In the enrollment work of senior high schools, in some areas, candidates who have achieved a certain level of sports rankings can get corresponding extra points. To some extent, this has played a role in correcting the single score evaluation standard and guiding students to pay attention to the cultivation of artistic and sports interests, but its disadvantages have gradually emerged.
Different from the real contest in the examination room, getting extra points means that children can start before the shooting of the exam and open the gap with other candidates before the starting line.
Take Hangzhou as an example. In the previous senior high school entrance examination, there were four categories: sports, art and technology, and the bonus score was generally 5 points. Faced with the difference of 1 point, the senior high school entrance examination can trigger the change of ranking, and the gap brought by extra points obviously can't calm parents.
The introduction of this new regulation by the Ministry of Education means that there will be no extra points for sports and art in senior high school entrance in the future. The reporter learned that in recent years, some places have gradually reduced and standardized the extra points for the senior high school entrance examination. 20 15 Beijing senior high school entrance examination canceled sports and other bonus items; From 20 16, Chengdu will cancel the extra points items such as sports and art in the senior high school entrance examination; Tianjin has stopped giving extra points to junior high school graduates of sports and other special students since 2009.
Many parents said that if the extra points in sports and art were cancelled, they would continue to support their children to participate in various interest training courses. Mr. Liu, a citizen of Chongqing, sent children aged 10 to participate in various training courses such as taekwondo and piano. Teacher Liu said that canceling the extra points in sports events will make the senior high school entrance examination more fair, and also make the cultivation of students' interest more pure and filter utility.
In addition, the Ministry of Education also stipulates that all localities should scientifically determine the scale of ordinary high schools, prevent large-scale construction of ordinary high schools, gradually eliminate the phenomenon of large class sizes, and strive to promote educational equity and ensure the quality of education. Experts said that this will be conducive to the all-round development of students' quality.
