Eurydice Network (2009). Early childhood education and care in Europe: Tackling social and cultural inequalities. Brussels: European Comission, Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
This study presents the available cross-national data and examines national policies on early childhood education and care in Europe. It combines this with a summary of what research tells us in this domain and a summary of the main trends and approaches in Europe, drawing some tentative conclusions as to what might be some effective ways of achieving equity and efficiency in
pre-primary education.
