There has been political disagreement over a plan to increase pre-school education for many children in Northern Ireland.

Education Minister Michelle McIlveen has announced proposals for all three and four-year-olds to get a minimum of 22.5 hours in pre-school each week.

About 60% of children in Northern Ireland currently get 12.5 hours of funded pre-school education a week.

The SDLP's Daniel McCrossan has said that the plans do not go far enough.

He said families should be offered 30 hours of free childcare a week instead.
