France's PräsidentEmmanuel Macron has announced that all children in his country will have to go to school at age of three. In Germany, Dasundenkbar would be: here compulsory schooling is valid for six years, before it is played. There is a consensus on importance of early childhood education, and individual education experts and local politicians argue that a kindergarten obligation is equal to equality of opportunity. That is why German parents seit1996 a legal claim to EinenKindergartenplatz from three years, and since 2013 even from ErstenGeburtstag.
But a daycare duty, applies majority, destroy family life. Instead, new family Minister Franziska Giffeymehr calls for quality in daycare centres. Thus, young children should be encouraged and not forced to speak German, to turn, to experiment with Musikinstrumentenoder outside with mud and sticks. The current costs also speak for a daycare obligation: Daycare centers are considered to be a service for working parents, so y usually pay fees for it. Jejünger The children are, higher fees. In some federal states re are Inzwischenkostenfreie Kitajahre, and in Coalition Treaty Union and SPDvage are striving to make all kindergartens and Kitaskostenfrei. Daswäre is a first requirement for a daycare obligation.
France's path is extraordinary not only in comparison to Germany. European countries are very different with early childhood education. In Austria, since 2010 children from five years of age are required to attend a child institution for one year, distributed at least 20 hours per week to five working days. During school holidays re is no obligation. Staying away is allowed on höchstensdrei weeks a year, no matter if children are excused for Krankheitoder holidays.
Read here how France, Spain and Switzerland hold it.
France: Everyone should learn same wordsWith compulsory schooling from three years onwards, French government will give all children same starting chances. In France, almost alleJungen and girls already go to so-called École Maternelle before elementary School: 97Prozent were in 2017. For most French families, training takes place at age of three. Those who send SeinenNachwuchs to school later are often religious, Christian and Muslim, or live in overseas Territories wieMayotte.
The écoles maternelles work similarly to schools: y start for all ages every morning punctually at 8.30 am. Three years of learning count, four-year-olds paint ir erstenBuchstaben, and five-year-olds take a testimony home. It says wher you can write kurzeWörter, triangles and squares auseinanderhaltenund stories from weekend. The little ones learn in classes with 25 to 30 children, y are taught by a teacher and EinerHilfskraft. From 4.30 pm You can be picked up or left in DerBetreuung. The long times and large groups surprise vieledeutsche parents. But French parents are used to it: four five women continue to work full-time despite children. Even cribs for babies from age of three months are open until evening at half past seven or longer – and well attended.
By new law WillMacron emphasize how important his Meinungnach are first years of schooling. Currently, educational experts advise via program of future Maternelle: especially DieSprachfähigkeit of small should be promoted. For WieBildungsminister Jean-Michel Blanquer is happy to mention: a child of a privileged parental home has heard 30 million words more than a child with less educated or language-lazy parents until his fourth Lebensjahrinsgesamt. From school year 2019sollen, all little French and Frenchwomen will hear same number of words – in schools and not at home.
