak scenario, saying that one in three Filipino children are stunted due to severe underinvestment and insufficient access to high quality childcare services
The study was published in support of the Second Congressional Commission on Education . “EDCOM 2 welcomes the findings of the study conducted by PIDS. Our recommendations on the programmatic and legislative reforms to our education systems are based on empirical evidence from these kinds of studies,” said EDCOM 2 Executive Director Karol Mark Yee.
By using the REI, the preliminary analysis shows no difference in terms of meeting total energy and protein intake between children who received supplementary feeding programs compared to those who did not, even after adjusting for selection bias. This finding recommends further investigation and potential adjustments to the program to ensure effectiveness in addressing the nutritional needs of children.
“Overall, the current supply of capital investments for ECCD in the country falls short of meeting the goal of universal access for children aged three to 34 to ECCD services. The country’s current facilities are insufficient by around 33,000 to meet the 96,000 daycare/child development centers required to meet 100 percent of the demand,” the report reads.
