澳大利亞聯邦教育部近日公布了一份包含29家未達標幼托機構的名單。
據News報導，這些機構因長期未能滿足國家質量與安全標準而面臨政府資金削減的風險。這是自聯邦議會通過相關立法以來，政府首次對不合格幼托機構採取公開警告措施。
這些被點名的機構中包括幼托中心、家庭日托服務機構以及課外看護中心，其中有11家位於西澳大利亞州（Western Australia）。教育部要求這些機構在本周前將合規整改通知告知家長，並給予6個月的改進期。
國家質量標準（National Quality Standards，簡稱NQS）是針對澳大利亞所有幼托機構、家庭日托設施、課外看護服務、學前班和幼兒園的強制性標準，涵蓋兒童健康、安全與教育等多個方面。被點名的機構均存在至少7年未能達標的記錄。
值得注意的是，名單中有5家機構雖然在上次檢查時未達標，但現已變更經營者。澳大利亞廣播公司（ABC）採訪到的其中一位經營者表示，他們對被公開點名感到擔憂，並指出自接管中心以來尚未接受過審計，認為這一評定存在不合理之處。
教育部在其官網上對此作出說明：“當前經批准的運營方在獲得現有NQS評級時並未管理該機構，但已採取措施確保提供高質量服務。若機構在限令發布後12個月內獲得新的NQS評級，運營方須在收到通知後5個工作日內向本部報備。“
據了解，部分幼托機構甚至已有5年未接受標準檢查。目前已有29家機構收到警告，預計後續還將有更多機構被列入名單。
從地區分布來看，昆州有5家機構被警告；新州有2家家庭日托中心被警告，另有4家幼托中心接到合規整改通知，還有一家為學齡兒童提供課後看護的機構，也被要求提升標準。
西澳大利亞州成為此次整改的重災區，共有11家機構被警告，其中4家為學齡兒童提供課前課後看護的機構需改進標準，另有7家家庭及中心式幼托機構被給予6個月整改期。
NQS評級體系從教育課程管理、兒童健康與安全、遊樂區域設置、人員配置、兒童關係維護、家庭合作機制以及管理領導能力等7個維度對機構進行綜合評估。
教育部長賈森·克萊爾（Jason Clare）表示：“這些中心必須提升服務水平，否則將面臨進一步後果。“根據規定，政府可採取削減資金、附加兒童保育補貼（Child Care Subsidy，簡稱CCS）批准條件、暫停或取消批准等處罰措施。CCS資質對幼托機構的運營至關重要。
幼兒教育部長傑斯·沃爾什（Jess Walsh）強調，雖然絕大多數教育工作者都能遵守規範，但此次合規通知具有重要的警示作用。今天的舉措向所有早期兒童教育與護理服務提供者發出明確信號：國家質量標準不是可選項，所有服務機構都必須達到標準要求。
目前公布的名單中尚未出現大型營利性幼托企業。業內人士表示，這一舉措標誌著澳大利亞政府對幼托行業監管的加強，預計將推動整個行業服務質量的提升。各被點名機構正在制定整改方案，以期在限期內達到國家標準。
