LEADERSHIP CHALLENGES OF EARLY CHILDHOOD INSTITUTIONS
Abstract: Early childhood
education is a priority of education development in Ministry of Education.
Breakthroughs are made to improve Gross Participation Number of early childhood
education is 58% this year and expected to reach 75% by 2015. Nowadays, in
society early childhood institutions are growing rapidly, but if we look closer
there will be found the gap between the growths of quantity than quality. It’s
caused by three things. First, the leadership capacity of early childhood is in
low level. Second, human resources and qualified early childhood teacher
competencies are not good enough. Third, accountability and governance of early
childhood is still low. It is recommended that the government should do these
following things: 1. Conducting periodic training of early childhood
management; 2. Managerial supervision to the management of early childhood; 3.
Facilitate the implementation of professional learning community (PLC) for
early childhood teachers; 4. Accelerate the improvement of qualification and
competence of early childhood teachers.
