Ethics and Politics in Early Childhood Education

Meer over het boek

The book examines the ethical and political implications of early childhood services through the lens of the Reggio approach and post-structural theories. It critiques the trend of governments treating investments in children's services as mere technical and managerial challenges, arguing that this perspective neglects the fundamental needs and best interests of children. The authors advocate for a more thoughtful consideration of democratic values and the true purpose of early childhood education amidst growing demands for measurable outcomes.
