Abstract
The purposes of this research were 1) to study the condition and expectation of educational provision efficiency at earlychildhood level of Local Administrative Organization 2) to develop the indicators of educational provision efficiency at early childhood level of Local Administrative Organization toward the change in the 21st century education 3) to examine the quality of the
indicators, 4) to rank the indicators of educational provision efficiency. The samples were composed
of early childhood development centers, higher education institutions producing early childhood
teachers, and partnerships. The research instruments were data recording form, questionnaire and interview form. The quantitative data were analyzed by using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, factor analysis and qualitative data using content analysis.

And they expected for developing the educational provision efficiency (97.50%, 100.00% and 98.25% 2) Ninety related literatures were reviewed and 60 persons of 3 groups of stakeholders and 6 experts were interviewed for synthesis the indicators. They were 4 components, 73 indicators as follow: input (27), process (24), output (15), outcome (7).
3) The result of the indicators’ quality examination found that they had appropriateness, feasibility
and utility. 4) The result of ranking the indicators evaluated from 3 groups of stakeholders found
that the component of output had the highest mean, followed by process, input, and outcome.
