ECE advocate says system needs overhaul

From Morning Report, 8:29 am on 17 November 2020

The damning results of a survey of Early Childhood Education teachers comes as no surprise to an advocate who wants the system overhauled.

A quarter of the 4000 teachers surveyed said they wouldn't send their own children to what they say are crowded and understaffed centres.

Mike Bedford is a specialist in early learning environments and says the conditions are driving teachers out of the profession.
