In England, early years of teachers will be offered tax-free payments of £ 4,500 to work in nursery in the disadvantaged areas as part of government efforts to promote standards.
The incentive is designed to attract and maintain fully qualified employees in 20 areas, the education department said on Monday that without really confirming which places would benefit.
The scheme is part of a comprehensive strategy designed to reduce the difference between pre-school children due to the unveiling on Monday.
Education Secretary Bridget Philipson said the plan “will help our youngest children to give the best start in life” – but conservatives said that labor tax changes had barely hit the nursery.
The government said it would spend £ 1.5 billion on its so -called best beginning in life strategy, which makes a Labor campaign pledge for improvement services for the youngest children to increase education and health standards.
The Education Department said that currently one of the 10 nurseries is an expert in the early year.
Direct payment to trained teachers is to encourage employees to work in areas with the most intense needs.
Payment will start next year, although no details about eligibility criteria have been published.
The package of reforms also proposes that an evaluation of all new providers within 18 months involves an proposal to increase the number of nurseries.
Announcing the plans, Philipson said “the best way to reduce inequalities is to deal with them quickly”.
On Sunday, the government also said that it would give funds New local hub to offer support for youth services and parentsWhich is modeling at the fixed start centers set up under the new labor government and after 2010, it is largely closed.
Early years of Alliance’s Neil Lith stated that the announcement of early years was a “positive development”, but warned that the strategy would only work “if it is supported with tangible support – financial or otherwise”.
Chhaya Education Minister Neil O’Brien said that the increase in national insurance contribution of employers had left the nursery “on the verge” across the country.
Some have “had to close hike fees or their doors”, he said, “Families are being left to face high childcare costs and less locations.”
