Taking action to raise Early Childhood Education quality

National has announced the establishment of two working groups to improve the quality of early childhood education (ECE). The early years of children’s lives are crucial for learning and development, and every single one of our children deserves the best education they can get.

The independent ECE Taskforce report – An Agenda for Amazing Children – emphasised the absolute need for all ECE to be of a consistent high quality.

National is taking action to make sure all ECE services are of the highest possible quality.

To do this we need the experience of experts to help us get it right. The advisory groups are made up of people who understand the issues and challenges of ECE because of their experience and expertise in the sector.

The first meetings will take place later this month, and the groups will report back to the Government in April.
