Abstract

This chapter offers an insightful examination of policies and practices within Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Türkiye, employing the critical theory framework to shed light on areas requiring further evaluation within the field. Despite governmental initiatives aimed at fostering equality, the chapter underscores persistent inequalities in accessibility, quality and affordability within Türkiye’s ECE context, constraining educational opportunities, notably for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. In light of critical theory’s emphasis on achieving educational justice as a catalyst for societal transformation, the chapter advocates for a fundamental overhaul of existing policies in Türkiye. Key recommendations include the expansion of services especially for children aged 3 and below, ensuring high-quality education across diverse institutional contexts, and implementing measures to enhance affordability of ECE, particularly for children from low-income households. Increasing the budget for public investments in ECE and addressing the negative impacts of privatisation are crucial steps towards achieving equity in ECE.
