Spelling out how NSW preschools can do better. - article week 5

From Sydney Morning Herald, date Tuesday, August 16, 2011, page 3.

Notes:
- Number of children in New South Wales (NSW) missed out on preschool education
- Other states 100% and NSW only 80%
- School fee and other expenses create many problems - disadvantage families.
- $220million- state government- will be funded to early childhood education program- assist more than 178000 children attend preschool in 2400 centers
- A good start for all NSW children in education.

Summary:
Number of children in New South Wales (NSW) missed out on crucial preschool education, lowest rate compare to Victoria and other state, close to 100% children in other state have chance to enter early childhood education while NSW children have only 80%. The school fee in the for-profit preschool in NSW and other expenses on early childhood create a lot of problems to many disadvantaged families. The state government has reviewed $220million in funding the early childhood education which assist more than 178000 NSW children attend preschool and long day care in over 2400 centers. The goal is providing access to crucial early childhood education for all NSW children to get a good start and they do not fail behind others.

Personal reflection:
In my opinion, I like this article and I’m very pleased to support the state government’s idea in funding the huge amount of money into the early childhood education program. This will prove that the government starting to show the caring for the disadvantage families and give their children a chance to enter the early childhood education; help them improve their knowledge and create a better life for every family. Hopefully, there will be no unemployment in the future, everybody will be very happy to work in many fields and helping to create a better Australia.
