Judging from the annual expenditure on early education courses, there are more families with1.50,000-25,000 yuan, accounting for 35.2%; Followed by 5000 to 1.5 million yuan, accounting for 32.8%. The average annual expenditure of families attending early education courses is 17832 yuan, accounting for about 1 1.9% of their parents' annual income.
The investigation team believes that families in Shanghai have a strong demand for early education courses at present. Even if the course is expensive, parents are willing to invest, showing the "early education fever" as a whole.
Parents' anxiety and the flicker of training institutions? There are two main reasons.
For the formation of the current "early education fever", the investigation team experts analyzed that the excessive anxiety of parents and the false propaganda of early education training institutions are two major reasons. According to experts' analysis, "I hope your child will become a dragon" and "I hope your daughter will become a phoenix" are the common wishes of parents. According to the survey, 5 1. 1% parents think that early education is to develop intelligence, and another 22.2% parents think that it is to learn various skills.
According to the survey, among the parents who enrolled their children in early education courses, 40.4% parents had the original intention of "not wanting to fall behind other children", and 22.2% parents hoped to change their children's behavior habits through short-term education. Besides, some parents are too busy to take care of their children.
The investigation team found that many early education institutions induced publicity for parents' desire for their children to become talents, but the actual effect of the course was not as magical as the publicity. According to the survey, 39.8% of parents have encountered over-marketing and one-on-one sales of early education institutions; Another 20.3% of parents said that early education institutions had false propaganda and could not fulfill their commitments at the time of registration.
The social problems brought by the "early education fever" are worthy of vigilance.
The investigation team pointed out that many parents' educational ideas are mixed with their own utilitarian thoughts, and their cognition of early education is also in a certain misunderstanding.
Experts believe that premature and excessive early education is not conducive to the healthy growth of children, and improper early education may have a negative impact on children. For example, early education, forcing children's knowledge that they don't have cognitive ability prematurely, can only cause children's helplessness, confusion and even panic, and make children doubt their abilities. This loss of self-confidence will spread to other activities of children and even affect their life.
In addition, the uneven curriculum content and teacher strength of early education institutions should also be paid attention to. Most institutions engaged in early education business in the name of consulting companies only need to register with the administrative department for industry and commerce, and the entry threshold is low. The survey results show that among the parents who have participated in early education courses, 3 1.3% parents have experienced the situation of suspension of classes and changing teachers at will after paying fees; 28. 1% of parents said they had encountered the problem of paying back the money.
In view of the current "early education fever", experts believe that correct and scientific early education concepts and methods should be implemented. Family education is the foundation of early education, and early education courses can only fill the gap, and the dribs and drabs of parenting education in daily life are more important. Early education is not advanced education, nor does it mean leading. We should not only pay attention to intellectual development activities such as literacy, reciting poems, reading and learning specialties, but also pay attention to children's all-round growth, cultivate children's interests and behavior habits, pay attention to personality education, and enhance children's learning ability, survival ability and social adaptability.
