abstract: 'This article examines participation in Early Childhood Education and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Care (ECEC) in Kosovo based on a recent survey and administrative data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kosovo''s ECEC policy aims to provide education and care for children
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
aged 0 to 6 through an approach consisting of highly targeted public
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
services for more vulnerable social groups, while expecting the rest to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rely on the market or the family. It also provides a universal, public
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(2.5 hours a day) school preparatory programme for children aged 5-6
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
years. Availability of ECEC services has been rising, but remains well
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
below the levels of the countries in the region. New services are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increasingly coming through a market-based provision which leaves large
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social groups such as low-income families, rural families, parents with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lower educational status and other socio-economically disadvantaged
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parents worse off. Since ECEC is considered highly relevant for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
children''s personal development and success in school, as well as for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
female participation in the labour market, the findings suggest that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
current policy contributes towards cementing and furthering social and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender inequalities in the long run. In the absence of more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
comprehensive public services and other supportive family policy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
measures, Kosovo maintains a strong implicit familialistic policy with a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
weak potential to contribute to women''s employment.'
