Education secretary Michael Gove announced the funding, part of £113.4m that the sector skills body will receive in 2011-2012 for workforce development, in his final remit letter to the CWDC. In the letter he asks for the organisation to come up with specific proposals for the redevelopment of EYPS in light of Clare Tickell's EYFS review, Graham Allen's Early Intervention review, Frank Field's child poverty review and the Government's Special Educational Needs (SEN) Green Paper.
The Department for Education is to withdraw funding from the CWDC next year and take over its key functions (News, 24 November 2010).
Mr Gove's letter highlights early years as a priority area for the Government and said that its goal is to increase the size of the workforce and improve the skills of childcare practitioners.
