HC Deb 19 December 2002 vol 396 c70WS

£52/63/76 million. We want to develop a workforce of highly competent childcare workers, and for all sectors to benefit from staff trained in Foundation Stage curriculum and potentially progression to Qualified Teacher Status. These funds will support workers in achieving level 2 and 3 qualifications through childcare workforce training (0/14/27 million), provide local authorities with funds to support training in Foundation Stage curriculum and practice, for practitioners in maintained, private and voluntary sectors (£36/37/37 million) and support the newly launched progression route to a higher level qualification and then to Qualified Teacher Status (£9/12/12 million).
