„Participation in early childhood education and care (ECEC) has increased in Austria but quality issues remain. Attendance by 4 year-olds reached 94.9 % in 2016, close to the EU average of 95.3 %; for 5 year-olds it has already surpassed the EU average, reaching 97 %. Participation by under 3 year-olds increased between 2010 and 2016 by 8 pps.“
