ABC NZ CEO Rob Facer donned a green shirt and took a turn on the speaker's podium at the NZEI-organised rally to protest ECE cuts in Auckland this morning.

More than 1000 people marched along Queen St and then gathered in Freyburg Place to hear a range of speakers including Mums, teachers and academics, talk about why 100% qualified ECE teachers is the only way to go.

Rob talked about how all those gathered were in it together and how important it was for employers to strive for 100% qualified teachers and for the government to support all organisations in these endeavours.

 

ABC NZ is proud to have more than 96% of centre-based staff ECE qualified or in training.
