ACT is promising a huge shake-up to the education system.
Its new education policy would crack down on ECE providers that don't teach children the basics.
The B4 School Check would be extended to include education progress.
Under ACT, the checks will make sure kids can read their name, know the alphabet, hold a pencil, pick up a book, and communicate thoughts and ideas.
