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.
Making early childhood education and care responsive to digitalisation: A policy roadmap
This chapter presents a policy roadmap for making early childhood education and care (ECEC) responsive to digitalisation. It discusses the main challenges brought about by digitalisation for ECEC and then provides a roadmap of policies to address these key challenges, building on the policy directions stemming from the report’s findings. It also identifies examples of countries that are relatively active in some of these policy areas to inform policy reflection in other countries.
