Question:401 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Education and Science when he will publish the White Paper on early childhood education; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6746/99]
Written Answers. - Early Childhood Education.
Work on a White Paper on early childhood education is under way in my Department. This follows the National Forum for Early Childhood Education, which I hosted last year, and which provided an opportunity for all those involved in the area of early childhood education to come together and to share their viees on future policy in the area.
It is my intention that the White Paper will be completed as soon as possible.
