Abstract

Uloga ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja postaje tema mnogobrojnih rasprava i područje provođenja reformi putem zakonodavnog okvira i strateških dokumenata u obiteljskoj politici u Republici Hrvatskoj i državama članicama Europske unije. Promjene u području obiteljskog života, prvenstveno strukturi, i na tržištu rada dovele su do pojave novog socijalnog rizika koji se odnosi na zaposlene roditelje, odnosno lakšeg usklađivanja obiteljskog i poslovnog života. U početku se rani i predškolski odgoj i obrazovanje promatrao u ulozi postizanja ravnoteže obiteljskog života i plaćenog rada da bi se kasnije pozornost usmjerila i na pozitivne dugotrajne višestruke učinke koje stvara rani i predškolski odgoj i obrazovanje za socijalnu dobrobit djece, a zatim i na cjelokupno društvu u budućnosti. Ulaganjem u rani i predškolski odgoj i obrazovanje povećava se kvaliteta i dostupnost usluga ranoga i predškolskog odgoja čime se izjednačavaju jednake životne šanse za svu djecu i prekida mogući krug siromaštva. Države članice EU imaju različito kvalitativno i kvantitativno uređeni sustav ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja. U odnosu na ostale zemlje članice Europske unije, Hrvatska se nalazi pri dnu kada su u pitanju kvaliteta, dostupnost i udio javnih izdataka za sustav ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja, a osobito za djecu mlađu od 3 godine.

Abstract (english)

The role of early and preschool education and care becomes the subject of numerous debates and the area of reform implementation through the legislative framework and strategic documents in family policy in the Republic of Croatia and the member states of the European Union. Changes in the area of family life, primarily in the structure, and in the labor market, have led to the emergence of a new social risk that affects employed parents, or easier reconciliation of family and business life. Initially, early and preschool education and care was viewed as a role of achieving a balance between family life and paid work to later focus on the positive long – lasting multiple effects created by early and preschool education and care and social welfare for children and the on the entire society in the future. By investing in early and preschool education and care, the quality and availability of early and preschool education and care services is enhanced to equalize equal chances for all children and interrupt possible poverty circle. Member states of the EU have different qualitatively and quantitatively regulated early and preschool education and care systems. Compared to other EU member states, Croatia is at the bottom when it comes to quality, availability and share of public expenditures for early and preschool education and care, especially for children under the age of 3.
