OECD Thematic Review of ECEC: Italy country note

About the OECD Thematic Review of ECEC and Italy's participation:
Invited by the participating countries, OECD expert teams evaluate each country's policy, programs and provision for children from birth to compulsory school age. Prior to the review, participating countries publish a background report describing current policy and practice, and outline the challenges that ECEC policy faces in the coming years. After the expert review, the OECD publishes a country note that discusses the issues observed, and suggests solutions and recommendations for the consideration of the competent authorities. Italy was the third country to be visited in the course of the first round of reviews.
