Through the word cloud map, it can moreintuitively reflect the community's attention for preschool education inchildren. But what is the concern behind the Chinese kindergarten?
The number of young children is disproportionate to the number of kindergartens

Theratio has been infinitely close to the maximum number of students in the class.However, the sample size of the sample is a sample included the small class andthe medium class. The average value obtained is obviously higher than theprescribed value, which is beyond the stipulation of the Ministry of Education.The top five provinces of ratio are Jiangsu, Guizhou, Ningxia, Yunnan., whichhad exceeded 31. And all of them belong to China's inland areas except Jiangsu.
