We must promote a systemic change that emcompasses equity, engagement, respect for diversity, socio-emotional development & learning, wellbeing, physical & mental health. This also requires more investment in the #ecec workforce @AgataDaddato from @Eurochild_org#EduSummitEU

It's so important 2keep advocating for a stronger commitment from EU & nat policymakers so that comprehensive & integrated strategies for #earlychildhood are not just designed & adopted but implemented on the ground providing the opportunity for children to thrive @Eurochild_org
Qualified professionals are key to providing high-quality education & care to all children. Staff shortages need to be addressed ASAP!

Comprehensive and comparable data are essential at both the national and European level to inform policy and public investment in children. We need to make the case for improved data focusing on children below the age of 18. Read my blog: https://t.co/aqliHpS5LN @Eurochild_org
There is an urgent need for a comprehensive understanding of the #earlyyears in implementing systemic changes and creating competent systems which share knowledge, values, and practices through integrated approaches @Eurochild_org @ISSA_ECD

Michael Teutsch from @EU_Commission DG EAC welcoming participants at Peer Learning Activity hosted by our member @ONE_Belgique on Monitoring Quality in #EarlyChildhood Education and Care. Our colleague @AgataDaddato is representing Eurochild
Access to #earlychildhood services is not enough. There’s low data on how qualified professionals working with children are. We need to move from policy to real implementation and monitoring quality.
