Abstract: Preparing and executing a transition to K–12 requires political commitment and financial investment as well as enough human resources capable of planning, developing, implementing, and sustaining a complex reform. More than 140 countries offer what has become the international norm for pretertiary education, a kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12). Research attests to the long-term learning and social benefits of school readiness programs. Experience in many countries also shows that a K–12 system of schooling is the minimum necessary to acquire the knowledge and expertise for university education, employment training, or decent work.
