Abstract

Participation of at least 95% of children between the ages of 4 and the mandatory school age in high-quality preschool programs represents an important contribution to the achievement of the Europe 2020 strategy. Slovenia is not far from achieving this objective; however, if we consider participation in preschool programs from the perspective of the entire population of preschool children and the realisation of children’s rights, we note that nearly a quarter of children - among them (at least in the wider European area) the most disadvantaged - have not realised the right to education. We studied the awareness of the importance of ensuring access to preschool programs for all children on a representative sample of 106 Slovenian preschool principals by means of quantitative pedagogical research. The results show a high percentage of disadvantaged children in the preschool areas and in the preschools themselves; on the other hand, only a low percentage (only one-third) of preschools collect data about disadvantaged children and implement preschool programs for them; only one-fifth of preschools implement preschool programs for disadvantaged children. In order to act responsibly and enable all children the right to education, we must start devoting greater attention to identifying and including disadvantaged children in preschool programs.
弱势儿童纳入学前教育:儿童的权利与社会责任
至少95%的4岁至法定学龄儿童参加了高质量的学前教育项目,这是对实现欧洲2020战略的重要贡献。斯洛文尼亚离实现这一目标不远了;然而,如果我们从整个学龄前儿童人口和儿童权利实现的角度来考虑学前教育项目的参与,我们注意到,近四分之一的儿童——其中(至少在更广泛的欧洲地区)最弱势的儿童——没有实现受教育权。我们通过定量教学研究的方法研究了106名斯洛文尼亚幼儿园校长的代表性样本中确保所有儿童获得学前教育计划的重要性。结果表明,学龄前地区和幼儿园本身的弱势儿童比例很高;另一方面,只有很低比例(只有三分之一)的幼儿园收集有关弱势儿童的数据并为他们实施学前教育计划;只有五分之一的幼儿园实施了针对弱势儿童的学前教育。为了采取负责任的行动,使所有儿童都有受教育的权利,我们必须开始更加重视识别并将弱势儿童纳入学前教育计划。
