In this episode, we speak with Professor Sharon Goldfeld, paediatrician and leading voice in early childhood development and equity. Drawing from her experience across research, policy, and practice, she explores how early childhood development can be a lever for equity, the vital role of communities, and the challenges of turning evidence into action.
We also discuss the idea of “precision policy,” global learning, and the opportunities ahead for creating fairer outcomes for all children.
