In recent days, parents have indicated that the prices of public parks for children have increased. Parents of private kindergartens also indicated that they had received notice of price increases. Interviews with journalists revealed that in some cases the fees doubled after the increase in prices for public parks, and in many cases the “water up and boat up” followed by higher prices, which led parents to call “eating.”。
"it's worth more than double the price of a public park."
“the cost of public kindergartens has doubled, too much.” in recent days, a parent of a public kindergarten in the tianbashi district of jenan city has indicated that her children were attending middle school in kindergarten and that the monthly cost did not include meals of $237 and meals of $10 per day。
Recently, she had been informed of the increase in childcare costs. "from $237 to $520 and from $10 to $12 a day." according to the parents, the cost is almost $800 a month. "how does that make you feel?"
In the afternoon, journalists contacted the public kindergarten. According to the director, the price increase was carried out in full compliance with the circular issued by the jinan city price and education board in january of this year, and was not self-inflicted. On 29 january, a joint circular was issued by the chinan city price authority and the department of education. On 1 march, the prices of public kindergartens in the provinces and cities increased, with the full financial allocation of public gardens being increased from $126 to $237 per child per month to $200 to $400 per child。
The director of the park told journalists that “because we do not have any financial resources, we are required to float up to 30 per cent, which is $520”. The director said that the daily cost of meals was also based on this standard。
Although the increase in prices has made parents of young children “insufferable”, the director of the public garden said to journalists that “it is also difficult” and that the current rate is sufficient to maintain the operation of kindergartens。
Journalists interviewed some of the public kindergartens in the provinces and cities to learn that most of them are currently applying to the price department for procedures that will increase prices。
There's a lot of money going on in public
Citizen ms. Lee's children attend a private kindergarten class at maquois springs road in the lower district. Last week, the kindergarten parents meeting informed her that the cost of childcare education had increased from next month, plus $330 per month for meals, totalling $1180. “when attending kindergarten in march 2010, the cost of meals was only $590 per month.”
On 18 january, the journalist contacted this private kindergarten, as reflected by ms. Lee. The head of the park stated that it had not gone up, but had been costed and filed with the price department. “the last time i went to the price department was in march 2011, when it expired on 4 march, so the cost was recalculated.” she said that, in accordance with the new regulations in the price sector, after re-filing, kindergarten would not be adjusted for three years。
“deprivation of $330 for meals, which amounts to over 800, is already cheaper than other private kindergartens in the neighbourhood.” the director stated that as a private park, there was no subsidy and the costs were higher. “the costs of rent, teacher's salary, insurance, utilities, heating, etc. Are derived from the teaching costs.” the officer-in-charge said, “no more money, no more salaries for teachers, no more motivation”
According to ms. Tung, who lived in the golden age district of gao xin, her child was about to enter the garden, and she had recently consulted a nearby private kindergarten where the cost of meals was close to $2,000 per month, making her silly. "it's unbearable to hear that prices are going to increase."
“there is no rent to pay for public kindergartens, and there are subsidies, all of which have increased prices, and it is even more important for private gardens to increase.” the director of a private kindergarten in another provincial city told journalists that the increase in the prices of the public garden would certainly be an opportunity for many private kindergartens to increase their prices. “in particular, special classes will not be allowed in the future, construction fees will not be collected and prices will not increase and are difficult to sustain.”
It is understood that, under the provisions of the jinan municipal price and education sectors, fees for public kindergartens in the provinces and cities are still subject to file management and autonomous pricing. At the same time, whatever the nature of the kindergarten, the fees may not be adjusted for three years after approval and filing by the price department。
