Te Rito Maioha Early Childhood New Zealand (ECNZ) applauds and supports the claim for pay equity for early childhood teachers launched by NZEI Te Riu Roa today.

The latest OECD report on early childhood education underlines the case for 100 per cent qualified teachers, and casts the government’s repeated failure to restore funding for teaching staff in a poor light, says Te Rito Maioha Early Childhood New Zealand (ECNZ).
 

(Joint Media Statement - Te Rito Maioha Early Childhood New Zealand, New Zealand Education Institute, New Zealand Kindergartens Incorporated) Groups representing more than 400 kindergartens and 500 Early Childhood Education services have joined with teachers to express serious concern for the education of New Zealand children following years of chronic underfunding.
