Free, high quality, and inclusive early childhood education and care in formal and non-formal services include supporting the role of family members in creating learning opportunities for their children and themselves.
With an increased interest in mapping the situation of ECEC in Partner countries, several contemporary international studies and reports on the education of young children have been developed. The report on national ECD policies in partner countries aims to fill the gap with credible and informed research and subsequent recommendations to authorities accountable for social inclusion and inclusive education policies, with respect to young children and their families. The report offers a contextual description and analysis of policies and framework provisions in partner countries for infants and toddlers aged 0 to 3, and for pre-school education children aged 3 to 6/7.
Mapping the current status quo in order to guide future developments in the area, it examines issues of access, affordability, and quality of early care and educational services; sustainability of implemented measures; and the role of families and involvement of broader communities.
Strengthening and supporting the early childhood development workforce (ECD PLUS) is implemented in four countries: Italy, Hungary, Slovakia and Serbia, in which the national partner is Children and Youth Support Organisation (CYSO).
