| LETTER TO EDUCATION MINISTER |
We promised you that we would contact the Education Minister with recommendations on how parents, carers and children can receive information on the ‘Birth to three matters framework and standards’ and National Curriculum directly to their homes
Have a look at the recommendations put to the Education Minister in January 2007. |
| REPLY FROM EDUCATION DEPT |
The reply received from the Education Department informs us that the BT3M framework will be integrated into the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which is due to come into force from September 2008.
However, the response does not address how parents, carers and children will directly receive updates in relation to the National Curriculum. We have addressed this with the Education Department and will advise you of the outcome. |
| 2ND REPLY FROM EDUCATION DEPT |
You will be interested to know that the Department is providing a number of projects to help parents engage in their children's learning. These will be specifically aimed at providing parents with information on helping their child get the best start in life and how they can best support their children's learning at home.
A leaflet and DVD for parents are about to begin a pilot phase and will be rolled out from autumn 2007. I will be contacted to take an active part in the pilot phase of the development of these materials. Watch this space! |
