Drinking: False quality education is not as good as exam-oriented education

While vigorously promoting the reform of quality education in Shandong province, the Yishui county government of Shandong province requires that exam-oriented education be paid close attention to in the form of "red-headed documents". After the incident was reported by Xinhua News Agency, public opinion rose up against it. Relevant experts believe that the practice of Yishui County has exposed some government officials' wrong views on educational achievements.
We don't know what the "wrong view of educational achievements" refers to. Is it because it does not meet the "caliber" of quality education in the province? Or is the method of "grasping education" in Yishui County wrong? In fact, under the current background, Yishui County's "only mistake" is that it should not say what it has done, but should shout quality education and then carry out exam-oriented education in a down-to-earth manner.
Look at the Opinions on Further Strengthening School Management and Improving the Quality of Education and Teaching issued by Yishui County Government: Only by improving the quality of education and teaching can more students successfully pass various selection examinations and help them realize their life value. The objectives and tasks of strengthening school management and improving the quality of education and teaching in the county are as follows: the excellent rate of senior high school entrance examination remains the first in the city; The number of undergraduates, the number of key undergraduates and the scale of 10,000 people rank first in the city; Achieve the "five highs" goals of high management level, high teaching level, high enrollment rate, high quality of students and high satisfaction rate of the masses.
To tell the truth, this document is not consistent with the spirit of the superior document, but it clearly expresses what it is doing in many places, which can be described as "clear concept", "clear goal" and "strong operability" Compared with those documents of Opinions on Further Promoting Quality Education, this provision is at least not hypocritical.
Hypocritical and inoperable quality education is far more terrible than "blatant" exam-oriented education. The eight hidden rules of education reported by the media recently are rooted in hypocritical quality education. On the surface, there is no choice of school, no ranking of enrollment rate, and it is forbidden to make up classes; But sneaking around, there is no place to choose a school, let alone the enrollment rate, let alone make up classes. The hypocritical quality education not only creates the vigorous illusion of quality education and confuses educators and educatees, but also is "lie education" in itself. Some government officials and school leaders publicize quality education in various occasions, but they turn to exam-oriented education in terms of fund allocation, school evaluation and teacher assessment. What is even more bizarre is that in order to cope with the quality education inspection of government departments, some schools even organize students to rehearse the abandoned minor courses in advance and train students to answer a series of "standard answers" about quality education.
It can be said that hypocritical quality education is above exam-oriented education, which aggravates crime. It has been 22 years since the concept of quality education in China was put forward by 1987. A child born that year graduated from college this year. Is their education more "exam-oriented" than 1980? The problems brought by this kind of quality education to education, except the hidden rules that are abhorrent, are full of falsehood. Recently, Tao Xiping, a state governor's consultant and educator, criticized the shortcomings in composition teaching in primary and secondary schools when he gave a keynote speech to the education sector in Wuhan. He said: "I remember Han Han said:' The first lie in life often begins with writing a composition.' Now primary and secondary school teachers teach students' mother is kind' in composition teaching, so every child writes a virtual mother. "Virtual mother is just one of the manifestations of all" lie education ".
