Up to now, China education has formulated many relevant educational laws and regulations, but they still can't meet the needs of social development, and some laws and regulations need to be refined and strictly enforced-the main problem of education in China.
Three generations of gentlemen. Education is a future-oriented cause and a "slow" art, and quick success and instant benefit are its deadly enemies. However, the leaders, experts, teachers and students of the education department are not the only ones who have the final say on education. Many phenomena seem to be educational problems on the surface, but they are actually determined by the political, economic and cultural factors of the country. In Bian Xiao's view, at least the following conditions have been affecting education.
Mo Yan
The value orientation of society determines the educational ideals and methods of most people. For example, what kind of people are the most popular in society at present, and what kind of people most ordinary people try to cultivate their children into. Wang and other stars earn more than Mo Yan and Tu Youyou, and most of them want to be stars. Most students in the school learn how to take the college entrance examination, which is the role of the baton. For the so-called "fairness", we have to make use of all kinds of exams. However, through the form of paper-and-pencil examination, it turns out that it is impossible to comprehensively examine a person's "core literacy". So far, no one can crack the "password" of talent success, and we can't "copy outstanding talents in history" in a planned way. We can only put forward "six core qualities" in general, but in the face of fierce competition at all stages of the paper-and-pencil exam, even the best educational concept has become the concept of "instilling knowledge as much as possible". (Please refer to the headline article of Yao Shilong, the author of this article: Can exam-oriented education meet the requirements of the times? Diploma is an important "stepping stone" in selecting talents from all walks of life. In order to get better and harder "bricks", our students have been tied to the "chariot" of exam-oriented education since childhood until they knock on the "door" to enter the society and take part in the work. Although a person's "core literacy" is more important than "diploma", its guiding role in practical education is very limited if it cannot be verified, preferably quantified.
A highly competitive exam
Who should stick to the bottom line of education and adhere to the law of education? Obviously, we can't just rely on educators with conscience. Fundamentally, we can only rely on education legislation! For example, a complete education cannot be separated from punishment, but the boundary between it and corporal punishment and corporal punishment in disguised form can only be defined by law; Everyone knows that it is not good to "encourage children by encouraging them", but who can control the phenomenon of advanced education that prevents children from losing at the starting line? ?
To sum up, our education urgently needs to refine and standardize something that meets the requirements of the times, common sense and convention in the form of law. Only in this way can education be less affected by all kinds of quick success and instant benefit, and develop according to its own laws, thus solving the main problems faced by education in China.
Since the reform and opening up, China's education has made great progress, trained a large number of talents with all-round development in morality, intelligence and physique, and made contributions to the cause of socialist construction. This is undeniable. However, we can't ignore the problems existing in current education.
The first is the goal of exam-oriented education. Now, from primary school to high school, students live in homework piles all day. Teachers' teaching is not for the development of students, but around the examination papers of senior high school entrance examination and college entrance examination. In the end, the students didn't learn much practical things except answering a few test papers according to the rules. Many students can't even write a contract after graduating from high school. Some students even made a riddled IOU. If this development continues, the teaching effect is really worrying. We often criticize the feudal imperial examination system for poisoning intellectuals. However, people trained by the imperial examination system can also write beautiful couplets and poems, and also write some very practical articles. Nowadays, high school students can't even write a decent practical article well, and they are full of student accents, which are almost out of touch with social practice. This is the sorrow of education.
The second is the illusion of educational content. From primary school to high school, there are many problems with textbooks. Taking Chinese class as an example, many wonderful and famous articles in traditional culture have not been sorted out, and some modern excellent contents have been eliminated because they do not conform to the political direction. However, many of the contents discharged into the teaching materials have no practical value and cannot guide learning activities, so students read them with the same taste as wax. Another example is the English course, which takes up a lot of study time. After graduation, students go to the society, but because it is useless, they almost forget it after a few years, resulting in a lot of time waste. There are many such examples.
The third is a mockery of the educational process. Education reform has been going on for decades, sometimes drawing lessons from Miluo's quality education experience, and sometimes drawing lessons from Dulangkou Middle School's "three three six" model. Changed and changed, all the excellent things in traditional teaching were lost. The so-called happy teaching and gifted teaching have turned solemn teaching activities into games between teachers and students. Finally, the more teachers teach, the more confused they become, and the worse students learn.
The fourth is the administration of education management. As we know, most university presidents and education directors at or above the county level are not from the front line of teaching, but are transferred from administration. They have no textbooks, no pointers, and do not understand the laws of education and teaching, which will naturally lead to command mistakes. There are dozens of stock rooms in a county-level education department, which is overstaffed. I am a layman in education, but I give orders to the schools and teachers below. At the end of the due period and the end of the year, there are a large number of inspection items and acceptance documents, which make the following teachers very tired, distract the teaching energy and have a great impact on the development of education.
Fifth, the status of teachers is marginalized. Teachers' salary is low, which lags behind greatly in the tide of economic construction and becomes a vulnerable group living at the bottom of society. Excellent talents are unwilling to engage in education, which leads to the continuous decline of teachers' quality. Such a vicious circle will ultimately hurt the next generation and the future of the motherland.
In this year's national "two sessions", reducing the burden has become one of the key words. The government work report also clearly stated that "efforts should be made to solve the problem of heavy extracurricular burden of primary and secondary school students". Many deputies' proposals focus on reducing the burden on primary and secondary school students.
As representative Chai Huien said, it is necessary to reduce students' psychological "negativity" and prevent the phenomenon of "reducing the burden in class and aggravating it after class"; The representative of Zhang Zhiyong pointed out that "reducing the burden" does not mean the "retreat" of public education. Deputy Zhou Hongyu believes that postponing class hours is not the fundamental solution to reduce the burden, but it should also take temporary measures to at least give students a longer rest time; Committee member Huan Wang suggested that the curriculum should be standardized, the evaluation reform should be deepened, and the "burden reduction" and "four assignments" should be done in a targeted manner.
It has been "shouting" for many years to reduce the burden on primary and secondary school students. From the central government to the local government, there are both policy guidance and reform exploration. However, due to practical reasons, many primary and secondary schools have not made substantial breakthroughs in reducing the burden in recent years, and even have a trend of "increasing instead of decreasing". Because of this, this is the "burden reduction" and "strongest voice" issued by the deputies at the two sessions this year.
The two sessions are the stage for discussing the country, and many deputies focus on reducing the burden, which also shows that this issue has become a major concern of people's livelihood in the current society, and it is also consistent with the increasing attention paid to education. The hot discussion and suggestions of the deputies will also help to form a social consensus on reducing the burden, and then find a pragmatic way to reduce the burden.
On the issue of reducing the burden, there is no lack of consensus from the education department to schools and parents: reducing the burden is not only for teachers, but also for "in-school". Individual different voices are essentially differences on how to reduce the burden, rather than denying it. It can be said that this has laid a conceptual foundation for promoting effective burden reduction actions.

At present, the key is to guide the consensus in concept to the consensus in action, that is, how to reduce the burden. In this regard, many deputies put forward insightful opinions, such as advocating "four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division" to reduce the burden, including "adding" children's sleep and exercise time and multiplying the incentive mechanism of multiple evaluations.
As they say, the root of the dilemma of reducing the burden lies in working hard on the educational baton and perfecting the pluralistic evaluation system with "all-round development of people" as the core. This also requires a more comprehensive, comprehensive and systematic institutional arrangement.
Under this fundamental reason, the specific direction and focus of the phenomenon of "less and more negative" will also face differences between urban and rural areas: for urban primary and secondary school students, the burden is too heavy, or it mainly refers to the overflow of extracurricular training, competitions and homework; For many rural students, the burden may come more from the performance orientation in the classroom and the pressure of facing the learning task alone due to the lack of effective extracurricular guidance.
The reasons for the burden are also complicated: in some places, the educational methods and concepts are backward as a whole, while in others, the educational resources are unevenly distributed?
In view of this, it is obvious that the burden reduction should speed up the root cause and take corresponding measures according to the specific inducing factors. Treating the symptoms without touching the "root" may be drawing a sword and cutting off water; Under the realistic background that it is difficult to cure the root cause overnight, it is also very important to treat the most direct symptoms, such as ensuring children's sleep time and using "results" to force action. For example, "No homework after 10 in the afternoon" is a positive attempt.
The essence of reducing the burden is "reducing the quantity and increasing the quality", which is quite complicated, but the more so, the more urgent, the more urgent, the less you go to the hospital; We should not only focus on the root causes, but also not across the board. It is also expected that the topic effect formed by the "two sessions" in the country will help to reduce the burden from consensus to countermeasure analysis, from active appeal to scientific practice, so that the problem of reducing the burden will no longer be a "problem" as soon as possible.
