Data on Educators' Working Hours, Non-teaching Workload and Retention Through ECDA Job Redesign Project

Dr Charlene Chen asked the Minister for Social and Family Development (a) whether ECDA's sector-wide job redesign project will measure actual changes in educators' working hours, non-teaching workload and retention; and (b) whether the findings and resulting recommendations will be published.

The Early Childhood Development Agency has embarked on a sector-wide job redesign to enhance the overall value proposition of an early childhood career and improve educators' daily work experience.

To validate the effectiveness of the job redesign solutions, we will track actual working hours and workload, among other indicators. The findings and recommendations will be shared with key sector stakeholders to support the scale-up of the final solutions.
