Empowering Young Children in the Digital Age
Digitalisation is transforming education as well as social and economic life, with implications for childhood. Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC), with its immense potential to shape children’s early development, learning and well-being, can play a major role in addressing the opportunities and risks that digitalisation brings to young children. Digitalisation also creates new ways of working that have the potential to lead to quality improvement in the ECEC sector. This report provides a 360-degree view of the challenges of digitalisation in ECEC and possible policy responses.
Reader’s guide
The OECD Starting Strong series provides an international comparative perspective on early childhood education and care (ECEC) systems to support countries and jurisdictions in reviewing and designing their policies in this space. As part of the OECD’s long-term strategy to develop ECEC, the reviews discuss the strengths and opportunities of different approaches and provide policy orientations that help promote high‑quality and equitable ECEC services. The Starting Strong reviews are developed in close collaboration with the OECD’s Early Childhood Education and Care Network, a unique knowledge-sharing platform for national, regional and local policy makers working on ECEC policies.
