First, we must firmly establish the guiding ideology of balanced development.
Governments at all levels should fully understand that promoting the balanced development of compulsory education is an important part of government work, reflect the requirements of balanced development in terms of resource allocation, policy formulation and macro guidance, and do more things that are not icing on the cake and help the poor. It is necessary to establish a system in which members of party and government leading bodies at all levels contact schools at designated points to help solve practical problems in time. It is necessary to implement the government's system of reporting education work to the people's congresses and CPPCC at the same level, and actively accept the supervision of the people's congresses and CPPCC. Education administrative departments at all levels should conscientiously perform their duties, take improving the quality of education and promoting connotation development as the focus of promoting the balanced development of compulsory education, strengthen guidance, supervision and inspection, and help schools achieve new promotion in teaching quality, management level, characteristic culture and school spirit.
Second, improve the education investment mechanism.
It is necessary to improve the public financial support system, in accordance with the requirements of the "county-oriented" rural compulsory education management system, incorporate all the funds for compulsory education into the district-level financial budget, establish a long-term mechanism to ensure the sustainable development of compulsory education, ensure "three growth", and substantially increase the investment in compulsory education. Clearly divide the investment responsibilities of governments at all levels in the balanced development of compulsory education and improve the funding guarantee mechanism. It is necessary to intensify overall planning, adjust the structure of fiscal expenditure, give priority to ensuring the balanced development of compulsory education with new education funds, and continuously improve the level of protection.
Third, increase support for "disadvantaged" areas and schools.
The main reason for the slow development of education in "weak" areas and schools is insufficient investment. To fundamentally solve the problem of balanced development of compulsory education, the key is to make the financial allocation tilt towards education in backward areas into a system. We will introduce a policy of giving priority to education investment in mountainous areas and relatively weak areas, increase subsidies for education funds in difficult areas, and make up for the congenital deficiency in the construction and allocation of weak schools. District, street (town) should incorporate the school construction funds into the financial budget, and constantly increase the amount to ensure the planned transformation of school buildings and equipment.
Fourth, guarantee the equal right of students from special groups to receive compulsory education.
Not giving up every child embodies the people-oriented concept. It is necessary to further improve policies and explore effective ways to create conditions for solving the problem of migrant workers' children going to school. It is necessary to establish a caring mechanism for left-behind children in rural areas, strengthen psychological counseling and humanistic care, and boarding schools should give priority to meeting the educational needs of left-behind children. We should attach importance to the construction of special education schools and the training of special education teachers, improve the popularization of compulsory education for disabled children and adolescents, and lay a good foundation for their future employment ability and integration into society. It is necessary to strengthen the pertinence of education and ensure that students with learning difficulties complete compulsory education.
Fifth, intensify the adjustment of school layout.
To improve the education level of a region, we must vigorously adjust the school layout and expand the quality education resources. Schools with small scale and low efficiency should be merged, and schools with good quality and high efficiency should be expanded as much as possible to give play to the role of radiation. According to the population growth rate, we should formulate the education development plan, promote the school construction step by step, and insist on the construction and internal distribution in one step. In particular, the distribution of rural schools should be improved to keep up with urban schools. Strengthen the construction of educational informatization, carry out regional school networking and inter-regional network exchange, so that students from mountainous, rural and weak schools can stand on the same starting line with students from urban areas and advanced schools with the help of educational informatization platform. Free public welfare facilities such as libraries, children's palaces and science and technology museums are open to students to meet educational needs.
Six, promote the balanced allocation of educational resources in the region.
The first is to promote the balanced allocation of hardware education resources. In accordance with the basic standards for running schools at the provincial level, we will actively and steadily promote standardization. Standardization construction should be adapted to local conditions, reasonable and appropriate, safe and practical. Gradually unify the standards of public funds and per capita education funds for urban and rural schools, ensure that the allocation of resources such as school teaching facilities, instruments and equipment, books and materials is basically balanced, and enable primary and secondary school students in the region to basically enjoy the same learning and living conditions.
Second, we should strengthen the construction of teachers in weak schools. The quality of teachers determines the quality of education. To change the weak situation of the school, we must fundamentally establish a high-quality teacher team. It is necessary to absorb a large number of outstanding college graduates into the teaching staff, so that the knowledge level and academic level of the whole teaching staff can be significantly improved. It is necessary to innovate the recruitment and withdrawal mechanism of teachers, control the entrance, formulate teacher qualification standards, conduct qualification examinations, establish a regular qualification certification system, and adjust those who do not meet the requirements. To strengthen the overall management and rational allocation of teachers' resources in this region, it is necessary to gradually establish a regular exchange system between urban and rural teachers.
Third, promote the sharing of quality education resources. Educational informatization is the best carrier to share high-quality resources and a low-cost, convenient and efficient way to promote the balanced development of compulsory education. We should take the construction of modern distance education platform in primary and secondary schools as an important starting point, and build information infrastructure and application systems covering all schools in urban and rural areas. It is necessary to establish a high-quality education resource database, strengthen the development of teaching resources such as famous teachers, prestigious schools and disciplines with characteristics and advantages, so that excellent courses and teaching materials can be found online at any time. Education departments should cooperate with radio and television departments, industry and information departments, integrate Internet, village coverage and other resources, and jointly promote the accelerated development of education informatization, which is not only beneficial to education, but also can promote the development of information industry. Encourage famous schools to open high-quality teaching resources and transport them to weak schools in rural and remote areas through the network to promote balanced development through informationization. Famous schools should actively undertake social responsibilities, support and promote weak schools through trusteeship, training and pairing, so that advanced educational concepts and high-quality teaching methods can influence more schools and benefit more children. According to local conditions, we should focus on building a number of public libraries, stadiums and labor skill bases in primary and secondary schools to build a platform for resource sharing in the region.
Seven, improve the level of compulsory education.
First, we must comprehensively promote quality education. Establish modern education concept, adhere to the principle of educating people, establish quality consciousness, innovate training mode, and take the all-round development and growth of students as the starting point and the end result. Adhere to moral education first, so that students can establish lofty ideals, love the party, patriotism and people, and become qualified builders and reliable successors of socialism. It is necessary to strengthen civic awareness education, establish the concept of democracy and the rule of law, and train qualified citizens in socialist countries. Adhere to both knowledge education and ability training, lay a solid foundation of scientific and cultural knowledge, improve scientific and humanistic quality, and enhance students' learning ability, practical ability, innovation ability and social adaptability. Therefore, we must promote the reform of curriculum system, teaching content and teaching methods, adhere to heuristic teaching and strengthen practical links. It is necessary to improve the index system for evaluating school quality education and the standards for measuring students' comprehensive quality, guide schools to actively carry out quality education, and guide students and parents to support quality education more.
Second, we should standardize school-running behavior. We should adhere to the law of education, guide schools and teachers to devote all their energy to promoting children's growth and progress, overcome impetuous and utilitarian tendencies, and not hold or participate in various training courses, cram schools and upgrading classes that charge students. It is necessary to effectively reduce the academic burden of students. It is necessary to create a relaxed and harmonious educational environment so that students can get rid of the pressure of exam-oriented education, study lively and grow up healthily and happily. It is necessary to innovate teaching and examination methods, appropriately reduce the difficulty of courses, improve classroom teaching effect, protect children's curiosity and thirst for knowledge, and improve enthusiasm and learning efficiency in cultivating interest and tapping potential.
Third, we should pay attention to improving students' physical quality. It is necessary to scientifically arrange students' study, life and exercise time, ensure adequate sleep and carry out colorful extracurricular activities. To promote sunshine sports, exercise for one hour every day to make students mentally healthy and physically strong. Improve school sports facilities, school sports facilities should be open to the society, and social sports facilities should also be open to schools. Where conditions permit, we can explore specific ways to increase nutrition for students every day to improve their nutrition and health.
The balanced development of compulsory education also involves many aspects, such as school management, educational informatization construction, educational exchange, institutional mechanisms and so on. It is a scientific development and a high-level diversified and characteristic development. The process of balanced development is the process of improving the running level of most schools. From the height of implementing Scientific Outlook on Development, we should conscientiously implement the requirements of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on "giving priority to the development of education and building a powerful country with human resources", constantly expand quality education resources, and strive to make every school achieve better development, so that every child can receive a fair and just education, meet the people's demand for quality education resources to the greatest extent, and lay the foundation for the harmonious development of society.
