We also see the disparity in quality Early Childhood services in remote and regional areas, furthering disadvantage for children in these regions. iier.org.au/iier32/cross.pdf

‘Latest report shows that participation gaps between most equity groups of children have increased or haven’t improved much. ECA is concerned about the impact that this unequal access can have on children’s long-term educational outcomes and wellbeing’, Sam Page, CEO, ECA. 🧵1/1

Children in remote and regional Western Australia don't have the same access to quality early years education and services. All children deserve quality opportunities regardless of where they live. Check out my journal article that unveils this disparity iier.org.au/iier32/cross.pdf…
