刚看到自己邮箱里转发的下面的邮件（见下面英文原文邮件），如果联盟党真的毁约了工党在过去几年对这个国家基础教育改进所做得最大也是最实际的努力，如果你有孩子或者不久将来会有，你明天怎么选？
比如毁约工党已经开始执行了的：
- 降低幼儿园老师与孩子的比例（我给大概解释一下：比如：在2012年1月1日前是三岁以下1：5，之后到今日是1：4，孩子们得到更多的照顾同时老师也得到更多的时间可以更细致的工作）
- 停止对老师的最基本师资的要求 （大概解释一下：在2012年1月1日前，哪怕没有Early Childhood Education Certificate III这个最基本的证书的人，只要说自己爱这份工作，就可以上岗。在这之后，只有持有CIII的人才可以有资格去幼儿园工作。并且工党政府要求幼儿园在2015年要达到园里至少有一半的员工要有diploma的资质才可以有营业执照，而今天联盟党竟然放出请大家回到解放前的教育政策，这个，很难让人理解。澳洲的很多教育人士已经非常忧虑基础教育的薄弱并且很辛苦的工作制定了 the National Quality Framework并且开始在去年元月1日开始一步一步实施，联盟党今天竟然要wind back the Framework，开玩笑开大了个人以为）
- 停止之前工党承诺的从今年7月1日起给有资质实力的幼儿园里的老师工资上调至少3刀每小时。
仅限个人的观点：我希望给幼儿园的老师更合理的薪水，目前私人幼儿园17，18刀起步价，公家的会好一些22，23刀。我个人也有孩子，我更希望自己的孩子每天在幼儿园里是交给了老师（educator)，而不是国人嘴里喊的‘阿姨’或者本地人嘴里的‘Carer'。但是，低薪能吸引什么样的人去这个行业呢？不需要高薪，只要给得合理，会有更多真正爱孩子也多少有教育背景的人去从事这行，这个，我以为是有孩子的人都希望看见的。但是，如果联盟党真当选了，我们这些有年幼孩子的家长能看到什么？多少人送得起私校从2岁到18岁？
不一句一句翻译了，总归，看到这个邮件很震撼，发来给大家同震撼。非给工党拉票，选联盟党的请便，就事论事，对一个国家的基础教育能这个态度的党，很有才！
Dear Centre Director,
I am writing to let you know that the Coalition have just released their policy to wind back the National Quality Framework the day before the election to avoid scrutiny.
The Coalition have committed to:
· reduce staff-to-child ratios;
· stop basic training requirements for staff; and
· stop wage increases for early childhood staff.
I’m asking you to print this flyer, put it in parents’ pigeon holes and stick it up in your centre before pickup time to let them know about the Coalition’s secret plans before it’s too late.
You can read their policy here.
The Rudd Labor Government disagrees. We understand that what you do for children during their early years has a huge impact on their development.
We know that your service and your staff have been working incredibly hard to implement the National Quality Framework and improve the quality of early childhood education and care to give children a better start at life.
We need to make sure that your staff and parents know that a Coalition Government will mean that the improvements your service has been making will be stopped in their tracks and wound back if they are elected on Saturday.
Federal Labor is committed to taking real action to improve the quality and affordability of our child care system. We increased the Child Care Rebate from 30 percent to 50 percent and we’ve introduced the National Quality Framework.
Federal Labor will also provide more support more of your staff to upskill to a Certificate III through our new Skilling for Better Services plan – because we know how critical this training is in giving children a great start at life.
In contrast, Mr Abbott has been hiding his child care policy because people wouldn’t vote for him if they knew what he had in store – cuts to the quality of child care for Australian children.
We also still don’t know just what is up to be cut in their promised review of child care.
This sector is too important for us to take a backward step from our record levels of investment and positive reform.
Please print this flyer so parents can know about the Coalition's secret plans.
You can share this graphic on Facebook here to help to spread the word.
Sincerely,
Kate Ellis
Minister for Employment Participation and Early Childhood, Childcare and Youth |
