These include:
- Cutting pay for new, relieving, and fixed-term teachers.
- Loosening teacher qualification requirements.
- Scrapping compulsory curriculum standards around

So, on Friday 27 June, ECE National Day of Action, it's also
Whanaungatanga Friday!
Show your local Community ECE Centres some aroha and manaakitanga:
- Pop in with some treats - chocolates, flowers, home baking, coffee - whatever you think busy kaiako would enjoy.
- Include a letter, card or wee note as a tautoko.
- Collect signatures for the petition and drop them in, too.
