First, about exam-oriented education.

For many years, exam-oriented education has been one of the hot and difficult issues concerned by all walks of life. In this regard, we should think about whether the emergence of exam-oriented education is a problem of our educational guiding ideology or the whole society. Why do we always talk about quality education, but school education still revolves around the college entrance examination? From a deep analysis, this is a social problem, not just an education problem.

For some people, they may be more concerned about whether their children can successfully enter a good school, find a good job and live a good life in the future.

They may not care much about what quality education is, but they will calculate the input and income of children's education. They are full of longing for the future, but pay more attention to practical interests. This contradiction between thought and reality, between personal interests and the long-term interests of the country and the nation, is very difficult.

This is precisely the problem that we are often troubled, confused, caught in a dilemma and criticized. Many people are willing to spend money, contribute and sweat on their children's education. What they want is that their children can stand on their own feet, develop and make a difference in the future. Their pursuit of "changing their destiny" is natural, reasonable and understandable.

The education system of a city, a region or even a country revolves around the goal of "entering the college entrance examination", which is the sorrow of education and the disaster of the nation.

The imperial examination system once appeared with the appearance of progress, but it was abolished with the appearance of many disadvantages, which brought profound lessons to the country and the nation and was worth learning from. For ordinary people, if the investment in education is limited to the college entrance examination, it is bound to be more disappointing than hope, and the risks outweigh the benefits.

If we agree with the basic purpose of education, then someone must stand on a higher level and think and plan the development of education from a strategic perspective; If we agree that education has the characteristics of long cycle and late effect, then education can not only consider the present, but also sacrifice tomorrow for today. The development of education is not one-way subordinate to social development, and education has the mission of promoting historical progress and leading social development.

I always believe that unswervingly promoting quality education is the embodiment and realization of people's fundamental interests and long-term interests.

(2) The problem of unreasonable charges in primary and secondary schools and high fees for "school-choosing students".

In recent years, in some places and primary and secondary schools, the phenomenon of "school-choosing students' arbitrary charges and high fees has been strongly reflected in society. In accordance with the overall arrangement and requirements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on correcting unhealthy tendencies in the industry, the State Education Commission has paid close attention to special governance work for two consecutive years, initially curbing the growing development momentum.

However, due to the lack of unified understanding in all aspects and regions, the development of governance is uneven. There are many reasons for the problems in school fees, which should be analyzed in detail. We must resolutely overcome and punish corruption. But the news media should also be realistic when reporting this situation. Some people describe the education sector as a profiteering industry, which is biased, misleading and unrealistic.

As far as rural schools are concerned, the investment is still insufficient. If you can't find the root cause, you can't prescribe the right medicine and achieve the goal of radical cure. To study the problem of school fees, we must first calculate the cost of education; The second is to determine the proportion of government, society and educated people sharing the cost of education.

The third is to formulate charging standards. In this way, there is a scientific basis for judging whether the school fees are chaotic or not. Transfer payment should not only depend on how much money is spent, but also on how much the school actually gets. In rural areas, we should not only reduce the burden on farmers, but also improve the conditions for running schools and improve the quality of education. Otherwise, children will not get a good education, which will harm the long-term interests of farmers.
