At the ECEC in Europe launch event on 3 March 2021, European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, Mariya Gabriel, presented the report on How to recruit, train and motivate well qualified staff.
The ET 2020 Working Group on early childhood education and care published guidelines that examine the variety of professions and profiles working in ECEC settings, the need to recognise the value of their work, how to make the professions attractive and how well-trained staff contribute to high-quality ECEC.
The EU Quality Framework for ECEC, annexed to the 2019 Council Recommendation for High-Quality ECEC Systems, recognises in its second principle the importance of ECEC staff.
Speakers include representatives of the ministry of education from Slovenia, the city of Ghent, European trade unions ETUCE and EPSU and the Danish trade union BUPL. Stakeholders and colleagues are encouraged to ask their questions during the live event.
