There are too many competitions, too many cottage associations and training institutions, which not only dazzle parents, but also increase students' extracurricular burden.
According to the Measures, which competitions will be cleared? What are the requirements for holding a national competition? Where should we start to reduce the burden on primary and secondary school students and effectively regulate all kinds of competitions? The reporter conducted an interview on this.
Implement inventory management system
The "Measures" require that the organizer (organizer) of the national primary and secondary school competition should be a formal institution compiled by the central government and registered by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and must have legal personality. Organizers must have a good reputation, no bad records, strong professional influence and academic team. In the process of holding the competition, if it is verified that there are illegal acts, which lead to the termination of the competition by the Ministry of Education, the organizers shall not apply for holding the competition again. Before applying for holding a competition, it shall truthfully provide the official application letter of the organizer and the laws, regulations, rules or normative documents on which the activity is based, and at the same time submit the contents including the management team, expert team, funding source, guarantee conditions, avoidance methods, objection handling mechanism, etc. Confidential matters, such as proposition papers and blind evaluation by experts, also include confidentiality measures.
At present, the Ministry of Education has entrusted the China Education Society to undertake the specific acceptance, declaration and initial verification of the national primary and secondary school competition, and accepted the first declaration in September 20 18. From 20 19, according to the provisions of the Measures, the declaration will be accepted in March every year.
In fact, the Ministry of Education has a precedent for the management and access of national competitions. 1997, the then state education commission approved 17 national primary and secondary school students' disciplines, science and technology, ideological education and art competitions; 1998 National Competition for Primary and Secondary School Students 2 1 batch.
In recent years, there are more and more national competitions, and the coverage is getting wider and wider. The reporter found out that the national high school mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and informatics (computer) competition, also known as the "five major disciplines competition", is a national competition with great influence at present. In addition, the National English Proficiency Competition for Primary School Students, the National New Concept Composition Competition, and the Qiu Chengtong Middle School Mathematics Award are also considered to have high "gold content", and the number of applicants for some competitions is as high as 65,438+10,000, which is very well known.
"The chaos of competition activities in the past has a lot to do with the imperfect supervision mechanism. The "Measures" have established and improved the supervision and management mechanism for the whole process of the national primary and secondary school competition. " The relevant person in charge of the Department of Basic Education of the Ministry of Education said that after research, it was confirmed that the national competition for primary and secondary school students was included in the list, which was dynamically adjusted once a year, and those outside the list did not meet the requirements.
The activity cost shall not be passed on, so as to achieve "zero charge"
According to the data of China Education Association, in 20 16, the market size of extracurricular tutoring industry in primary and secondary schools in China exceeded 800 billion yuan, and the number of participants exceeded 654.38+37 million. Among them, competition training accounts for a large part, and the mode of sea tactics and Olympic Games has been "recognized" by some parents.
The relevant person in charge of the Department of Basic Education of the Ministry of Education pointed out that due to the lack of standardized management, some social organizations, enterprises and institutions hold competitions without authorization, some of which have a serious tendency of "taking exams", some are linked to enrollment, and some are even called developing education, in fact, for profit. These various competitions have increased the extracurricular burden of primary and secondary school students and seriously affected the normal education and teaching order.
Reporters randomly logged into official website, a so-called "national-level" competition, and found that they had to pay registration fees to participate in these activities, and some training institutions also offered special training courses.
In this regard, the "Measures" clearly require that the competition should adhere to public welfare and not for profit. Organizers and contractors are not allowed to charge students and schools fees, fees, activity fees, registration fees, room and board fees and other fees, so as to achieve "zero fees". The cost of competition activities shall not be passed on in any way. Adhere to the principle of voluntariness and do not force or induce any school, student or parent to participate in the competition. In the process of holding the competition, the contestants shall not be trained, and materials, books and commodities shall not be sold or disguised.
In addition, the Measures also propose that local education administrative departments at all levels, primary and secondary schools and various educational institutions shall not organize or arrange primary and secondary school students to participate in competitions marked with the words "country", "nationality" and "Greater China" on the list, and shall not provide venues and funds for illegal competitions.
Competition results are not used as the basis for enrollment.
With the reform of college entrance examination enrollment, competition score is no longer a plus item in college entrance examination, but a "stepping stone" for independent enrollment. With the same scores, students with academic expertise are bound to be favored by colleges and universities, and this phenomenon also exists in the enrollment of high-quality schools in some areas. As a result, various competitions for primary and secondary school students "black powder debut". According to incomplete statistics, there were more than 50 competitions in Zhejiang Province before.
In response to this problem, the "Measures" clearly pointed out that competitions and the results produced by competitions are not used as the basis for enrollment in primary and secondary schools. The documents, certificates and medals produced by the competition shall be marked with the approval number of the Ministry of Education and the words "Not used as the basis for enrollment in primary and secondary schools" in a prominent position.
The relevant person in charge of the Department of Basic Education of the Ministry of Education said that in recent years, there have been some illegal acts such as national commendation, listing, naming and forum of basic education, which have affected the ecology of basic education and the people have strongly reflected it. The Measures clearly require that these activities should also be managed in accordance with the Measures, and all localities should intensify investigation and punishment, establish and improve working mechanisms, and further standardize the management of various activities in the field of basic education.
At present, the Ministry of Education has set up a special telephone number to report complaints, and will strengthen the supervision and inspection of competition activities through investigation and inspection. Once violations are found, they will be dealt with seriously.
