Even though we know that the early-childhood education is very important, about percent of the investment to the early-childhood education in Korea, that is the lowest rate among OECD members, reveals the worst education condition. However, nowadays the debates about public early-childhood education at both the Congress and the Ministry of Education in Korea might make us lead a new way for the foundation of public education, I think. In this respect, this paper tries to make a few suggestions for better public early-childhood education in Korea. First, one method by government policy, which the public early-childhood education has to establish a joint education with elementary school in the 7 big cities, may get negative effects on the independence of early-childhood education or make it an earlier stage of elementary school. In the long term respect, it is necessary to have own independent kindergartens or independent kindergartens of the elementary schools even they are jointed with them. Besides, it is a good way to give financial support to the private kindergartens so that they can do the early- childhood education like public education system. Second, it is desirable not only to have smaller class size than now but also to use volunteers or parents as aided teachers because there are not clear-cut distinction between regular teachers and aided teachers in terms of qualification and there might be certain conflicts between them. The conflicts may give negative effects on the education as well. Third, as for the certificate of teachers, the different qualification between junior college graduates and 4 year college graduates can`t agree to the policy about encouragement of junior college by Ministry of Education. About 80% of the kindergarten teachers who majored in early-childhood education from 82 junior colleges and undergraduate students who are studying at early childhood education departments from 82 junior colleges, all of them don`t feel proud of their position and working value, so that the kindergarten students might have negatively emotional effects. In order to solve the problem, we should take test for the certificate of teachers under national control and give the graduates who pass the test. And they have a great opportunity to have higher re-education system and chance. Last, it is better to have one-way system between kindergarten and child-care center education than two-way systems. The two way systems may get deepened wide between them rather than they can develop the education better. However, as one way system might have demonstrations or protests from child-care center owners, it is necessary to take a lot of time to study one way policy at present.
