Early Childhood Education and Care Quality in Europe and the USA: Issues of Conceptualization, Measurement and Policy
Editat de Konstantina Rentzou, Ruslan Slutskyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 dec 2020
The book illustrates how different countries have adapted different strategies focusing on policy when it comes to quality ECEC. The goal of the book is twofold. First and foremost, it aims to present key findings and challenges for improving ECEC as a whole. Second, it aims to highlight problems and concerns which the field of ECEC faces, with respect to delivering high-quality care and education to all children.
As neither “ECEC” nor “quality” are universal concepts – but are shaped by social-cultural values, as well as national, economic, and political contexts in which ECEC services are provided – this cross-country volume is extremely relevant for fully understanding issues in the field of ECEC.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Early Child Development and Care.
