SUMMARY
Pardon our Hokkien: early childhood education is often colloquially (and crudely!) characterised as “shit work” because of diaper changes, low salary and lack of respect; it isn’t “real” teaching. We therefore set out to reposition early childhood educators from nannies who change diapers, to teachers who change lives. With Shape Our Tomorrow, the sector’s first ever campaign, we shifted perception (at least 16-point lift in being seen as meaningful, challenging and rewarding), made the sector more attractive (70%), and drove a 46% surge in potential applications.
