Development of Early Childhood Education:Measures,Problems and Implications

Indian government took many measures to provide necessary early childhood education, including working out legislation to define the government's role in providing early childhood education, exploiting NGO and private sectors, putting priority on protecting disadvantaged children's rights and administering child budgeting.Although the early childhood education in India has made great achievements, the problems still exist such as that the early childhood education resources are inadequate and the implementation of policies is weak. Drawing the lessons from India, the China government should set a rational goal for developing early childhood education and mobilize various mechanisms to increase funding for early childhood education, further promote equity of early childhood education and improve the implementation of policies.
