Today's #ECDReform Voices story features Anonymous. “They want me to pay R37,082 for Roads and Storm Water... I can’t understand why it is so high and even why I, as the applicant, need to comply with these conditions... the children mostly walk to school” https://t.co/dUPqa820Nb

This is a great explainer video courtesy of one of the campaign’s founding organizations @SmartStartSA about what the Children’s Amendment Bill means for the ECD sector and why legislation needs to be fixed to make the registration process less demanding https://t.co/h4jPLsDf7U

In our next #ECDReform Voices story, MARI from KZN says: "I'm distressed as are ECD owners in the Chesterville Forum, that they are being... intimidated to stay closed... ECD owners and supervisors are so fearful of the Department of Social Development.” https://t.co/u1fRmOz1LO

Looking forward to some power working to advance universal access to quality ECD!

I guess all the giants have to fall eventually... Still heartbreaking to lose the hero who inspired me to do law. Qhawe lamaqhawe. I hope our next generation is ready to inspire and to work just as hard. #RIPGeorgeBizos

This week (17-21 August), the ECD workforce will be participating in digital and physical protests in the bid to save jobs and an entire sector that is responsible for laying the foundation for lifelong learning. To join the protests,
follow these guidelines #SaveOurECDworkforce

[Covid19 People's Coalition SA @CovidCoalition]

175 000 early childhood development (ECD) jobs, crucial for children and communities, are likely to be decimated as a result of the pandemic.

Join us as we unite with ECD workers in a week of protests to get government to intervene. #SaveOurECDWorkforce
