BRIEFing NOTE prepared by the CRRU
Childcare Resource and Research Unit, October 2004.
This BRIEFing NOTE summarizes the recommendations provided in the OECD
Thematic Review of ECEC: Canada Country Note.
Canada was the seventeenth country to be visited as part of the OECD
Thematic Review of ECEC. Prior to the visit, a Background Report on ECEC
policy in Canada was prepared by Gillian Doherty, Martha Friendly and
Jane Beach.
After analysis of the Background Report, a review team consisting of
an OECD Secretariat member and three experts with diverse analytic and
policy backgrounds visited Canada between September 21 – October
3, 2003. The Country Note was published on October 25, 2004. The Country
Note discusses issues observed, and suggests solutions and recommendations
for the consideration of the competent authorities.
The full Canada Background Report and Country Note, as well as many other
useful resources related to the Thematic Review, are available online
on the OECD web site.
