澳大利亚联邦教育部近日公布了一份包含29家未达标幼托机构的名单。
据News报导，这些机构因长期未能满足国家质量与安全标准而面临政府资金削减的风险。这是自联邦议会通过相关立法以来，政府首次对不合格幼托机构采取公开警告措施。
这些被点名的机构中包括幼托中心、家庭日托服务机构以及课外看护中心，其中有11家位于西澳大利亚州（Western Australia）。教育部要求这些机构在本周前将合规整改通知告知家长，并给予6个月的改进期。
国家质量标准（National Quality Standards，简称NQS）是针对澳大利亚所有幼托机构、家庭日托设施、课外看护服务、学前班和幼儿园的强制性标准，涵盖儿童健康、安全与教育等多个方面。被点名的机构均存在至少7年未能达标的记录。
值得注意的是，名单中有5家机构虽然在上次检查时未达标，但现已变更经营者。澳大利亚广播公司（ABC）采访到的其中一位经营者表示，他们对被公开点名感到担忧，并指出自接管中心以来尚未接受过审计，认为这一评定存在不合理之处。
教育部在其官网上对此作出说明：“当前经批准的运营方在获得现有NQS评级时并未管理该机构，但已采取措施确保提供高质量服务。若机构在限令发布后12个月内获得新的NQS评级，运营方须在收到通知后5个工作日内向本部报备。“
据了解，部分幼托机构甚至已有5年未接受标准检查。目前已有29家机构收到警告，预计后续还将有更多机构被列入名单。
从地区分布来看，昆州有5家机构被警告；新州有2家家庭日托中心被警告，另有4家幼托中心接到合规整改通知，还有一家为学龄儿童提供课后看护的机构，也被要求提升标准。
西澳大利亚州成为此次整改的重灾区，共有11家机构被警告，其中4家为学龄儿童提供课前课后看护的机构需改进标准，另有7家家庭及中心式幼托机构被给予6个月整改期。
NQS评级体系从教育课程管理、儿童健康与安全、游乐区域设置、人员配置、儿童关系维护、家庭合作机制以及管理领导能力等7个维度对机构进行综合评估。
教育部长贾森·克莱尔（Jason Clare）表示：“这些中心必须提升服务水平，否则将面临进一步后果。“根据规定，政府可采取削减资金、附加儿童保育补贴（Child Care Subsidy，简称CCS）批准条件、暂停或取消批准等处罚措施。CCS资质对幼托机构的运营至关重要。
幼儿教育部长杰斯·沃尔什（Jess Walsh）强调，虽然绝大多数教育工作者都能遵守规范，但此次合规通知具有重要的警示作用。今天的举措向所有早期儿童教育与护理服务提供者发出明确信号：国家质量标准不是可选项，所有服务机构都必须达到标准要求。
目前公布的名单中尚未出现大型营利性幼托企业。业内人士表示，这一举措标志着澳大利亚政府对幼托行业监管的加强，预计将推动整个行业服务质量的提升。各被点名机构正在制定整改方案，以期在限期内达到国家标准。
