The Network upholds the mandate of the Education Policy Committee to assist countries to develop effective and efficient policies for education and learning to meet individual, social, cultural and economic objectives. The network aims to support the development of approaches and good practice in the field of early childhood education and care (ECEC) policy in participating countries by:
- Developing, sharing and disseminating information on experience, research and good practice of country experiences in the field;
- Serving as a clearing house of new policy research in the field and identifying new areas for fruitful policy research and analysis;
- Identifying data development needs and contributing to the development of methodology for developing such data;
- Organising workshops on selected policy themes; and
- Facilitating contacts among researchers, policy-makers and practitioners and among other international networks in related fields.
The Starting Strong Network was hosted by Kind en Gezin (Belgium) for the period January 2007- April 2008. The Network's current Chair is Dr. Jacqueline Jones (United States).
