Early Childhood Development In Australia

Current Topics in Australia:
One of the articles that I found interesting was how they were hoping to gain a higher budget for childhood programs. They have share some of the same beliefs that the U.S. when it comes to funding a child's education. They also feel the importance of compensating their childhood educators in order to provide a quality education to children. I thought this was interesting considering the U.S. is also fighting this battle.

New Ideas/Insights:
Australia is also big on providing children with a healthy lifestyle and focus on fighting obesity and malnutrition within their education system. They provide resources on their websites that you can get ideas off of on how to live a healthy lifestyle such as eating a balanced meal and exercising.

Other Information:
The Early Childhood Organization focuses strictly on quality, justice, and equity of children and the education they are receiving. They act as a voice for these children to make sure they are getting the education that they deserve. I think this is a great idea because a lot of times it seems like the education system is always getting taking advantage of with all the budget cuts, untrained professionals, and lack of resources. It would be nice to have a group of people fight for the rights of education and restore equality back into it.
