It is understood that in recent years, the boys obvious increase in the number of learning in early childhood education professional, but at present, our employment of men and child education workers in less than 40 persons, of Zhengzhou city in China accounted for more than half , scarcity of male graduates every year, but few truly engaged in early childhood education industry.

A work in early childhood education, by sex, in China and makes men received more attention –

Working status

Few province less than 40 persons

Second kindergarten of Henan provincial Department of Commerce as the meeting of the sponsors, the Park of 6 men kindergarten teachers all participated in this meeting. It is reported that male staff working on early childhood education in our province currently less than 40 persons, Department of Commerce\'s second kindergarten is now has the largest number of male teachers in a kindergarten. Due to the male teacher, and was peer envy this kindergarten. And even then, they where the number of male teachers is only less than one-tenth per cent of school teachers.

\"Men kindergarten teachers too hard to find each year to graduating college students of the time, the province, the national kindergarten are poaching, but real learning in early childhood education professional male students and more reluctant to work in the kindergarten. \" Director Liu Zhijuan said his male teacher in the garden, was very proud.

\"Kindergarten is a woman\'s world, female teachers with students out of lack of masculine gas. In addition, a unit is female, will also have many disadvantages. For example, female psychological characteristics of the most prominent is the expressive than men, more sensitive to any stimulus response, go

od talk behind people, which decided in the environment of a female in the kindergarten, the majority, prone to ganged up, tell of phenomena, many women often wrangling over the little things. \"Liu Zhijuan said, male teachers join, added a new scent, and also played for students \' education and the role of female teachers complement.

Eyes high, boys of kindergarten teachers for another industry

Infant normal school in Zhengzhou (hereinafter referred to as Zhengzhou teachers) a total of 11 male graduates this year, when meeting held April school graduates, kindergartens and around the country performing arts company and these guys signed. But these guys are clearly not anxious for their own \"set for life\", in the fair, the boys very proud: \"not employer in picking our, we picked the employer! ”

Zhengzhou Zheng Kechang describes the student branch of kindergarten teachers, since 2000, Zhengzhou teachers began to recruit men kindergarten teachers, at that time, only one from Xinxiang boys sit for the professional. In recent years, come to sit for the boys more and more, a year is by far the largest number of graduates this year, but it still cannot meet the needs of society, male student employment trends are very good. Because during the school of music, dance, fine art expertise in areas such as culture, together with the boys admitted to the kindergarten teachers are looking more Chun lang, they were also many performing arts company in Shanghai, Beijing hopes to sign objects.

It is understood that the great need of men kindergarten teachers in kindergartens, but many vocational schools in Zhengzhou city, normal professional after graduating from boys engaged in early childhood education and child care are not many in this industry, while on the road to performing arts or the further education of students is more prevalent. \"It is mainly social\" man and aunt \"bias caused by eye. ”

Gender dilemma

Pressure, relatives and frien

ds does not endorse

Learning kindergarten teacher professional men turned to, then the boys and what difficulties had been encountered in this business? Yesterday\'s meeting, since the male teachers say their industry

Sex to their embarrassment.

Zhengzhou public kindergartens from the beginning of 2000, concerning the introduction of a male teacher. But the good times do not last long, the teacher is also resigned from the kindergarten work, a row has been modified. \"I can\'t stand the pressure from all sides,\" he said, many of his men kindergarten teachers have the same pressure and he is not easily recognized by parents, it is difficult to be recognized by society.

\"In fact, the work done by the male in the kindergarten teachers \' work is also very common, but because of sex, it will always be people feel inferior. \" In 2004, Liu Mingyang graduated from Zhengzhou Teachers College, along with two other boys become the first male teacher in the Department of Commerce\'s second kindergarten.

Originally decided to be a male teacher, is for employment consideration. University study in primary education, but was not found receiving school after graduation. \"Kindergarten teacher, we went. \" Liu Mingyang said, after becoming a kindergarten teacher, said they did not dare and three family,\" families in the countryside, families could not be accepted, finally produced a college student, became a kindergarten of \"man and aunt\". ”

In addition to dare and his family said, Liu Mingyang were in the first year, also by their own university students do not understand. \"When we were in school is the Student Union cadres, also very good, several in working as a kindergarten students know for our\" man and aunt \", some think we are quite\" losing \"; some surprised, has found the job too inferior at first, when students gather at a time, and some of us feel very humiliated from the heart. ”
Love and marriage, find objects repeatedly frustrated

Pressure and not only that. Parents for male teachers also cannot be accepted.

In 2005, already has one years working experience of Liu Mingyang began duty on duty officer. But unexpectedly, he still did not meet with parents of children in the class, heard the news of parents has found a Director requirements and replaced with female teachers on the grounds that: male teachers have no female teachers caring, if at

Brutal temper, is likely to hit the child.

Liu Mingyang and parents meet the meeting, introduced to the parents of different male and female teacher. \"I may not have female teacher carefully, but I will certainly more dynamic than female teachers with class. ”

At the same time, on the love issue, male teachers were not smooth.

Wu Lei and Liu Mingyang while the second male kindergarten teachers of the Department of Commerce, both men are of Zhengzhou teachers college students, young man was 25 years old this year, but are not in love on the issue of smooth. \"That we work in the kindergarten of\" man and aunt \", many girls, including their parents would feel that the work is not good, it is to find the appropriate object of a very important reason. \" Liu Mingyang said, teachers \' wages are not high, and because he is male, it is difficult to be completely accepted by society, social status is not high, coupled with a lot of people that are difficult to get rid of old ideas , we now own and male colleagues, in love and marriage are not smooth on the issue.

Working advantage

Dynamic foot will help children to grow up

Liu Mingyang has more than 30 kids in her class, they did not call his teacher, but call him \"COF-fee\", which was his nickname, he hoped that the children with him have no constraints, more free and easy. Addition and female teacher is responsible for the care of the children to dinner, outside the class, male teachers also need active time in the children tried coaxing them to pla

y.

In the \"play\" when teachers will appear different for men and women out. It is reported that female teachers and children to play with some such as childhood games such as smaller games, while the teachers take their children to play with some of the activities of large projects, such as competitive racing. \"Male teacher with a class of children would be more\" crazy \", which is what we want to see, children full of life is a good thing. \" Liu Mingyang said.

In the province, man and child care division of labour based on the kindergarten teachers is different.

Lei Zhu is Jinming industial sports teachers of the kindergarten in Kaifeng city. In 2002, he as the first male nursery teachers into the kindergarten in Kaifeng city, now total of 3 men in his kindergarten teacher. But remain a large number of men engaged in early childhood education as a whole in Kaifeng, Lei Zhu said that he knows is currently about 6 male child care teacher in Kaifeng. Lei Zhu and his male colleagues are taught professional courses, \"I teach physical education, in addition to classes, also responsible for some of the logistical work, participate in the work of the year, but also because is not working hard, willing to male teacher in kindergarten , I went, later found himself really quite like this line\".

And Liu Mingyang kindergarten, male teachers are all in the front line duty. Director of aim male teacher really play to the role of the teacher, \"they are teachers, cannot work because of gender differences.\" Liu Zhijuan said that fact also proves that not only women can do in a career in early childhood education, males can do even better. \"Children, parents are now like the male teacher, dragging many parents want to male teachers taught children transfer to the class, they feel that the child was brought up with a male teacher will be more conducive to the overall development of children on the personality. ”

Masculine, can balance the kindergarten t

eachers team

Relevant data show that in foreign countries, male child care teacher is widespread. Japan about 7% of male teachers in kindergartens, Director almost entirely male; United States about 10% of male teachers in kindergartens, while the proportion of male teachers in China is low, there are many kindergartens are almost all women. In contrast, men and children in recent years teachers in the South also rise in the number, some kindergartens in half the number of male teachers account for all teachers.

It is understood that many include public, private kindergartens in Zhengzhou are now recruiting male teachers, but because of the State-run kindergartens in terms of quality filter more stringent, relatively speaking, the male teachers but rather than State-run kindergartens in the number of private kindergartens. But many private kindergarten just attract parents of recruiting male teachers as \"stand\" male teachers working in the garden of insignificant, quality is uneven.

Yesterday, master of science in preschool education from Shenzhen Lee Chun kit describes himself made a year \"man and aunt\", now has been engaged in a national publicity and business exchanges of men kindergarten teachers work. He said that males join the kindergarten is so concerned about, is the male character, men daring to take risks, active and range of knowledge such as rugged heroic side and woman teacher\'s gentle and delicate side of complementarity, within the work environment of the softness , early childhood education will be normalized.

While in kindergarten this special group, male teacher need to adjust your frame of mind, the most taboo is also being \"assimilation\".
Community calls for

Gap, welcome the more enterprising individuals

It is reported that many although male teachers are introduced in kindergarten, but the number is very small. Coupled with the relatively kindergarten is a more traditional industries, less communicati

on with the other industries, this leads to male teachers narrow scope of human communication, often feel \"alone\".

Liu Mingyang and his male colleagues are beginning a career: they established a Fellowship of men kindergarten teachers in Henan province, want the province of men kindergarten teachers joined, forming a group together to do early childhood education as a long-term undertaking.

Liu Mingyang said, 2004 when he joined the ranks of the kindergarten teachers and two students are not understood by people, while now they SA gradually fell in love with this line, 2005 another student also joined themselves to them, kindergarten this year has attracted two men fresh normal graduates. From the beginning of loneliness, to today\'s 6 man team, he and male colleagues who want to do early childhood education as a career. Less while the preschool education in China, will be in early childhood education

One of the drawbacks. Now, joining organizations of men kindergarten teachers a total of more than 10 people, this figure was somewhat disappointed by their: \"in China, there are more than 20 people in Zhengzhou city, at the door, why can\'t we exchange, how contacts are? Can make up a collective, in addition to business communications, I also hope that we can become a powerful force in the community, involved in more pro bono work, let men kindergarten teachers also receive social recognition and respect. ”
