In recent years, China's education sector has been on how to reduce students' homework burden in order to implement the "double reduction" policy. However, survey data shows that only 30% of students feel that their schoolwork load has been reduced,265% of people are dissatisfied with the "double reduction" policy, the main reason is that the evaluation method has not changed, and the burden reduction is just empty talk, and the problem has not been fundamentally solved. In order to make up for the shortcomings of the policy, the "52" after-school service was introduced as a supplementary measure to the "double reduction". However, how does this service really work?Why there are 60What about 9% who want to eliminate after-school services?Before this question, let's understand the background and purpose of the "52" after-school service.
52 "After-School Services" complements the policy and is designed to allow students to continue their learning Xi and development on campus. Every Monday to Friday, students have two hours of after-school activities in the venue provided by the school, mainly extracurricular club activities, with the purpose of cultivating students' interests and hobbies and all-round development. However, the reality of after-school services often deviates from the original purpose. In many schools, there is a lack of adequate space and teachers, resulting in the failure of after-school services. As a result, the service that was originally set up to reduce the burden on students has become a place for tutoring homework and even teaching new classes. This is contrary to the original intention of implementing the "double reduction" policy.
It is not for nothing that students, parents, and teachers are dissatisfied with after-school services. In the survey, 76Seven per cent volunteered for after-school services, and in the feedback received, many parents mentioned that the school's after-school service curriculum was irregular, sometimes with new lessons, homework or exams, which made children feel more stressed. In addition, the school lacks a diverse range of service options, mainly based on homework assistance and childcare, with only 18Three percent mentioned after-school services and writing tutoring. This indicates that the school does not pay enough attention to the diverse development of students.
At the same time, after-school services have caused some inconvenience to parents. The early release of students makes the parents' commute time conflict with the time to pick up and drop off their children. Some schools charge for after-school services, and parents have to pay extra fees. This has left some families feeling resentful, believing that after-school services have gone sour. In fact, instead of reducing the workload of students, students spend more time Xi in school, which is contrary to the original intention of the policy.
For a long time, there has been a "dual-track system" of on-campus classes and off-campus training in the field of primary and secondary education, which not only increases the burden of schoolwork on students, but also increases the economic pressure on family education. However, this involution phenomenon is not inevitable. If all students make up classes, the chances of getting into a major high school will not increase, but it will only make the cost of home education huge. Therefore, the original intention of implementing the "double reduction" policy is to return education to campus and reduce the economic pressure on family education.
However, in the process of implementing the "double reduction" policy, we also face some challenges. On the one hand, the current reform of the education system is still not perfect, and there has been no fundamental change in the examination system, the promotion system, and the evaluation system. This makes it difficult for teachers and students to change under the existing system. On the other hand, if you can have a stable job and support your family after graduating from university or technical school, you don't have to go to university, and this will also reduce the burden on students. Therefore, in order to truly reduce the burden on students, it is necessary to carry out top-level institutional reform in the field of education.
In the face of soured after-school services, we need to recognize that the root cause of the heavy burden on students is not in the field of education, but in society. Wang Wenzhan, former director of the Ministry of Education's Department of Basic Education, has said that without institutional reform, it is unrealistic to let teachers and students bear the responsibility for reducing the burden. The core of the implementation of burden reduction is to reform the examination system, the admission system, and the evaluation system, and provide diversified employment opportunities to ease the pressure of students' choices.
In addition, in the survey carried out by Li Zhenxi, there were 60Nine percent want to eliminate after-school services. This is also a call for the current issue of after-school services. When after-school services become contrary to the original intention, instead of reducing the burden on students, they increase the pressure on students' Xi, and people naturally want to cancel such services. This also reflects people's concerns and dissatisfaction with problems in the field of education, as well as doubts about the implementation of the "double reduction" policy.
In general, the current problems in the field of primary and secondary education are not caused by education itself, but by social and institutional pressures. To truly reduce the burden on students, it is necessary to fundamentally reform the education system and provide diversified employment opportunities so that students have more choices in a variety of fields. At the same time, in the process of implementing the "double reduction" policy, we should pay attention to the quality and diversification of after-school services, not only to meet the development of students' interests, but also to reduce the workload of parents and teachers. Only in this way can education return to school, reduce family education expenses, and enable students to develop holistically.
