本场讲座背景
在新自由主义背景之下，学前教育对国家经济的贡献受到世界各国广泛认可。学前教育被视为儿童未来发展和终身学习的重要基础。因此，全球学前教育政策越来越侧重政府管理和监督，以期能够确保学前教育服务的有效性和政府投资效益。政府通过督查和测评的方式来建立标准化的学前教育质量体系，并通常以儿童结果为导向。在世界经济合作与发展组织（OECD）关于各国学前教育体系和质量的研究报告推动之下，不同国家之间学前教育质量的国际比较备受推崇。虽然通过对各国学前教育体系和政策的对比，能够为各国追求高质量的学前教育提供借鉴意义。但是，是否能够建立全球性的学前教育质量标准，又是否需要文化适宜的学前教育指标，仍备受关注并值得进一步探讨。
此次线上学术讲座邀请到了印度尼西亚、英国和中国三地学者共同阐述新自由主义如何体现在不同社会、文化、政治背景下的学前教育体系中。通过反思新自由主义的当代霸权性，三位学者将探讨在后疫情时代下学前教育挑战和对抗新自由主义的可能性。以下三个问题将会是讲座讨论的重点：
1. 新自由主义如何影响并体现在不同背景下的学前教育体系当中？
2. 在新自由主义的高压之下，不同国家学前教育面临哪些挑战？
3. 在后疫情时代之下，有哪些挑战新自由主义的机遇和可能，以实现全球学前教育的公平与公正？

Situated in a powerful policy discourse of neoliberalism, early childhood education (ECE) is increasingly politicised across countries as an arena for promoting state economic gains through providing young children with the foundations for future opportunities and lifelong learning. A global discourse of governance and control therefore emerges in ECE policies, aimed at ensuring the ‘effectiveness’ and socio-economic returns of ECE provisions in which governments invest.
In those policies, accountability is emphasised through inspections and assessments oriented by quality standards and child outcomes. Such accountability measurements further lead to the comparison among ECE systems internationally, especially as pushed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) initiatives, reports, and studies. Whilst comparisons between ECE systems provide alternative and/or various practices and possibilities to achieve high-quality ECE, the attempts to define international quality standards and indicators despite the contexts remain controversial.
In this research seminar, we invite international scholars from the global north and south to illuminate how neoliberalism manifests and shapes ECE in different social, cultural and political contexts. Reflecting on its hegemony, our speakers explore possibilities for resisting, refusing, and contesting neoliberalism in post-pandemic contexts of ECE. The following questions will be discussed in this seminar:
1. How does neoliberalism manifest and shape ECE in different contexts across the globe?
2. What are the challenges that ECE faces under the regime of neoliberalism in various societies?
3. What opportunities are possible in a post COVID-19 era to contest neoliberalism for social justice and equity in global ECE?
Seminar overview:
5 min Introduction
20 min Presentation of each speaker (incl. 2-3min Q&A if needed)
20 min Panel discussion and Q&A
5 min Conclusion (One key take-home message from each speaker)

Children, Family, and Society Virtual Research Seminars 2021 aim to bring together international scholars to discuss research on important issues for children development and education in different societies. We seek to promote dialogues between Chinese and international scholars in the field. Through a series of research seminars, we hope to build up a platform for knowledge exchange and research sharing, thereby contributing to research collaboration and enhancing research impact on children, family and society.
