The proposal emphasizes the equality of all children, regardless of age, municipality of residence or economic status of parents, they wrote. They believe that free kindergartens would also have an impact on children’s better preparation for primary school. In addition, they predict that more parents, especially women, would be employed.
The proponents also emphasized that the economic cost of kindergartens due to inflation and the increase in general prices is becoming a greater burden for parents. The bill’s amendment proposal introduces a systemic change in the financing of pre-school education, after which the parents’ payment for kindergarten programs would be eliminated, and this burden would be taken over by the state budget. Meanwhile, the municipalities would retain the existing share of financing, that is, the difference between the program’s price and the state budget’s funds.
The changes, according to the proponents, would further burden the state budget.
