We know that early education is a key stage in the comprehensive development of children, but its benefits are evident only when it is of high quality. We thank the participating institutions, and we hope that this work will be a contribution to public policies on early education in our country.
Yesterday, 24 civil society organisations linked to early childhood education presented to the Undersecretary of Early Childhood Education a document entitled "Analysis, proposals and measures to contribute to improving the quality of early childhood education processes in Chile".
The document addresses five key areas that have an impact on the quality of educational experiences and therefore on children's learning. These proposals focus on the promotion of effective interactions in the classroom, initial training and professional development of educational teams (educators and technicians), the importance of pedagogical leadership, family involvement in this educational stage and how to evaluate to improve the quality of early education processes.
We know that early education is a key stage in the comprehensive development of children, but its benefits are evident only when it is of high quality. We thank the participating institutions, and we hope that this work will be a contribution to public policies on early education in our country.
