Abstract:
Study on 450 children at the age from 3-5 years old, 50% children go to kindergarten and 50% don’t. 40 kindergarten level staffs, 6 staffs in charge of population-family and children, 22 village level staffs, 9 village level leaders belong to the Mekong Delta. The result showed that: there was a clearly different awareness on the children‘s right as well as the importance of going to school of the parents between the parents of children who go to kindergartent and the other ones. The school issue in the Mekong Delta is imperative: lack of kindergarten: 78.7%; lack of classroom seriously: 78.4%. Lack of schools and classrooms was an important reason that children couldn’t go to school. The rate of teacher for kindergarten on over the region is high: 84.8%. The basic facilities were poor: 21.8%. It is necessary to propagandize to the family who have children in the school age. Reinforcing school, classroom and education facilities and improving teachers’ qualification and management officers should be done.
