ECE Participation Rates

The latest data on early childhood education rates came out this week. The non-participation rate continues to fall:

• All children 3.9%, down 2.5% from 2008
• Maori children 6.2%%, down 4.2% from 2008
• Pasifika children 9.0%, down 5.9% from 2008
• Decile 1 children 11.2%, down 8.6% from 2010

So the fall in non-participation rates has been significant.
