The Party's Report to the 20th CPC National Congress proposed to "strengthen the inclusive development of preschool education and special education". Preschool education is the most basic and initial link in the quality education system, which has attracted the attention of parents and all walks of life. In recent years, the state has vigorously promoted the popularization of inclusive preschool education, and has successively launched four preschool education action plans, so that children can attend kindergartens at their doorsteps. In September, 2022, kindergarten preparation education and primary school adaptation education were fully rolled out, and "early childhood education" took a new step towards "early childhood education".

How to promote preschool education to be more universal, inclusive, high-quality and safe? What does the decline in the number of newborns mean for kindergartens? Many delegates started a heated discussion.

-It is suggested that kindergartens should be younger when they enter the park.

One of the proposals submitted by CPPCC member Chen Xiaoyan is about strengthening the construction and reform of kindergartens and other nursery institutions. She noticed that kindergartens require three-year-old children to enter the park, which, to a certain extent, restricts many young female compatriots from participating in social production and life as soon as possible, and limits their personal ability. After widely listening to the voices of female compatriots, Chen Xiaoyan suggested that relevant evaluation criteria be introduced. In the case that children can basically take care of themselves, they can enter the park without waiting until they are 3, 2 or 2.5 years old.

-It is suggested that inclusive kindergartens should be priced at different levels according to local conditions.

Shi, member of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and executive vice chairman of Hong Kong-Fujian Association of Associations, suggested that inclusive kindergartens should set standards for fees and financial subsidies at different levels to ensure the quality of running schools.

Shi suggested: "Kindergarten fees should refer to the principle of" families should share the education cost reasonably in the non-compulsory education stage ". All localities should comprehensively consider factors such as the local economic development level, the cost of running a park, the quality of running a school, government investment and the affordability of the masses, and implement different charging and reward standards for inclusive kindergartens with different inputs and different levels of running a school, so that individuals with total income from kindergartens can bear the sum of tuition fees and government subsidies close to the actual cost of running a park to ensure the normal operation and quality of running a kindergarten. "

-Strengthening the construction of kindergartens and nursery institutions.

Ding Zuohong, member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of the board of directors of Yuexing Group, suggested that more operational implementation rules should be formulated and improved at the national level to provide policy support. For example, increase the construction of kindergartens, give childcare subsidies to pre-school families aged 0-5, give one-time birth rewards to families with two or three children, and give education subsidies to families with two or more children.

Xie, member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of Hubei Shouyi Law Firm, suggested strengthening the construction of child care service system for infants under 3 years old and improving supporting measures for childbirth; Encourage enterprises and trade unions to give full play to their own advantages, actively integrate their own resources, and carry out various types of custody services such as winter and summer care, after-school care, and full day care.
