A Research On Price Regulation Of Urban Private Kindergartens

That the market force penetrates into and gradually spreads in pre-school education, has broken the single pattern of government supplying pre-school service. The price is thec oreprobl em of market economy, epically in the present postureof shortageof public pre-school education resources, that what standard should private kindergartens charge by is an important economic lever of adjusting the totalqu antity and structure of pre-school education resources. Actually social organizations often couldn't carry on the complete market regulation to pre-school education service, this relies on government's reasonable price regulation and corresponding policy. Because of many factors, there is great defective in government'spri ce regulation of pre-school education market, asa result, in recent years, the tuition fees of private kindergartens have stayed at t high levelwit h to rising on and on, it causes serious damage to children receiving pre-school education equally, and has bad influence on that China realizes the goal of popularizing pre-school education.First of all, that the regulation legislation of private kindergartens is imperfect destroyed the execution basis of government's price regulation from the root; the second, the information asymmetry between private kindergartens and Price Bureau reduced power of kindergartens'restraining costs, but increased motivation of transferring the invisible costs; the third, that regulation organizations'selfish desire inflated, so as to abuse regulation rights, and the limitation of effective regulation, caused price regulation to be out of order inevitably; last, that children's parents, as the consumer community,who couldn't be ignored, just had little effect, weakened interactive equalization of price regulation between kindergartens and children's parents. There are so many obstacles that the mechanism paralysis of price regulation at each level was intensified.Private kindergartens are important newly emerging forces in our present national conditions, so if governmentsw ant to put the innovation of institutional arrangement about price regulation into effect truly, they must standard their behaviors by law, and restrain their authority to cut the odds of breakdown of government regulation impeding the development of market. At the meanwhile, they have to integrate the social welfare about children receiving pre-school education and the development of kindergartens to balance the equity and efficiency, on the one hand, they have to establish the mechanism of kindergartens how to control costs and take the demand structure and difference in welfare distribution of children's families into consideration to protect the rights and interests of children, on the other hand, they have to reinforce the effective incentive to private kindergartens to optimize the allocation of resources and play the role of market price mechanism positively. Only in this way, we can promote to increase the total welfare ofc hildren, and healthy development of private pre-school education, to solve the problem,"the children can hardly afford to go to school or they are schooled at a great cost", that attracts the attention of society to a certain degree, during the current transition period while the nation are unable to construct massive public kindergartens with fair price to make pre-school education popularity-oriented and obligation-oriented a reality in a short time.
