"Five-year-old child development standard set" with 28 standards and 120 indicators, after 10 years of implementation, the Ministry of Education and Training proposed to adjust or issue a new one to meet the current development requirements of children.
The five-year-old child development standard was issued on July 22, 2010. After 10 years of implementation, according to the report of the Department of Preschool Education, the Ministry of Education and Training, the Standards Department plays an important role for the development of five-year-old children in defining goals, building plans, and selecting Content care, education and development assessment of five year olds. The standards are also the basis for developing programs and materials to propagate and guide parents and communities in the care and education of five-year-old children.
However, besides the advantages, the Department of Preschool Education said that in the content and form of the Standard, there are also some shortcomings.

The study also shows that using the Standards to support the implementation of the Preschool Education Program is not completely appropriate, such as taking 120 indicators in the Standard as an educational goal and organizing training for each indicator. The standard is to evaluate the child.
The research team recommends that the Standard should periodically adjust or build a new one to suit the development of children throughout the territory, as well as a basis for adjusting the preschool program. In particular, it is necessary to build a set of child development standards that are linked to all ages and have a connection with the entry requirements of grade 1 students. Structure and quantity of standards and indicators need consider appropriately, reflect and include the comprehensive development of the child.
