Southeast Asian guidelines for early childhood teacher development and management

These guidelines for early childhood teacher development and management focus largely on the years of education immediately prior to formal primary schooling, which are more and more commonly coordinated and implemented by Ministries of Education across the region. Once endorsed by the Ministers of Education in Southeast Asia, the expectation is that these guidelines will be useful to “those engaged in devising international, national, regional, local, sectoral, workplace (private and public), and home-based ECCE policy and practice and organization of ECCE services” as with the aforementioned ILO Policy Guidelines (p. 1) — and will be of particular use in assisting Education Ministries, as well as other relevant ministries and agencies in both professionalizing early childhood teachers and promoting better working conditions for them.
