EARLY
YEARS EDUCATION — POLICY STATEMENT
427. Hon LINDA
SAVAGE to the minister representing the Minister for Education:
I refer to the minister's press release of 23
December 2010 as she released a review into educational practice in early
childhood conducted by Professor Collette Tayler, and her statement that over
the next few months, the state government will develop a full policy statement
on teaching and learning in the early years, incorporating some of Professor
Tayler's findings.
(1) Has the
state government developed a full policy statement on teaching and learning in
the early years; and, if so, has it been released and will the minister table a
copy of it?
(2) If the
state government has not developed a full policy statement on teaching and
learning in the early years, why not, and when is it likely to do so?
