"The early childhood education period is considered to be the most important for the future level of educational attainment of an individual. In 1996, the European Commission recommended that the EU countries should invest at least 1% of GDP in early childhood education and care. According to an OECD survey carried out in 2004, however, only five countries out of the 20 reviewed had achieved this investment level. In the context of an unstable economic climate and a period of drastic austerity measures, childhood education is easily neglected. In reality, however, the failure to invest in this area has costs that will arise in the future, such as lower potential economic gains and increased costs of health care, protection against crime and anti-social behaviour."@en1
