Gap of Kindergarten Teachers in Gansu Province in 2021

Experts predict that in 2021, the gap of kindergarten teachers and nurses is expected to exceed 3 million. Higher vocational colleges will try to overcome the shortage of kindergarten teachers and have been teaching for more than 20 years. Bao Lizhen, the head of preschool education department of Inner Mongolia Normal College for Nationalities, has seen more than 300 kindergartens to &”;grab&”; the &”;grand occasion&”; of more than 1,000 preschool graduates, and has a personal experience of the talent gap in the kindergarten industry. Bao Lizhen told reporters that there are only 353 kindergartens in Erdos, where the school is located, with 89,340 kindergarten children, but only 14,728 kindergarten teachers and staff. &”;The students trained by the school every year are far from meeting the market demand&”;. A set of data confirms Bao Lizhen&;s feelings. In 2019, the report of the State Council on the reform and development of preschool education pointed out that at present, the total number of full-time kindergarten teachers in China is 2.58 million, which is still short of 520,000 according to the standard of &”;two teaching and one guarantee&”; for each class. In September 2019, the first batch of school-age children born after the &”;comprehensive two-child policy&”; began to enter kindergartens one after another. According to a research report by the Institute of Educational Policy of Southwest University, nearly 6 million preschool children will be added in preschool education in 2019 due to the &”;All-round Two-Child&”; policy. It is estimated that by 2021, the gap between preschool teachers and caregivers will exceed 3 million. The number of fresh graduates of kindergarten teachers&; major is far from meeting the needs of the society for kindergarten teachers. At present, Bao Lizhen believes that higher vocational colleges need to do more, and should be the main position for training preschool teachers. The quality of training preschool education talents also affects the overall quality of preschool education industry. Faced with the gap of kindergarten teachers, the Ministry of Education is taking action. It is reported that the record and approval results of the higher vocational education specialty set by the Ministry of Education in 2020 show that there are 155 new preschool education specialties in 2020, and the total number of preschool education specialties in higher vocational colleges exceeds 700. Students majoring in pre-school education have become the main source of supply for kindergarten teachers in China. However, facing the market, higher vocational colleges, as the source of educating people, still need to take the initiative and make continuous efforts. Practicing to solve the problem of &”;acclimatization&”; has become a necessary preparation for students majoring in preschool education before they enter the park. Liang Jiayu, a pre-school education major in Inner Mongolia Teachers College for Nationalities, admits that although he has learned a lot of professional knowledge and done numerous simulation trainings, he still feels at a loss when he thinks of really getting started. The trainee experience in Kanghe Lishe Kindergarten, Dongsheng District, Erdos reduced Liang Jiayu&;s sense of panic. &”;I used to see children&;s zippers open, and I used to want to help them pull them up, but now I know how to guide children to do it themselves.&”; &”;If children are fighting, we should first try to let them solve it independently. If they can&;t solve it, the teacher will come forward to adjust it.&”; She counted her accumulated experience in practice. Designing regional corners, telling stories in competitions, drawing posters and making paper-cuts … Liang Jiayu excitedly told reporters about his usual class content, &”;This makes theoretical knowledge come alive, and I am interested in everything&”;. Now, Liang Jiayu is thinking about which kindergarten to be a teacher in the future. In addition, she is still seriously preparing for the &”;Ten Items&”;&”;Graduation Examination&”;, which combines storytelling, self-playing, self-singing, impromptu dancing, lectures and other content with practical experience, and tamps it for the second time, so as to better apply what you have learned to practical work. In Inner Mongolia Preschool Teachers College for Nationalities, there are not a few students who have benefited from off-campus practice like Liang Jiayu. To this end, the school has not only reached cooperation with more than 70 kindergartens in Erdos, but also set up an off-campus internship period of up to half a year, and implemented the &”;double tutorial system&”;, accounting for more than half of the practical courses. Li Zheng, the chief director of Anqing Road Kindergarten Education Group, Hefei, who has 30 years&; experience in preschool education, said frankly that this move has strengthened the cooperation and communication between colleges and kindergartens, and can effectively bridge the deviation between the talents trained by preschool education majors in vocational colleges and the actual needs of kindergartens. &”;Some kindergartens lack the guidance of advanced concepts, while colleges and universities lack the understanding of real practice fields. If students are trained in an idealized environment and background, they will be&; acclimatized&; when they actually join the job.&”; Li Zheng said that at present, the cooperation between some kindergartens and higher vocational colleges is relatively shallow: as a training base of higher vocational colleges, kindergartens receive students from schools for probation and internship. In this kind of cooperation, kindergartens are in a relatively passive state, and there is no way to deeply participate in the training of talents in schools. To solve this bottleneck, teachers in higher vocational colleges should be encouraged to exchange jobs with preschool teachers. Li Zheng suggested that, in a certain period of time, the backbone teachers of kindergartens should go into college classrooms and present practical problems with vivid and vivid cases, so that students can have a deeper understanding of kindergartens; Teachers in colleges and universities go deep into kindergartens, know the development trends of kindergartens in real time, understand the teaching ideas and situations of kindergartens, and apply advanced ideas to the actual life and teaching of kindergartens. Cai Hefang, a member of Anhui Provincial Political Consultative Conference and a professor at the School of Literature and Communication of Chizhou College, also called for schools and kindergartens to &”;trinity&”; to train preschool education talents. Cai Hefang suggested that a working organization composed of preschool education experts, professional leaders, key teachers of schools and kindergartens in teaching and research institutions could be set up to investigate the talent demand, revise the training plan, organize the teaching team, establish a training base and evaluate the quality of talent training. In addition, regular joint meetings attended by education authorities, preschool education experts, school education and teaching leaders, and kindergarten directors are held to discuss pre-service and post-service training of preschool teachers, design curriculum standards, optimize curriculum system, build curriculum resources, conduct teaching research, and evaluate training quality. In addition to strengthening cooperation in daily teaching and practice, &”;order class&”; has also become a breakthrough in some higher vocational colleges. Lu, who studied at the School of Elementary Education of Lanzhou Vocational and Technical College, benefited a lot from it. After entering the school in 2019, after selection, she entered the &”;Big Love Class&”; run by the school in cooperation with Beijing Daai Preschool Education Group. Here, this post-00 professional knowledge and practical skills have been continuously improved, and he achieved excellent results in the storytelling contest held in September this year. With confidence, not long ago, she took the initiative to plan a rhythmic competition, which made teachers and classmates look at each other with new eyes. Elementary education in Lanzhou Vocational and Technical CollegeAccording to Li Jiancheng, deputy dean of the institute, this is an innovation of the institute in exploring the &”;modern apprentic—— enterprises are deeply involved in the training of students and work with the school to formulate talent training programs; Select employees to serve as class teachers in schools and undertake the teaching work of enterprises; The two sides have joined forces to connect some high-quality teaching resources nationwide. In the past two years, Lu studied the Great Love Creative 3.0 course published by Beijing Normal University Press, and under the guidance of a senior kindergarten director, she got to know the course of home interaction and communication. In addition, she can get a lot of new ideas and knowledge in the &”;Spark Academy&”; system developed by the company for free. &”;If you learn your skills, your heart will be practical.&”; Now, Lu has more confidence in his future development. However, with the rapid development of preschool education, the reporter found that not every student can be as &”;confident&”; as Lu in higher vocational colleges with preschool education-related majors. Li Jiancheng admits that in the past 10 years, higher vocational colleges have trained a large number of preschool education professionals as the main force, and the employment professional counterpart rate is relatively high. However, after students join the job, there will be turnover behavior from time to time, which is reflected in the employment tracking service system of the school. He believes that this is related to the fact that higher vocational students can&;t meet the entry conditions of public parks, and the wages of private parks are low. &”;There is a certain gap between personal life status, social status, income, and one&;s own efforts, which leads to some preschool teachers&; low sense of identity and difficult realization of professional value.&”; Li Jiancheng said. In order to solve this problem in advance, at present, apart from order training, the School of Elementary Education of Lanzhou Vocational and Technical College accurately connects with the market, continuously refines the professional classification and improves the course quality. At present, the directions of early childhood development and health management, applied English and performing arts have been set up. In addition, the school strengthens the guidance of students&; career planning, holds campus job fairs, invites experts to interpret the employment trend, and the first-line kindergarten directors guide the pre-job training, so that students can adapt to the market faster and have a smaller distance after graduation. In 2019, Lanzhou Vocational and Technical College took the lead in setting up Gansu Preschool Education Vocational Education Group, giving full play to the scale effect and strengthening the exchanges and cooperation between production and education, schools and enterprises, and schools. After one year&;s development, 83 units have participated in it, realizing resource sharing and complementary advantages. At present, the group takes the initiative to train the kindergarten teachers who have already joined the job, so as to improve the overall level of kindergarten teachers. The &”;order class&”; has also solved the urgent need of enterprise employees to a certain extent. Qi Youyuan, the director of Tianjin Minjin Pragmatic Preschool Education Group, told reporters that in order to ensure the teachers of seven kindergartens in the group, at present, they have established long-term cooperative relations with Hebei Vocational College of International Business and Economics, Lanzhou Vocational and Technical College and other higher vocational colleges, through campus recruitment and order training. Yu Yuan believes that part of the reason why preschool teachers can&;t stay is that short pre-job training can&;t make every job seeker fully understand the curriculum system of the enterprise, and the understanding of the enterprise culture is not deep enough. In addition, most of the school&;s learning is based on learning theory, and after the real practice unit, there areFor a long time, many &”;pre-kindergarten teachers&”; will show symptoms of acclimatization, both emotionally and technically. In view of this, many mature kindergartens began to pay attention to the training of professional teachers. Tianjin Minjin Pragmatic Preschool Education Group has a set of its own training system. In the form of &”;online courses+offline courses&”;, the higher vocational students who accept the order training can get to know the course system, management mode, salary structure and promotion channels of the enterprise as soon as possible, and the construction of teachers&; morality and ethics has also been further strengthened. &”;Seamless docking omits the process of adaptation, which is the core of school-enterprise cooperation.&”; Yu Yuan said that by studying early, the time for enterprises to train a qualified preschool teacher can be reduced from the past two years or so to six months or even months. To this end, Pragmatic Preschool Education Group has also provided scholarships for some students in order classes, expecting to form a joint force with the school and do a good job in quality education. &”;The ultimate goal of higher vocational colleges is to solve the problem of professionalization.&”; Yu Yuan suggested that higher vocational colleges should land before landing when running schools. &”;The deeper and more comprehensive the school-enterprise cooperation is, the more favorable it will be, which will promote the establishment of the park for us, their discipline construction, curriculum setting and student management&”;. How to attract better talents to connect with the market is a way to improve the quality and quantity of preschool education talents. However, Sun Cheng, the head of the preschool education department of Hefei Preschool Teachers College, bluntly said that there is still a long way to go to thoroughly resolve the pain points of this major, such as serious homogenization tendency, similar training objectives and unclear positioning. Sun Cheng admits that at present, some vocational colleges have misunderstandings in their school-running philosophy. On the one hand, they pay too much attention to art courses, have little education on teachers&; morality, and do not have prominent teachers&; attributes; On the other hand, the pre-school education major is restricted by the enrollment system of college entrance examination, lacking interview links, and teachers&; basic literacy can&;t be assessed. Moreover, due to the low income of kindergarten teachers and their low sense of social identity, the pre-school education major&;s source of students has changed from the previous &”;pinching the top&”; to &”;supporting the bottom&”;. &”;The quality of students affects the quality of training, which also affects the ability of future jobs.&”; Sun Cheng called on relevant departments to improve the examination enrollment system and policies, give priority to pre-school education majors, and encourage and attract more students who like preschool education; Formulate the system of directional enrollment and public subsidy, and carry out special training for preschool teachers in rural areas to expand the scale and scope of free normal students; Increase the support for independent teachers&; colleges, especially preschool teachers&; colleges, and improve the level of normal education guarantee. At the same time, it is necessary to supplement the teaching and administrative staff of public parks in time, and it is strictly forbidden to &”;make up for others&”;. In the absence of establishment, the principle of&; equal pay for equal work&; should be followed, and teachers should be supplemented by &”;purchasing posts&”; according to the treatment of teachers in the establishment, so as to truly realize &”;training better people with excellent people&”;. Dong Gang, vice president of Ningbo Preschool Teachers College, also noticed that at present, some districts, counties and cities set the threshold as &”;bachelor&;s degree&”; when organizing the recruitment of kindergarten teachers, which has a certain &”;impact&”; on the employment of students in higher vocational colleges and the training of talents in related institutions. To this end, he called for the recruitment of kindergarten teachers to give full play to their talents, not just academic qualifications, and the public should also change their concepts and give more outstanding pre-school graduates.Equal opportunities to participate in competition. During the interview, Bao Lizhen expressed the same view. She believed that employers should be cautious in hiring kindergarten teachers and should not blindly emphasize high education. She observed that undergraduate and graduate teachers have a high turnover rate and low professional happiness after teaching in kindergartens. The students at the specialist level are stable and the turnover rate is low. &”;The professional students we have trained can be good children&;s kings, and are very popular among parents and children.&”; In addition, Bao Lizhen particularly emphasized the importance of teacher&;s morality education in the training of preschool education talents. She said that Inner Mongolia Normal College for Children for Nationalities employed more than 30 psychological counseling teams, and conducted systematic three-year psychological growth training for the psychological counseling teams. We also regularly carry out college students&; psychological survey, group psychological training for counselors, crisis intervention and tracking, individual consultation, peer counseling, sand table game therapy and other activities. Elementary Education College of Lanzhou Vocational and Technical College also pays attention to cultivating students&; professional ethics. The school implements the &”;Ideological and Political One Minute&”; activity, which requires teachers to set corresponding ideological and political content in each class in combination with the characteristics of the courses taught, teaching content and teaching objectives, so as to enhance students&; professional moral beliefs. Su Xiushan, head of Shuixie Huadu Kindergarten in Honggu District, Lanzhou, has been involved in the education industry for decades, and has experienced the identity transformation from a public primary school teacher to a private kindergarten head. As an experienced educator, Su Xiushan admits that only by improving the treatment of teachers in private parks and filling in some management shortcomings can educators and private parks who really know their business get long-term development. She believes that higher vocational colleges, as the source of preschool education, should closely combine with the market demand, cultivate comprehensive talents who can broaden their horizons and be competent for the most basic conservation work, and require students to develop in a balanced way, covering five major fields: health, language, society, science and art. After entering the job, the graduates of preschool education major should also be prepared to &”;reinvent themselves&”; and refine their professional skills through mentoring and mentoring. In addition, the relevant departments should strengthen the training of school directors and school operators.
