Based on a five-year research project, this book explores the development and practice of this ambitious reform campaign with national empirical evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors evaluate the puhui ECE system (e.g., puhui early education policy, puhui kindergarten services, puhui child care services, and total teacher compensation) from the perspective of universal ECE provision for all children. They focus on children from disadvantaged families such as migrant children, children with special needs, and children from low socioeconomic families by emphasizing the targeted provision of ECE based on the principle of educational equity. In addition, they explore the innovative ways to optimize the structure, quality, and efficiency of puhui ECE provision by introducing an innovative provider with the participation of social organizations (China Welfare Institute) and three innovative forms of provision, including village kindergarten, small-scale urban kindergarten, and compensation for children with special needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to policymakers, scholars, and researchers in early childhood education, education policy, and education development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yu Zhou,Yong Jiang,Xingjian Zhu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032859156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032859156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/26\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Yu Zhou","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175806710015,"sku":"9781032859156","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3bb84e7-2271-4130-9c13-e1de17f5e3b9.jpg?v=1771336021","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/towards-an-era-of-puhui-yu-zhou-9781032859156","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
