Is the entry threshold for kindergarten teachers in Britain difficult?
In Britain, if an adult wants to enter an early education institution and become an independent teacher, he must meet at least three conditions: he has graduated from high school, received early childhood education and training, has a recommendation letter from his former employer or school teacher, and has no criminal record. The British government has formulated a very systematic level for the academic qualifications of early education practitioners, from the first level to the eighth level, and each level corresponds to the corresponding academic qualifications and abilities.

Liao Xiayin, who studied preschool education in Britain and worked in preschool education for many years, told reporters that the requirements for teachers in private kindergartens in Britain are at least level 3 or above, that is, reaching the academic level of high school graduation and pre-university education. The entry threshold for kindergarten teachers in public schools is higher, and they must reach Grade 6 or above, that is, bachelor degree or above. The first and second grades belong to interns and are not allowed to attend classes alone in any preschool education institution.

In Britain, all jobs that will come into contact with children and vulnerable groups with disabilities require candidates to prove that they have no criminal record. "In a school, from principals, teachers and interns to cleaning aunts and maintenance masters, it is necessary to issue a certificate of no criminal record." Liao Xiayin said. This does not mean that everyone must have a clean certificate of no criminal record, but if a person has a criminal record of hurting children, in theory, this person can't engage in direct contact with children in his life. This may explain why the data of the National Association for the Prevention of Child Abuse, the largest child protection agency in Britain, shows that most child abuse cases in Britain occur at home, not in kindergartens and schools.

Hold the legal bottom line and standardize kindergarten management by legislation. One of the most important management methods of kindergartens is to have special legal constraints on management behavior or management means and form norms under the protection of laws.
