Boys want to be preschool teachers too

Male candidates line up for interviews at a preschool in Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu province, May 29, 2010. Three cities in the province, Nanjing, Suzhou and Xuzhou, extended their support to preschool education by enrolling male junior high school students, who will be specially trained for preschool education free of charge for five years. During the two-day interview, the number of candidates in Nanjing jumped to 2,500, exceeding the predicted rate of competition of 300 to 1, which is tougher even than the hotly contested civil service jobs.
