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."
