Abstract (300 words maximum)

The motives for this study on Nigeria is to compare it to that of the U.S. and to explore their educational system and the impact it has on ECE Programs. While contrasting these two educational systems we will focus on the countries literacy rate, how learners are supported in their education, and is there any access to early childhood care and educational services. My information is mainly based off of literature review. However, it can be considered as a qualitative study because I also conducted an interview with A Nigerian native. In conclusion my research methods adopted are both a qualitative study method ( i.e., interview and literature review).

The motives for this study on Nigeria is to compare it to that of the U.S. and to explore their educational system and the impact it has on ECE Programs.

My information is mainly based off of literature review. However, it can be considered as a qualitative study because I also conducted an interview with A Nigerian native.
