Early childhood strategic plan
Education Minister Trevor Mallard will tomorrow release the Strategic Plan for Early Childhood Education which has been
presented to Government.
Work on developing the plan began in August last year with a large working party, reflecting the diverse range of groups
within the early childhood sector. In the last few months a smaller group refined the plan to identify key priorities
and goals.
The Government’s response to the report will be incorporated into next year’s Budget process.
The group has been chaired by educationalist Dr Anne Meade.
Details of the release are as follows:
Time: 10.30am
Date: Thursday 1 November
Place: Beehive 7.2
