Romania's early childhood education system is underdeveloped, impacting women's workforce participation and children's development, according to Minister Valentin-Sorin Costreie. He emphasized the need for more nurseries and kindergartens, as well as qualified staff to foster children's growth. Costreie argued that early education is crucial for emotional and intellectual development, and criticized the view that these institutions should only provide basic care. He linked education to economic competitiveness and women's entrepreneurship, urging for a focus on nurturing creativity in children to ensure Romania's future success. The study "Romania's Untapped Potential" highlights women's economic participation and unpaid work.
