ANALIZA FINANCIRANJA PREDŠOLSKE VZGOJE V SLOVENIJI IN PRIMERJAVA Z DRŽAVAMI EVROPSKE UNIJE

SKOK, TINA (avtor), Klun, Maja (mentor)

Na področju predšolske vzgoje se skušajo predstaviti pomembnost financiranja in finančne dostopnosti, pregled pravne ureditve ter organiziranosti financiranja v Sloveniji in članicah Evropske unije. Namen je predstaviti, koliko države namenijo za predšolsko vzgojo, iz katerih virov se ta financira in s tem dopolniti nekaj predhodnih raziskav. Poleg tega je namen pridobiti mnenja in ugotovitve o področju financiranja predšolske vzgoje iz prakse ter tako predstaviti največje ovire in težave na obravnavanem področju. Cilj je s podrobnejšim pregledom organiziranosti financiranja predšolske vzgoje ugotoviti, kam se uvršča Slovenija. S kvantitativno metodo se želi na podlagi dostopnih podatkov uradne statistike narediti aktualna primerjava javnih in zasebnih izdatkov za predšolsko vzgojo v Sloveniji ter Avstriji in umestiti slovenski model v evropski prostor. Z intervjuji vodstvenega kadra v vrtcih se skušajo pridobiti mnenja glede financiranja v praksi in s tem ugotoviti, kje so možnosti za izboljšave. Slovenija ima izdatke za predšolsko raven izobraževanja opazno višje od povprečja držav EU in OECD, višji pa ima tudi delež zasebnih izdatkov za predšolsko vzgojo. Problem financiranja v praksi je v velikih razlikah pri cenah programov po občinah, ki jih občine samostojno postavljajo. Analizirani podatki in ugotovitve so lahko podlaga za nadaljnje raziskovanje ter dodatno identifikacijo problemov na raziskovanem področju. Rezultati lahko koristijo pripravljavcem zakonodaje s področja predšolske vzgoje za uvedbo sprememb zakonodaje, lahko pa so v pomoč tudi tistim, ki razmišljajo o ustanovitvi zasebnega vrtca.

Izvleček

In this thesis, importance of early childhood education and care (hereinafter: ECEC) financing and financing accessibility, legal overview, and financing system in Slovenia and EU member states will be presented. The purpose is to present how much do countries spend on ECEC, where does the funding come from, and therefore complement some previous surveys. Furthermore, the purpose is to obtain opinions and findings in regard to ECEC from practice, and therefore present the most important obstacles and problems in the discussed area. The goal is to analyse ECEC financing systems in-details, and evaluate Slovenia’s position in Europe. Quantitative method is used for comparison of ECEC public and private expenditures in Slovenia and Austria using the latest official statistical data, and places the Slovenian model into European space. Interviews with kindergarten management provide opinions and views of the topic from practice, and serve as a baseline for possible improvements. Slovenian ECEC expenditure is substantially higher compared to EU and OECD countries averages, as well as percentage of private expenditures for ECEC. In practice, the problem is in great differences in program prices between different municipalities, which are set independently by each municipality. The analysed data and conclusions can serve as a basis for further research and additional problem identification on this research field. Results can also be useful to legislation makers in the field of ECEC for legislation changes, as well as to people who are thinking of founding a private kindergarten.
