According to statistics, in 20 16 years, the proportion of pre-school education funds in our province was 6. 1%. According to the number of students in the park divided by the total number of school-age children over three years old and under six years old, the data obtained is called "gross enrollment rate". International experience shows that in countries where the gross enrollment rate of preschool education reaches 80%, preschool education accounts for 9.67% of financial education expenditure on average. In 20 16, the gross enrollment rate in Zhejiang province has reached 1 18%, but the financial expenditure only accounts for about 6%. Comparatively speaking, the financial input of our province is seriously insufficient.
In addition, after the two-child policy, Zhejiang Province is expected to add150,000-200,000 children every year. By 2020, it is estimated that the number of kindergarten children in the province will increase by about 470,000. According to the statistics reported by local education departments, by 2020, the province needs to build 1 144 kindergartens and expand 406 kindergartens.
"On the one hand,' having a garden' has become the rigid demand of the people. On the other hand,' having a good garden' has become a new expectation and requirement." Guo Huawei, director of Zhejiang Education Department, said, "The superposition of these old and new problems will inevitably bring great pressure to the supply of preschool education resources. Therefore, we must plan ahead and take the promulgation and implementation of the Regulations as an opportunity to formulate and improve the special plan for kindergarten layout. It is necessary to build, renovate and expand a number of public kindergartens in a planned way to reverse the current shortage of public kindergartens as soon as possible. "
