‘Euractiv’ reports of the EC’s communication on early childhood education. The Commission is calling on Member States to ensure universal access to pre-school education. It also wants action taken to improve quality by ensuring staff are properly trained. Androulla Vassiliou, EU commissioner for education, culture, multilingualism and youth insisted that investing in quality pre-school education is more effective than intervening later.
