How to prevent your licence being downgraded
|
|
|

The Ministry of Education revealed recently it has downgraded more than 300 early childhood education centres across New Zealand in 2017 and 2018 after identifying operational problems.
Data released under the Official Information Act showed that each of these early childhood providers were downgraded from full to provisional licences, however according to industry sources the number of additional centres in danger of having their licences downgraded is likely to be higher.
In this article we look at what services need to do to avoid a licence downgrade and how to stay in line with current licensing regulations.

Bilingual teachers
in demand
|

Recent changes in government policy may result in increased demand for bilingual teachers - particularly those who can speak Te Reo Māori or Pasifika languages, according to industry experts.
Given that children are more successful at learning another language the younger they are, early childhood services are the ideal environment for offering children the opportunity to learn, speak and hear another language and this is driving demand for bilingual educators.
