Relying on existing primary and secondary schools and integrating social resources, Miyun County in Beijing established Children's Palace in rural schools, so that children in every township have a place to study science, technology, art and sports.

Why should the country children's palace be built in a school? Where do the teachers from the rural children's palace come from? Do children in the mountains like these country children's palaces? With these questions, the reporter visited two of them on the spot.

Starting from Miyun County, it takes about 40 minutes to drive to the southeast. The reporter came to Dongshaoqu Town Central Primary School. Principal Wang Wanxia said: "Although we are only a township primary school, at present, the school has opened 36 interest learning programs."

Entering the teaching building is the time for students to participate in community activities. Guzheng club, the teacher leads the children to practice ancient music. In the drama classroom, the teacher is teaching the third and fourth grade students to sing excerpts from Hanging the Red Lantern High. In Wang Wanxia's most proud calligraphy club, dozens of students sit at the table and write one by one.

Wang Wanxia introduced that the school officially became the off-campus education activity station of Miyun County Rural Children's Palace in September 2008; 20 1 1 10 In June, the school became the first batch of children's palaces for rural schools in Beijing supported by the central special lottery fund. From 3: 30 pm to 5 pm from Monday to Thursday, it is the activity time of Children's Palace. In addition to the teachers in our school, the school also hired seven experts. At present, not only the participation rate of students in school reaches 100%, but also it is open to other schools in the region.

Tanying Manchu and Mongolian Primary School is located in Tanying, one of the five major ethnic townships in Beijing. At present, there are 8 15 students in school, including nearly 30% minority students. President Guo said: "The school became an activity station for rural after-school education in Beijing in 20 12. We adhere to the school-based, open to all, open all year round. Facilities and courses are open not only to all local registered children in the region, but also to non-Beijing children in the region. "

On the school playground, students dressed in national costumes showed reporters the fencing and boxing of Mongolian and Manchu. Entering the music classroom, the children of Ma Touqin Band are rehearsing famous Mongolian songs. Guo said that many non-Beijing children in the school have never attended art classes, and I am also very happy to hear that the school allows children to study for free after class. Just last year, two students were admitted to Beijing International Art School, and even the hukou problem was solved.

Zhang Wenliang, secretary of the Education Committee of Miyun County, said that 83% of Miyun County is mountainous, and 73% of its primary and secondary schools are located in towns and villages. Rural education is an important part of Miyun basic education. There is only one off-campus education institution in Miyun County Education Committee system, which is far from meeting the needs of students in the county to participate in off-campus activities. However, after the adjustment of the national basic education layout, Miyun County has realized that every township has a central primary school and a complete middle school.

"In 2007, we began to explore the mode of off-campus teaching activities in mountainous areas, and conducted a pilot project in Taishitun Town Central Primary School, 35 kilometers away from the county seat. We set up the first off-campus activity station-Miyun Youth Palace Taishitun Primary School Juvenile Home, and set up four interest groups: calligraphy, painting, chorus and dance. The Youth Palace sends excellent teachers to the school for counseling every Wednesday afternoon, which is warmly welcomed by parents and students. " Zhang Wenliang said that there are currently 1 1 municipal off-campus activity stations in the county, among which Dongshaoqu Town Central Primary School, Mujiayu Town Central Primary School and Taishitun Town Central Primary School have been named "Children's Palace for Rural Schools" by the Beijing Municipal Education Commission and the Capital Civilization Office.

In order to encourage teachers to participate in students' quality education, Miyun County Education Committee has formulated special policies. Teachers' work in rural children's palace was recorded in teachers' performance appraisal, giving priority to evaluation, which well mobilized teachers' enthusiasm.

Zhang Wenliang said that there are few educational resources in rural areas. Compared with children in the city, children in the mountains lack confidence the most. After participating in off-campus education activities, "children in the mountains have increased their skills, won honors, and become more confident in meeting guests." We strive to have a rural school children's palace in every township in the county by 20 15. "
