By 2025, the Department of Education is likely to significantly expand its focus on early childhood education. Recognizing the critical importance of early years in a child’s development, there will be increased funding and support for pre-K and kindergarten programs.
Key aspects of this expansion may include:
- Universal pre-K initiatives
- Enhanced training for early childhood educators
- Development of age-appropriate STEAM curricula for young learners
- Increased support for families in early childhood education
This focus aims to narrow achievement gaps and provide a strong foundation for all children, regardless of socioeconomic background.
