Abstract
Despite the importance of pre-school as a foundation the country's formal education.
the Ministry of Education spends less than one percent of its budget on this sub-sector.
The general objective of' the study was to determine the impact of free primary education
on early childhood education. The study employed a descriptive design and interview
guides and questionnaires were used in the collection of data. The findings of' the study
revealed that FPE had had an effect on the enrollment of' children because parents are
withdrawing their children from ECDE and also want it to be made free like primary
education and that that teacher 's salary remained the same but their allowances reduced
because the number of pupils had reduced. It was recommended that the government had
to have a policy in place that could focus on the impact of free primary education on
early childhood education and also put them in practice and that parents should be
encouraged to take their children for early childhood and also sensitized on its
importance.
