Education is no small matter! Hundreds of pages of "Guangzhou Primary and Secondary School Development Strategy Research and Layout Planning (Draft)" (hereinafter referred to as "Planning") contain too much gold. Recently, it has been repeatedly interpreted and analyzed by the media, and a series of highlights have been dug up.

The balanced development of education has been called for many years, but it seems that "more thunder and less rain" has not brought many surprises.

However, from the "Planning" published this time, we can see the grand blueprint for the development of education in Guangzhou in the next few years, which also brings many surprises to Guangzhou citizens.

Surprise, the difference between one city and one school is expected to narrow.

As can be seen from the planning, this round of spatial layout adjustment strategy of primary and secondary schools in Guangzhou is to adjust the spatial layout of primary and secondary schools in the city according to the development conditions of different regions, continuously narrow the regional differences and realize the optimal allocation of comprehensive education resources in the city.

In other words, there are 1 1 districts in the city, all of which have one copy, and none of them have failed.

Why is there a craze for choosing schools in Guangzhou? The reason is that there are still differences in educational resources in different regions. How to better "balance a bowl of water" The plan is as follows: the central city will strengthen the overall coordination of degree resources. In other words, Tianhe District, Haizhu District, Liwan District and Yuexiu District pay attention to increasing the number of primary and junior high school degrees, and at the same time appropriately increase the number of high school schools, so as to attract the school-age population in the streets with insufficient degrees to the streets with excessive degrees and make maximum use of educational resources.

As for Huadu District, Luogang District, Huangpu District, Panyu District and other new urban areas, we will expand the layout of high schools to ensure the effective coverage of high school education resources and meet the enrollment needs of school-age population. Conghua, Zengcheng and Nansha districts have increased the centralized construction of educational resources to meet the rapid growth of these school-age population.

Through this plan, on the one hand, children in the most densely populated central city can enter the school nearby during the compulsory education stage; On the other hand, in high school, due to accommodation, degrees can be introduced to the peripheral areas of central cities with less population; On the other hand, in Nansha, Conghua, Zengcheng and other districts, primary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools will be built to meet the educational needs of each new city in order to avoid the shortage of places in urban areas.

Surprise 2 "Xiaoshengchu" is becoming more and more obvious.

If the primary school can easily enter junior high school, there will be no episode of "junior high school" examination. The best way is to run a nine-year compulsory school. However, judging from the current types of schools in Guangzhou, independent primary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools are the main ones, with fewer nine-year schools and even fewer twelve-year schools, and only a handful of 1-2 schools in various districts.

However, in the part of "integration and optimization, adjustment of school-running structure", the plan emphasizes "increasing the proportion of nine-year compulsory education schools in newly-built schools". The requirements for setting up a nine-year-old school are clear: "The newly-built areas may consider merging primary schools and junior high schools, and set up nine-year-old schools with more than 36 classes ... Except in remote suburban areas, nine-year-old schools may not set up student dormitories."

According to the plan, there will be165,438+065,438+0 "nine-year-old" schools in Guangzhou in the future, distributed in all districts of the city. Moreover, the city will also build 10 twelve-year compulsory education schools, such as Guangzhou Xiguan Foreign Language School in Liwan District.

It can be seen that the trend of "junior high school" in Guangzhou will become more and more obvious in the future, and even junior high school is possible. This will greatly ease the pressure on parents to choose a school for their children to go to school. As far as school development is concerned, a consistent school contributes to the stability of students. Running a school that spans two periods can make teachers observe children's growth more comprehensively, which is conducive to the scientific implementation of teaching and research and improve the school's running level.

Surprise Three Demonstration High School Enrollment Expansion will bring enrollment expansion.

The plan also proposes to appropriately increase the scale of running schools in senior high schools. According to the scale slightly higher than the demand of registered population, the land for educational facilities in senior high school will be guaranteed, and the scale of running schools in senior high school will be gradually increased according to the changing trend of demand. To this end, various measures will be taken to ensure the supply of land for the development of educational facilities. For example, in combination with land reserve, priority should be given to ensuring the supply of land for educational facilities in the new district. For Conghua District, Luogang District, Nansha District, Baiyun District, Huadu District, Huangpu District, Yuexiu District, Zengcheng District and other key areas with increasing school-age population density, it is necessary to do a good job in supporting the supply of land for primary and secondary schools in land reserve and transfer.

The reporter found in the "Planning" that six demonstration high schools will be included in the reconstruction and expansion project: Guangya Middle School mainly rebuilt the Lotus Pavilion, and did not mention the expansion of classes; The fifth middle school plans to use more than 60,000 square meters of land, increase the scale of 18 classes, and add 900 new degrees; The planned land for Zhenguang Middle School is 17 184 square meters, increasing the scale of running 24 classes and adding 1200 degrees; The planned land area of No.4 Middle School is 7,627 square meters, which increases the scale of 12 class and adds 600 new degrees; 80 The middle school plans to use more than 80,000 square meters of land, increasing the scale of running 33 classes and adding 17 16 degrees; Xiang county has a planned land area of over 80,000 square meters.

Some insiders believe that this planning adjustment is also a struggle for the development of schools. Some famous schools in the old city have more room for hardware optimization, and at the same time, through the construction of new campuses, they have realized multi-point layout and more diversified students. From the perspective of the whole city, the resources of high-quality middle schools in each district will be more balanced in the future, and the enrollment rate of demonstration high schools will increase with the process of reconstruction and expansion.

Surprise Four municipal schools set up branches in surrounding areas.

How to share high-quality educational resources in the whole city is a common concern of the citizens.

The "Planning" mentioned that the city will co-ordinate the school compliance planning and quality school layout. In line with the principle of "entering the school nearby" and combining with the living area, we should balance the demand and supply of degree in the compulsory education stage. Implement the policy of "high school moving out" to ensure that schools in Yuexiu and Liwan areas meet the requirements of compulsory education.

In particular, it is mentioned that it is necessary to formulate corresponding policies, set up branch schools in key development platforms and key construction areas, and transfer the enrolled population of the old city to peripheral areas. For example, Tianhe Campus run by Zhixin Middle School is the best example. The completion of the school will directly bring about a 4500-degree increase.

According to the plan, by 20 17, all public junior high schools and primary schools and more than 80% private junior high schools and primary schools will be standardized. By 2020, 1.000% of primary and secondary schools in the central city will meet the requirements of standardized running. In order to achieve this goal, only through the practice of "high school moving out" and municipal schools setting up branch schools in the periphery can we make room for compulsory education in the central city.

Surprise five cross-regional cross-school choice is still a play, but it is more expensive.

It is worth mentioning that although it is clear in the plan to coordinate the layout of high-quality schools and guide students to enter the school nearby, it does not mean that there is no room for school choice.

The "Planning" proposes to formulate detailed rules for cross-regional and inter-school attendance to ensure that all students in the school district still have surplus degrees and can receive students around the school district. Study and formulate relevant charging standards, and increase the cost of inter-regional and inter-school study by charging high sponsorship fees. Sponsorship fees are managed by a unified department, and their use is included in the special funds for school land reserve.

In other words, if the school district has a surplus of places, it is allowed to choose a school, but it needs to increase the cost of studying across regions and schools. Reporters don't know whether this is good news or bad news for the general public, but it can only vary from person to person.

Surprise Six Private Junior High Schools or Enrollment by School District

Judging from the current policy in Guangzhou, "prestigious schools run by the people" has been stopped. However, it is proposed in the Plan to increase support for private schools and strengthen the promotion of the work of "running private schools by prestigious schools". Guide private schools in the compulsory education stage to recruit students according to relevant policies and unified school districts. Encourage social forces to set up private high schools. The establishment of private high schools is implemented with reference to the standards of public high schools, and its land can be given appropriate preferential treatment in accordance with the provisions of public welfare land use.

Can a prestigious school run a private school? This is a bit frustrating. However, it is revealed in the Plan that in the future, private schools in the compulsory education stage will be guided to divide enrollment according to relevant policies and unified school districts. Does this mean that even the interviews of private junior high schools should be cancelled and enrollment should be divided according to school districts? If so, will private schools be willing?
