Research Around the World

The website that decided to look more into was Early Childhood Australia. When looking at the research topics and media releases that have been recently released I found some very interesting topics.
One of the topics that I found was how the early years education is missing from the federal budget.The article talks about how the government keeps talking about funding early childhood but continues to nickel and dime early childhood education. They also discuss how the income for teachers needs to be raised, this is something that I think all countries need to take into consideration, finding education and their teachers.
Another article that I read what about preschool attendance in children ages 3-5m and how these children were not reaching their full potential because they were not fully attending. The country is trying to make their education more affordable and let parents pay less out of pocket for their children to attend quality preschools.
An incite that I gained from looking at this website is that they are having similar issues with their education system that we are. So many times we are focused on our own country and how we are being told that our education is lacking but other countries are having the same problems. Just as we are trying to fix our own problems they are also trying to fix theirs.
This website also had great resources to read up about. You could read about babies and toddlers, school readiness and sleep habits, even about behavior management. You can sign up for their newsletter for more information or just go and look through all the great topics.
