IEU welcomes funding injection but pay inequity remains an issue across ECE sector
The Independent Education Union (IEU) welcomes the Federal Government's announcement today of a $10 million injection into the early childhood training sector and an expansion of the HECS-HELP scheme.
But IEU Federal Secretary Chris Watt said although the measures were welcome, they would not resolve the ongoing shortage of qualified staff across the sector while pay inequity remained an issue.
