Early Childhood Education Cuts

At the same time as claiming to want to lift literacy and numeracy the government has cut millions of dollars from early childhood education, targeted at the highest quality centres, the ones employing the highest numbers of qualified and registered teachers. Now centres face the choice of either cutting numbers of qualified staff or raising fees. If you have children in early childhood education this will effect you and your community. Please write to local media and government MPs and express your concern. You can find out more at NZEI's early childhood education website ecetogether.
