 er: Professor Eva Lloyd\, Professor of Early Childhood in the School of Ed

 ng Lebanese early childhood education in a perfect storm\nEvent organised

 Youth\, University of Sussex.\nAll welcome\nFace-to-face in Bramber 120 an
 d on Zoom.\nAbstract\nThe 2019 – 2022 Early Childhood Education in Leban
 on study was funded by the British Academy Early Childhood Education Progr
 amme and supported under the Global Challenges Research Fund. Undertaken i
 n partnership with Lebanese colleagues at Rafik Hariri University\, the pr
 oject was inspired by Lebanon’s 2016 decision to open its public educati
 on system to all children and young people aged 3 to 18\, including Syrian
  child refugees. At the time Lebanon hosted approximately 1.5 million Syri
 an refugees\, half of them children. The 2020 pandemic and major socio-eco
 nomic and political unrest from autumn 2019 onwards\, resulting in widespr
 ead poverty among the population\, provided a challenging research environ
 ment. Nevertheless\, this study captured views of low-income Lebanese and 
 Syrian parents\, policymakers\, NGOs\, teachers and headteachers on the pr
 ovision of early childhood education and its impact. In this seminar I sha
 re study findings and some of the practical\, emotional\, and ethical dile
 mmas it raised.\nBio\nEva Lloyd OBE is Professor of Early Childhood in the
  School of Education and Communities at the University of East London and 
 Co-Founder and Director of its International Centre for the Study of the M
 ixed Economy of Childcare. She is also attached as Visiting Professor to U
 niversity College London’s Thomas Coram Research Unit. Her research focu
 ses on early childhood policies and systems\, particularly marketised syst
 ems\, and their impact on children growing up with disadvantage. She has 
 provided extensive advice to national and international early childhood po
 licymakers\, most recently as a member of an Expert Group developing recom
 mendations on a new funding model for the Irish Republic’s early learnin
 g and care system.
