Pre-school education in Europe in 21st century

Key Data on Early Childhood Education and Care in Europe – 2014 Edition involved * in the

Eurydice Network under the Lifelong Learning Programme (2007-2013), except the Netherlands.

The report provides insights into what constitutes high quality early childhood education

and care through internationally comparable indicators. It combines statistical

data and system-level information to describe the structure, organisation and funding

of early childhood education and care in Europe. It covers a number of specific issues

important to policy-makers such as access to ECEC, governance, quality assurance,

affordability, professionalisation of staff, leadership and measures to support

disadvantaged children.

At a time of unprecedented challenges, the importance of giving all our children a solid

start by providing quality early childhood education is central. The extensive benefits of

early childhood education and care have been increasingly acknowledged, ranging from

economic advantages for society as a whole to better performance in schools.

Key Data on ECEC in Europe – 2014

.

A shortage of ECEC places for children under

three years old is likely to persist in most EC

despite a fall in population numbers.

Barbara Novinec: Connecting leadership in pre-school education

Demand is higher than supply.

Supply meets demand.

Demand/ supply of places in publicly subsidised centre-

based ECEC settings for children 3 years and older

ECEC attendance among children under 3 is

very low. Currently 32 million children are in the

age range to use ECEC services in Europe.

Population projections suggest that by 2030,

there will be 2.5 million fewer children in the EU

compared with 2012.

Key Data on ECEC in Europe – 2014

.

Children from disadvantaged backgrounds have

lower ECEC participation rates.

Barbara Novinec: Connecting leadership in pre-school education

• One in four children under the age of 6 in Europe is at risk of poverty or

social exclusion and may need specific measures to support their

educational needs.

• Nevertheless, disadvantaged children have lower ECEC participation

rates.

• Increasing the participation in ECEC of children from disadvantaged

backgrounds is one of the main priorities of European ECEC policy. .

Key Data on ECEC in Europe – 2014

.

The younger the children - the lower the minimum qualification

requirements for staff.

Barbara Novinec: Connecting leadership in pre-school education

• The minimum level for staff working with children 3 years of age and over

is usually a Bachelor degree.

• The exceptions are France, Italy, Portugal and Iceland, where a Master

degree is the minimum qualification. .

Key Data on ECEC in Europe – 2014

.

Most European countries guarantee every

child a place in ECEC, but few from an early

age.

Barbara Novinec: Connecting leadership in pre-school education

Legal entitlement.

No legal entitlement.

Legal entitlement and/or compulsory ECEC, 2012/13

• About one third of European guarantee a place from

age 3.

• Only Denmark, Germany (from August 2013),

Estonia, Malta (from April 2014), Slovenia, Finland,

Sweden and Norway guarantee a legal right to

ECEC to each child soon after their birth.

Compulsory ECEC

Key Data on ECEC in Europe – 2014

. ECEC is free of charge from age three in half of all European countries.

Barbara Novinec: Connecting leadership in pre-school education

• The entire phase of ECEC requires parent contributions in Denmark, most

Länder in Germany, Estonia, Croatia, Slovenia, Iceland, Turkey and

Norway.

• ECEC fees are the lowest in Eastern European and Nordic countries.

• In Latvia, Lithuania and Romania only, publicly subsidised ECEC is free

from the earliest possible age of participation. .

Key Data on ECEC in Europe – 2014

.

Most European countries offer regulated

home-based ECEC provision in addition to

centre-based care.

Barbara Novinec: Connecting leadership in pre-school education

Regulated homebased ECEC exists

No regulated home-based ECEC.

Existence of regulated home-based ECEC, 2012/13

Two structures are the most common:

• a unitary system to which all children below

primary school age may attend (in most Nordic

countries, Baltic countries, Croatia and Slovenia) or

• a split system, where services are delivered in

separate settings for younger and older children.

Key Data on ECEC in Europe – 2014

.

Only half of European countries provide

educational ECEC guidelines for children

under 3.

Barbara Novinec: Connecting leadership in pre-school education

Educational guidelines applying only to older children

Educational guidelines for younger and older children

Provision of central educational guidelines for centre-

based ECEC, 2012/13

The effectiveness of the teaching and learning process

largely determines the quality of ECEC.

Central ECEC guidelines for children under 3 are

more common in countries with unitary systems, where

education authorities are in charge for the entire ECEC

phase.

Providing high quality ECEC may help reduce future public spending

on welfare, health and even justice.

ECEC is a cornerstone for building better and more equitable education

systems.

International skill survey results:

Children and teenagers perform better in reading and mathematics

if they have attended ECEC

PISA 2012 (OECD),

PIRLS 2011 (IEA)

By laying strong foundations for successful lifelong learning,

high quality ECEC brings personal benefits to children,

particularly to those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
