As early as 1996, the South African democratic government realised that ECE was multi-faceted. What is your understanding of ECE as a multifaceted phase of children’s development?

I agree with the statement that changing the curricula or policies does not automatically equal transformation. Transformation is a complex and ongoing process that requires more than just changing the documents or guidelines. It also requires:
- Changing the mindsets and practices of teachers, learners, parents and other stakeholders to embrace diversity, equity and social justice.
- Changing the structures and systems of education to address the historical legacies of inequality, discrimination and oppression.
- Changing the resources and support available to schools to ensure quality and access for all learners.
