【新唐人2011年3月9日讯】最近中国湖南省长沙市成立了一所“贵族幼儿园”，除了全英语教学外，还提供马术、高尔夫球等课程。而江西省调查发现，当地有五成以上的“农村幼儿园”根本没有办学校的条件，过半是“无证办学”，中国媒体报导，长期以来政府在幼儿学前教育上投入少，形成公办园俏、民办园贵、非法园乱的现象。
湖南长沙《潇湘晨报》上个月报导，由香港财团投资设立的这所贵族幼儿园，除了全英语教学，他们还设计了马术、高尔夫球，及中西方礼仪等贵族课程，七成师资是来自美国、英国或阿拉伯联合大公国的外籍人士，连洗衣、做饭、清洁的阿姨都是会讲外语的菲佣。目前有意报名的20多名学生的家长都是高收入人士。学校没有安排校车，因为学生家里都有司机接送他们上学。
这所贵族幼儿园如果只有白天上课，每月收费6000多元人民币，晚上要寄宿的学生，费用超过7000元，而且最少要先交半年学费，约2万9千元。
而上个月江西《江南都市报》的报导，当地有高达53.6%的“农村幼儿园”根本没有办学校的条件，过半数是无证办学，有许多是农村青年利用自家的院子搭建而成，教师大多没有资格证书。
江西省南昌县调查发现，城区幼儿园最严重的问题是资源不足，加上公办幼儿园严重不足，幼儿入园率只有6.67%。
问题不仅如此，《江南都市报》记者采访了一位王先生，他说去年下半年他花了7000元的赞助费，送女儿进入了江西省一所知名保育院。王先生说，如果是本单位职工的小孩入园则不用交赞助费，如果是单位职工的第二代小孩，要交一半的赞助费，他们是“外人”，虽然总算挤进去了，但赞助费要全额缴纳。这所保育院在2006年时的赞助费为3900元，2007年涨到4200元，一路涨到去年的7000元。
江苏省《现代快报》报导，公办幼儿园太少，已成为中国社会的一大问题。
据统计，以南京为例，当地共有501所幼儿园，教育系统办园只有89所。南京还有所谓的四大名园，想进入这样的公办幼儿园，对一般家庭来说，难度不是一般的大。比如南京一家知名的公办幼儿园要招收80个孩子，光是打招呼的条子就收到800多张。据说有的甚至要由区领导决定谁能入园。虽然有民办的贵族幼儿园，但广大民众实在难以负担天价一般的学费。

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.
