Description:
In support of evidence-based policy making, Eurydice publishes Key Data on Early Childhood Education and Care in Europe -- 2014 Edition in cooperation with Eurostat. 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. This brochure summarises the report's key findings. This report covers the 32 European countries (37 education systems), involved in the Eurydice Network under the Lifelong Learning Programme (2007-2013), except the Netherlands. (author abstract)
