OECD Conference on Early Childhood Education in Paris

Kathrin Bock-Famulla accepted an invitation by the OECD to present information on innovative approaches used in a number of countries for financing elementary education. Over the course of the two-day conference, the international Network for Early Childhood Education examined more effective ways of providing childcare facilities with the resources they need. The Bertelsmann Stiftung has developed an approach that begins by looking at the desired level of quality of education and at the specific challenges faced by the childcare facility. The basic idea is that each facility should be funded based on its individual situation and needs.
