The limited availability of metadata in Early Childhood Development (ECD) settings prompted the creation and utilisation of DataDrive2030’s first meta-dataset. Applying an asset-based Positive Deviance (PD) approach, Percept collaborated with DataDrive2030 on this study aimed to identify factors associated with young children from lower socio-economic backgrounds who outperform their peers. This report documents insights derived from both quantitative and qualitative analyses.
