CAPE TOWN - The revised 2025 National Budget contains one of the single biggest fiscal investments in early childhood development in SA's history.

Real Reform for ECD is calling on all parties in Parliament to support this critical step towards placing young children at the centre of South Africa’s social and economic development agenda.

Daniel McLaren, the Public Finance Economist at Ilifa Labantwana says this investement will help early childhood development get back on track. 

"It's a really important moment for the early childhood development sector. It does get us back on track after many years of political commitments and talks about the importance of early childhood development but not really being backed in the budget.," he said.
