How to solve the problem of choosing schools in compulsory education stage
Abstract: In recent years, the phenomenon of school choice is quite common in primary and secondary schools all over the country, which has set off a "school choice fever". The phenomenon of choosing schools has its special social reasons, but this phenomenon violates the principle of educational equity and leads to various educational problems, which is not conducive to comprehensive education in the compulsory education stage. At present, only through scientific strategies can we solve this problem and promote education. Keywords: reasons for choosing a school; Negative effects; With the progress and development of society, people pay more and more attention to educational equity, and the methods and measures to promote equity are also widely discussed. However, the problem of choosing schools in recent years has greatly hindered the development of educational equity. We should seriously think about its causes, carefully analyze its impact, take effective measures to actively guide and manage, and promote educational equity. 1. Reasons for choosing a school 1. Education caused by many contradictions in the process of economic and social development develops with the development of society and serves the economy and society. The emergence of school choice education is also closely related to society. There are many contradictions in the process of social development, and many contradictions are intertwined, which leads to the phenomenon of choosing schools. (1) Social development cannot fully meet people's growing spiritual and cultural needs. With the improvement of material living standards, people pay more and more attention to spiritual and cultural needs, hoping to continuously improve their own quality. In education, people are eager for future generations to receive higher quality education, so as to enhance the ability needed by society and constantly improve their personality. However, China's economic development has not yet reached the level of developed countries, and its available resources are limited, which cannot meet the needs of all people. This is one of the fundamental reasons for school choice. (2) The distribution of quality education resources in compulsory education is uneven. The unbalanced economic development in the primary stage of socialism leads to the uneven distribution of quality education resources. From the perspective of urban and rural areas, rural compulsory education lacks the necessary teaching resources and the education level is low. Relatively speaking, cities have high economic level, high support and attention, and gathered more high-quality educational resources, so more and more rural children choose to study in cities. From the school's point of view, there are huge differences in education and teaching because there are key schools and non-key schools in China. A well-run key school has become the first choice for parents. This also shows that the imbalance and difference of social development is an important reason for the "school choice fever", and its existence is objective and inevitable. 2. The education policy is not perfect, which exposes many disadvantages in practice. On the one hand, the key school system formulated under the background of "exam-oriented education" is the most important reason for undermining the educational equity and the balanced development of compulsory education; On the other hand, the nearest admission system for school choice can curb the phenomenon of school choice to a certain extent, but both theory and practice are not enough to fundamentally solve the problem. After entering the school nearby, students have no right to choose junior high school regardless of their grades. From this point of view, admission to the nearest school is not fairer than admission according to grades, and it is more helpful to realize the equality of educational opportunities, and it may not be more effective to improve the quality of the whole compulsory education. On the other hand, the education administrative department has not fully implemented the education policy. As the main body of education policy, the administrative department of education has a hidden implementation process and lacks functions. It cannot fully implement the principles and policies formulated by the state, causing some people to take advantage of the loopholes and choose schools for their children through power and money. The increasing pressure of survival and employment makes parents have to choose schools for their children. At this stage, due to a series of social reasons, a large number of surplus labor forces have emerged, which has become a major problem affecting the development of the country and individuals. In order to make children develop more smoothly and win at the starting line, parents have chosen schools for their children in the compulsory education stage. I hope that children can be in a favorable position in the fierce social competition by receiving quality education. 4. The school's pursuit of its own economic interests has also prompted the emergence of school choice. Due to the lack of government investment in education, in order to improve school conditions and teaching level, some schools supplement school funds by charging school selection fees, which is also a reason for the enduring school selection. Second, the negative impact of school choice 1. It leads to the emergence of new social injustice, which is not conducive to the construction of a harmonious socialist society. Equality of educational opportunities is one of the manifestations of educational equity. It refers to giving citizens and children equal educational opportunities. It is required to select and recruit students with objective and fair standards and scientific methods, and abolish all unequal rules and regulations. 2. It aggravates the gap between schools in the compulsory education stage. For key schools, on the one hand, the number of students in the school will increase because of the high quality of teaching; On the other hand, charging a high school selection fee will make the education funds of key schools more adequate and the conditions for running schools better. On the contrary, non-key schools are facing great difficulties and their enthusiasm for running schools has been dampened because they do not have enough students and educational funds. The huge difference in teaching resources of school-running subjects will lead to more unfair education, which is not conducive to the normal development of society. 3. It has brought bad influence to the physical and mental development of some students. Paying school fees can get a higher quality education, which will make children feel that money is everything and money can solve all problems, thus distorting their world view. 4. Corruption in the education administration often hides a huge and powerful interest chain and a corruption case behind the school selection fee system. Due to the lack of a strong supervision mechanism, these corruption cases are also related to government departments, and the emergence of more and more school choices has also aggravated the corruption of education administrative departments. Third, the strategy to solve the "school choice problem" 1. Give play to the role of government in regulating and guiding education (1) The government should strengthen legislation and law enforcement, and use legal means to stop the further expansion of school choice. In legislation, we should ensure the scientific and practical nature of the law; In law enforcement, we must ensure the transparency of the process and the fairness of the results. The central government guides the formulation, implementation and supervision of laws from a macro perspective, and local governments should guarantee and promote the operation of laws. (2) The government increases investment in education, rationally allocates high-quality educational resources, and the state gives support to weak schools. By setting up special funds for the construction of weak schools, we will give priority to ensuring the funds for the construction of weak schools and strive to narrow the gap between compulsory education schools. (three) the implementation of the principal teacher flow system, and strive to promote the balanced allocation of quality teacher resources. The floating system of principals can make educational ideas and school-running models exchange and learn from each other, and further improve the teaching process. The teacher flow system is to implement the teacher flow between school districts and urban areas, and the backbone teacher resources are shared by school districts. The regional mobility of principals and teachers is not only convenient for management, but also can promote educational equity, which is feasible. 2. Learn from foreign scientific school selection system. The school selection system in Europe and America is well implemented and has many merits. We can learn from the actual situation in China and make the school selection system in China more perfect. 3. On the premise of ensuring school-age children and adolescents to enter public schools nearby, developing private education and providing choices, a group of parents with strong supply ability and strong desire for high-quality educational resources are being born in the governance of compulsory education in contemporary China. On the premise of ensuring that all school-age children can enter school nearby, we should vigorously develop all kinds of private education to meet people's needs. The function of private education is to realize the diversification of educational models and training objectives and meet the diversified needs through the competition of various systems. 4. Parents should choose schools rationally according to their children's personality and wishes. As parents of students, they should not blindly choose schools, but must respect their children's wishes. In daily life, we should be good at discovering children's specialties and interests and cultivating them. Every child has his own bright spot. Parents should choose schools according to their children's personality and strengths. A school suitable for children's development is a good school. Don't blindly pursue famous schools, otherwise it will be counterproductive and hinder the healthy development of children. 5. Establish a diversified supervision mechanism (1) for students and parents to supervise the school. Students and parents have a close relationship with the school, have a clear understanding of the school's working conditions, and can comprehensively supervise the implementation of the school selection system and policies. The parental supervision mechanism can standardize the school work flow and reduce the unreasonable school selection problem. (2) Supervision by Public Opinion Due to the timeliness and universality of TV, Internet and other media, the influence of public opinion is growing. Use public opinion to supervise the process and way of school selection, expose and expose bad places, and enhance the transparency and legitimacy of school work. (3) Inter-school mutual supervision The implementation of mutual supervision among school-running entities can improve their enthusiasm and standardization and promote healthy competition between schools. Through mutual supervision, schools at all levels can be guaranteed to develop in the right direction of education, reduce unreasonable educational behaviors, and help solve the problem of school selection.
