Are you an educator as well as a parent of a child/children aged 0-5 years old? Do you have burning questions you would like to ask about the future of the Early Childhood Education and Care sector? Especially when the next NSW election is coming soon (like 23 March 2019)? Well, here is your chance!
The Australian Childcare Alliance (ACA) NSW will be its Election Debate NSW 2019 on either the week of 4 February 2019 or 11 February 2019, subject to the availabilities of all three parliamentarians:
- the Hon Sarah Mitchell MLC, NSW Minister for Early Childhood Education (NSW National)
- Ms Kate Washington MP, NSW Shadow Minister for Early Childhood Education (NSW Labor)
- the Hon Justin Field MLC, NSW Greens Spokesperson on Early Childhood Education (NSW Greens)
Alongside ACA NSW President Lyn Connolly, a leading media commentator and a representative from the Centre for Independent Studies, the People's Champion will have the opportunity to ask a range of questions of their choice to these three elected parliamentarians.
Questions from childcare affordability, jobs, quality of early childhood education and care, assessment and ratings, the NSW Department of Education ... you can ask anything.
Nominations will close on COB Friday, 25 January 2019. Good luck!
