1. According to information retrieved from Commonwealth of Australia (2009) the basic
difference between Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and Framework for School
Aged Care (FFSAC) is that the educators under FFSAC engages the children in
experiences, conversations and routines that promote safety, healthy lifestyle and
nutrition (FFSAC, pg 32); whereas EYLF challenge and support children to engage in
and persevere at tasks and play (EYLF, pg 34). The main and customary difference
between EYLF and FFSAC is that EYLF is framed for children from birth to five years
of age (EYLF, pg 5), whereas, FFSAC is framed for the school going children who are
assumed to be above five years (FFSAC, pg 5). The FFSAC framework is designed in the
way that it provides the children, through play and recreational activities, to confidently
take up responsibility of their own learning, personal regulation, leadership development
and contribution to social environment(FFSAC, pg 33), whereas, the EYLF framework is
designed in the way that it provides the children confidence to explore new ideas through
academics, making them competent and involved learners with family and community
under the standards of early childhood settings(EYLF, pg 36).
2. the Article 29 of Convention on the Rights of the Child under United Nations Human
Rights states:
States Parties agree that the education of the child shall be directed to:
(a) The development of the child's personality, talents and mental and physical abilities to their
fullest potential;
