<h1>2 minutes to play 4 young children, including the head of the kindergarten son</h1>
It is understood that this incident occurred on October 22, Anshun, Guizhou. After Ms. Chen returned home that day, she found that the child Xiaoliang's right face was red and swollen and there were 3 scratches, so Ms. Chen asked to check the kindergarten monitoring. Ms. Chen found that teacher Xiao mou beat 4 young children within 2 minutes, including the son of the head of the kindergarten.
Ms. Chen said that Xiao Liang went to the podium to hand in her homework, but did not know where to put the homework book, so she stood in the same place and pondered. The teacher pressed the child to the ground and slapped him on the head. What makes people even more angry is that the child was beaten by the teacher in the morning, and in the afternoon he was punished by the teacher for more than two hours.

This kindergarten did not have the qualification to run the school.

What happened to our teachers?
<h1>Low education and unlicensed employment are the current situation of preschool teachers</h1>
One after another kindergarten outbreaks of "child abuse" incidents, let everyone extra heart-wrenching! Many netizens have called for qualified professional kindergarten teachers to care for children so that children can grow up healthily, are parents at ease? Reality may not be what you think.
Both the Teachers Law of the People's Republic of China and the Professional Standards for Preschool Teachers clearly point out that those engaged in the profession of preschool teachers must obtain kindergarten teacher qualifications and should have graduated from a kindergarten normal school or above. But this is not the case. Let's first look at a set of data that reveals the situation of some kindergarten teachers -
According to the "Special Evaluation Report on Preschool Education" released by the Ministry of Education at the end of 2015, 66% of teachers with college degree or above in 2014 and less than 50% in rural areas; 61% of teachers with preschool education qualification certificates, 17% of non-preschool education teachers with qualification certificates, 22% of unlicensed teachers, and 44% of unlicensed teachers in rural areas. According to other data, the total number of kindergarten teachers and staff in the country in 2016 was 3.818 million, there were 2.498 million kindergarten directors, full-time teachers, and professional and technical professionals, 0.27% of master's degrees, 20.91% of undergraduate degrees, 56.4% of college degrees, 20.56% of high school degrees, and 1.89% of high school degrees.
In a kindergarten in Baoding, Hebei Province, a "teacher" picked up the child and hung it on the wall
According to the Voice of China's Global Chinese Broadcasting Network, the liberalization of the two-child policy will have a profound impact on the field of preschool education. Survey research shows that from 2019 onwards, the number of children in kindergartens in China's preschool education stage has increased significantly, and it has continued to increase to the maximum in 2021. The data shows that the number of school-age children in the preschool education stage will increase by about 15 million in 2021, the shortage of kindergartens is expected to be nearly 110,000, and the gap between kindergarten teachers and nurseries is expected to exceed 3 million.
These data show that the current supply of preschool teachers is seriously in short supply, and their education is so low that some teachers are not licensed.
Although in recent years, the state attaches great importance to preschool education, it has designated and adopted a series of policy measures to promote the high-quality development of non-compulsory education at the extreme stage. However, because preschool education is not included in compulsory education, early childhood teachers are not included in the primary and secondary school teacher establishment system, and there are more private parks than public parks, there are still some kindergartens and teachers with incomplete school qualifications. The problems and shortcomings of preschool education have led to the victimization of our children.
<h1>What should we do to protect our children? </h1>
Improving the quality of preschool teachers in a short period of time and completely eradicating the phenomenon of "child abuse" cannot be solved overnight. What exactly should we do to protect our children?
On October 24, 2012, photos of teachers abusing young children in the West Street of Wenling City, Zhejiang Province, were exposed online
We hope that the revision of the Law on the Protection of Minors at the 14th Session of the 13th NPC Standing Committee will be more targeted and deterrent, and severely punish those who cause harm. I also hope that the quality of our teachers can be continuously improved.
Preschool education is a critical period for the formation of children's sense of security, and the abuse that occurs at this time is very likely to cause irreparable harm to the child's life. Such trauma is irreversible for the child's physical and mental development!
As a parent, what can you do to prevent such tragedies from happening? In this regard, the reporter also interviewed Fu Xiaofang, director of the Ugly Duckling Kindergarten in Shijiazhuang City, and Teacher Shang Yajing, a family education instructor.
First of all, we must always keep in touch with the teacher, understand the teacher's character, and observe the teacher's overall situation. At the same time, see what the child's interaction with the teacher is like. For example, the teacher's action is often to hug the child and talk to the child more cordially. If you feel that it is inappropriate to communicate with the kindergarten in time to solve.
On the other hand, parents pay attention to their children's emotions and look at their children's status. If you come back one day very happy, very happy, should be able to rest assured, if there is a problem with the mood, you can communicate with the child in time to understand. Parents can guide their children to talk about what they learned in kindergarten today, how they played with their friends, and whether anything happened that made them happy or unhappy. And try to guide children to talk more, so that parents can understand more about the situation. Some children who are frustrated or abused in kindergarten will show emotions, such as not liking to go to kindergarten, crying, and talking less. Parents must observe these performances of their children in time.
Finally, teach your child to ask for help when they encounter difficulties.
In addition, parents are reminded to carefully consider and choose qualified kindergartens when choosing kindergartens for their children. Parents can pay more attention to the environment in the park, the teacher's communication, the child's performance, if you can take the child to experience the course, it is the best, let the child get close to the teacher, parents can also more intuitively understand the teacher's communication ability, management ability and so on.
