유보통합의 단계적 추진 모니터링 및 성과 제고 방안(Ⅱ)

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to focus on listening to and collecting opinions from various field stakeholders on the degree of implementation of the implementation tasks planned by the government in 2024. Specifically, how the current government's ECEC integration policy is evaluated at the front-line sites (childcare centers, kindergartens, etc.). The main research method is interview survey. Interviews were conducted with the heads of kindergartens and childcare centers, teachers, parents, and field officials(hereinafter referred to as policy consumers). Ten years before us, we visited five types of nurseries (ECEC integrated institutions) in Taiwan that integrated with the Ministry of Education system to find out the changes, operations, and use status before and after the ECEC integration. In addition, we met with local government officials and collected stories and data on the process of ECEC integration at that time. In Taiwan, public officials in charge of kindergartens and day-care centers met regularly at the local government level to discuss understanding each other's work and coordinating for integration, and took a method of reporting the results of the meeting to the Ministry of Education. As a result, the establishment certificate of an integrated institution was derived from the different establishment certificates of kindergartens and day-care centers. In other words, the standards for an integrated institution were established, and this process took about 3 years(2009-2011). More than any previous government, the current government is enthusiastically promoting ECEC integration, but most policy consumers who participated in the interview showed little experience of the integration policy. Regarding the field-applied policy ((tentative name) of Early Childhood school pilot project), which is highly felt, the government's lack of communication was mentioned as the biggest problem, such as the government conducting it too hastily without time to prepare on the spot. For practical ECEC integration, organizations, budgets, and laws should be supported, and to this end, the government's plan to achieve this year is to unify the education-oriented management system, promote financial transfer and integration, and promote the collective enactment and revision of related laws. Local governments (provincial offices of education) have expressed concerns about the government's proposal of related laws and regulations, and have not been able to reach an agreement between the central and local governments. In this study, as a way to improve the performance of reservation integration, 1) establishing a bottom-up communication system to focus on issues 2) operating a discussion body in major sectors such as organizations, budgets, and laws to improve the efficiency of the unification of the regional management system 3) adjusting detailed tasks of the reservation integration pilot project ((tentative name) infant and toddler school pilot project 4) guaranteeing parental choice by strengthening and diversifying the publicity of the integrated institution.
