This indicator reflects the proportion of preprimary educators who have undergone the essential training, either before starting their teaching careers or through ongoing professional development, as mandated by national education standards. A higher percentage signifies a
more qualified teaching workforce, which can lead to improved educational outcomes for young learners, as trained teachers are better equipped with effective teaching strategies, child development knowledge, and classroom management skills. This metric not only highlights the commitment of a country to invest in early childhood education but also underscores the importance of providing a strong foundation for children's cognitive and social development, ultimately influencing their future learning trajectories and academic success.
