According to the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET), preschool education is currently facing many difficulties, the most difficult of which is the shortage of teachers in many localities, and the policy to support preschool teachers is not commensurate... Therefore, to move towards universal education for children from 3 to 5 years old, it is necessary to promptly remove obstacles.
At the consultation session on the draft Resolution of the National Assembly on universalizing preschool education for preschool children that recently took place, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Thi Kim Chi said that the policy of universalizing preschool education for preschool children from 3 to 5 years old has been expressed in documents of the Party and the Government. Given the current situation, needs and demands from the reality of this level of education, the Ministry of Education and Training has advised the Government to draft a National Assembly Resolution on universalizing preschool education for preschool children from 3 to 5 years old. In the past, the Ministry of Education and Training has developed, evaluated and organized many seminars and conferences and up to now, there has been a Draft Resolution of the National Assembly on universalizing preschool education for preschool children from 3 to 5 years old.
In fact, the biggest difficulty in achieving the goal of universalization is still the situation of preschool teachers quitting their jobs. The recruitment of preschool teachers in some localities cannot meet the demand due to the high work pressure of preschool teachers, long working hours and low income.
Previously, the Ministry of Education and Training said that the projected shortage of preschool teachers by 20230 is more than 55,000 positions. The Politburo has assigned more than 13,000 positions according to Decision No. 72; the Politburo will continue to assign more than 26,000 positions in the period from 2024 to 2026. However, the number of unused positions in provinces and cities (as of August 2023) is about 28,000 positions that have not been recruited.
By 2030, the country will lack more than 39,000 classrooms and need to add thousands of sets of teaching equipment and supplies. The estimated funding requirement for additional facilities and equipment is more than 32 trillion VND, requiring an additional 6 trillion VND/year.
In the draft Resolution under development, the Ministry of Education and Training has stipulated mechanisms and policies to ensure resources to implement universal preschool education for children aged 3-5. These include policies for disadvantaged children; policies and mechanisms for the team of management staff and preschool teachers; and policies and mechanisms to invest in disadvantaged areas and socialize to develop non-public preschool education.
Recently, contributing opinions on the contents of the draft National Assembly Resolution on universalizing preschool education for preschool children from 3 to 5 years old, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Minh - former Principal of Hanoi Pedagogical University, paid attention to policies on training, fostering, and recruiting preschool teachers, especially in areas with industrial parks and export processing zones, and noted the need for specific and detailed regulations on socialization and investment in facilities for preschool education.
Mr. Vo Van Minh - Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training of Quang Tri analyzed that this is the ripe and necessary time to issue the National Assembly Resolution on universalizing preschool education for preschool children from 3 to 5 years old and to focus resources to develop the set goals. According to Mr. Minh, the rate of solidification for preschool education is the lowest among all levels of education. If we do not prioritize and allocate resources to eliminate temporary classrooms and solidify schools, we will not achieve the set goals, and the risk of unfairness in access to education may also occur...
Many delegates said that the participation and contribution of non-public preschools play an important role in the universalization of preschool education for children aged 3-5. Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Thi Kim Chi emphasized the role of decentralization and delegation of power to localities when implementing universalization of preschool education for children aged 3-5. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen propaganda work so that people of all walks of life understand the approach to universalization in order to create opportunities for children to be ready to go to school. Accordingly, the Preschool Education Subcommittee, the National Council for Education and Human Resources Development will synthesize opinions and proposals from localities to have a lot of data, advising the Ministry of Education and Training to complete the draft in the coming time.
Currently, the country has 4,556,771 children of preschool age from 3 to 5 years old being raised in 15,256 preschools and 17,444 public educational institutions. The rate of mobilizing preschool children from 3 to 5 years old is 93.6%. The rate of private preschools accounts for 20.8%.
