"Let me ask you a question. Have you counted how much time each family spends on off-campus training? " Du Deyin, deputy to the National People's Congress and vice chairman of the National People's Congress National Committee, asked questions and was silent for a while.
"I declare first. I am more and more satisfied with education, but I am also more and more anxious. " "Education that satisfies the people" is a high-frequency expression of education in the government work report, but Du Deyin, a deputy to the National People's Congress and a grandfather, feels the heavy burden of students' schoolwork.
"Does your grandson go to bed before 8 o'clock every night?" Pang Lijuan, deputy to the National People's Congress, vice chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party Central Committee and vice president of China Education Policy Research Institute, asked.
"Our family fights every day because the children are sleeping!" Like many families, children's education has become the first theme of Du Deyin's family.
"Look at what we are learning at school now, which is much deeper than what we learned at that time, and the students themselves have a heavy burden." Wang Wei said.
"Principal, you can't blame the school!" Du Deyin quickly interrupted Wang Zheng's words. "The heavy burden on students is the embodiment of high social competition in the field of education."
"In fact, my grandson's academic performance is not bad, but the students with better grades in the class have reported to the remedial class, and he is also itchy." Du Deyin takes his grandson as an example to analyze the family factors of the off-campus training fever.
At the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Education made clear the "Ten Prohibitions" for enrolling students in 20 18 ordinary primary and secondary schools, and then jointly issued the "Notice on Effectively Reducing the Extra-curricular Burden of Primary and Secondary School Students and Carrying out Special Governance Actions in Off-campus Training Institutions" to deal with "exam-oriented" training behaviors such as teaching beyond class hours and learning ahead of time. This year's National People's Congress, "focusing on solving the problem of heavy extracurricular burden of primary and secondary school students" was written into the government work report.
"Now the off-campus training has packaged parents into a theater. The audience in front stood up and the audience behind was forced to stand up. At last the audience stood and watched the play. No one gains more, but they pay more. " The problem of reducing the burden on primary and secondary school students was written into the government work report, which made Wang Zheng see the possibility of eliminating the "theater effect".
Du Deyin once invited experts from Beijing Academy of Educational Sciences to preside over a project entitled "Research on Improving Children's Learning Ability from the Perspective of Collaborative Education". Later, his understanding of reducing the burden was more objective. "Reducing the burden is not only an educational issue, but also a social issue. It is necessary to reduce the ideological burden on parents. "
