Introduction
Recently, a video has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms featuring a kindergarten located in a less developed area in China where children don't have access to high-quality education resources. The video shows how the kindergarten teacher, who is also an English teacher, has to wear a shorter skirt to grab the attention of the children. This scene has spurred a fierce debate regarding the problem of resource allocation in China's education system, especially early childhood education. On the other hand, there has been a growing trend in China, where many young people are interested in Western humanities and arts, which is also reflected in the popularity of vlogging. Thus, this article aims to discuss the issues regarding education resources allocation in China and balancing cultural diversity, through the lens of the viral video and the current popular trend of vlogging.
Education Resources Allocation in China
The kindergarten mentioned in the viral video is located in a less developed area in China, where it's challenging to allocate education resources for children. The fact that the kindergarten teacher needs to wear a shorter skirt to grab children's attention reflects the shortage of education resources in China, not only in less developed areas but also in urban areas. China's education resources distribution system puts a lot of emphasis on exam-oriented education, which has led to a less inclusive and diverse education environment, especially in early childhood education.
Importance of Western Humanities and Arts
The growing trend of young Chinese people's interest in Western humanities and arts reflects a broader cultural diversity issue in China, especially for the younger generation. The Chinese education system has traditionally been exam-oriented, where students need to focus on math, science, and other subjects to pass entrance exams to go to better schools. However, many young people are now starting to realize that it's not all about the exam scores and that they want a more diverse education and cultural exposure. This growing trend is particularly evident in the popularity of vlogging where many young people record their daily lives and share their thoughts with others on social media platforms.
The Challenge of Balancing Education Resources Allocation and Cultural Diversity
The viral video depicts the hardships of providing quality education resources to children in less developed areas in China, which is a significant challenge for China's education system. At the same time, the growing trend of interest in Western humanities and arts highlights the necessity of providing a more diverse and inclusive education environment. It's crucial to balance these two challenges, as both are essential for creating a future society that values education and cultural diversity. One way to address this challenge is to invest more in early childhood education and provide teachers with more professional development opportunities to improve the quality of education provided to children.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the viral video of the kindergarten teacher wearing a shorter skirt to grab children's attention has highlighted the problems of education resource allocation in China, especially in less developed areas. However, as many young people in China show a growing interest in Western humanities and arts, the need for a more diverse and inclusive education environment is becoming increasingly important. Balancing the allocation of education resources and cultural diversity is a significant challenge, and there is no easy solution. However, investing more in early childhood education and providing more professional development opportunities for teachers would be a good start towards addressing these pressing issues in China's education system.
