Educator calls for overhaul of early education in Australia
A leading educator in Australia is calling for a change in the way the country's youngest students learn. "Children don't need to be taught curriculum -- they need quality relationships, quality attachments and quality boundaries," Philip Gammage said. "Zero- to six-year-olds should be concentrating on play-based learning, drama and aural learning."
