Recently, affected by the change in the birth population, Hunan, Anhui and other places began to withdraw and merge kindergartens. Most of the kindergartens that were withdrawn and merged were village-run and private-run, and some were dismissed because they did not meet the qualifications for running schools. With the declining birth rate, the development of education in China has also changed.
A few days ago, there was a set of shocking data, saying that in 2035, the number of students in primary and secondary schools in our country will decrease by 30 million, which means that in the next 12 years, the average number of primary and secondary school students will decrease by about 2 million per year.
The first to bear the brunt is the kindergarten. I remember that in the past, in the good kindergarten in Beijing, parents would go to the queue in the middle of the night to grab a place, but now it is a completely different scene. I know that a kindergarten used to require a Beijing hukou, but now it is all restricted. Now there is a shortage of kindergarten students, followed by primary school, and in a few years or more than ten years, it will be high school and university, and many parents say that there are fewer and fewer children, whether it can lie flat, and you can enter 985 and 211 by taking the exam casually, which is really not.
Because as the number of students decreases, so will the number of schools, and the competitive pressure of high-quality primary and secondary schools is still very high. However, there is also a positive side to this, and the quality of education that children receive may get better and better in the future. Schools must grab students to continue operating, and poor schools will naturally be eliminated. Moreover, a class is now fifty or sixty students, and it may be reduced to ten or twenty students in the future, so that small class teaching is more conducive to the teacher's attention and care for the children in the class. So there are good and bad things about the decline in the number of students, what do you think?
