  • TALIS 2024: Starting Strong Survey
  • ECEC staff activities support child development, with a particular emphasis on social and emotional growth. Practices like encouraging children to help each other and express their feelings are used daily by a majority of ECEC staff in all countries and subnational entities.
  • ECEC staff spend most of their time in direct contact with children, though this varies widely between survey participants. – from 68% in Colombia to 90% in Denmark. Notably, if staff work longer hours this does not necessarily mean they spend more time with children.
  • Engaging in other tasks while in contact with children is common in all systems. However, some staff lack dedicated time for tasks not involving children. Planning or preparing activities alone is the work-related task consistently associated with staff reporting they work longer hours.
  • Job satisfaction among ECEC staff and leaders is high. Over 90% of staff in most countries and subnational entities report they are satisfied and feel valued by parents and children.
  • The percentage of staff reporting work-related stress varies substantially across systems. It ranges from under 20% in pre-primary education in Colombia and Israel to over 75% in Germany, in both levels of ECEC. In many countries and subnational entities, having too many tasks at the same time and performing extra duties are top sources of stress.
  • Leaders identify staff absences and shortages as the main barrier to providing quality environments for children. Staff also report that a lack of substitutes is a major barrier to participation in professional development activities.
  • Most ECEC staff are trained to work with children. They have at least post-secondary education (ISCED Level 4 or higher), with rates ranging from 87% in settings for children under age 3 in Israel to 99% in pre-primary settings in Spain and Türkiye.
  • Ongoing professional development is often limited to courses and seminars. These formats are used by over 60% of staff across all countries and subnational entities. More effective formats, such as job-embedded training and collaborative learning approaches (e.g., coaching or induction), are less common.
  • Staff report a strong need for additional budget and training resources to support children with special education needs.
  • In most systems, a majority of ECEC leaders report a need for greater support from local, regional or national authorities. The share reaches 85% or more in pre-primary settings in Colombia, Japan and Morocco.
  • Public and private ECEC settings are unevenly distributed. Public settings are more common in rural areas and in neighbourhoods perceived as less favourable by leaders in several countries and subnational entities.
  • In many systems, leaders in public settings report facing more challenges than their counterparts in private settings including a higher proportion of vulnerable children (e.g., from socio-economically disadvantaged homes), less adequate physical space (e.g., poor ventilation, high background noise), and less communication with families.

  • * Estimates for the Flemish Community of Belgium (in ISCED 01), Germany, Ireland, Norway, New Brunswick (Canada) and Quebec (Canada) should be interpreted with caution due to higher risk of non-response bias. Data from New Zealand only represent respondents included in the sample and not the population targeted by the survey.

    Note: These values should be interpreted with care since they are influenced by countries' specific contexts and trade-offs. In education, there is often no simple most- or least-efficient model. For instance, the share of private expenditure in education must be read against other measures designed to mitigate inequities, such as loans and grants; longer learning time is an opportunity to convey more and better content to students, but may hinder investments in other important areas. If you want further information on the nature of different variables, please take the time to read the analysis and contextual information, available at the website for each publication.
    The OECD average includes only OECD countries which are listed here: http://www.oecd.org/about/membersandpartners/

    Reference years displayed in the Education GPS correspond to the most common year of reference among countries for which data is available on each variable. Data for the latest available year is preferred and some countries may have provided data refering to a more recent or late year. To know more about possible exceptions on data please click on the "Download Indicator" link on each variable. When a year of reference corresponds to a school year encompassing two years, the reference reads as follows: 2025 for school year 2024/2025.

    *TALIS averages are based on all countries participating in the TALIS survey, including partner countries and economies. This explains the difference between the OECD average and the TALIS average. Data from the TALIS survey and Education at a Glance (EAG) may differ. See TALIS technical report and Education at a Glance sources methodologies and technical notes for more details about the data collections.
