Why is the cost of living in kindergarten so high?

We are generally only children now, and children are very precious. The family doesn't want children to fall behind, so it's natural to go to kindergarten. At present, nine-year compulsory education is implemented, and of course kindergartens, high schools and universities are making money. But it's also from dolls, and some kindergartens charge too much, which is scary. The following is an excerpt from the reporter's interview on the living expenses, hoping to dispel your doubts:

"Private kindergartens rely on their own funds to run parks, and they can't live without raising prices." Wang Yuanchang of Yanghe Kindergarten in Jiangbei District said that she supported the price increase.

She calculated an account for the reporter. Last semester, the monthly childcare fee for each child in the park was 460 yuan. Excluding meals 180 yuan, the education cost is less than that of 300 yuan. According to the calculation of 300 children in the park, the monthly income is less than 90 thousand yuan, while the annual rent of kindergarten is 400 thousand yuan and the average monthly salary is 30 thousand yuan. The monthly salary of more than 40 teachers is more than 50,000 yuan. Just counting these two expenses, we know that kindergartens are almost unprofitable.

"800 yuan new kindergarten teacher monthly salary. After working for a few years, it's just 1000. Income is not as good as that of migrant workers. Many people are reluctant to do this. " Wang Yuanchang said that the money saved by the kindergarten can only be made up for the teachers, and even the floor is broken, so they are reluctant to spend money to repair it.

"If calculated according to the salary of each teacher 1.500 yuan, buy' five insurances' for each teacher, plus more than 400 yuan. We have calculated that, in this way, every student will receive 680 yuan. " Wang Yuanchang said that this semester will definitely increase the treatment of teachers and update facilities and equipment.

Relevant person in charge of the Education Commission:

The price increase of public parks is due to the old standards.

Private parks should not go up if they are not up to standard.

"The price increase of public parks is relatively large because the charging standards implemented in the past have not been adjusted for many years, which is really too low." The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Education Commission said that the previous charging standard in our city was set at 1.998, which had already failed to keep up with the price level. For example, the daycare in the first-class kindergarten is RMB 1.05 per person per month, and the daycare in the second-class kindergarten is 85 yuan per person per month, which is not enough at the current price level.

"From 1998 to now 1 1 year. It is obvious to everyone how much prices have risen in the past ten years. Not only the price of teaching AIDS and toys has increased, but also the water and electricity bills have increased several times, as well as the wages and social security of temporary employees, which have increased the operating costs of kindergartens. " She said.

The person in charge said that the charging standard of private parks is determined by the cost of running parks and market demand. In recent years, the charge standard of newly-built kindergartens is relatively high, and the price increase of public parks should not be the reason for them to follow suit. The principle of charging is still based on the cost of running the park. If it does not reach the corresponding level of running a public kindergarten, it should not charge a higher price.

There are many hidden ways to increase income in kindergartens.

In the fierce market competition, the charging standards of kindergarten education fees and living expenses are relatively transparent, which is convenient for parents to compare. The reporter learned in the interview that some kindergartens often adopt other ways to increase their income.

A

sponsorship fee

Divide the whole into parts/pieces

Many kindergartens claim that they don't charge sponsorship fees to attract parents. In fact, they don't charge sponsorship fees. Instead, the sponsorship fee will be divided into several parts, not collected at one time, but shared into the monthly fee, and the monthly increase will be 100 yuan, which is not a small amount after three years.

B

Interest class

Bundle charge

Kindergartens often offer some interest classes such as music, dance and painting, and each student charges one or two hundred yuan per semester. This is a voluntary project chosen by parents of students, and some kindergartens are bundled with fees when they start school.

C

cost down

Reduce teachers

The state stipulates that each class should be equipped with at least two kindergarten teachers and one nurse. In order to save money, some kindergartens only arrange one teacher and one nurse in a class, and some kindergartens even let one teacher take classes all day.

D

living expenses

Misappropriation

The living expenses of the kindergarten are collected on behalf of others and reimbursed by themselves. In order to increase profits, some kindergartens deduct children's living expenses, such as canceling fruits, losing weight and reducing meat dishes.

E

Every class

Increase the number of people

The state stipulates that kindergartens implement small class system, and the maximum number of students in each class is 30. Some kindergartens expand classes without authorization, allowing more students in each class to reduce operating costs.

F

New teaching materials

Change money in disguise
