Home truths - why home-based services are popular with early educators
|
A New Zealand Educational Institute survey has revealed the growing toll early childhood education teacher shortages are having on staff and services around the country. This recent research shows that 80.3 per cent of both employers and employees think staff shortages have affected their ability to teach, with over three quarters of those surveyed feeling it was harder to maintain the minimum required teacher to children ratios.
This growing concern around increasingly difficult working conditions for early childhood teachers has become a big reason for qualified teachers making the move from teaching in centre-based services to setting up their own home-based services.
