Introducing universal capture of children aged 3-5.5 by preschool education through three of four-hour programmes is financially possible and cost effective, show the results of the study “Investment into education in early childhood in Serbia – Models of financing universal capture by preschool education“.

Enrollment of all the children aged 3-5.5 who are not captured by the preschool education system by three and four-hour programmes would require an investment of EUR 46 million or approximately 60% of the funds earmarked for education in the local budgets, and would have the best chance of reaching the most vulnerable too.

The study and the resume in the form of a brochure may be accessed at www.unicef.org/serbia.

The study is a product of cooperation of Unicef and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development.
