The teacher to student ratio had been set, but, there's no written rule of at least two early childhood professional caretakers per preschool classroom setting, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The Preschool All Over the Island Has the "Half-a-Classroom Functional" Problems
Currently in the preschool classes here, there are usually two early childhood educators, to allow the instructors of the classroom to have the needed support from the early childhood educators, and vice versa, but recently, the N.F.T.U. received the complaints, that a lot of the cities and counties, when adding more preschools to the districts, would use the "half-a-class" human resources means, causing some of the classes with only one early childhood assistant, who can only keep the eyes on half the class, calling out to the Department of Education to amend the "early childhood education and care laws" to resolve the wayward situation of "half-a-class being taken care of" in preschools.
Based off of the current regulations, the student to teacher ratio for three-to-five-year-old preschool classes is one adult to fifteen children, with the maximum number of students being thirty, meaning, that two nursery workers per thirty children; the two-year-old classes, with a student limit of sixteen children, the teacher to student ratio being one to eight.
this is how foreign countries do it...but apparently, this "country" can't catch up to the "games"...from onine
But the N.F.T.U. stated, that the early childcare laws only followed the teacher to student ration, without making sure of the two early childhood caretakers per class, causing there to be "half-a-class" in a lot of the counties and cities when they added more preschools to the districts, meaning, that they're only taking in half of what's required as the total of students, and only had one early childhood classroom help.
Based off of the survey conducted by N.F.T.U., it'd been found, that this is happening across the whole island, the C.E.O. Hou suspected, that this may be caused by how the local government saves up on the cost of hiring the early childhood educators, he can't come up with other possible reasons for this.
The N.F.T.U. said, that children under age six needs the nursery care workers around them at all times, if there's only one adult in a classroom, there's no way of ensuring every child's safety. There are teachers who'd stated, that in the "half-a-class" systems, there are the sudden onsets of emergencies, for instance, a child vomited and needed to have the place sanitized completely, or a child has diarrhea, or arguments between children, with only one certified caretaker, there's no way that the adult can manage an entire class full of children. And this will get worse in the classes of two-year-olds.
On this, the Department of Education stated, that it will supervise the local governments, to have the preschools hire by the regulations of the law, and consider the actual needs of the schools individually, to adjust the number of teacher per classroom.
And so, this is still how SLOW the Department of Education is to response to this teacher-to-student ratio "thing". And, it seemed that the Department of Education, just like all the government agencies under the D.D.P., keep missing out on the "memos", I mean, it IS, common sense that the younger the age group is, there's the lower teacher to student ratio, and as the kids grow older, then, there would be more number of students getting supervised by a school instructor, and yet, this god damn government is slow to respond to this problem that is coming up to the surface in early childhood education here.
