This policy applies to children in both private and private preschools, children of workers with labor contracts, and in industrial parks. Of which, the estimated tuition fee is 150,000 VND, lunch is 200,000 VND, the total expenditure for these two items is more than 1,052 billion VND per year.
The above is the content of the draft Resolution on popularizing preschools for children aged 3-5, presented by Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son to the National Assembly Standing Committee on the morning of April 17.
This is good news for workers in industrial parks. If this proposal is applied, workers will be supported to take care of their children.
Workers working in industrial parks, when getting married, one of the big concerns is having young children. Industrial parks do not have kindergartens for workers' children, and if they are sent to good kindergartens, the fee is too high compared to income.
In localities, there are many factories and industrial parks, attracting a large number of workers, while few enterprises invest in preschools. Most workers send their children to spontaneous nannies at cheap prices, leading to many unpredictable consequences, in some cases where children are abused, which is very heartbreaking.
Therefore, with a support of 350,000 VND, workers have a significant amount of money to send their children to a higher quality and safer preschool.
Children receiving quality preschool education are preparing for grade 1 in a ready manner, as Minister Nguyen Kim Son said: "It is necessary to ensure that children have access to quality preschool education; prepare well physically, mentally, emotionally, aesthetically, language and psychologically to be ready to go to school, ensuring quality to enter grade 1".
However, to help workers ensure their children have access to high-quality preschool education, it is not only money, but there must be enough kindergartens to receive children.
Currently, workers have to send their children to nannies spontaneously to facilitate working and traveling hours. If there are kindergartens in areas near factories and industrial parks, workers have more opportunities to send their children to good schools.
Having a school is a matter, but the most important thing for a kindergarten is the teacher. The Ministry of Education and Training forecasts that by 2030, the country will lack about 55,400 preschool teachers.
The reason for the shortage of preschool teachers is due to low salaries, many teachers quit their jobs, many people do not want to follow the profession.
So, to attract preschool teachers to public schools, there needs to be a suitable salary policy, enough for teachers to stick with the profession.
