Today I was with a co-hort of universities across NSW meeting with Claire Britt and others from the NSW Department of Education. We were discussing future research possibilities to support children in early childhood education and care in NSW.
Here are some public statistics that they shared about the NSW Department of Education:
- 1.2 million + learners in early childhood, public schools and training
- 94,000+ teaching staff
- 47,000+ school-based support staff
- 2,200+ principals and schools
- 6,000+ early childhood education and care services
