The political attention for ECEC quality is reflected in several initiatives from the Directorate General for Education and Culture of the European Commission. It was clearly present in the 2011 statement on the importance of early childhood education (European Commission, 2011), as well as in a comprehensive study on competence requirements for the early childhood workforce, commissioned in 2010 to a consortium of the University of East London and Ghent University (Urban, Vandenbroeck, Van Laere, Lazzari & Peeters, 2012). The study consisted of a literature study, a survey on curricula for the different early years professions in fifteen countries and a series of seven in-depth case studies on how these recent challenges are met in diverse contexts. Projects like CoRE, as reported in this book, are exercises in interrogating complex contexts of public policy and professional practice.

Abstract
The political attention for ECEC quality is reflected in several initiatives from the Directorate General for Education and Culture of the European Commission. It was clearly present in the 2011 statement on the importance of early childhood education (European Commission, 2011), as well as in a comprehensive study on competence requirements for the early childhood workforce, commissioned in 2010 to a consortium of the University of East London and Ghent University (Urban, Vandenbroeck, Van Laere, Lazzari & Peeters, 2012). The study consisted of a literature study, a survey on curricula for the different early years professions in fifteen countries and a series of seven in-depth case studies on how these recent challenges are met in diverse contexts. Projects like CoRE, as reported in this book, are exercises in interrogating complex contexts of public policy and professional practice.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
