According to the Kindergarten Staffing Standard (Provisional) issued by the Ministry of Education on 20 13, the ratio of kindergarten staff to children needs to reach 1:5 to 1:7. If we want to reach the goal of 1: 7, we need to add nearly 6000 staff.
Corresponding to the shortage of preschool teachers, the income of the whole preschool education industry is not proportional to the effort, and the supply of public kindergartens and inclusive kindergartens is insufficient, which has also become a bottleneck restricting the development of preschool education in our city.
Income is not proportional to pay.
The profession of kindergarten teachers is questioned.
Chen Donghua is a teacher in Huangzidong Kindergarten in the urban area, with more than 65,438+00 years of teaching experience. She told reporters that an experienced kindergarten teacher like her earns less than 4,000 yuan a month. According to Hu Qiaolan, the director of the kindergarten, in the private kindergarten in Heyuan, the monthly salary of newly-hired kindergarten teachers with general college education is only more than 2,000. In addition, two-thirds of kindergarten teachers in the park have college education or above, and the education level of kindergarten teachers has reached a higher level of private kindergartens in our city.
The reporter saw on a recruitment website that the salary of kindergarten teachers recruited by private kindergartens in our city is mostly 2000-3000 yuan. According to the official data released by the Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security and the Statistics Bureau, the average monthly salary of employees in the city in 20 16 was 4,709 yuan, and the salary of kindergarten teachers was far below the average. Compared with most private kindergartens at present, a small number of public kindergartens belong to public institutions, which implement the salary and welfare system of national and provincial institutions, and have better treatment, but have higher requirements for the recruitment of kindergarten teachers. The reporter learned that the recruitment of kindergarten teachers in public kindergartens in our city requires a bachelor's degree or above and holds a teacher qualification certificate.
Recently, several incidents of child abuse have aroused widespread concern, and public opinion has magnified the negative image of kindergarten teachers, leading to more misunderstandings about kindergarten teachers. Chen Donghua told reporters that from work to work, she has to work nearly 10 hours every day. From 7: 30 in the morning, she took her students to the park for physical examination, exercise and breakfast, and then gave them to her parents in the afternoon. She can't relax for a moment, and her work is very intense.
Faced with the current situation that income is not proportional to pay, and the current social doubts about the career of kindergarten teachers, she said with a smile that as long as children are taken good care of, most parents can understand the work of kindergarten teachers. Hu Qiaolan believes that most kindergarten teachers are working with selfless care and strong sense of responsibility for their children, and some negative cases cannot be treated as a whole.
On the one hand, there is a big gap in kindergarten teachers, and the market demand for professional kindergarten teachers and quality kindergartens is increasing day by day. On the other hand, because of the pressure of lack of money, young people are unwilling to be kindergarten teachers. The contradiction between supply and demand of kindergarten teachers actually reflects many problems.
Zheng Yingqiong, a pre-school education teacher in He Vocational College, pointed out that at present, more than half of kindergarten teachers are junior college graduates, and the training period of kindergarten teachers is relatively long, and the treatment guarantee is low, which makes pre-school education practitioners lack professional honor. At present, the most important thing is to improve the protection mechanism of kindergarten teachers' treatment, enhance the sense of professional honor and jointly protect the children's good time.
Public kindergartens only account for 3 1%.
Need more inclusive kindergartens
In addition to the shortage of preschool teachers, the shortage of public kindergartens and inclusive kindergartens has also become an important shortcoming that restricts the development of preschool education in our city. "It is really difficult to read a kindergarten now. Public kindergartens are inaccessible. Some private kindergartens are more expensive than universities. " This is the feeling of many parents of children.
It is understood that there are currently 558 kindergartens at all levels in our city, including public kindergartens 176, private kindergartens 382, and public kindergartens only account for 3 1%. In terms of urban and rural distribution, there are117,297 and 144 kindergartens in urban areas, towns and villages respectively.
The reporter noticed that in our city, private kindergartens account for more than half of both the number of parks and the number of children studying. Among them, most private kindergartens are small-scale schools, and only a few have created unique brands and belong to education groups. With the liberalization of the two-child policy and the arrival of a new baby boom, the tight supply and demand situation of kindergarten teachers in our city will continue.
The reporter visited the major kindergartens in the city and learned that the tuition fees of kindergartens in the city range from 1000 yuan to 9000 yuan per semester. There is an obvious difference between private kindergartens and public kindergartens. Tuition fees for public kindergartens range from 2,500 yuan per semester 1500 yuan, while private kindergartens generally range from 2,500 yuan to 3,500 yuan, with the highest reaching more than 8,000 yuan. According to industry insiders, vigorously developing inclusive kindergartens with the nature of public welfare is the way out to solve the problems of difficult and expensive admission.

It refers to public kindergartens and inclusive private kindergartens that are subsidized by the government and set charging standards to balance the allocation of educational resources. According to Wu, director of Yuancheng Central Kindergarten, the Municipal Education Bureau has certain restrictions on the fees of inclusive private kindergartens. The tuition fee for first-class kindergartens in the city shall not be higher than 3302 yuan per semester. In addition, governments at all levels still give certain subsidies to inclusive kindergartens in teaching and enrollment.
18 years, the proportion of standardized kindergartens in our city will reach more than 76%.
According to the Opinions of the General Office of the People's Government of Guangdong Province on Increasing the Supply of Primary and Secondary School Degrees and Quality Education Resources in Kindergartens issued on February, 2065438, by 2020, the gross enrollment rate of preschool education in the Pearl River Delta region and the eastern and western regions of Guangdong will reach over 98% and 92% respectively, and the proportion of public kindergartens will reach over 30%.
In view of the present situation of preschool education development, our city put forward in 20 16 that on the basis of completing the "double innovation" of education, it will take three years to create an advanced city to promote the modernization of education, which mentioned that it is necessary to vigorously develop inclusive preschool education. In addition, in June 5438+February last year, our city recently revised the Implementation Opinions on Equalization of Basic Public Services in Heyuan City (20 10-2020), proposing that preschool education should be fully popularized in 20 18, and public parks and inclusive private parks will basically be formed.
