'Dear
Mrs Dervey,

Thank you for your email dated 21 June
2013 about the eligibility criteria for Teach First programme. I
understand you have written in similar terms to the Rt. Hon Michael Gove
MP, Secretary of State for Education and Liz Truss MP, Parliamentary
Under Secretary of State for Education and Childcare. |

A reply will be provided shortly by Liz Truss MP, Parliamentary Under
Secretary of State for Education and Childcare and will be sent to
Graham Stuart MP who raised the matter on your behalf. In the meanwhile if you need anything further please do not hesitate to contact me. Your correspondence has been allocated reference number XXXXXXXXX. If you need to respond to us, please visit: www.education.gov.uk/contactus, and quote your reference number. Yours sincerely, Glyn Newton Early Years and Educational Psychology Division www.education.gov.uk  ' |
Would it be cynical of me to suspect that several of my pertinent questions may remain unanswered or be 'glossed over'? Wait and see....
This sounds like a letter her secretary has written. For somebody who thinks the early years is important it's not the letter of support I would like to be seeing! More neurological connections are made during the first 2 years of a child's life than ever again. We are important. Foundation building blocks. Without us those connections are never made real!!!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree and thank you for your support. Please pass on the details of this campaign to your colleagues, study-mates, friends, and others who are interested in supporting the education and well-being of very young children.
ReplyDeleteThe more hits we can reach through Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, etc. the more likely we will get this petition through to those with the power to improve the dreadful state of affairs.
