Resumen

This study investigated the resolution of human resource issues in preschool education institutions in Umnugovi Province through a three-stage research process. A total of 160 teachers participated in the study. Data were collected and analyzed using document analysis, questionnaires, interviews, and mathematical-statistical methods. The findings revealed that the supply of qualified professional personnel in the province had reached 97%, while more than 92% of teachers had maintained stable employment for over five years. In addition, 70% of teachers expressed their intention to continue working in their profession, and the overall level of workplace satisfaction was reported at 59%. The study further found that Umnugovi Province achieved positive and distinctive outcomes in terms of human resource provision, employee retention, and workplace satisfaction within the preschool education sector through comprehensive policy implementation. In collaboration with the School of Preschool Education at Mongolian National University of Education, the province implemented integrated measures including local teacher preparation programs, social welfare support, and salary incentives. These initiatives contributed significantly to strengthening the stability and sustainability of the preschool education workforce compared to other local provinces in Mongolia.
