What are the new highlights of China's national examination reform and comprehensive examination rules, and what impact will it bring to schools, students and parents? Interviewers of this magazine (www.thepaper.cn) exchanged views with principals and experts of several junior and senior high schools in Shanghai, and listened to their authoritative analysis.
Still want to buy a "school district house"? Do you want to "choose a school" to ease the anxiety of parents?
Qiliang Middle School in Jiading District, Shanghai is one of the strong engineering schools in Shanghai, and it is also a "good school at home" in the eyes of parents.
Lu, principal of Qiliang Middle School, said that under the influence of the reform policy of Shanghai senior high school entrance examination, education gradually returned to its original position. The school has carried out the project of "Design and Practice of Hierarchical Homework" for more than two years, which has played a role in reducing burdens and increasing efficiency. Full-time tutorial system makes after-school service have quality and characteristics, and also integrates parents' resources and rich social resources. Parents no longer have too much anxiety about whether to buy the so-called "school district house".
Lu, president of Shanghai Fuxing Senior High School, believes that the implementation of quota allocation in senior high school enrollment is not only helpful to improve the quality of junior high school education, but also an important means to promote the high-quality and balanced development of junior high school.
"I have been a high school principal for many years, and I deeply feel that suitable education is the best education for children." Lu said that with the deepening and improvement of policy implementation, it is conceivable that parents will find that in fact, every junior high school has the opportunity to enter the city's experimental demonstration high school, even the highest quality high school, which will greatly alleviate parents' anxiety about choosing schools for junior high schools or even junior high schools, and make more and more parents willing to send their children to good schools at their doorstep.
The same concern after "double reduction": the all-round development of students
According to Tang, director of Shanghai Institute of New High-quality Schools, "assigning scores to comprehensive quality evaluation results" pays attention to the process and participation of junior high school students' four-year learning experience, and does not make differential evaluation. Its essence is to drive junior high school to pay more attention to the cultivation of students' comprehensive quality; Guide parents to further change their educational concepts and pay attention to the all-round development of students under the background of the "double-drop" policy.
Lu, the principal of Qiliang Middle School in Jiading District, Shanghai, also feels the same way: in the process of implementing the "double reduction", schools, teachers and parents are relatively calm. With the "dividend" released by China Merchants' reform policy, we are more full of expectations and confidence in the healthy growth and development of our children.
Jin Weidong, president of the North School of Shanghai Jincai Senior High School, said frankly that a series of policies and laws, such as "Double Burden Reduction" and "Family Education Promotion Law", were introduced to guide parents to pay more attention to their children's physical and mental health, and "Five Education at the same time", so the growth of children is not the first, but the only one. Don't be troubled by the scores in front of you, focus on the future development, start preparing for the present and lay the foundation for your own growth. Having a good school at home will further show a good trend and strengthen parents' confidence in choosing a school nearby. Admission to the nearest school, ensuring sleep and expanding opportunities for further studies are also conducive to children's growth and wisdom, thus effectively alleviating school choice anxiety.
From "teaching" to "education" is the longer-term value orientation.
Gao Jie, the headmaster of Yichuan Middle School, thinks that from the perspective of value, the new high school enrollment policy highlights the key words of "educating people" and "seeing people differently", which breaks through the summative evaluation based on scores only. In the school comprehensive examination, no form of subject test, on-site comprehensive evaluation and comprehensive education shall be organized. Therefore, we must establish a new concept of education, evaluation and talents, carry out education and teaching reform, break the "score-only theory", educate people in an all-round way, incite the transformation and development of education with enrollment reform, and promote the balanced development of compulsory education and the diversified development of high school education.
