Traduction de «Pre-school learning centre » (Anglais → Français) :

I think increasing the allocation of funds for pre-school learning, pre-school opportunities for children, is of fundamental importance.

A majority of countries or regions have lowered the starting age for compulsory language learning in the past 15 years and some even offer it in pre-school - the German speaking community in Belgium, for instance, provides foreign language learning for children as young as 3.

In day cares, early childhood learning centres, pre-schools and primary and secondary schools, only a biopesticide or a specifically designated pesticide can be applied inside or outside.

To implement these ideas the White Paper identifies five general objectives and a number of support measures: - to encourage the acquisition of new knowledge (a number of support measures are proposed: launching a European system for recognizing key skills, a personal skills card and a European skills accreditation system; facilitating student mobility; supporting the development of multimedia educational software), - to bring schools and the business sector closer together (opening up education to the world of work; involving businesses in training; developing cooperation between schools and businesses), - to combat exclusion (supporting "second-chance" schools schemes by concentrating resources and capacity in deprived areas; promoti ...[+++]ng European voluntary service initiatives), - proficiency in three Community languages (providing support for language learning at pre-school level and during vocational training through the use of systems for assessing and guaranteeing language teaching quality), - to treat tangible and intangible investment on an equal footing (by changes in the fiscal and accounting treatment of expenditure on training).
