Is there something fishy about kindergarten lottery?

Kindergarten lottery is a bit tricky.

First, there is uncertainty in the lottery mechanism.

Kindergarten lottery is a fair and just way to enroll students, but there are also uncertainties. Because winning the lottery is completely random, parents often try their luck. The number of places that could have been drawn was lost due to machine failure and other reasons. In some places, there are restrictions on "small-scale kindergartens" and "the proportion of public kindergartens entering the park", which leads to a low chance of winning the lottery.

Second, local forces play an important role in the lottery.

The thorny existence of kindergarten lottery is also related to the role of local power. Local authorities are responsible for formulating specific lottery rules and implementing them. However, some places are prone to mistakes or abuse of power when implementing the lottery rules. For example, in some places, the signature confirmation process stipulated by the lottery is omitted. Due to negligence, the staff directly copied the pages of the parents on their list and put them in a jar, which may miss the children who should have been admitted.

Third, some parents please contact or pay to avoid lucky draw.

In order to get their children into their favorite kindergartens, some parents will take some improper methods to avoid the lottery even if the lottery fails.

Some parents rely on relationships to know or postpone the registration time of community kindergartens and popular public kindergartens in advance under the influence of relationships to take the lead; Other parents spend a lot of money to buy so-called services such as "introducing Sandy" and "quality preschool education resources" in order to let their children choose schools smoothly.

Fourth, management supervision is not in place.

Although some parents will evade the lottery through improper means, it is also related to the inadequate supervision of kindergarten lottery management. Many places lack strict planning and supervision procedures for lottery tickets, leaving an opportunity for criminals.

Fifth, it is very important to reasonably regulate the kindergarten lottery.

In view of the irregularities and tricky situation in kindergarten lottery, we should further improve the pre-school education policy, formulate a more reasonable and standardized kindergarten lottery plan, strengthen the publicity of kindergarten enrollment information, and improve the management and supervision level. At the same time, it also needs extensive publicity and popularization to let more people know how to apply for kindergarten lottery, how to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests and protect the healthy development of preschool education industry.
