Government to launch an experiment: children of pre-school education can expand to 5-year-to – year longer at preschool worried about the part of families with children

the Government intends to find out the preschool expansion 5 year olds.

some municipalities can be reached according to the two-year experiment, which is used to determine, inter alia, how much in the current extended pre-school education affect children's learning outcomes and children's equality.

minister of Education Li Andersson (left.) according to the pre-school does this during the election period will extend two years old as is desired (switch to another service).

I don't think it likely. Now we are doing everything necessary to study, because it would require big changes, explains Andersson.

I Tried to check the schedule does not so far have information.

six-year-old preschool binding law came into force (switch to another service)five years ago. According to the compulsory preceding the start of the year, the child must participate in the year pre-school education.

the two-year pre-school education there is no support for the survey from. 65 respondents, nearly 80% think that a mandatory pre-school education should be extended.

"in the Future, pre-school education is not considered to expand younger as 5 years of age not be separated in the kindergartens of the smallest, what the younger pre-school practice would mean. (...) The wider pre-school practice, also would mean that a 5-year-olds focus on school context (such as pre-school now). In this case, more and more families are forced to take their children to different kindergartens/schools, which complicate the everyday rotate and add the obligation to move the car."

the number of respondents experiencing that aiempaakaan reform is not sufficiently prepared. We asked, inter alia, that what matters in preschool education in changing the mandatory should have been taken into account.

"Just single parents, shift workers, eroperheen and other "non-standard" families. As such, yes, I support mandatory pre-school."

Also the city of Kuopio, education director of the Juha parkkinen cape I have reservations about a two-year preschool education. He stresses that the change should be made and carefully evaluated.

– Should for example research, that does pre-plan more for the youngest children, parkkinen niemi.

on the perspective of the preschool expansion would mean additional costs.

Already, municipalities are struggling with economic problems and the additional challenges of early childhood education as regards the permit as early as next year, if the subjective right to day care, returned to apply to all children full time.

– If the preschool would expand, then the money would follow, with that is, the state should support the unions 100 percent, comment parkkinen cape.

in Practice the change would mean, for example, that the kindergarten you would need premises and employees.

in Helsinki, the green council group back in September, the board of governors of the initiative (move to another service) (pdf) two-year pre-school experiment for leaving.

Preschool is Excessive based on the questionnaire results brought plenty of challenges, especially with the shift work on families with children and single parents.

the respondents feel that the child's preschool education, the transition has been calling family from a lot of different arrangements.

the Parents are for example forced to change their jobs, agreed to by the employer with shifts as well as stacked for transport.

”the number of working Hours reduction, as well as flexibility in working hours. A lot of flexibility from employers. Two cars. Suitable for export activities and picking them up, the grandparents ' help.”

Also, the transports, with the have had problems. For example, Iisalmi bunch of preschoolers left a few years ago, air transport, when the city interpreted the law wrong.

according to the Law pre-school education received by the pupils is entitled to free transportation when the trip is five miles further. The right applies to transport directly from home to preschool and preschool from the home or day care.

Binding is from the beginning preoccupied just shift workers. Parents are considered, in particular, how children are involved in preschool education, when the parents have irregular shift work.

for Example, the city of Kuopio has two round-the-clock day care unit, both of which it is possible to get pre-school education also in the afternoon.

education director Juha parkkinen peninsula, according to the shift workers number is also increased all the time.

Yes, I can hear the conversations of everyday life and pre-school combined with the difficulty, granted the distances of the peninsula.

All shift workers children do not, however, place round-the-clock care is provided for kindergarten when the situation become problematic too long of a day due.

”the Child must take daily for treatment and from there transport 4 km from the preschool's happening in a taxi. At worst, the child is at preschool and in the treatment of 9-21.30”

"Unreasonable to feel a child of such a day, when the parents are on the night shift. In this case, the child has to go, however, preschool was nine, and the day after the parents to apply for kindergarten from for example half a dozen time. The next morning is again forced to be at preschool at nine o'clock. Or if the parents is the morning shift, so up to 6-7 times a day home before pre-school days. Child coping is not to think at all."

the board of education released earlier this year a survey (you move to another service), according to which five years of comprehensive participation in the pre-school education strengthening pre-school and increase equality.

the Process in several municipalities try to (you move to another service) also free of charge 20 hours a week early childhood education for 5-year-olds.
