Personally, I’d be thrilled if some policy makers and advocates would quit pitting child care against early education (preschool). Good care is always educational. Good education is always caring. (I think that pretty well sums up 60 years of developmental research.)

How could you trust such a survey when they single out israel from all the countries in that part of the world i wonder if egypt, lebanon syria are more peaceful countries and if the survey is politicised than the whole survey is not reflecting reality and you cannot rely on it nor refer to it
