Recommendation 22
22
Paragraph: 124
Review Level 2 English and maths requirements for ECEC staff, prioritising numeracy quality.
Recommendation
In the short term, to prevent the existing qualification levels of falling any further, the Level 2 English and maths requirements for ECEC staff to count in staff:child ratios should be reviewed , and alternatives considered that are more tailored to the early years sector. When considering the results of the consultation on this matter, the Government should ensure that any changes to this requirement ensure that quality of numeracy teaching is a priority.
