"Nowadays, children study hard, even in the last kindergarten!" Recently, the enrollment of 20 17 kindergartens has been launched one after another, and kindergartens in some places have also published this year's enrollment brochures. However, many parents find that even ordinary kindergartens are often full, not to mention the difficulty of going to a good kindergarten.

According to the statistical bulletin of national economic and social development in 20 14 released by the National Bureau of Statistics, there were 201687 million people, and the number of people born in China increased by 470,000 compared with 20 13. In other words, the number of children entering the park this year has increased by 470,000 compared with last year, which is the highest added value during the period of 20 1 1 to 20 14.

On May 16, the Ministry of Education held a press conference, and the Ministry of Education, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security jointly issued the Opinions on Implementing the Third Pre-school Education Action Plan (hereinafter referred to as the Opinions), officially launching the implementation of the 20 17-2020 third pre-school education action plan. This provides a more powerful institutional guarantee for solving the problem of "difficulty in entering the park".

I can't go to kindergarten if I have a second child.

Pang Ying is a second-born mother in Beijing. In the year when the "two children alone" was released, Pang Ying gave birth to a second child.

Recently, Pang Ying was in trouble. My youngest son, a horse, not only caught up with the baby boom brought by his zodiac, but also became the first batch of "two children alone".

"Our boss went to kindergarten almost 10 years ago. At that time, he went to kindergarten in the neighborhood near his home. It's not expensive. He can sign up. I didn't expect the second child to go to kindergarten now, and even the name can't be reported. " Pang Ying complained.

"School-age children with household registration and housing property certificate in XX community, and the head of household and the owner need to be the first guardian of school-age children. The first guardian's property and household registration must be at least 3 years. " Pang Ying pointed to the mobile phone and told the reporter of China Youth Daily and Zhongqing Online that the enrollment brochure of the nearest public kindergarten stated very harsh "priority conditions". Last year, there were dozens of school-age children in the whole community, and finally only seven children were admitted to this kindergarten.

However, this is not only the heart disease of parents in first-tier cities, but also the heart disease of parents in second-and third-tier cities.

Ms. Lei is the mother of two children in a county in Sichuan. "Our youngest son's household registration is rural and now lives in the county. There are very few public kindergartens in the county. After registration, we must first enroll the children in the county hukou, so we are now looking for relationships everywhere. "

Where is the gap in kindergarten resources?

"The challenge that the second child era will face is where high-quality preschool education resources are scarce, and now even basic resources cannot be guaranteed." Liao Liying, an associate researcher at Beijing Academy of Educational Sciences, said this in an interview with China Youth Daily and Zhongqing Online.

Some scholars predict that the demand for preschool education resources will increase greatly from 20 19, and 20021year will be the most stressful year for preschool education in China. In 20021year, the newly-increased school-age population will reach about150,000, the estimated gap of kindergartens will be close to 1 1 10,000, and the estimated gap of preschool teachers and caregivers will exceed 3 million, so the funding supply for preschool education is far from meeting the future demand.

Liao said that in some second-and third-tier cities and even rural areas, many children can't even guarantee basic admission. "For example, a county may have only one public kindergarten. How can this be enough? It must be who can enter, and the quality of the remaining private parks is uneven. "

Liao believes that in preschool education, what China lacks most at present is the resources of public kindergartens or inclusive private kindergartens. "In the past, some units and enterprises had their own kindergartens. These kindergartens don't say how high the quality is, but they can relieve a lot of pressure for young parents. However, with the economic transformation, these kindergartens are also facing the problem of survival or death. "

"The quality of private parks is uneven and the fees are very high, but now some private kindergartens have to entrust them." Liao said to him.

Cheng, a professor at Shaanxi Normal University, said that all sectors of society are not ready for the coming "baby boom". "It is not so much a shortage of high-quality preschool education resources as a shortage of government-run education resources".

"For parents born after 80s and 90s, children are born and their parents may not have retired. Who will take care of the children? " Cheng said that there is a lack of child care institutions in the society, and domestic early education resources for 0 to 3 years old are not in place. Today's early education institutions don't play the trusteeship function like the "nursery" in the past. Many people are afraid to have two children, not just economic problems.

Perfecting the preschool education system is the "bottom-up" guarantee to deal with the wave of declining birthrate.

"We lined up at the entrance of the kindergarten at 4: 00 in the morning to go to the public park." "My treasure only went to the public park through contacts, and it cost more than 1000." "The child was a little shy when interviewing, but the teacher didn't like it, so he was eliminated directly ... On the Internet, parents never stopped complaining about the difficulty of entering the park.

It is understood that since the issuance of the "National Ten Articles" for preschool education, the first and second three-year action plans for county preschool education have been implemented in various places, and the financial investment has continued to increase, effectively alleviating the problems of "difficulty in entering the park" and "expensive admission". According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education, the gross enrollment rate of preschool education in China has increased from 50.9% to 75% in the past three years.

In this regard, the Opinions also pointed out that the main goal of the third preschool education action plan is to basically build a universal, basic and high-quality preschool education service system by 2020. In the three years before school, the gross enrollment rate reached 85%, and the coverage rate of inclusive kindergartens (the proportion of children in public kindergartens and inclusive private kindergartens to the total number of children in kindergartens) reached about 80%.

Liu Qian, director of the curriculum and teaching department of preschool education in the Education Department of East China Normal University, said in an interview with China Youth Daily and Zhongqing Online reporter: "I found in my investigation that how to implement so many policy documents is very critical. This year, the Ministry of Education launched the third preschool education action plan. How to ensure the provinces' investment in education and maintain the strength of the second preschool education action plan is a challenge for preschool education resources in the future. "
