When the ECCE programme was introduced for the first time, the programme ran for 38 weeks. It was presented as a full-year programme that coincided with the school year. Is it the case that the ECCE expansion programme runs, technically speaking, for 23 weeks but that it can run for 33 or 38 weeks if the provider can facilitate it?
