Child Care Goals in the UK
May 22, 2003
"The highest reward
for a person's work is not what they get for it, but what they become by it."
�"John Ruskin
CHILD CARE GOALS IN THE
UK
Megan Pacey from the Day Care Trust in the United Kingdom, makes
these observations at the 2003 World Forum:
"The success of Britain's Labour Government's ambitious agendas to move
families from welfare to work, raise educational attainment and eradicate child
poverty in a generation all hinge on there being a modern childcare and parental
leave infastructure that matches the best elsewhere in the world. Substantial
amounts of Government money are now being spent on pump-priming childcare in
Britain, yet British parents continue to pick up most of the childcare bill.
"Despite a three-fold increase from 66 million pounds in 2000-2001 to over
200 million pounds by the end of the next Comprehensive Spending Cycle, most
parents in Britain are no closer to seeing a growth in more quality, affordable
childcare. The sustainability of services remains as critical as ever."
