Early Childhood Education Leadership Training in Vietnam

Childhood Education International partnered with the Ministry of Education and Training in Vietnam (DOET) to deliver a two-day intensive leadership training focused on leadership, quality improvement, and strategic education planning for early childhood educators.

Approximately 2,500 early childhood educators attended this unique event in small-group settings across the country, thanks to the incredible logistical support from the DOET team in Hanoi.

Project Goals

CE International worked with the DOET team to customize sessions, with a focus on enabling Vietnamese leaders currently overseeing public kindergartens to strengthen their leadership and strategic planning capabilities.

To build strong early childhood education programs, Vietnam has an existing national quality framework and requires early childhood leaders to prepare strategic plans for their kindergartens. This leadership training sought to extend leaders’ knowledge in these areas, respond to current challenges, and provide practical exercises to grow their strategic planning skills.

Project Structure

The training consisted of three modules: Innovations in Early Childhood Leadership, Adapting Global Guidelines for Quality Early Childhood to the Vietnamese Context, and Strategic Planning for Early Childhood School Leaders.

Participants attended the live online training sessions from 10 different locations across Vietnam. These large-group gatherings created opportunities for discussions and networking among participants.

The CE International team also pre-recorded presentation content for the sessions, prepared detailed learner workbooks, and provided each leader with the videos, slides, workbooks, and accompanying resources to ensure connectivity or other accessibility challenges did not prevent anyone from participating.
