Hi
I am currently doing CHCLEG001 Working with Legislation and Standards.
One of the questions asks me to apply the minimum educator to child ratios for each age group that will come into force across Australia in 2016 and calculate how many educators are required for each age group.
In addition to this question it also asks you to state what the ratio was in 2015. I got most of the answers correct except one. I needed to state how many educators required to care for 15 children aged 25 months to 35 months. I have looked at the ratios for 2015 and for this age group it differed between the states. In some states it would be 3 for caring for 15 children and in some states it would 2 caring for 15 children. Qld where I am studying had 2 different ratios setup. So anyway I stated 3 educators as I was basing this on most of the states and also one of the Qld ratios. I got that answer wrong, it should be 2 eduators to care for 15 children aged 25 mths to 35 mths, why is this so?
Any explanation would be great as I am still waiting for my trainer to get back to me about it. Personally I don't think the question is written very well.
Thanks
