In fact, all off-campus training institutions that used to focus on discipline training are faced with the choice of withdrawal or transformation. In addition to prohibiting the listing, financing and capitalization operation of discipline training institutions, the "double reduction" also stipulates that discipline training is not allowed on holidays, weekends and winter and summer vacations, and requires all discipline training institutions to be registered as non-profit organizations in a unified manner. This means that there will be no profit space for subject training. If the organization wants to continue training, it must be transformed.
At present, it seems that the transformation of non-discipline training (also known as quality education and training) is the "concerted action" of off-campus training institutions, including "head" institutions. The general office of the Ministry of Education recently issued a notice to clarify the scope of off-campus training of compulsory education, and the disciplines of physical education (or physical education and health), fine arts (or music art) and comprehensive practical activities (including information technology education and labor technology education) are managed according to non-disciplines. Therefore, sports, art and comprehensive practical activities, as non-disciplinary training contents, are sought after by institutions.
However, the teaching and training institutions that squeeze into the "single-plank bridge" of quality education and training are likely to produce new "involution". First of all, there are many training institutions in this training field, and the influx of institutions will inevitably lead to more intense competition in quality education and training, and it is not easy for institutions to make profits. Secondly, if an institution applies the routine of management discipline training to the development of non-discipline training, for example, by creating parents' anxiety to expand the market and seek "high growth", then there is a high probability that the regulatory authorities will strictly supervise non-discipline training and adopt the same regulatory measures for non-discipline quality education and training as discipline training.
Off-campus education and training institutions must thoroughly understand the spirit of "double reduction". Although the "double reduction" allows non-discipline training institutions to register as profit-making institutions and carry out capitalization operations, they can conduct training on holidays, weekends, winter and summer vacations. However, the clear message from the strict supervision of discipline training is that education must be carried out instead of business, which can not stimulate social education anxiety and aggravate the involution of education.
The classification of off-campus training into disciplinary training and non-disciplinary training is mainly based on the current training ecology. Relatively speaking, sports, art and other education are still not paid enough attention in school education. Accordingly, although there is a certain market for non-discipline training such as sports and art, it is far less popular than discipline training, which mainly meets the differentiated choices of the educated. This is also the reason why training institutions mainly carry out subject training, and the subject training market accounts for about 80% of the whole training market.
However, if institutions flood into the field of non-disciplinary quality training, increase marketing offensive and expand the market, it will destroy the ecology of non-disciplinary training. In particular, in order to promote schools, students and parents to attach importance to physical education and aesthetic education, China has clearly incorporated aesthetic education into the subjects of senior high school entrance examination, improved the scores of senior high school entrance examination, and made the scores of physical education subjects the same as those of linguistics, mathematics and surgery. In this context, sports training fever has appeared in some areas. If institutions flood in again and expand the "sports training market", it will increase the burden of family sports training and the pressure on students. Subsequently, the sports training around "exam-oriented sports" will be questioned by the society.
If off-campus training institutions choose to continue training, they need to change from the previous profit-seeking mentality to the public welfare mentality. Because subject training cannot be conducted on weekends, holidays, winter and summer vacations, some institutions also want to provide third-party services such as after-school services and custody services in schools and communities, which also belongs to the transformation to quality education and training, because after-school services and custody services are not allowed to make up classes collectively. However, the premise of this change is that after-school services and custody services provided by schools and communities need public welfare, and even if students are charged, they can only share the costs according to the costs.
From capitalization to de-capitalization; From doing business to doing pure education, the transformation faced by training institutions is not business transformation, but thinking transformation. If you want to continue to do big business and make big money, you'd better quit the training field, because it is difficult to achieve the goal of making money by transforming into non-disciplinary quality education; If you want to do education and public welfare, there is still room for non-disciplinary and disciplinary training in the field of education. Because the educated must have differentiated educational needs, the positioning of off-campus training itself is to provide differentiated choices for the educated.
