With the decline of the new population year by year, more and more kindergartens are facing the dilemma of not having enough students and have to choose the fate of closing. For example, Dongxiao Victoria Kindergarten in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, and EtonHouse Kindergarten in Haiyi Bay High-tech Zone in Zhuhai have announced that they will no longer continue to operate schools. The closure of these kindergartens has aroused strong concern and confusion among parents. They can't help but sigh that they can't even hold up the kindergarten, why is that?
Guangdong Province has not only seen a large-scale closure of kindergartens, but also news of the closure of kindergartens in other regions. In Linquan County, Fuyang City, Anhui Province, 50 private kindergartens announced the termination of their schools, which had an impact on the total number of kindergartens and private kindergartens in the county.
The main reason for the closure of kindergartens is that the enrollment problem has led to the cost of running a school. Originally, kindergarten was a popular choice for everyone to compete for admission places, but with the decrease in the number of students and the continuous cost of running a school, the survival pressure of kindergartens has become huge. Before the closure, these kindergartens had to provide new options for the children in the kindergartens, which made parents feel very hesitant and confused. The closure of these kindergartens is only the beginning of a wave of school closures that will affect other stages of education in the future, such as elementary, middle, high school and even university.
In addition to the large number of kindergartens, parents have also complained about the high cost of kindergarten education. Many parents lament that the tuition fee for kindergarten is even higher than that of going to college, which makes them afraid to have children easily.
In today's society, kindergartens have become ubiquitous, especially in cities, and can be seen in almost every neighborhood. However, the tuition fee of six or seven thousand yuan a semester in ordinary urban kindergartens has become the norm, and there are even some high-fee kindergartens, and the tuition fee for a semester is as high as tens of thousands of yuan. What is even more difficult for parents to understand is that some kindergartens will also make up classes and charge additional fees. This has sparked dissatisfaction and doubts among parents. They believe that kindergartens should teach children simple basic knowledge and skills, and should not have all kinds Xi of remedial classes. This high fee and unreasonable teaching model is unaffordable for many families, and it also raises concerns about the quality of kindergarten education.
The closure of kindergartens and the problem of excessive fees are not limited to the field of kindergarten education. The existence of these problems also affects the development of other industrial chains, which will cause a chain reaction.
Behind the closure of kindergartens, there is actually a problem of declining students. Due to the declining number of newborns year by year, many families choose to have children later or choose not to have children, resulting in a shortage of kindergarten students. This problem is not only a problem for kindergartens, but also for the education system as a whole.
The pressure on young parents, in particular, is enormous. They are worried about the three mountains of employment pressure, medical pressure and education pressure, and many people choose to have children later or choose not to have children. Coupled with the difficulty of finding employment and low income after graduating from university, many young families are worried about fertility.
However, solving the problem of declining students will not be achieved overnight. It requires the joint efforts of all parties in society, including the state**, educational institutions, schools, teachers, students and parents. Only when young parents no longer feel overly tired and stressed every day, and have a sense of happiness in life, will they be more willing to increase their desire to have children.
In order to solve the problem of young people's involution, we need to break the three mountains of employment pressure, medical pressure and education pressure. **More policies could be introduced to support young people in employment, and better health care and education resources could be provided. Educational institutions and schools should pay attention to the quality of education, reasonably control tuition fees, and provide more funding policies. Teachers and parents should also work together to create a positive and healthy Xi environment for children to reach their full potential.
Only through the joint efforts of all parties will we be able to solve the problem of kindergarten closures and declining pupils, and lay a solid foundation for the country's educational development and population growth.
