This year marks the first year that Ireland is participating in the OECD Starting Strong Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS Starting Strong). Find more on TALIS Starting Strong and how to take part here: bit.ly/TalisStartingS…
@First5_Ireland This is a waste of time imo… Services are closing…some are struggling financially due to government policy…Give them more paperwork…It’s so unfair.
@First5_Ireland Can't imagine Ireland will fair well in this. The First 5 is failing. Zero investment in services or staff for yrs has led to closures & staff exodus so many cannot access their ECCE or ELC anymore parental choice is gone they take what they get not what suits their child best.
@First5_Ireland @pobal Straight to the shredder. More box ticking by providers and staff which will have no bearing on the viability of the service. The only requirement at the moment is an increase in funding for services, most of whom have been stuck in a fee freeze for up to 10 years.
