Kurki, Tuuli; Masoud, Ameera; Niemi, Anna-Maija; Brunila, Kristiina – European Educational Research Journal, 2018
Today, education is massively affected by marketisation and the drastic demands of the global economy.

Logan, Helen – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2017
In pronouncements of early childhood education and care (ECEC) policy the importance of quality appears as a seemingly irrefutable concept.
