Stages of forming and development of preschool education in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Abstract

In order to identify the stages of early childhood education and development in the United Kingdom, we have taken a systematic-historical approach that allows us to assess the specific state of early childhood education and to reflect on the characteristics of a particular stage. In the process of determining the stages of development of preschool education, the principle of consistency and consistency was followed.
We have highlighted 8 stages in the development of pre-school education in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Stage 1: The birth of pre-school education in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (18th – early 19th centuries).
Stage 2: Formation of pre-school education in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (mid-nineteenth to late nineteenth centuries).
Stage 3 – "Preschools in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the Early Twentieth Century".
Stage 4: Preschool education in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland during the Second World War (1939–1945).
Stage 5: The Development of Pre-School Education after the Second World War (1945-1970).
Stage 6 "Preparation of Preschool Education Specialists during the Conservative Government (M. Thatcher, J. Major) (1979-1997)".
Stage 7 “Preparation of Preschool Education Specialists during the Labor Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (1997-2000)”.
8th stage “Development of modern preschool education” (2010–2019).
A detailed description of each of the identified stages in a retrospective aspect in the political, social, and cultural contexts of society is given, since education is influenced by all the transformations that characterize its development.
