42 - CHAPTER 2. WHERE DOES SWEDEN STAND COMPARED TO OTHER COUNTRIES? NOTES 1 Private kindergartens/owners are allowed to leave Christian values out of their curriculum planning. 2 The World Values Survey is a global research project that explores people’s values and beliefs, how they change over time and what social and political impact they have. It is carried out by a worldwide network of social scientists who, since 1981, have conducted representative national surveys in almost 100 countries: www.worldvaluessurvey.org.

Common challenges countries face in enhancing quality in ECEC curriculum are: 1) defining goals and content; 2) curriculum alignment for continuous child development; 3) effective implementation; and 4) systematic evaluation and assessment. Sweden has made several efforts to tackle these challenges by, for example, covering the entire ECEC age range as an integrated system with one national framework; taking into account children’s varying conditions and needs when developing content; providing support materials for staff in identifying children’s needs and implementation of curriculum; and assessing curriculum outcomes using observation techniques. To further their efforts, Sweden could consider strategies implemented by New Zealand, Norway and Portugal, such as developing curriculum content for different age and development groups; explicitly linking the ECEC curriculum to primary school curriculum; including practical examples in the curriculum to support staff and stimulate development at home; and evaluating the implementation of the curriculum.
