Childcare and education students are being challenged by Nursery World

Wednesday, April 3, 2002

Childcare and education students are being challenged by Nursery World to transport themselves into the future for the magazine's student essay competition, inspired by this year's Golden Jubilee celebrations. Writing on the theme of 'Childcare in 2052', students are invited to predict how the early years profession might have changed in 50 years' time. You could give your dream vision of childcare, foresee what a typical day would be like for a child or practitioner, or just let your imagination go wild. The winning 800-word essay will be published in Nursery World. There is also a first prize of 1,000 with two runner-up prizes of 500 and 250. The winning student's college will also receive 100 worth of book vouchers. If you would like to take part and are currently studying for a recognised childcare or early years qualification, look out for the entry form in next week's issue of Nursery World.
