THE MANAGEMENT OF CHILDCARE AND EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AT PRESCHOOLS IN HO CHI MINH CITY
Main Article Content
Abstract
The paper presents the findings of a project studying the status of managing childcare and early childhood education at preschools in Ho Chi Minh City from the perspective of administrators, teachers, and nannies. The investigated aspects cover the achievement of educational management objectives, planning, conducting the plan, directing, and checking and evaluating the results. The study also surveyed the status of managing the professional development of preschool teachers and facilities at preschools. It was found that the system was not yet synchronized and effective. It was suggested that preschools in Ho Chi Minh are required to take action on reported weaknesses.
