從技職教育到在地托育服務專科學校參與公部門幼托實務的角色與挑戰

Bridging Technical and Vocational Education with Local Childcare: Roles and Challenges of Junior Colleges in a Public-Private Partnership Model

本研究探討在臺灣少子女化趨勢及政府推動公共化托育服務的脈絡下，技職專科學校參與公部門幼托實務所扮演的角色與面臨的挑戰。本研究以一所專科學校為例，分析其經營多個幼托機構的經驗。該校透過此模式提升了學校形象，提供學生實務學習場域與就業機會，促進師生投入創新與專業發展，並實踐大學社會責任。學校在實務運營中遭遇的挑戰包括：幼托機構人員流動、品質安全管控壓力及政策調整適應成本等問題；薪資福利與政府獎勵措施不一致導致的公平性問題；繁瑣行政管理的耗能與兩難；學校督導教師面對支持與責任不對等的壓力；學校負責人與主管變動可能影響政策延續性與機構穩定。本研究針對前述問題提出建議，強調技職教育人才培育的重要性，透過「人才領航、制度護航」，更利於實現政府及幼托機構對兒童、家庭與社會的承諾。

This study explored how vocational colleges in Taiwan engaged in publicly commissioned childcare services amid declining birth rates and the government’s promotion of childcare publicization. Drawing on a case study of a college that operated several childcare centers, the analysis highlighted how participation enhanced institutional visibility, provided students with valuable hands-on training and career opportunities, encouraged faculty–student collaboration in innovation and professional growth, and advanced the university’s social responsibility. At the same time, the study identified persistent challenges. These included high staff turnover, pressures related to quality assurance and frequent policy adjustments, disparities in salaries and government incentives, and the administrative burden of dual management systems. Supervisory teachers often faced ambiguous roles, limited support, and excessive workloads, while changes in leadership further affected policy continuity and organizational stability. This study proposed recommendations in response to the aforementioned issues and underscored the importance of talent cultivation in technical and vocational education. The implementation of a dual framework of“talent leadership”and“institutional support”was expected to enhance the capacity of early childhood care institutions to respond more effectively to the needs of children, families, and society.
