The plan has specified the standards in building a national standard kindergarten. However, the content of expressing the long-term vision in the plan and the content of mobilizing forces inside and outside the school to participate in building the plan are still weak and have not been evaluated and given due attention. Therefore, when building the plan, these are also the contents that need to be focused on and implemented in the process of building and implementing the plan to build a national standard kindergarten in Dak Glong district in the coming time.
