How can a commitment to workforce development strengthen early childhood education? 🍎

ELACCA, Parliamentary Friends of Early Childhood, govt & industry got together today to facilitate this conversation & work on putting together the pieces of the workforce puzzle 🧩

“The shortage of qualified early childhood teachers is currently the single most pressing issue facing Aust early learning system.

We’re now in a situation where we are looking at alternate pathways into the profession as well as building capacity.” Prof Cathrine Neilsen-Hewett

It’s our role to facilitate conversations that are brave, bold and hopeful.”

Making the economic case for public investment in early learning for ALL young children - now & in the future. A double return on investment.

Now out in the Journal of Political Economy with Jorge Luis Garcia, & Victor Ronda: More evidence that investment in early childhood education just keeps paying off w/ higher earnings & more stable family environments that benefit the next generation.
