The international results of the International Early Learning and Child Well-being Study (IELS) will be released on 5 May 2026, presenting internationally comparable data on the learning and well-being of 5-year-old children attending Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) centres and/or schools. The study directly measures emergent literacy and numeracy, executive function, as well as social and emotional skills. In addition, it collects information on each participating child through questionnaires completed by parents and staff.

The OECD has released the results from TALIS Starting Strong 2024, addressing the practices, background, professional development opportunities, and working conditions of staff and leaders in early childhood education and care (ECEC) across 17 countries and jurisdictions.

The OECD has published the latest Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2024 report, presenting insights from 280,000 educators across 55 education systems on teachers’ working conditions, professional development, and the realities of the modern classroom.
