With the economic prosperity, the family size in Southeast Asia is gradually shrinking, and some even choose not to have children, resulting in a sharp decline in the baby population. This change directly affects the needs of early childhood education, making high-quality resources scarce.

Imbalance of educational resources

Uneven distribution of educational resources is a common problem in Southeast Asia. Urban and developed areas are rich in preschool education resources, while rural and underdeveloped areas are facing the dilemma of lack of resources. This imbalance prevents children in some areas from getting the education opportunities they deserve.

Policy factors

The difference of government's education policy is also one of the reasons for the shortage of preschool education resources. Some countries have not invested enough in early childhood education, which limits the development of education.

The influence of traditional ideas

In some places, traditional ideas still think that early childhood education is not important, which leads many parents to ignore their children's early education and aggravate the scarcity of high-quality resources.

Lack of teachers

The lack of professional preschool teachers is also an important factor leading to the decline of the quality of preschool education and the scarcity of resources.
