Mr Guigliano said the system was "designed to build a workforce" but did not reflect the challenges of the digital age.The proposal would see a kindergarten stage for three to six-year-olds, which would amount to increasing early years education by 12 months.Mr Guigliano said it would be "fully funded" and children would not lose a year of schooling.
"And if you listen to early years experts, parents, teachers they are very clear that no four or five-year-old should be subjected to the pressures of the formal school system." He said: "When your education standards are slipping you don't double down on reading and writing in the early years.The proposal does not include a timeframe as Mr Guigliano said there would have to be investment in staff and training.Larry Flanagan, general secretary of the Educational Institute of Scotland , told The Sunday Show he believed in a play-based approach to early years learning.
