What the petition asks
EYITT's have to meet the same entry requirements and the same set of rigorous standards as their counterparts who achieve QTS.
Without QTS, EYT's have found that they do not receive equal stature, pay or recognition for the demanding work that they carry out and their dedication, passion and commitment towards the teaching profession and children and families aged 0-5.
