Guest Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 6 hours ago Elizabeth Truss published her document on the New Early Years Educator and the criteria that will be required to work with early years ratios. Does anyone know if current level threes will have to retrain to meet this new criteria? I have staff that are due to finish the latest level Three in December 2013 and they are going to be distraught if their new qualification is not good enough. Help!
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I think the short answer is that we don't know. At least, I haven't seen specific mention to this anywhere. I think there may also be similar issues with practitioners who have what is currently a full and relevant Level 3 qualification but do not have Maths and English GCSEs. We need to ask the question of the Minister, maybe?
Guest Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Thank you Happy, I will look out for further information.
AnonyMouse_29641 Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Early years educators is what practitioners are caled in Australia. I see other corrolations between recent changes there and what is proposed here. I don't have time to search at the moment but if I did that's where I'd look. Honey
