In 2000, the Millennium Development Goals set out targets aimed at
creating a safer, more prosperous, and more equitable world. If
these goals were to be achieved, children's lives would indeed be
transformed. In this collection, achievements against these targets
are identified, with each contributor examining the progress made
in early years provision in Australia, China, England, Greece, the
Netherlands, Portugal, South Africa, and Sweden. They highlight the
priorities and agendas of their respective governments, and focus
on the trends and issues which are particularly relevant to each
situation, thereby revealing the social and educational
inequalities that persist across countries. A common theme running
through this volume concerns the political tensions that arise when
governments and educators hold fundamentally different views about
the nature and purpose of early years education and the needs of
children and families. It is clear that although the past two
decades have seen many changes in attitude towards the importance
of the early years of life; politically, economically, and
environmentally, much still remains to be done if the Millennium
Development Goals for young children and their families are to be
fully met. Despite this, this volume demonstrates that those who
work in this area continue to experience a deep concern for the
well-being of young children, which transcends cultures, frontiers,
and political and sectarian divides. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the International Journal of Early
Years Education.
