It follows the companion report 'toward an equal start: closing the Early Learning Gap for Roma Children in Eastern Europe' (World Bank, 2012), which provided an assessment of the preschool and early learning gap between Roma and their non-Roma neighboring children using the UNDP/World Bank/EC regional Roma survey (2012) data. The objective of this report is to learn from the practical experiences by the AGS project and thus to provide practical insights for policy makers and program managers designing Early childhood and care services promoting inclusion of Roma children and their families. The annex at the end of this case study provides an overview of some other practical resources. By no means a comprehensive list, it includes information on early childhood education and care training materials and projects, which have been designed to benefit young Roma children, as well as examples of information on tools and methodologies to improve the quality of ECEC for minority or other disadvantaged children more generally. REF, in collaboration with its international partners, has also developed several useful resources based specifically on the AGS experience. These include (i) case studies that were developed to explain the different methods used to help the children and their families, (ii) 'a teacher's guide to good practices in inclusive early childhood services', and (iii) a 'good practice guide to data collection. 2014-02-10T22:04:58Z 2014-02-10T22:04:58Z 2013-06-11 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2013/06/18600107/good-start-ags-scaling-up-access-quality-services-young-roma-children-case-study-roma-education-fund-pilot-project http://hdl.handle.net/10986/16983 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Other Education Study Economic & Sector Work Europe and Central Asia Europe Eastern Europe Slovak Republic
