“…10) was fully endorsed, yet it was not regarded as applicable to the Turkish ECEC context at the same level by policy-makers and practitioners. An integrated system under an education authority could ensure that ECEC becomes widespread as a public good not only as a day care service for working parents, but also as a right for children which should be provided free of charge (Neuman 2005). Turkey was ranked 43 and 41 out of 45 countries in terms of ECEC availability and affordability (Economist 2012).…”

Despite a wealth of evidence showing the benefits of early childhood education and care (ECEC), in Turkey participation remains low and inequitably distributed, even though access to services is soaring. Drawing from previous findings, this paper will focus on different stakeholders' views on a more integrated system of ECEC governance in Turkey. The research shows that Turkey, a country at the crossroads of forming the foundations of early childhood services, should consider the adverse effects of the current split system and focus on the integration of services to foster holistic development with the aim of offering quality and equity for all children.

“…Fourth, in order to reduce the geographical and socio-economic disparities that can arise with decentralization, local actors need funding and capacity-building to develop and implement ECD programmes effectively. Fifth, it is necessary to establish regulations and monitoring systems that can be applied equally to the full range of public and private settings (Neuman 2005(Neuman , 2007UNESCO 2007). This paper focuses on this last "lesson" or requirement of good governance: the need for a national ECD monitoring system.…”

There is need for a holistic, comprehensive ECD monitoring system that covers the multiple facets (i.e. education, health, social protection and the social and economical context in which the child is born) of public and private ECD interventions in a country. Such a system is essential for ensuring that all children can reap the benefits of ECD. It serves as a means of support and oversight for monitoring the performance and planning of ECD policies and programmes in developing countries. The paper highlights the importance of comprehensive ECD monitoring for making evidence-based decisions, and discusses practical issues to take into consideration when developing such a system.

“…This is a process which in recent decades has established itself especially in the Western countries, though at varying speeds and with different impact (UNICEF 2008). Of note also, is that early child education is organised within different governmental authorities in different countries, and in some cases also subordinated to different types of organisation within the individual countries (Neuman 2008). Today we can typically observe that early childhood education can be under the administration of a ministry of education, a ministry of social welfare or of a ministry of health (Neuman 2008:167ff).…”
