Encouraging Quality in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) STRATEGIES TO TACKLE CHALLENGES IN IMPROVING WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND WORKING CONDITIONS

Many countries offer some form of professional development opportunities for ECEC staff. However, the take-up rates are often found to be low. First and foremost, information about training opportunities may not be well known, or the benefits of participating may not be clearly articulated, especially among low-qualified ECEC workers. Second, continuous training and professional development might be disconnected from what they wish to learn, and, therefore, they may not be motivated to take training.
