The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) covers learning and development of children from birth to five years old, and all registered early years providers in England must follow the EYFS.

LITERATURE REVIEW The authors of the academic journal “Starting Behind: A Comparative Analysis of the Academic Standing of Students Entering Charter Schools” Garcia, McIlroy, and Barber demonstrated that students entering a charter school are at an academic disadvantage in comparison with the students that choose to transfer to public schools, affecting the agreement stipulated on the charter to improve and maintain a high level of academic standards, producing a negative effect on how the school will be evaluated for the continuation of the program. To do this they rely on the use of statistical data from the Arizona and Washington DC state records. Charter schools are public entities funded by the state that operate under a charter or contract

The education gap in many countries arises when the private schools have a higher standard then public schools. However, not everyone can afford the private schools and thus a educational gap is created. The rich can afford to send their kids to private schools while the poor can’t. To tackle the skills gap, a plausible solution would be to have third party organisations, funded by the government, to train people for specific jobs and get them the skills required, from social skills to technical skills. The target for these organisation could be fresh college graduates who lack real world experience.
