PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

This is an entry-level Qualification for those who want to enter the field of Education, Training and Development, specifically within the sub-field of Early Childhood Development (ECD). Many of those who will seek this Qualification are already practising within the field, but without formal recognition. This Qualification will enable recipients of this Qualification to facilitate the all-round development of young children in a manner that is sensitive to culture and individual needs (including special needs), and enable them to provide quality early childhood development services for children in a variety of contexts, including community-based services, ECD centres, at home and in institutions. In particular, recipients of this qualification will be able to:
  • Plan and prepare for Early Childhood Development.
  • Facilitate and monitor the development of babies, toddlers and young children.
  • Provide care and support to babies, toddlers and young children.

    Practitioners will generally carry out their role under supervision and with the support of designed programmes.

    This Qualification will provide a means for formal recognition of those who are already practising in the field, but without qualifications, as well as for those who wish to enter the field. This qualification will also provide a basis for further professional development in the higher education and training band for many experienced practitioners in the field who have had limited or difficult access to further career development opportunities.

    Rationale:

    Early Childhood Development (ECD) is a priority area within the South African context and is supported by legislation, national policies and strategies. The development of babies, toddlers and young children forms the most critical foundation of further development into childhood and adulthood. There is thus a vast need for ECD services, and it is critical that the field should be served by competent practitioners. In order to meet the needs at ECD level, it is important to be able to identify and recognise competent ECD practitioners who are able to work in a variety of ECD contexts. This qualification will provide a means to give recognition to practitioners at an entry level, thus making it possible for practitioners to increase their employment prospects, and at the same time provide the field with suitably qualified practitioners.

    Integrated Assessment:

    Evidence of integration will be gained by designing and conducting assessments that ensure the unit standards are assessed in clusters linked to each exit level outcome as identified below. Assessors are to be guided by the detailed specifications indicated in each of the identified unit standards, and further guided by the integrative assessment criteria specified for each Exit Level Outcome above. As far as possible, assessment should take place within the context of an active Early Childhood Development environment, dealing with divergent and random demands related to Early Childhood Development.

    Evidence of integration may be presented by learners when being assessed against the unit standards-thus there should not necessarily be separate assessments for each unit standard and then further assessment for integration at Exit Level Outcome level. Well designed assessments, including formative and summative, should make it possible to gain evidence against each unit standard while at the same time gaining evidence of integration at Exit Level Outcome level.

    For the purposes of integration, assessment should be guided by the following relationships between each Exit Level Outcome and the Associated Unit Standards.

    Unit Standards linked to Exit Level Outcome 3: Plan and prepare for Early Childhood Development:
  • Prepare resources and set up the environment to support the development of babies, toddlers and young children.
  • Prepare Early Childhood Development programmes with support.
  • Design activities to support the development of babies, toddlers and young children.

    Unit standards linked to Exit Level Outcome 4: Facilitate and monitor the development of babies, toddlers and young children:
  • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the development of babies, toddlers and young children.
  • Facilitate the holistic development of babies, toddlers and young children.
  • Observe and report on child development.

    Unit standards linked to Exit Level Outcome 5: Provide care and support to babies, toddlers and young children:
  • Work with families and communities to support early childhood development.
  • Provide care for babies, toddlers and young children.

    Assessment should be in accordance with the following principles:
  • The initial assessment activities should focus on gathering evidence in terms of the Exit Level Outcomes and the main outcomes expressed in the titles of the Unit Standards to ensure assessment is integrated rather than fragmented. Where assessment at title level is unmanageable, then the assessment can focus on each specific outcome, or groups of specific outcomes. Take special note of the need for integrated assessment.
  • Evidence must be gathered across the entire range specified in each unit standard, as applicable. Assessment activities should be as close to the real performance as possible, and where simulations or role-plays are used, there should be supporting evidence to prove that the candidate is able to perform in the real situation.
  • All assessments should be conducted in accordance with the following universally accepted principles of assessment:
    > Use appropriate, fair and manageable methods that are integrated into real work-related or learning situations.
    > Judge evidence on the basis of its validity, currency, authenticity and sufficiency.
    > Ensure assessment processes are systematic, open and consistent.

    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    Introduction:

    The international comparability for the FETC: ECD Qualification is not only informed by finding equivalent qualifications on a national qualifications framework of other countries but also by examining how the FETC ECD benchmarks from best practice in the field. It is necessary to embark on this exercise, as Early Childhood Development (ECD) in the developing world context is still largely located within programmes for community development. This being the case, early care and education has not been fully recognised as an occupation requiring professional knowledge and skills. In what follows we present best practices from countries attempting to make difference in their future citizenry through interventions in early childhood. The choices made were informed by the titles in our Unit Standards and themes that are supportive of our Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria. In this document the young child refers to children from birth to five years.

    Kenya:

    Country context and equivalence to South Africa:

    In examining the Unicef country profile the following was deemed comparable to young's realities in the South African context. Although all of them do not deal directly with the birth to four cohort the information, amongst other things, does point to the need for early intervention through recognition of early care and education as an important space:
  • More than 10 per cent of Kenya's 15 million children are orphans; about 650,000 of them have lost parents to HIV/AIDS.
  • Access to ECD services is poor. Most children reside with families and communities and do not attend centre-based provisioning.
  • School enrolment is increasing, but approximately 1.7 million children still do not attend school, largely due to poverty, child labour and truancy by children struggling to maintain orphan-headed households.
  • Nearly a quarter of school-age children have disabilities, but only a small percentage of these children are enrolled in special education classes.
  • Delivery of medical care is poor. In many communities, patients must walk long distances to receive medical care.
  • Illnesses caused by a lack of clean drinking water or sanitation facilities are a problem for children. About 62 per cent of the population has access to improved drinking water sources, and about half the population uses adequate sanitation facilities.

    Best Practice Profile:

    One of the key ways in which Kenya is making a difference in the lives of children in the context of HIV/AIDS is through the Kenyan Orphans Rural Development Programme (KORDP). Two key practices are considered as exemplary within the programme. The community-based approach and psychosocial support underpins the practices with vulnerable children from 2 to 6 years.

    The first way in which KORDP works is through the community to establish an ECD centre. Seven committees are established-food security, income generating activities, education, shelter, health and HIV/AIDS, psychosocial support and evaluations/documentations. Each committee has seven members-involving a significant chunk of the community.

    A community development motivator is trained in providing psychosocial support for ECD committees. Members of these committees are enabled to find the most effective ways of dealing with young children infected, affected and orphaned by HIV/Aids. The aim is get the trainees to carry the message that young children need not only food but also a loving touch and a listening ear. They are encouraged to ask questions such as:
  • How can we create safe and supportive space for children to express themselves?.
  • How do children with HIV/AIDS feel when they are socially shunned?.

    At the Early Childhood Development centres as many as two-thirds of the children have lost at least one parent. Each centre has a trained caregiver. The training includes building competence in early literacy, early numeracy, and basic lessons on health and hygiene. The caregiver also has the responsibility of making referrals to a community nurse who is responsible for treating minor aliments affecting the children and their parents.

    Links to the FETC: ECD Qualification:

    All of the Unit Standards in the FETC: ECD Qualification contribute to building competence that are outlined as best practice above. The following unit standards haves special reference to community development and psychosocial support:
  • Working with families and communities to support Early Childhood Development.
  • Providing care for young children (including the unit standard on HIV/AIDS).
  • Children with special needs form an integral part of the FETC: ECD Qualification.

    India:

    Country context and equivalence to South Africa:
  • India, like South Africa is a pluralistic society. Differences exist in class, gender, geography and caste.
  • With regard to early childhood the Indian government shows political will to eliminate some of the inequalities in Indian society by reducing poverty, increasing public spending on early childhood care and education, speeding the delivery of health services and improving nutrition and food security.
  • Malnutrition affects nearly half of all children under age five.
  • Anaemia affects the vast majority of pregnant women and teenage girls, stunts children's growth and is a leading cause of maternal death and babies with low birth weight.
  • Estimates of the number of people in India living with HIV/AIDS range from 2.2 million to 7.6 million.
  • Diarrhoea, often caused by unsafe drinking water or poor sanitation, is the second leading cause of death among children. Access to clean drinking water has improved in recent years, but 122 million households lack toilets. School enrolment is increasing, but retention and completion rates remain low in part because of the poor quality of the education system, which emphasises memorisation over problem solving.
  • Women face many forms of gender discrimination. A national preference for male children has led to an increasing gap in gender ratios of children under age six, a trend that may be attributed to female foeticide.
  • Despite a national campaign by the government, birth registration rates are low, especially in the poorest regions.

    Best Practice Profile:

    In order to meet the challenges of the holistic needs of the child, India launched the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) in the seventies and continues to operate through this service to date. Recognising that early childhood development constitutes the foundation of human development, ICDS is designed to promote holistic development of children under six years, through the strengthened capacity of families and communities. The programme is specifically designed to reach disadvantaged and low-income groups, for effective disparity reduction.

    The programme provides an integrated approach for converging basic services for improved childcare, early stimulation and learning, health and nutrition, water and environmental sanitation - targeting young children and their parents. These target groups are reached through nearly 300,000 trained community-based Anganwadi workers and an equal number of helpers, supportive community structures/women groups - through the Anganwadi centre (childcare centres), the health system and the community.

    Link with the FETC: ECD Qualification:
  • In the FETC: ECD Qualification the unit standards are designed to develop competence for an integrated approach to early care and education. The key areas of early stimulation, health, safety and nutrition, family and community involvement are embedded within specific Unit Standards.
  • The Qualification is aimed at a wide range of people who facilitate early childhood development.
  • The foundational skills development of an apprenticed/supervised Early Childhood Development practitioner creates good starting points for the professional development of an early childhood teacher who works in an integrated service delivery context.
  • The FETC: ECD Qualification adopts an anti-bias approach.

    Brazil:

    Country context and equivalence to South Africa:

    The following aspects of the Brazilian context show similarity to the realities that challenge early care and education in South Africa:
  • In Brazil, 54 million people live below the poverty line. Although the child mortality rate has fallen it remains disproportional to national production capacity and available technology.
  • Maternal mortality continues to be a problem, although its magnitude is unclear due to a lack of consistent data.
  • The fight against HIV/AIDS continues to shape the realities of young children from birth to eight years.
  • Child survival, development, participation and protection remain challenges.
  • There are many low-income adolescents (teen mothers) with incomplete basic education.
  • The Early Childhood Development programmes are used as vehicles to increase family capacity to participate and strengthen high-quality early stimulation.

    Best Practice Profile:

    The Popular Centre for Culture and Development, an Non Government Organisation based in the south east of Brazil, intervenes in early childhood through combining education with community development in virtual way. The Sementinha project has the following practices that are regarded as exemplary:
  • In the absence of a building called a preschool, education takes place at itinerant venues. Teachers and children meet in church halls, rooms of district association, children's homes and open spaces in the community.
  • Education draws inspirations from the community's culture, knowledge and practices. Children's classroom is the community.
  • Teachers are trained to educate without a school. In particular, they are enabled to be instigators of change, creators of opportunities, formers of citizenship and promoters of generosity.
  • Child participation is encouraged through teachers and children co-constructing meaning using the principles of Paulo Freire - action, reflection, action. Citizenship is promoted as children move through several of spaces in the community.
  • Encourages child, teacher, family and community partnerships.

    Links with the FETC: ECD Qualification:
  • In the Unit Standard Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the development of young children and Working with families and communities to support child development we include the importance of understanding the socio cultural context in which children live their lives.
  • Within the Unit Standard Plan and Prepare Early Childhood Development supervision and the unit standards on facilitation and assessment we give impetus to reflective practice.
  • The Unit Standard on Facilitation of holistic development emphasises an approach that encourages child participation.
  • The FETC: ECD Qualification is aimed at a wide range of Early Childhood Development practitioners. We believe that their engagement with the different unit standards would enable them to take the role of creators of opportunities for young children and their families. This may well mean creating virtual classrooms.

    Honduras:

    Country context and equivalence to South Africa:

    Within Honduras the following realities show similarities to South Africa with regard to the challenges in early care and education:
  • Sixty-eight per cent of Honduran families are poor, mainly in rural and peri-urban areas. There are significantly more poor families in rural areas (75 per cent) than in urban areas (57 per cent).
  • There are many instances of unemployment and child labour.
  • There is a significant under five mortality rate.
  • Poverty and HIV/AIDS are serious challenges to full implementation of the principles in the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
  • Gender inequality exist.

    Best Practice Profile:

    The Early Stimulation Programme is part of a larger programme implemented by the Christian Children's Fund. The programme focuses on children from birth to six years and their families. Exemplary practices include the following:
  • A holistic approach to young children's development.
  • Attention is drawn to both home-based and centre-based activities.
  • The home-visitor model enables women from communities to be trained as "mother guides". These guides enable parents to work around the gross and fine motor skills, cognitive skills, language, socio-affective skills, health, hygiene and personal safety. Preschool caregivers work in centre provisioning around these areas. Children have access to quality interventions either in the family context, a centre or both.

    Links with the FETC: ECD Qualification:
  • The approach to young children in the Early Stimulation Programme relates directly to the type of knowledge base we expect our Early Childhood Development practitioners to engage with in the unit standard Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of development of young children.
  • The unit standards Plan and prepare Early Childhood Development programmes under supervision, Facilitate the holistic development of young children and Observe and report on child development shape competence in facilitating early stimulation through knowledge of the whole child.
  • Since an integrated approach informs the unit standards it creates possibilities for developing competence in working in partnerships with experienced teachers, families and communities.
  • Although the qualification is aimed at an apprenticed supervised worker, we are aware that in the South African realities it might well be that the practitioner may work independently. This is most likely as a home visitor working directly with families on early stimulation.

    United Kingdom:

    The FETC: ECD Qualification was compared with the Early Years Care and Education Level 2 NCVQ/SCVQ (National Council for Vocational Qualifications/ Scottish Council for Vocational Qualifications) in the United Kingdom for the following reasons:
  • It is directly comparable for level and is an outcome based qualification, requiring candidates to produce evidence of competent performance in the workplace based on knowledge, understanding and values and has a strong.
  • The structure of the qualification includes mandatory and optional units similar to the FETC: ECD Qualification Core and Electives.
  • The Level 2 is aimed at people working under the supervision of others e.g. assistants in nurseries or schools or playgroups, crèches, mothers' helps which is the same level of responsibility at which FETC: ECD Qualification is aimed.
  • There is high compatibility between the principles underpinning the two qualifications:
    > Welfare of the child.
    > Keeping children safe.
    > Working in partnership with parents/families.
    > Children's learning and development (holistic, play-based, observation of children).
    > Equality of opportunity (access, avoidance of stereotyping, inclusion).
    > Anti-discrimination.
    > Celebrating diversity.
    > Confidentiality.
    > Working with other professionals.
    > The reflective practitioner.

    Similarities and Differences:
  • FETC: ECD Qualification Unit Standard Title Core.
  • Early Years Care And Education Level 2 Mandatory Units.
    > Comments.
  • Prepare resources and set up the environment to support the development of young children.
  • Maintain an attractive, stimulating and reassuring environment for children (Physical environment, Prepare and maintain displays, Reassuring environment).
    > Similar to outcome of Set up the learning environment but less focus on resourcing and none on identifying activities.
    > Provision of equipment and materials and activities is an aspect of both Implement planned activities for sensory and intellectual development and Implement planned activities for the development of language and communication skills.
  • Prepare Early Childhood Development programmes under supervision.
  • No equivalence.
    > There is no specific requirement for analysis in the NQVC: Which is important even in the FETC Level 3 Plan and Prepare programmes. My impression is that the role of assistant in the NQVC context is somewhat different from what we mean by under supervision. It is likely that these workers are assisting in the same classroom as a more qualified teacher.
    > This supports the Level 5 for this standard.
  • Design activities to support the development of young children.
  • No equivalent at Level 2 or Level 3 though there is provision of activities to be selected within a plan for Implement planned activities for sensory and intellectual development.
  • There is no specific requirement for analysis in the NQVC- which is important even in the FETC Level 3 Plan and Prepare programmes. My impression is that the role of assistant in the NQVC context is somewhat different from what we mean by under supervision. It is likely that these workers are assisting in the same classroom as a more qualified teacher.
    > This supports the Level 5 for this standard.
  • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the development of young children.
  • Underpinning knowledge specified in most the NQVC units includes an understanding of child development of different kinds e.g. attachment, social skills development, sensory and motor development but this appears to be presented as uncontested fact rather than theorised.
  • Facilitate the holistic development of babies, toddlers and young children.
  • Support children's physical development needs (help children to toilet and wash hands, help children when eating and drinking, support opportunities for children's exercise, support children's quiet periods).
  • Support children's social and emotional development (help children adjust to new settings, help children relate to others, help children to develop self-reliance and self-esteem, help children to recognise and deal with feelings, assist children to develop positive aspects of their behaviour).
  • Implement planned activities for sensory and intellectual development (provide activities, equipment and materials for creative play; play games with children; assist children with cooking activities; provide opportunities for manipulative play; examine objects of interest with children).
  • Implement planned activities for the development of language and communication skills (implement music lessons, implement and participate in talking and listening activities, select and use equipment and materials to stimulate role play, select and display books, relate stories and rhymes).
  • Has an interactive focus but activities are planned by supervisor.
    > Relate to several aspects of facilitation but are more focused to particular areas of development and/or types of activities such as we had in the range statement.

    The Early Years Care and Education Level 2 qualification covers many of the same elements as the proposed FETC ECD-a strong focus on health and safety, and on interactions with children which respect their developmental level and support their development. While both qualifications are designed for a worker in an assistant role, the assistant in the UK context is clearly working within a much more structured situation with more direction and a selection of activities. The role includes many prescribed care routines.

    The FETC: ECD Qualification requires more initiative and independence from the Early Childhood Development practitioner in terms of designing activities, observing and assessing children, planning and preparing the environment. In the South African context, our practitioners are working in a less supported environment and need to be able to undertake these tasks.

    Competence for a wider age range is required in FETC: ECD Qualification (note that the baby standards are options in the Early Years qualification). This was justified by numbers of younger children coming into child care as five year olds move into the formal schooling system.

    Conclusion:

    All our Unit Standards for the FETC: Early Childhood Development Level 4 have strands that are considered to be best practice in a developing world context. The issues facing early care and education in the countries selected create certain dimensions to building foundational competence at an entry point into training. These dimensions are deemed important as we make strides in professionalising early childhood development.
