@Our_DA and @jsteenhuisen We have one question for you: is the DA a party for the children? 👀

✊If yes, join us in numbers at our march to Con Hill on 20 April and recognise the crucial role ECD plays in rescuing SA! 🇿🇦

@Action4SA We've got one question for you: is ActionSA a party for the children? 👀

✊If yes, what better way to take ACTION for young children and our nation's future by joining our march to Constitution Hill on 20 Apr?

📢 [PRESS RELEASE] Despite the President’s signalling of ECD as a key priority in his SONA, the 2024 budget failed to allocate the funds necessary to fulfil all children’s rights to quality ECD services.

Representatives of the Real Reform for ECD Movement are available for media interviews before and following the release of the 2024/25 National Budget to comment on the need for proper funding for ECD in South Africa.

[Real Reform for ECD (RR4ECD) @EcdReform]

We cannot keep expecting the ECD workforce – mostly women, 90% of whom are paid less than minimum wage – to nurture our youngest children without proper state funding or support.

#Budget2024 #ECDReform (7/9)

[Real Reform for ECD (RR4ECD) @EcdReform]

4. Increasing funding for pre-registration and infrastructure support for ECD programmes.

#Budget2024 #ECDReform (6/9)

[Real Reform for ECD (RR4ECD) @EcdReform]

3. Increasing the Child Support Grant from R505 to the food poverty line (currently R760 per month) initially for children aged 0 to 5, and keeping it in line with the food poverty line to account for inflation.

#Budget2024 #ECDReform (5/9)

[Real Reform for ECD (RR4ECD) @EcdReform]

2. Providing a dedicated budget for ensuring that all young children in registered and unregistered ECD programmes have access to nutritious meals.

#Budget2024 #ECDReform (4/9)

[Real Reform for ECD (RR4ECD) @EcdReform]

Specifically, we are calling for:

1. Progressively increasing the ECD subsidy from R17 per child per day to R46 per child per day by 2029.

#Budget2024 #ECDReform (3/9)

[Real Reform for ECD (RR4ECD) @EcdReform]

We are calling on the Finance Minister to honour the President's commitment made in SONA to increase funding for ECD and expand access to ECD services #Budget2024 (2/9)

[Real Reform for ECD (RR4ECD) @EcdReform]

📢[PRESS RELEASE] If #Tintswalo was born in 2024, she would most likely not have access to quality ECD services and even if she did, there's a 50% chance that she would fail to "Thrive By Five".

Many of those who want to transform the education system and are working to make it equitable and accessible to all, have been inspired by someone who became their role-model or hero. https://t.co/3bOPEK1eDv
