Intressant att man i Quebec i Kanada ser många av de problem vi ser hos våra barn och unga i Sverige idag. Delstaten Quebec införde subventionerad allmän förskola för alla barn, precis som vi gjort i Sverige. Resultaten är negativa , jämfört med övriga Kanada som inte gjort det.
"Disturbingly, the authors report that children's outcomes have worsened since the program was introduced along a variety of behavioral and health dimensions. The NLSCY contains a host of measures of child well being developed by social scientists, ranging from
aggression and hyperactivity, to motor-social skills, to illness. Along virtually every one of these dimensions, children in Quebec see their outcomes deteriorate relative to children in the rest of the nation over this time period. Their results imply that this policy
resulted in a rise of anxiety of children exposed to this new program of between 60 percent and 150 percent, and a decline in motor/social skills of between 8 percent and 20 percent.
These findings represent a sharp break from previous trends in Quebec and the rest of the nation, and there are no such effects found for older children who were not subject to this policy change."
