Abstract

The introduction of the Draft Law of the People's Republic of China on Pre-school Education is of great significance and has many highlights. However, there are regulatory problems such as insufficient protection of the rights and interests of infants and young children aged 0-3, controversial de-primarization of preschool curricula, and the need to improve the treatment and status of early childhood teachers and their teaching qualifications. In order to improve and implement the Act, the following recommendations are made: accelerate legislation on childcare services to safeguard the rights of infants and toddlers aged 0-3 years; promote two-way convergence between primary and secondary schools to create a harmonious childcare environment; and enhance the mechanism for accessing teachers and raise the standard of their remuneration, in order to promote the high-quality development of pre-school education.
