  1. OECD Education Indicators Programme (INES) Network on Early Childhood Education and Care Pre-primary education in Education At a Glance

  2. Levels 0 in ISCED 1997 • Level 0 = ‘Pre-primary education (initial stage of organized instruction)’ • “Programmes designed primarily to introduce very young children to a school-type environment, i.e. to provide a bridge between the home and a school-based atmosphere.” • Main classification criteria: educational properties of the programme; school or centre based; the minimum age of children (3 years) and the upper age limit. • Subsidiary criterion (proxy): pedagogical qualifications of staff.

  3. Rationale for changes in ISCED 2011 • Policy developments and increased attention paid to early childhood care and education (ECCE) over the last decade. • ECCE provision (age group 0-3) increasingly referring to ‘educational’ goals/objectives. • Trend toward a gradual extension of compulsory education at the pre-primary level. • Changes in the scope of basic education (gradually extended to cover upper secondary and all or part of pre-primary education) • A more integrated view (boundaries between the stages of basic education becoming less evident).

  4. Levels 0 in ISCED 2011 • Early childhood development (children younger than 3 years) and pre-primary education (from age 3 to entry into Level 1). Level 0 = ‘Pre-primary education (initial stage of organized instruction) • 2013 : More data should be collected in UOE data collection.
