【新唐人2011年3月9日訊】最近中國湖南省長沙市成立了一所「貴族幼兒園」，除了全英語教學外，還提供馬術、高爾夫球等課程。而江西省調查發現，當地有五成以上的「農村幼兒園」根本沒有辦學校的條件，過半是「無證辦學」，中國媒體報導，長期以來政府在幼兒學前教育上投入少，形成公辦園俏、民辦園貴、非法園亂的現象。
湖南長沙《瀟湘晨報》上個月報導，由香港財團投資設立的這所貴族幼兒園，除了全英語教學，他們還設計了馬術、高爾夫球，及中西方禮儀等貴族課程，七成師資是來自美國、英國或阿拉伯聯合大公國的外籍人士，連洗衣、做飯、清潔的阿姨都是會講外語的菲傭。目前有意報名的20多名學生的家長都是高收入人士。學校沒有安排校車，因為學生家裏都有司機接送他們上學。
這所貴族幼兒園如果只有白天上課，每月收費6000多元人民幣，晚上要寄宿的學生，費用超過7000元，而且最少要先交半年學費，約2萬9千元。
而上個月江西《江南都市報》的報導，當地有高達53.6%的「農村幼兒園」根本沒有辦學校的條件，過半數是無證辦學，有許多是農村青年利用自家的院子搭建而成，教師大多沒有資格證書。
江西省南昌縣調查發現，城區幼兒園最嚴重的問題是資源不足，加上公辦幼兒園嚴重不足，幼兒入園率只有6.67%。
問題不僅如此，《江南都市報》記者採訪了一位王先生，他說去年下半年他花了7000元的贊助費，送女兒進入了江西省一所知名保育院。王先生說，如果是本單位職工的小孩入園則不用交贊助費，如果是單位職工的第二代小孩，要交一半的贊助費，他們是「外人」，雖然總算擠進去了，但贊助費要全額繳納。這所保育院在2006年時的贊助費為3900元，2007年漲到4200元，一路漲到去年的7000元。
江蘇省《現代快報》報導，公辦幼兒園太少，已成為中國社會的一大問題。
據統計，以南京為例，當地共有501所幼兒園，教育系統辦園只有89所。南京還有所謂的四大名園，想進入這樣的公辦幼兒園，對一般家庭來說，難度不是一般的大。比如南京一家知名的公辦幼兒園要招收80個孩子，光是打招呼的條子就收到800多張。據說有的甚至要由區領導決定誰能入園。雖然有民辦的貴族幼兒園，但廣大民眾實在難以負擔天價一般的學費。

Kindergartens in China: Two Different Worlds
A newly opened “luxury kindergarten” in Changsha,
Hunan, features full English-medium curriculum,
as well as equestrian and golf courses;
while investigation shows more than half of
kindergartens in rural areas of Jiangxi province
do not qualify for school certifications.
The lack of government funding and regulations
caused such chaotic situation in pre-school education.
According to Xiaoxiang Morning News,
this luxury kindergarten, funded by a Kong Hong
financial group, offers English immersion,
as well as riding and golf courses, with 70% of its faculty
coming from the U.S., UK and UAE.
Even Filipino maids are hired for daily services.
The schools have received over 20 applications
from extremely wealthy families.
The kindergarten charges 6000 Yuan RMB per month
in tuition, over 7000 if boarding is included.
One has to pay for half a year first,
which is around 29,000 Yuan RMB.
A report in Jiangnan Urban News reveals that
53.6% local rural kindergartens do not quality
for school certifications.
Some of these kindergartens are hosted in people』s
backyards, and most teachers are uncertified.
Investigation in Nanchang, Jiangxi, shows that
urban kindergartens are severely underfunded.
Due to the lack of public pre-school resources,
only 6.67% children can attend kindergartens.
A Mr. Wang told reporters that he had to “donate”
7000 RMB last year to send his daughter to
a well-known kindergarten. According to him,
children of the employees at the kindergarten
can attend school for free; while “outsiders”
have to pay “donations”, which was 3900 in 2006,
4200 in 2007, and 7000 in 2010.
Jiangsu newspaper Modern Express said,
the lack of public pre-schools has become
a big problem in China.
Statistics show that in Nanjing, only 89 of 501 local
kindergartens are part of the public school system.
The so-called 4 famous public kindergartens in Nanjing
are extremely selective. For example,
a kindergarten received 800 “back-door applications”
for 80 openings. It is said that the final admission
was decided by the government officials
As to privileged private kindergartens,
most families cannot afford the cost.
