First wave of media coverage for day of action

Tomorrow we are putting our hands together to mark the ongoing effects of budget cuts to early childhood education and draw attention to new cuts that come into effect on support grants for new teachers .

The day also marks the end of our community petition calling for more investment in ECE, which to date has over   56 000 signitures. The petition will be presented on the 9th of June at the big push event in Auckland so after tomorrow please get any remaining sheets into us at PO Box 466, Wellington 6140 as soon as you can.

Thanks to all our members and community that are taking part.You can see the first wave of media in stories from the

Otago Daily Times and
