ECEC is high on the policy agenda of Ukraine. In this perspective the Government of Ukraine took important initiatives to reform the preschool Education sector, this is reflected in the ‘Law on Pre-school Education’ (2016) and the ‘Fundamental Component of Pre-school Education’ the Standard for Preschool Education in Ukraine and the New Ukrainian School. UNICEF Ukraine is supporting this process through this study which is an international consultant’s system level analysis of ECEC in Ukraine using the European Quality Framework (EQF). This study is based on interviews and focus groups with policymakers, trainers, stakeholders, teachers and site visits. The results of the study focus on which actions must be taken to strengthen the competence system so that the education system can implement the changes the Law on Preschool Education requires.
