On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Supported by research documenting the importance of the early years, global interest and investments in young children are increasing dramatically, with many countries debating how best to marshal resources to foster increased quality and more equitable distribution of services. With the goal of understanding how six high-performing countries advance their services and policies for young children and their families, a comparative analysis was undertaken to discern specifically how countries plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate their efforts. Using a contextually driven, systems perspective, the study both confronted formidable methodological issues and revealed compelling findings that have been used to guide early childhood policy development internationally. This presentation will discuss study intentions, research considerations, and results, leaving time for participants’ discussion.
