Pre-school education of children, which lasts until they began to their primary education, covers a period of the time between the ages of 0 and 6. This is the most important period of time in which they developed most of their physical, emotional, mental, social and linguistic skills, and their personality.  It is apparent that a big part of traffic problems occurs due to the lack of traffic education. Although it is important to have traffic education in all ages, the pre-school education helps them to acquire a habit of obeying the traffic rules and affects their behaviors.  In this study, the traffic information and perception of pre-school age children in Turkey is determined with the help of a survey applied to 804 children between aged 3-6; the missing and mistakes are identified, and the steps for a more accurate and permanent traffic education are discussed.

The article, using the National Sample Survey (henceforth NSS) data, establishes that the non-state providers, particularly the private-unaided sub-sector, have predominantly captured the primary school education market in Punjab. The predominance of these schools in the state has made the primary education a tradable commodity, catering to the demands based on the ability of the households to pay. In such a situation, the type of school (government or private) the households in the state are able to choose for their wards, particularly at rural level, is largely contingent on their caste and gender, which clearly shows that a new form of social inequality has emerged in Punjab (given not only that the learning environment in the government schools is perceived to be of formidable concern, but these schools are also non-English medium). The article suggests that without a properly functional state-financed school education system, the market forces will continue to strengthen the prevailing social inequalities.

Although great emphasis is given on the quality of early childhood education, the demographics of the teaching personnel attract limited attention even though those characteristics are linked to the quality of education. The present study aims at exploring gender segregation in pre-primary and primary education in Cyprus, using the statistical lenses through which feminization can be understood. The article presents the number of male and female undergraduate students enrolled in pre-primary and primary education programs. Employment data are also presented. This article sets out to discuss statistical data and literature to find out which research needs to be undertaken to ensure the inclusion of more men in pre-primary and primary education in Cyprus. Statistics highlight the need to critically examine existing literature, to conduct research with both males and females and to start the process of recruiting and supporting more males moving into pre-primary and primary education.

The world community agrees on the conceptualizing nature of early childhood development. This was formulated in the Incheon Declaration and in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The most significant part of the early development concept is the pre-primary education, which covers early childhood educational development and pre-school programs. Society's investments in early childhood development are highly profitable as resources spent are much less than the return from them: according to some estimates, $1 spent on pre-primary education can gain from $4 to $17 of social return. At the same time, financial resources, that countries can spent on education, are limited, especially after the latest financial crisis. In Ukraine, the situation is worsened by the domestic socio-economic crisis of 2013–2014. The article aims at grounding the ways of pre-primary education financing in Ukraine in the context of the implementation of early childhood development concept. The author assesses financial support for childcare, early childhood education and pre-school education programs in different countries. The comparative analysis showed a low level of financing and a negative trend in Ukraine, in particular compared with the neighboring EU-countries such as Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania. This indicates a low financial viability of providing quality pre-school education services in Ukraine. If the trend remains, Ukraine will lag behind the average indicators of social returns from pre-school education, especially in comparison with developed economies. The author substantiates the expediency of applying in Ukraine the measures aimed at supporting licensed private pre-school education institutions, in particular, simplifying the procedures for starting pre-school educational activities, state participation in financing licensed private pre-school institutions and applying innovative schemes for financing pre-school education based on public-private partnership.
