A Study of Policies for Kindergarten Education Linking to Primary Education in Guizhou Province

Education policy can help everyone have equal educational opportunities and choices and unify clear educational goals and ways to achieve them for educational development. This study explores the policy of linking kindergarten education with primary education in Guizhou Province. Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, was selected as the research object, and semi-structured interviews, questionnaire surveys, and literature analysis methods were used for the study. The study aims to understand the current situation and practices of policies, parent's views on the link between policy and implementation of Chinese kindergarten education and primary education, and how to solve the policy's challenges. In the study, it was found that there is a primary school phenomenon in learning. Regarding daily routines and self-care abilities, it was found that parents overly dote on their children or do not attach importance to their children's links and development. Through correlation analysis and regression analysis, it was found that parents with higher educational levels are more likely to choose both public and private schools to recruit such enrollment methods. Subsequently, from the perspectives of policies, parents provide relevant suggestions from four aspects: parent- school relationship, school-stakeholders connection, social atmosphere, and supervision.
