How to solve the shortage of kindergarten teachers?

Although preschool education and preschool education are not compulsory education stages, they play an important role in the educational enlightenment and development of the whole person, but at this stage, there is a big gap between preschool education and preschool education teachers.

1, the reason for the gap

Many kindergartens publish job advertisements all the year round, but they are still in a state of lack of teachers. In fact, the reason for this phenomenon is very obvious. First, the talent pool is decreasing. Many kindergarten teachers' majors and academic qualifications are pre-school education and junior college. There used to be a part-time job. Many students did not enter high school or university, and then chose kindergarten teachers' major. However, with the improvement of education level and the popularization of colleges and universities, many students still go through the formal undergraduate promotion system and basically choose junior college or undergraduate college to study. Even in professional normal colleges, few people sign up for kindergarten teachers, which leads to a decrease in the reserve of kindergarten teachers. Second, the salary, kindergarten teachers should be the lowest salary among all staff positions, and even the salary of public kindergartens is the least, but the salary of private early education institutions will be higher, so many kindergarten teachers choose to work in private early education institutions. Third, the responsibility is relatively large. Children nowadays are all only children. If something happens in the garden, parents and the garden will hold the teacher accountable, and it is not easy to be fair.

2. Solutions

Solving this problem is the right medicine. First, increase the enrollment of pre-school education students in colleges and universities, and give students who apply for this major corresponding advantages in order to attract more students and expand the talent pool. Second, improve the welfare benefits of kindergarten teachers, whether public or private kindergartens, from wages to welfare benefits should be on par with local civil servants or high school teachers, so that they can get economic security in their careers. Third, establish a protection mechanism, actively alleviate the daily teaching and life pressure of kindergarten teachers, actively coordinate the contradictions and conflicts between parents and kindergarten teachers, strive for a more relaxed and tolerant working environment for them, and reduce all kinds of psychological burdens and pressures. Fourth, relax the age limit for the recruitment of kindergarten teachers, and relax the employment of those who are over 30 years old and specialize in kindergarten teachers on the premise of ensuring their professional teaching quality.

3. Career planning

In fact, the role of preschool education is very obvious. Parents and the country should take preschool education as the focus of future education development. Although it is not included in compulsory education, it is necessary to create a good environment and conditions for students' growth and physical and mental development at this stage.

Only by fundamentally solving the problems existing in preschool education can children really not lose at the starting line.
