AB - Today, poor management of licensed child care facilities and nursery teachers, child abuse, such as an imbalance of free child care and free early childhood education have become a social problem. In addition, legislation on child and youth has the overlapped and inconsistent definitions. The child care and the early childhood education are dual, and this dispersion of supervision has resulted in administrative inefficiencies. Qualifications of preschool teachers and child care teachers have also been dual in Korea. When the supervision over the qualifications of teachers is insufficient, there is also concern for lowering the quality of education. In addition, because of the worsening finances of local government in recent years the so-called Nuri education process has been stopped in some of the local governments. If such support is discontinued for free child care, the equality of free child (infant) care for the free early childhood education can be a problem. The integration of early childhood education and child care is being discussed in these reasons. This has to be considered in relation to the phased integration plan. First of all the criteria for kindergarten and day care facilities is standardized so that there is a need to improve the environment of the early childhood education and the infant care. The integration of education programs through the operation of the Nuri education process should be made. The issue of welfare funds presented from the operation of the free courses is a very serious obstacle. This problem is a very important issue in relation to the welfare of the state; to this social deliberative is required. One of the most difficult tasks is to integrate qualified kindergarten teachers and nursery teachers. In this case it is necessary to adjust upwards the qualifications of teachers and should supplement the provisions and procedures which also acquire such qualifications. Finally, the integration of the competent ministries on child and youth policy is necessary. Encompassing both administrative agencies may be newly established or be considered ways to integrate the child policy to the existing Ministry of Gender Equality and Family Affairs which oversee the juvenile policy.
