determining an individual’s eligibility for
remedial services; c) aiding in curricula and
instructional planning; d) evaluating ECD
programmes; or e) monitoring and comparing
school, district, city, state or national trends.
As a result, there are many types of school
readiness assessment instruments, each
type aligning with the evaluation’s aim.
