A major report into childcare and early education is due later this year. Businesswoman Sam Mostyn says it is as important to the economy as public education.

Mostyn said reform of childcare and early education promised the same sort of huge economic changes as public schooling – which most economists cite as one of the most important developments in global productivity – and universal healthcare.“We have to see this model in terms of public schooling and Medicare and superannuation as that important to the economy,” she said.
