EARLY CHILDHOOD TEACHERS NEED TO BE HEARD
The government says it wants Aotearoa to be the best place in the world to be a child. That won't happen unless we properly value early childhood education. The first 1000 days of a child's life are crucial.
When we undervalue ECE, we're undervaluing children's development," (Ms Oakley)
"There is a funding crisis and a huge pay gap in early childhood that's just not okay. On average, early childhood teachers are paid 23% less than other teachers with exactly the same qualifications and experience. Next year that will blow out to 49% for some. That's just not right, and it won't lead to good outcomes for children."
"ECE Voice is about the entire sector, whether they're union members or not, coming together to say the funding crisis and pay gap are not okay.
We're PLEADING FOR you to add your support for more government funding and a commitment from the government to fix the pay gap.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
