This document summarizes a study on investing in early childhood education in Montenegro. It finds that preschool education has significant benefits for child development and prepares children for primary education. Currently, preschool coverage in Montenegro reaches around 60% of children ages 3 to 6, with wide variations between municipalities. The study estimates the annual costs of providing full-time preschool for one child to be around €2,000. It models the costs of introducing universal three-hour preschool preparatory programs and expanding coverage to all children ages 3 to 6, finding it would require around €20 million annually. The study provides recommendations to improve access to quality early childhood education in Montenegro.
This document summarizes research on the impact of television on children. It discusses how television is a powerful medium that influences children's understanding of reality. Through observational learning, children are more likely to emulate behaviors that are frequently modeled and rewarded. Research by Albert Bandura found that children who observed aggressive behaviors on television were more likely to display aggression themselves. While some studies link television to increased aggression in children, the relationship is complex and positive modeling could also influence prosocial behaviors.
