Context and Principles for Early Years Provision

It is important to keep in mind, that there are a number of early year's provisional programs being by a number of governments which are relevant to the topic. To be able to evaluate the core essence of Early Years Provision, the Provision of Scotland (UK) will be evaluated and studies, referring to the information of other relevant programs to make the study relevant. Considering this, the study contains information and guidelines from a number of Early Year Provision programs from around the globe (Broadhead, 2004).

What happens to children in their earliest years says much about our society and is a key to reflect outcomes in adult life. This is now by a wide range of research evidence from education, health, justice and economic experts. This framework at its simplest is about giving all the children the best start in life and the steps the Scottish Government, local partners and practitioners in early year's services need to take to start on that journey (Kozol 1991).Legal status and principles of the early year's framework

These programs are to improve the standards and learning of the nation's children, and are to abide by all international standards without a doubt. This means that they not only have to abide by the guidelines of the UK government, but also the guidelines set forward by the UN and other such regulatory bodies. This is to be done in line with the changing demographics and factors that influence the youth in all aspects of life. Considering the implication of such programs globally, it is important to consider the information from the World report. According to the World report on the situation of youth in 2005, the number of young people (those aged 15 to 24 years) in the world increased from 1.02 billion people (in 1995) to 1.15 billion (in 2005). At the moment, young people account for 18 percent of the world's population and 85 percent of youth of the world live in developing countries of which 209 million are to exist on less than 1 U.S. dollar a day; 515 million are to settle for less than $ 2 per day. Currently, 10 million young people living with HIV / AIDS (Lithium 2011).

Although the current generation, of youth is the most educated of all previous in human history, today 113 million children are not in school. This is a figure quite comparable with the 130 millionth groups of illiterate young men of the modern world. Youth in large part, has the level of mobility, intellectual activity and health, which distinguishes it from other groups. At the same time, in front of any society is the need to minimize costs and losses incurred by the country due to problems related to the socialization of young people and integrate them into a single economic, political and socio-cultural space which programs like this aim to improve.

German sociologist Karl Mannheim (1893-1947) found that youth is a reserve, to the fore when such recovery becomes necessary to adapt to rapidly changing qualitatively or unusual circumstances. Dynamic society sooner or later have to step up ...
