Not even a kindergarten? Parents Going to kindergarten is more expensive than going to college, who would dare to give birth?
Pre-school education is the starting point of individual lifelong learning, and this period is also the period of the most rapid and plasticity of individual physical and mental development, which has an irreplaceable and important impact on physical and mental health, habit formation, moral cultivation, innovation ability and creativity.
In order to ensure that their children can get ahead of the competitive starting line, many parents start to investigate and pay attention to the situation in kindergartens early, and there is also a competition for admission places across the country. However, in recent years, kindergartens seem to be different, and in some places there is even a situation where enrollment is "cold".
Some kindergartens have closed suddenly, such as the Shuimitian Fangshan Jiuzhou Xiya Kindergarten in Fangshan District, Beijing. The kindergarten was still operating normally two days before closing, and parents were picking up and dropping off their children on time. It wasn't until the principal announced the closure of the kindergarten in the parent group that many parents realized that the previous two-week "suspension of classes due to heavy snow" and "suspension of classes due to electrical problems" were actually a precursor to the closure of the kindergarten.
In addition to the closure of Shuimitian Fangshan Jiuzhou Xiya Kindergarten, in recent years, there have been news of the closure of private kindergartens in many places across the country, such as Dongxiao Victoria Kindergarten in Haizhu District, Guangzhou and Haiyi Bay EtonHouse Kindergarten in Zhuhai High-tech Zone, Guangdong Province, have ceased operation.
This phenomenon of kindergarten admissions being cold may seem unexpected, but it is actually understandable. First of all, many young people choose to postpone childbearing, and even many Dink families choose not to have children, resulting in a sharp decline in the birth rate of China's newborn population, and some cities even have negative growth.
In the face of declining births and declining students, the number of kindergartens is increasing, and it is understandable that some kindergartens are facing a shortage of enrollment.
Secondly, in pursuit of better life and development opportunities, many young parents prefer to move to developed cities because there are more employment opportunities and options there. This has led to a paradox: some kindergartens are "hard to find", while others are "hard to find".
In addition, the state currently attaches great importance to the development of public kindergartens, and efforts are also being made to increase the number of public kindergartens in order to reduce the financial burden of many families. However, this has also led to the flow of many students to public kindergartens, and some teachers in private kindergartens have even jumped to public kindergartens, which makes it more difficult for private kindergartens to survive.
The preschool market is huge, and what used to be a big cake now seems unsustainable. Some parents lamented: "Going to kindergarten is more expensive than going to college, who dares to give birth?" It is true that the tuition fees of some kindergartens are higher, five or six thousand a semester has been quite common in many ordinary cities, and some characteristic kindergartens even play the "aristocratic" education concept, charging "sky-high" tuition fees, a semester to tens of thousands.
What's even more infuriating is that some kindergartens also provide additional make-up services and charge a fee, raising parents' questions: "What does the kindergarten need to make?" Do you want to sing, dance, or paint? If all of this has to be made up, then what else is taught? Don't you even teach numbers? ”
In the past, there were plenty of students and kindergartens were relatively scarce, and all kinds of cards and fees were overflowing, and quality was neglected. Nowadays, the number of students is decreasing and the number of kindergartens is increasing, and the competition is fierce, and some kindergartens can only survive by competing for students.
Looking back at the time of graduation, college students are already twenty-three or four-year-old, and in the fierce employment environment, it is a big challenge to support yourself in the first five years, and whether you can earn money in the middle ten years depends on relationships, background, strength and luck. After the age of thirty-five, many businesses may no longer be interested in middle-aged employees and enter a midlife crisis. In this case, people feel angry when they think about it. Therefore, the gradual decline in the birth rate of the population has not only affected kindergartens, but also affected many industrial chains, and may even form a chain reaction.
Therefore, as it stands, kindergarten may only be the first industry to be hit, followed by elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools and universities.
