Abstract |
: |
It is not possible to discuss the status of Saudi preschool teachers independent of the context in which they exist, because the position of preschool teachers vary across political, educational, economic, and cultural circumstances. Therefore, this paper describes these contexts as they not only shape the status of preschool teachers but also have created controversial and challenging concerns in Saudi Arabia. Preschool education in KSA has a more recent history than that of public education. It is non-formal and includes day-care centers, nurseries, and preschool centers. The children act (2005) stresses the importance of improving training, progression and career structure, and recognizing the complexity of working with preschool children. However, it has been a concern that different training backgrounds have produced teachers with widely varying awareness of their role, children’s needs, and the objectives of the centers in which they work. This is promoted by personal beliefs and values which influence their practice and arise many controversial and challenging concerns. |
