Huqiu Experimental School is a full-time public modern junior middle school, the only public middle school in Pingjiang New Town, and Lida School is an excellent private middle school in the city. The joint running of the two schools not only promotes the optimal integration and balanced development of educational resources between the two sides, but also meets the urgent needs of people in Pingjiang New Town to enjoy high-quality educational resources at home.
Jiang Fengqing, president of Huqiu Experimental School, introduced that in the future, Suzhou Huqiu Experimental School will add the school card of Suzhou Huqiu-Lida Cooperative Experimental School, but the theme of running the school will remain unchanged, the nature of public welfare will remain unchanged, and the charging standards will remain unchanged. When enrolling students this fall, the enrollment scale remained basically unchanged. According to the agreement, the two schools will integrate their advantages through all-round cooperation such as management exchange, teacher exchange, teaching and research exchange, proposition examination exchange and student interaction, especially absorbing and drawing lessons from Lida's school-running philosophy and management experience to build a large-scale high-quality school.
Bao Yinchu, director of Suzhou Education Bureau, said at today's signing ceremony that the cooperation between the two schools has broken the conventional model, and education, teaching and management have been fully interconnected, providing fresh experience for compulsory education. In order to encourage this innovation, Suzhou Education Bureau and Heping District People's Government will jointly contribute 500,000 yuan each year to set up the Pingjiang Education Award to encourage outstanding students and teachers in new schools.
