The private kindergartens in Romania are oriented towards the Asian labor force. Hundreds of educators and caregivers are expected in the country this summer.
In the absence of interest from the Romanian employees, they are expected in the educating and careful country in Indonesia for children in private nurseries and kindergartens. The measure comes in response to the crisis accentuated by qualified personnel from the early education system.
Asia educators will come to us in the country for a starting salary, of 750-800 euros (3,500-4000 lei), according to a recruitment agency. To these amounts add the transport and accommodation part. In contrast, for the Romanian educators the salaries start from 900-1000 euros (4,500-5,000 lei).
People who want to come to Romania initially send a CV to a recruitment agency, then go through a selection process. The selected ones will send a presentation video in which they interact with children, at work. They must speak English at an intermediate level and have studies in the field of education or sociology. The educators then participate in a training program for four months, in a specialized center in Indonesia, where they will hold Romanian language and culture courses and child care.
“The transport and accommodation part is offered by the employers, the adaptation part, after they arrive here, we have teams that will travel to the employer and follow their integration. Indonesia employees will come on a salary of 750-800 euros for the beginning. After evaluation, after 6 months the salary is adapted, to motivate the employees”, Said Yosef Gavriel landisakh, recruitment agency manager, at Pro TV News.
The salaries in private kindergartens start from 4,500-5,000 lei, says Ana Călugăru, communication manager of recruitment platform.
“If when we talk about educators or teachers, especially in private kindergartens, I start somewhere from 4,500-5,000 lei, in the case of Asia staff are slightly lower and certainly one of the reasons why employers, including from this sector, not only from Horeca, Construction, Services, is that it also offers slightly lower costs“, This said for the mentioned source.
