Abstract

The study aims at exploring the pre-school educational planning in Sudan, its current status, objectives and the principles on which it is based. It also takes into account the aims of the pre-school educational strategy, its instruments, methods of planning as well as identifying the means of follow-up, implementation and evaluation of the preschool educational planning. Teacher training programmers planning, problems and challenges facing the preschool educational institutions with reference to globalization also represent some of the areas of concern. In order to achieve the aims of the study, the researcher has followed the descriptive method using the questionnaire as a major tool to which experts and those who are concerned from the pre-school educational planning domain have responded. In statistical analysis, the researcher has used the Pearson's split-half reliability coefficient, Spearman-Brown reliability coefficient, the mean, percentage and the T-test. The study has achieved the following results: 1. Pre-school educational planning considerably focuses on objectives such as enhancing the positive tendency towards the religious teachings and the developments of relevance towards the family, patriotism and religion; whereas, objectives such as developing the sense of responsibility and the provision with the appropriate health information are not satisfactorily accentuated. 2. The coordination between the administration of the pre-school education authorities and private education is not satisfactory. 3. The pre-school educational planning is well established in some aspects; whereas, some aspects are not well covered. 4. The pre-school educational planning faces tremendous challenges which are reflected in the children's and specialized teachers’ abstinence from joining kindergartens of the most significant recommendations are the following: 1. Pre-school education planning should receive care and reconsideration in order to conform to the challenges of cultural globalization 2. Considerable preparation should be made to confront the challenges by persuading the community to encourage the children to join the kindergartens 3. Substantial care should be given to pre-school education infra-structure e.g. the buildings and games
