19.01.2022 Too many children are missing out on early learning in the year before school, says Early Childhood Australia after reviewing the Productivity Commission Report on Government Services. Most worryingly, the children missing out on preschool are those who would benefit most children from low socioeconomic backgrounds, children from non-English speaking backgrounds and children with a disability. Federal spending on preschool fell last year, which is disappointing, said Ms S...amantha Page, CEO of Early Childhood Australia. While the states and territories continue to increase their investment in preschool, it will take a national effort and national leadership to ensure that our most vulnerable children are included in early learning services.

05.01.2022 A step in the right direction! Education Ministers from all Australian governments met in Alice Springs and agreed to a new Education Declaration. It says a world class education system begins with making sure that every young child has the opportunity to benefit from structured play-based learning before they start school, because this helps build the social, emotional and cognitive skills they need to succeed in the years to come. We couldnt agree more... but the ministers stopped short of guaranteeing the long term funding needed to make this a reality. We look forward to seeing this in the next federal budget Scott Morrison (ScoMo). Read the Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Education Declaration here http://ow.ly/HOvJ50xADbt
