Abstract

The development of preschool management staff plays a decisive role in ensuring the quality of childcare and education as well as school operation effectiveness. This study evaluated the current situation of management staff development in three preschools located in Phu Cuong Commune, Dong Thap Province (namely Phu Cuong Preschool, Hoa Binh Preschool, Hoa Sen Preschool), based on the requirements of the Standards for Principals of Preschool Educational Institutions. A sociological survey with a five-point Likert scale was conducted, combined with in-depth interviews with 07 managers and 39 teachers. The survey focused on five key aspects: (1) Planning and developing the management staff pipeline; (2) Selection, appointment, dismissal, and rotation of management personnel; (3) Training and professional development to enhance management competencies; (4) Supervision and evaluation of management staff; (5) Working conditions and policies for management personnel. Findings indicate that staff development practices generally reached a fairly good level, particularly regarding professional development efforts and the sense of responsibility demonstrated by school managers. However, limitations remain in proactive succession planning, systematic rotation and appointment processes, and the adequacy of supportive policies. Thereby, solutions are proposed to develop preschool management staff in a standardized, sustainable manner aligned with the educational reform requirements of the locality.
