Based on the data of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in 2003 and 2009, we look at the relationship between preschool attendance and school performance, taking into account socio-economic characteristics of a family and a household. The effect of preschool education on student achievement is measured through the 15-year-old pupils’ scholastic performance in reading, mathematics and scientific literacy evaluated through PISA. We find that for male pupils the positive effect of preschool attendance on school performance disappears once we control for the factors of socio-economic background. In the sample of female pupils, the positive effect of preschool attendance on school performance remains significant even after we control for the factors of socio-economic background. Based on the PISA data results and the large nationally representative surveys (MICS, LSMS), we conclude that there are different possibilities for improvement of preschool education in Serbia, considered from the perspective of coverage and equity, quality of offered services, as well as a number of children per educator, and the total governmental resources earmarked for preschool education. This is important because improvement of preschool education contributes to the positive development of a relationship between preschool education and long-term education outcomes.

The aim of this paper was by relying on the relevant theoretical sources to enlighten the role and significance of counting-out rhymes in the development of preschool children’s musical abilities. The starting point was the fact that contemporary music pedagogy more often maintains the stance that all children are quite musically talented and capable of performing musical activities, although their achievements are of unequal quality. It is emphasized that a child’s musical ability is demonstrated through musical sensibility (hearing which implies sensitivity for the height and strength of musical tones, the sound colors, the relationship between tones based on their length) and the arousal of interests in music (which as a cognitive, emotional and voluntary reaction of a child to music can be interpreted as children's musicality). It is also pointed out that counting-out rhymes, as a type of musical activities, present the child’s most musical poetic, rhythmic and metric creativity, and that their specificity is that the counting-out rhymes stand out as children's creativity mirroring the beauty (educational, emotional, aesthetic) in the unbreakable bond between the creators and the performers of the same content within the same age range.
