보육시설장이 인식한 국공립보육시설 민간위탁 운영의 실태 및 개선방안

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the consignment system for national and public daycare centers in a bid to suggest more rational and valid reform measures, as this system had a huge impact on the status of the heads of the daycare centers. It’s basically meant to fortify the function and roles of national and public daycare centers, to ensure a successful management of the facilities in response to the needs of parents and society, and ultimately to help the facilities serve as responsible and strong role models for public daycare. The subjects in this study were 590 directors of national and public daycare centers across the nation. As a result of conducting a survey, most of the heads investigated found the current consignment system not to guarantee their status. Some of the facilities were consigned without any particular principles due to a lack of consignment regulations, and sometimes that system was taken advantage of for political purpose. To remedy the situations, they believed that the upper age limit of the head of daycare center should be fixed at 65, and that the consignment term should be no longer than five years at a time. They considered it necessary to introduce open competition in the event of the first consignment, and the consignee would be recontracted in case of meeting or surpassing the standard set by the daycare center. Besides, they called for standardized consignment deliberation guidelines.
