Early childhood education
Ben CARROLL (Niddrie – Minister for Education, Minister for Medical Research) (10:20): I really want to congratulate everyone that has been part of the Best Start, Best Life program, saving some families $2,500 per child annually. Last week I had the pleasure of visiting the Gowanbrae Children’s Centre, which really reinforced for me what we are doing: transforming early childhood education, providing the best start for children, supporting families with cost-of-living measures and helping parents get back to work and study if they wish. This is what government is about: focusing on early education, primary education and then secondary education and making sure everyone in the Education State has a pathway. To all the team out at Gowanbrae, well done.
