New push for children to start school atthe age of three as education experts say Australia 'can't afford to wait anylonger' as we fall behind Europe and China

教育專家稱，隨著我們落后于歐洲和中國(guó)，澳大利亞“再也不能等待”，這促使兒童從三歲就開始上學(xué)

Children should start school at the age ofthree to give them the best start in life and to stop Australia falling behindEurope and China, leading experts claim.

專家稱，兒童應(yīng)該在三歲開始上學(xué)，這是為了為他們提供最好的人生起點(diǎn)，并阻止澳大利亞落后于歐洲和中國(guó)。

Lobby groups are urging the Federal Government to boost funding for morechildren to have access to school earlier.

LOBBY團(tuán)體敦促聯(lián)邦政府增加資金，讓更多的孩子能夠更早地進(jìn)入學(xué)校。

More and more private schools and early learning centres are offering'pre-kindy' which exposes children to play-based learning so they are betterprepared for when they start school.

越來越多的私立學(xué)校和早期學(xué)習(xí)中心提供“學(xué)前班”，讓孩子們接觸到基于游戲的學(xué)習(xí)，這樣他們就可以更好地為他們上學(xué)做好準(zhǔn)備。

Many programs have lengthy waiting lists and now an initiative led by the EarlyLearning Benefits campaign wants extra funding so more children have access topre-school education.?

許多項(xiàng)目都處在冗長(zhǎng)的等待名單中，現(xiàn)在由早期學(xué)習(xí)有利運(yùn)動(dòng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的一項(xiàng)倡議需要額外的資金，以便更多的孩子能夠接受學(xué)前教育。

'We have some children already having access to high quality learning, but manyare missing out … equity is a big issue,' Early Childhood Australia CEOSamantha Page told The Courier Mail.

“我們有一些孩子已經(jīng)可以獲得高質(zhì)量的學(xué)習(xí)，但很多人都錯(cuò)過了......公平是一個(gè)大問題，”澳大利亞兒童早期首席執(zhí)行官薩曼莎佩奇告訴The Courier Mail。

Latest statistics show only 58.5 per cent of three-year-olds in Australia areenrolled in pre-school programs, compared to 95-100 per cent of children in France,Denmark, Norway, Israel and Spain.

最新統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)顯示，澳大利亞只有58.5％的三歲兒童參加學(xué)前教育計(jì)劃，而法國(guó)，丹麥，挪威，以色列和西班牙的兒童有95％至100％。

University of the Sunshine Coast senior lecturer Dr Ali Black, saidinternational research showed children introduced to high quality educationearlier were more likely to go to university, gain better jobs and even owntheir own homes.

陽(yáng)光海岸大學(xué)高級(jí)講師阿里·布萊克博士表示，國(guó)際研究表明，更早接受高質(zhì)量教育的兒童更有可能上大學(xué)，獲得更好的工作，甚至擁有自己的住房。

Children would typically attend two days a week for five-and-a-half hours.

兒童通常每周上課兩天，每次五個(gè)半小時(shí)。

They would have lessons in music, literature, languages, as well as moresocial-based lessons about respecting others and regulating emotions.

他們將學(xué)習(xí)音樂，文學(xué)，語(yǔ)言課程，以及關(guān)于尊重他人和調(diào)節(jié)情緒的更多基于社會(huì)的課程。

Ms Page said Labor made a commitment in October to extend funding to earlyeducation for three-year-olds by 2021.

佩奇女士說，工黨在10月份承諾到2021年將撥出資金用于3歲兒童的早期教育。

Childcare and early learning provider C&K is among those leading the waywith pre-kindergarten rooms, like Banyo in Brisbane's north.

擁有學(xué)前教育幼兒園的兒童保育和早期學(xué)習(xí)提供商C＆K是學(xué)前教育的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，擁有如布里斯班北部的Banyo幼兒園。

But it is not equal. If it is a good thing then why are some childrendiscriminated against and not allowed to go to preschool at 3 in fact they arebanned.?

但它并不公平。 如果這是一件好事，那么為什么有些孩子受到歧視而且不允許他們3歲時(shí)去學(xué)前班，實(shí)際上他們被禁止了。

How would this work? Are they going to have childcare workers around asteacher-aides because they're going to need them? Most kids aren't even fullytoilet-trained by 3. And even when they can control the 'functioning', theability to wipe well takes a bit longer so they're still not independent. Sorryfor dragging the conversation into the toilet :-).

這個(gè)怎么付諸現(xiàn)實(shí)？他們是否會(huì)將育兒工作者作為老師助手，因?yàn)樗麄冃枰麄?？大多?shù)孩子3歲時(shí)甚至沒有學(xué)會(huì)如何使用馬桶。即使他們可以控制拉屎“本能”，還需要更長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間學(xué)會(huì)擦屁股，所以他們?nèi)匀徊皇仟?dú)立的。對(duì)不起把話題扯到廁所上了哈哈:-)。

Looking at a bigger picture.. Mothers are expected to be back in the workforceasap. They then have to spend their wages to get someone else to look aftertheir kids. Kids then get sent off to school and after school care. Now we arebeing told kids have to be educated from 3. Parents should be the primary caregivers but hardly get the chance. The way society is structured now, it iseffectively the ?state? raising kids. Mothers or fathers that do or candedicate their lives to raise their kids are so undervalued. Fulltime parentinghas been subtly discouraged for years.

從更大的角度看......母親們應(yīng)該盡快回到勞動(dòng)力市場(chǎng)。然后，他們不得不花費(fèi)工資讓別人照顧他們的孩子。孩子們?nèi)缓蟊凰偷綄W(xué)校和學(xué)后照顧中心?，F(xiàn)在我們被告知孩子們必須接受學(xué)前教育.父母應(yīng)該是主要的護(hù)理人員，但幾乎沒有機(jī)會(huì)這么做。現(xiàn)在社會(huì)的結(jié)構(gòu)，它實(shí)際上是“國(guó)家”撫養(yǎng)孩子。那些可以獻(xiàn)身于撫養(yǎng)孩子的母親或父親被低估了。多年來，人們一直巧妙地勸阻全職育兒的出現(xiàn)。

Is it going to be free??

它會(huì)是免費(fèi)的嗎？

GenXX ->?
You know nothing's free... but it would be cheaper than professional childcare.If it's two days a week, I don't know if they can expect school uniforms.

你知道沒有什么是免費(fèi)的......但它比專業(yè)的兒童保育便宜。如果是一周兩天，我不知道他們是否會(huì)有校服。

Aged three my children were itching to go to school. But some children wouldnot be ready.

我三歲的孩子都很想去上學(xué)。但有些孩子還沒準(zhǔn)備好。

Our education system had been dumbed down and is overloaded with ideologicalrubbish, teaching children what to think instead of how to think. Unless wesolve that problem starting a year or two earlier won't make any difference.?

我們的教育體系已經(jīng)癱瘓，意識(shí)形態(tài)垃圾超負(fù)荷，我們教孩子們思考什么，而不是如何思考。除非我們?cè)谔崆耙粌赡杲鉀Q這個(gè)問題，否則不會(huì)產(chǎn)生任何不同。

Parent's need to spend more time interacting with their kids. They learn fromyou. Play with them and read to them. Works better than sending them off toschool sooner.

家長(zhǎng)需要花更多時(shí)間與孩子互動(dòng)。他們向你學(xué)習(xí)。 與他們一起玩并給他們讀書。這 比將他們提前送到學(xué)校更好。

uh no. i didnt have childrwn to send them off to ve indoctinated at three. Imall for education, but happy well adjusted kids start at home. What idiotthoight this up.

呃不。我不會(huì)把孩子送去3歲學(xué)前班。我支持孩子們接受教育，但快樂的孩子從家開始培養(yǎng)。什么白癡想到這一點(diǎn)。（評(píng)論者可能是非英語(yǔ)母語(yǔ)者，單詞一塌糊涂）
