Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made from the Childcare and early years providers survey of 2016 referred to in the Early Years Workforce Strategy of March 2017 of the proportion of early years educators who have neither English nor mathematics GCSE at A* to C and do not have a level 3 qualification.
The proportion of early educators who have a qualification at level 2 or lower and also have GCSE mathematics and English (or equivalents) is shown in Table 11 of the Childcare and Early Years Providers Survey 2016, which is available at:
