Will the admission age be adjusted this year? It is understood that Beijing's 20 17 year compulsory education enrollment method is being formulated, and relevant policies have not yet been determined.
■ Status quo
Most provinces in the country? August 3 1? In the range of ...
Why is August 3 1 the deadline for primary school enrollment? According to Liaoning Evening News, Shenyang Education Department explained that this is because the new school year usually starts in September 1, so it is based on August 3 1 every year. At the same time, the education departments of Liaoning Province and Shenyang City also indicated that they have no plans to adjust this deadline.
The reporter found out that the deadline for primary school enrollment in most areas is August 3 1. In the Opinions of Chongqing Municipal Education Commission on Doing a Good Job in Compulsory Education Admission in 20 16, it is stipulated that all children over 6 years old should receive and complete compulsory education according to law before August 3 1 6 (including August 3 1 6).
However, Hubei, Wuhu, Anhui, Zhengzhou, Henan and other places have relaxed the enrollment age of primary school students. Last year, Zhengzhou stipulated that, except for six-year-old children in the port area, eight other districts in Zhengzhou guaranteed children aged six and four months to attend school.
Will some places adjust the admission deadline after the Ministry of Education issues documents this year? Recently, many education departments have responded and will not make adjustments for the time being.
According to Hebei News Network, the relevant person in charge of the Basic Education Department of the Education Department of Hebei Province said that according to the Compulsory Education Law, all districts and cities in Hebei Province set the date of birth as the day before entering school? August 3 1. As for the deadline for primary school enrollment, the Hebei Provincial Department of Education should consider many factors, including the relevant provisions of the compulsory education law and the policies of Beijing and Tianjin. Especially in Hebei province, the situation of large class size is serious, and the degree problem needs to be considered emphatically, in addition to coordinating with the transition period. Based on multiple factors, Hebei's policy will not be determined in the short term.
According to Xiamen Daily, the information obtained from the education authorities in Fujian and Xiamen has not received this notice from the Ministry of Education. There is no plan to adjust the cut-off age for primary school enrollment at present. At present, Xiamen is facing the pressure of double growth of registered population and children of migrant workers. If it is adjusted this year, does it mean that the education authorities have to pay extra? Healthy? In order to meet the needs of going to school, it is almost impossible to award a degree.
■ Experts say
2 1 Wang Xiong, vice president of the Century Institute of Education and a special teacher of Yangzhou Middle School in Jiangsu Province, said that if adjustments are made, it is necessary to solicit opinions from all sectors of society and explain the reasons for the changes. Because there is a lot of imagination and influence behind this, for example, will families who are going to primary school this year be delayed by one year? If you don't get everyone's approval, it may bring some confusion and cause everyone to be at a loss.
? It doesn't matter if the child goes to school a year late?
? The original intention may be that there is something wrong with this time demarcation point. ? Wang Xiong said, for example, some people think that boys and girls will go to school earlier when they are six years old, but their physical and psychological development levels are different. Some experts suggest that boys can go to school later. Some people think that the situation between cities and rural areas and the central and western regions is quite different, and it is not reasonable to stipulate the same age limit for admission.
? There are some reasons, but the operation is difficult, so the Ministry of Education may think that it will be better to delegate it to all localities, and all localities will make their own arrangements according to the actual situation. ?
? But in general, it is not a big problem for children to study for one year at night. ? Wang Xiong said that China's parents are worried about their children going to school. In fact, it may be good for some children, especially boys, to go to school later.
? At present, the primary school curriculum in China is more difficult, and the slow mastery may not be because the children are not working hard, but because they are not yet mentally old. Although going to school is good for children's development, if the level of physical and mental development is relatively low, it is not good to give him great learning pressure. ?
Wang Xiong advised parents not to be too anxious. Judging from the development of children, being late is a good thing. ? This state of anxiety can easily make children lose the most precious thing. The most important thing is to narrow the differences between schools and improve educational equity. ?
? Does the adjustment of admission age need a transition period?
If all localities carefully adjust the time, Wang Xiong suggested that they should have a full hearing and demonstration, and identify them through scientific procedures. ? It cannot be carried out by executive order. No matter how to adjust, the relevant departments should have a very detailed and operational plan and set a transition period, which needs to inform all parties at least one year in advance. Let parents and schools get ready. ?
? Because once adjusted, it may lead to insufficient degrees, easy to produce large classes and other problems, and affect the adjustment of school districts. ? He said that education is closely linked, and a slight change in policy will involve a series of things.
As for some parents' suggestions to extend the time to 65438+February 3 1, Wang Xiong thinks that if it is extended to 65438+February 3 1 this year, it means that some children need to go to school earlier. It is recommended not to be so early. If it was adjusted to 65438+February 3 1 last year, it might be better.
■ Parents' views
? Is it reasonable to relax to 65438+February 3 1?
Many people feel very good. The deadline for primary school entrance is no longer limited to August 3 1, at least not before September 1. For virgo babies, August 3 1? Rigid? Is the date limit related to their admission? Fate According to the current regulations, Virgo will be able to go to school smoothly on or before August 3 1 after reaching the age of 6. On or after September 1 we have to wait another year. Some mothers calculate the date of pregnancy for this reason, and some even choose to have a caesarean section in advance, so that their children don't have to go to school after one year.
Some parents suggested that it is more reasonable to relax the deadline to 65438+February 3 1 so that children born in the same year can go to school in the same year.
But some netizens think? There's always a line, isn't there? September 1 What's the difference? It's just a caesarean section another day ?
Ms. Liu, who lives in Chaoyang District, just turned 6 this year and her birthday is in February. According to the regulations, children can enter school this fall and enter the first grade of primary school. She thinks it is more appropriate to set the deadline as August 3 1, because the regulations have been formed and everyone is preparing according to the regulations. Parents will be caught off guard if they adjust again.
Mr. Ma believes that most parents still want their children to learn better in the morning. Once their children reach the age of 6, they want their children to go to school. They don't want to wait another year to widen the gap with their peers.
