Delegates ' debate: Spending more money on kindergarten than college

"Admission is difficult, admission is expensive". After the compulsory education is free, the higher education controls the tuition fee and the consummation subsidy system and so on, the preschool education question is becoming prominent, becomes one of main livelihood problems.　　March 4, CCDI in the Ministry of Education, the original team leader Tian Shulan Committee in the Education sector group will sigh, in the city to receive pre-school education than the university is difficult. Not only expensive, but also on the internet, similar to "bask in the high rate of kindergarten" posts abound.　　Netizens reflect that kindergarten in the city is not only difficult, but also expensive. Tuition fee of 1500 yuan per month, plus more than 1000 yuan a semester book fee, as well as two hundred or three hundred yuan per door interest course fee, the total cost of one year is about 18000 yuan, 3 years down is 54000 yuan.　　This is Ms. Zhao's niece in Beijing Capital Normal University Kindergarten School of the general cost list. Reporters from a number of children in Beijing kindergarten parents have learned that 3 years 54000 yuan can only be regarded as the average level. A parent told a reporter, after her comparison, found that whether to send their children to public kindergartens or private kindergartens, 3 years of costs must be at 100,000 yuan up and down. Although the public kindergartens are low in fees and charges, they have to pay 20,000 to 40,000 of the sponsorship fee, and the private kindergartens have to spend a minimum of two thousand or three thousand yuan each month.　　"she said.　　In this way, even if we do not compare the sky-high "aristocratic kindergarten" of the pure foreign professors, the cost of the 3-year preschool education in Beijing is more than the total cost of many university students for four years. Not only is Beijing expensive, the country is very high, and at the beginning of this year general price increases.　　The Chongqing delegation's black New Wen representative said, according to her understanding, 2009 Chongqing City main urban area's ordinary kindergarten, a child one year's basic expenditure not below 7000 yuan, this year generally rose 10%~15%, some kindergartens ' monthly fee unexpectedly rose 60%. Not only is it a matter of cost, but it is also crucial that a slightly better kindergarten is difficult to get into. In order to be eligible for admission, the whole family took turns, queuing a number of day and night places in many regions of the country have appeared.　　Cai Zhijun, deputy director of the Guizhou Provincial Education Department, was surprised to have a resume in kindergarten now, "from the age of 1, what has been learned, should be enumerated." "This shows that the problem is still outstanding and has not been alleviated," said Professor Liu Yan, director of the Department of pre-school education at Beijing Normal University, a member of the CPPCC.　　"The entrance is difficult, where is the difficulty?"　　Liu Yan said that China's pre-school education contradictions were not so prominent, but at the turn of the century there was a setback.　　According to the introduction, around 2000, along with the economic system reform, the planned economy system formed by units, collective Office park, public welfare and welfare characteristics of the obvious pre-school education system was broken, kindergartens are stripped out from the original units, was shut, stop, and, turn, so that the number of kindergartens in the country dropped sharply Ministry of Education data show that the national enterprises and institutions to run kindergartens from 2000 to 16,000 of the reductionBy 2007, 5000 had fallen by 70%, resulting in a reduction in the overall number of urban kindergartens from 37,000 in 2000 to 33,000 in 2007.　　Take Beijing as an example, according to Beijing Education Department Statistics, 1996, Beijing has a total of 3056 kindergartens, but the city's legal kindergartens only 1266, the total decline of 58.57%. At the same time, the number of school-age children with pre-school needs is increasing.　　Data show that in 2008 the National 3-year-old-5-year-old preschool-age children a total of 52.4 million people, but the number of children in the park only 24.79 million people, the admission rate is only 47.3%.　　Even in Beijing, between 2006 and 2008, Beijing was born with a total of more than 400,000 births and non-registered newborns, but the existing 1266 kindergartens received only about 226,000 people, and there was a gap of more than 174,000 kindergarten places. The reduction of kindergartens is related to the serious shortage of government input.　　CPPCC members, deputy mayor of Jiangmen Litvak in the media interview, a long time, our government's investment in pre-school education accounted for only about 1.3% of the funding, but the international average is 3.8%, the high Country accounts for about 7% to 11%. Liu Yan said that the 1.3% is also mainly invested in public kindergartens, including government agencies to run parks and education departments to run the park.　　These kindergartens have high quality and low prices, but only a small number of children can enjoy them, because these kindergartens often have a large number of co-operative units, and most people can only go to the market to "buy" the admission of these kindergartens. This fact is also evidenced by data from the joint statistics of the China Baby Research Center and the Baby and Child Business Network (www.yyt360.com).　　In Beijing's 2008 education surcharge of a billion of yuan, the cost of preschool education accounted for only 39 million yuan, which accounted for only 3.1% of the total investment, and almost all of the money was invested in 145 public kindergartens. Liu Yan said that less investment is the concept of the government, some local governments think that pre-school education is not compulsory, the Government should not be burdened, so that the surrender of pre-school education to the market, resulting in insufficient investment in pre-school education worse.　　This, she bluntly, is a manifestation of the government's abandonment of social responsibility. The consequence is that, in 2007, the proportion of private park in our country is over 60%, among which, the citizen's private garden accounts for about 79% of the private park.　　Because the private park charges to take the record system, the charge height is completely affected by the market regulation and the price competition mechanism, causes the private park the profit color to be strong, and the luxurious garden unceasingly increases, causes the kindergarten to be more and more cannot rise.　　Should the compulsory education be included? As to how to solve the problem of pre-school education is difficult and expensive, the mainstream call is to include compulsory education.　　In recent years, the two sessions of the two Councils have made such proposals on behalf of members. In this year's two sessions, QI members suggested that kindergartens should be administered and charged in accordance with the requirements of the compulsory education stage, and suggested that the Government should increase its investment in early childhood education and integrate it into the public service area. Kindergartens no longer charge, but according to household registration.Whether private kindergartens or public kindergartens, unified into the national financial subsidies.　　Liu Yan also mentioned similar proposals in 2008, but her programme was conservative and offered only one year of pre-school education. Liu Yan said that from the current economic development situation in China, it is not a problem to take out a one-year preschool subsidy.　　But in the world, except for some countries with good Nordic welfare, most developed countries do not have three years of pre-school free, and most of them focus on the solution of pre-school one year.　　Black New Wen recommended the enactment of the "pre-school education law" to standardize the national pre-school education, especially to standardize fees. Sun Huiling, deputy director of Tianjin Hexi District Bureau of Education, believes that the main reform direction is to strengthen the construction of kindergartens.　　She said that the Tianjin Hexi District through the Grand Park to do the way, greatly alleviated the difficulty of admission.　　It is understood that Beijing also began to increase the construction of kindergartens from 2009, plans to add 120 public kindergartens in 3 years, to increase the capacity of more than 40,000 kindergarten places. The newly released "Outline of the national medium-and long-term education reform and Development Plan" (hereinafter referred to as "the outline") was also welcomed by many delegates.　　Sun Huiling said that the outline of the "pre-school education" separate chapter, is to illustrate the importance of pre-school education. The outline also lists the main problems of preschool education, such as unclear government responsibility, imperfect system, nonstandard garden, high charge, and put forward "clear government responsibility, set up government-led, social participation, public-run system." Actively develop public kindergartens and vigorously support private kindergartens.　　To implement cost-sharing mechanism and to provide financial assistance to children with family economic difficulties. Sun Huiling said that the outline does not mention the inclusion of pre-school education in compulsory schooling, indicating that the government will also adopt a cost-sharing mechanism, "but should standardize the management of pre-school education, to solve the problem of admission to the kindergarten."
