After-school service is implemented in "5+2" mode, that is, the school carries out after-school service five days a week, at least two hours a day, and the end time is connected with the local normal off-duty time. After-school service adheres to the principles of public welfare, inclusiveness, openness and voluntariness. The main content is to arrange students to do homework, read independently, exercise, art and popular science activities, as well as expand training, carry out community and interest group activities, and organize movies suitable for young people to watch.

"Double reduction" refers to further reducing the burden of homework and off-campus training for students in compulsory education. Developing colorful after-school services is an important measure to implement the requirements of "double reduction" and an important way to strengthen the main position of quality education in schools and promote the healthy growth and all-round development of students. By ensuring the after-school service time, improving the after-school service quality, expanding the after-school service channels, improving the after-school service level and meeting the diverse needs of students. To carry out after-school service, we should promote quality and efficiency from five aspects: full coverage, 5+2 guarantee time, rich content and level, attracting students to participate extensively and strengthening conditions.

Teachers can guide students to finish their homework carefully by participating in after-school services, which can not only provide counseling and answering questions for students with learning difficulties, but also reduce the burden of homework supervision and counseling for parents. At the same time, it can also expand the learning space and cultivate scientific thinking for students who have spare capacity for learning.

The level of after-school service in primary and secondary schools in China is constantly improving, and the participants are more diverse and extensive. However, at present, after-school service still faces some problems, such as "it is difficult to implement high quality in schools for a long time, there is no continuous funding guarantee, teachers are difficult to get reasonable remuneration, high-quality content resources are limited, and the platform scale management level is low", which is also the core difficulty that affects the quality and efficiency of after-school service in many regions and schools.

7. Why should digitalization be used to improve the quality and efficiency of after-school services?

Policy level

After-school service is a livelihood project, and it is also an important carrier to carry out the strategic action of digital education in depth. Through digitalization, we can improve the quality of after-school service and realize "double reduction" in an all-round way. To this end, the Ministry of Education organized the pilot work of after-school service informatization, and all localities promoted the pilot work in a scientific and orderly manner in accordance with the principle of "using a national unified platform without self-built systems and connecting data with self-built systems". However, in the implementation process, some local self-built systems still have some problems, such as unreasonable data structure design and nonstandard data acquisition indicators, which cannot effectively connect with the national platform. In order to continuously promote the full coverage of after-school service information management in compulsory education schools, the Department of Basic Education of the Ministry of Education has formulated the Data Docking Standard for After-school Service System of National Primary and Secondary School Management Service Platform (Trial). It is clearly required that the after-school service management platform needs to complete the data docking with the national platform, empower the after-school service digitalization, and make the after-school service, a livelihood project, truly achieve the high standard of "improving quality and increasing efficiency".

Take "please come in", "go out" and other ways to make overall use of high-quality social resources such as popular science, culture and sports to further enhance the attractiveness and effectiveness of after-school services.

First, highlight the characteristics of running a school and improve the level of educating people; The second is to meet the requirements of quality education and meet the diverse learning needs of students; The third is to promote students to return to campus and reduce the financial and energy burden of parents.
