Recommendations

OECD work on ECEC presented in Starting Strong II makes a 10 point recommendation to guide ECEC policy. These are based on placing the child's rights and well-being at the very centre focusing especially on:


- Universal coverage of quality to all who want;

- Integrated approach to provision of education, care and other services;

- Close co-ordination of policy development and programme delivery among all responsible ministries, at different levels of government and supported by partnership with other stakeholders;

- A participatory approach to quality and development of pedagogy
- Substantial public investment
