The AKDN notes that besides being a fertile environment for children to learn multiple languages and experience various cultural backgrounds, the region provides a unique laboratory to observe how children perceive and approach differences in a classroom. Soon after the ECD centres were launched in Khorog, AKES also started an ECD Resource Centre which sought to learn more about early childhood education best practices in order to continue to improve the programme. Since the ECD Resource Centre opened in February 2018, it has reportedly fostered partnerships with Queens University of Belfast and UNICEF to explore concepts about child development.
