Strengthening early childhood education (ECE) through Canada–Pakistan partnership delivers mutual gains. Investing in high-quality preschool programs yields economic and social returns (each \$1 invested brings \$6–\$17 back[1]). Canada’s experience and Pakistan’s large youth population can combine: by co-developing curricula, training teachers, and funding access, both countries boost human capital and innovation. Policymakers, investors, and educators can seize this win-win: Canada enhances global leadership and market ties, while Pakistan accelerates development with educated future workers.
