Yields of early childhood education are high.
introduction
This report performance compares education from early childhood in Ireland to other developed countries. According OCDE1, education, early childhood must meet four criteria. Hopefully education in schools for children under three years but not more than six years. These programs should be specifically designed to meet the needs of education and child development, and were conducted by trained personnel in this type of education in particular.
Free Pre-School program Year2 was introduced in 2010, providing a school year of education from previous three3 age. To date, 63,000 students annually receive education from early childhood under the plan, at an estimated cost of € 166 million. A study by the National Economic and Social Forum 2005 estimated that, on average, more than € 7 performance are achieved for each € 1 education.4 invested in early childhood.
The economy of early childhood education
To provide context for this report, this section presents a brief summary of the discussion on the importance of education is offered from early childhood. In it the evidence of early education for those specifically described statements before extending this argument to discuss their broader benefits. Melhulsh et al. (2008) 5 attempts to quantify the impact of early childhood education in relation to the performance of primary school. This study used a sample of scores in English and math tests for students in eleven years in England, taking into account changes in the socioeconomic background of the student. It is estimated that the average profit of six years of primary education is equivalent to just eighteen months preschool education quality.
Cunha et al. (2006) 6 provide a detailed summary of the benefits of early childhood education, arguing that the returns on investment in human capital is the largest city in the pre-school years. Figure A describes the economic justification for investing in early childhood for a typical student. It is assumed that the amount invested in education is constant across all ages.
Figure One: Returns to education investment
Figure One: Cunha et al. (2006), rates of return on investment in human capital, investments initial configuration are the same for all ages.
Learning functions have diminishing returns to scale; benefits of investing in early childhood education beyond the equivalent income in later life. Regardless of the intrinsic property of a particular student, the distribution of investment in education is more effective at an early age. The authors suggest that the losses by the insufficient provision of early childhood education opportunities are cheaper costs. The investment required to enable a person to converge to the level that otherwise exhibit this form of education increases with age. Cunha et al. suggest that these costs are often "prohibitive" and therefore students are denied access to preschool education can not meet their original levels of potential.
This suggests that exposure to these forms of education increases both cognitive and non-cognitive skills. In terms of cognitive achievement, academic consensus suggests that access to early education accelerates the ability of students to develop intellectual skills during childhood and adolescence future. As Heckman (2000) 7 summarizes, "learning begets later learning", children need an initial framework for literacy and numeracy education provided by youth to expand in the future level differences. achievement among the groups receiving early childhood education and those who do not perpetuated in time. The non-cognitive benefits can also be discussed. In circumstances where early childhood education can not directly stimulate the IQ score of a student develop important social and emotional skills. Krashinsky Cleveland (2003) 8 support these non-cognitive skills derive long term benefits. They are supported to help prepare for future employment and educational outcomes, and are associated with better behavioral consequences. Moreover, as Lave and Wenger (1992) 9 summarize, exposure to various school environment at this early age offers the "optimal environment for cognitive development of children, emotional and social growth."

Funding for Early Childhood Education
This section explains how early childhood education is financed in Ireland. To provide context for this particular form of education, Figure two shows the percentage of education expenditure of gross national income of a sample of seventeen countries of the European Union. These values are for 2010.
This shows that overall spending on education is proportionately second highest in Ireland, about 8% of gross national income. This value is 2.14% above the average of the sample. Moreover, the sum of annual expenditure per student in Ireland exceeds the average EU and OECD through two primary forms tertiary, secondary and 201011. This measure takes into account power parity, given the cost of education spending in relation to the quantity of other goods may be.
Figure Three provides the values of total spending on early childhood education as a proportion of total expenditure on education through a sample of eighteen countries of the European Union.
Figure Three provides the values of total spending on early childhood education as a proportion of total expenditure on education through a sample of eighteen countries of the European Union.
As a percentage of gross national income, the Irish spending on early childhood education remains low in the sample. 0.13%, is almost eight times lower than that of Denmark. The second lowest in spending on early childhood education in the sample, the UK, sometimes ratably over two and a half years the Irish level. To reach a conclusion on the basis of these results, we can consider spending above average per pupil compared with the EU and OECD in higher forms of education. Therefore, this evidence suggests that Ireland puts less weight of importance to education in early childhood is observed internationally.
Student to Teacher Ratio
Figure Five exposes the student to teacher ratio education in early childhood education, comparing Ireland to other sixteen countries of the European Union for 2010. It is important to note that teachers are defined as the cumulative sum of employees and teachers professional help
This shows that the relationship in Ireland, 19.8 students to each faculty member, is the second largest in the sample. There are about more than 5.4 students per faculty member in education programs of the small Irish childhood than the OECD average. Class size in encapsulated by the student-teacher relationship often grade associated with better educational outcomes15. So we can consider this measure to approach the quality of learning. However, this figure does not include other relevant factors, such as duration of teaching days or the amount of instructional time factors..
