"The Productivity Commission has just released a major report as part of its
inquiry into early childhood education and care.

The draft recommendation that all children under five should have access to
three days a week of “high quality” early education is grabbing headlines.

But if this is going to happen, we need a workforce to provide it. And in its
report, the commission glossed over educator burnout and their working
conditions. This is what makes it so difficult to retain staff.

Our research shows why this needs to change."
