The birth of this blog incidentally coincides with the swearing-in of a new National-led government in New Zealand. The new team at the top is Anne Tolley as the Minister of Education and her Associate Ministers Dr Pita Sharples and Heather Roy. Dr. Sharples was a key figure behind the Kohanga-Reo (community language-nests/ECE centres for Maori) movement - "total immersion Māori language family programme for young children" .
It would be intresting to see how the new combination at top works and what changes (if any) they make to the ECE policy and the impact it has on practice on the ground.
More later
