The current political issue that I have chosen to discuss is that only 50 to 79 percent of teachers in early childhood centres are permitted to hold a qualification and the other  21 to50 percent do not need one at all (other than in kindergartens where 100 percent of teachers must be qualified). I am interested in this political issue because it amazes me how anyone could think it is okay to have as little as 50 percent of teachers in a centre who are not qualified. Does a primary school allow for this to occur? I was lead to believe that the first three years of a child's life was the most important for their brain development. So why is it that only early childhood centres allow for this rule? From this I would like to learn more about how the government can justify their reasons for this and am interested to see if my point of view changes at the end of this assignment because right now I believe that 100 percent of teachers in ece centres should be qualified.
