1. Number of students majoring in preschool education.
By the end of 20 15, there were 233,626 students in preschool education at all levels, including 848 undergraduates1person; 20483 junior college students; There are 204,662 middle school students.
2. The basic situation of kindergarten teachers in China.
By 20 15, there will be 909,000 full-time kindergarten teachers and 40 1 10,000 full-time urban teachers. There are 329,000 full-time teachers in counties and townships; There are 229,000 full-time teachers in rural areas. 66.2% are full-time teachers in cities and 36.4% are full-time teachers in rural areas.
According to statistics, at present, the number of pre-school education colleges at junior college level in China is relatively small, and only 15.4% of kindergarten teachers graduate from junior college every year, resulting in a low proportion of kindergarten teachers with college education or above, which is far from meeting the needs of today's social development.
Preschool education is the most urgent demand for people's livelihood.
Early childhood education is the foundation of life development, the foundation of early childhood education, the beginning of lifelong education and an important part of the national education system, which is of great significance for promoting the healthy development of children's physical and mental health, consolidating and improving the quality and efficiency of compulsory education, improving the national quality, narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas and promoting education and social equity. At the same time, the Seventeenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Third Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee also clearly put forward the requirements of attaching importance to early childhood education and rural early childhood education.
In recent years, although China's preschool education has picked up, the gross enrollment rate was only 44.6% in 2007 and reached 47.3% in 2008, but the development still cannot meet the needs of the people. Due to the small number of rural kindergartens in China, 50% of children still fail to enter kindergartens for pre-school education; In cities, due to the lack of policy environment support, private kindergartens have problems in fees and quality, which leads parents to generally choose public kindergartens, which are difficult and expensive to enter. In 2008, the number of kindergarten children was about 24.75 million, less than 50% of children aged 3-6 in China, while rural kindergarten children only accounted for 44% of rural children. According to the statistics of Shaanxi Province, in 20 10, there were 294,000 newborns and 49,000 newborns in xi 'an. By the end of 20 10, there were only 222 public kindergartens in Xi 'an, and even fewer in other counties. According to the statistics of Chengdu Education Bureau 20 10, the shortage of preschool teachers in the city exceeds10.5 million. With the accelerated development of preschool education, the demand for preschool education in China is becoming more and more prominent.
Early education is in the ascendant.
Early education is the general trend of preschool education in 2 1 century. The latest "China Demographic Yearbook" shows that the total number of children aged 0-3 in China is 70 million, of which the total number of children aged 0-3 in cities is 6.5438+0.09 million. The commanding height of talent training is in the primary stage, and the concept that education begins at the age of 0 is becoming more and more popular. The intellectual development of children aged 0-3 is the expectation of parents, and it is also a new growth point for the development of early childhood education and market demand.
Fourth, there is a shortage of early education talents.
According to the Outline of the National Medium-and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan and the development plans of preschool education formulated by provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, it will be basically popularized in the next decade. However, there is a big gap between preschool teachers. It is estimated that the gap of preschool teachers will reach10.2 million in the next decade. Although the national preschool education has developed in recent years, there is still a big gap with the overall goal of the national preschool education development. In order to shorten this gap, a large number of high-quality preschool teachers are needed, which provides a huge job market for preschool education professionals.
