Wang Dinghua, director of the Department of Basic Research of the Ministry of Education, said that the fever of choosing schools needs to address both the symptoms and the root causes. "First of all, we should continue to promote the balanced development of compulsory education, encourage qualified areas to try out regional balance, and at the same time rapidly expand high-quality teaching resources through school alliances, group schools, and division of university areas. This is the fundamental policy. "
Expert opinion:
"I think the fundamental way to solve the problem of school choice is also supply-side reform." Tao Xiping, adviser to the governor of the state, believes that the fundamental reason for choosing a school is the contradiction between supply and demand and the shortage of high-quality teaching resources. Admission to the nearest school is a measure to control demand. The next step is to provide more schools and open more resources to meet the demand.
For example, public schools in Shanghai are responsible for ensuring the basics, and private schools provide choices. Beijing's collectivization and school alliance are all good methods.
