The purpose of education is not only to impart knowledge and skills, but more importantly, to cultivate students' comprehensive quality and personal development. However, in reality, we are faced with the problem of education placing too much emphasis on coursework and academic achievement. In recent years, the implementation of the "double reduction" policy aims to reduce the schoolwork burden of students, and the "52" after-school service has been used as a supplement to the burden reduction policy. However, the reality of after-school services has not achieved the desired results, but has become another form of tutoring and learning. This has sparked discontent among students, parents and teachers, with many calling for the abolition of after-school services and a return to the basics of education. This article will focus on the actual operation and problems of "52" after-school services, and pay attention to the call for canceling after-school services.
52 "After-School Services were originally intended to provide a school with the time and space to develop students' interests and hobbies. However, in many schools, due to the lack of sufficient space and teachers, the content of after-school services has gradually evolved into a place for homework help and new lesson explanations. This reality makes after-school services no longer a means of reducing the burden on students, but rather increasing students' learning time. This is contrary to the "double reduction" policy and counterproductive.
In fact, the survey data confirms this problem. According to the results of Lee Zhenxi's investigation, about 70After-school services in 9% of schools are mainly homework help, 607% of schools offer hosting and writing instruction, and even 18Three per cent of after-school services in schools include the introduction of new courses. These data show that after-school services have become sour, which has led to an increase in students' homework burden, making what was supposed to reduce the burden a way to increase the burden.
Li Zhenxi conducted a survey on after-school extended hours services for primary and secondary school students, from which we could find out the dissatisfaction of students, parents and teachers. The first is the student, 60Nine per cent said they would like to eliminate the after-school service, believing that it would not reduce the burden of schoolwork or even make it more burdensome. The second is parents, many parents report that the after-school extended service will hold new classes, lecture on homework or exams from time to time, resulting in their children falling behind if they do not participate. Moreover, some schools use after-school services to charge fees in disguise, leaving parents dissatisfied. In addition, teachers also have a negative attitude towards after-school services, feeling that students spend more time in school and their own work pressure increases.
Behind these voices, there is a real problem with after-school services. It has not achieved the desired effect of reducing the burden on students and improving the educational environment. Instead, it becomes a burden and pressure for students, parents, and teachers** to truly solve students' problems.
Obviously, the operation of the "52" after-school service in reality has not achieved the expected results, and even received negative feedback. Therefore, returning to the roots of education and re-examining and reforming the education system is the fundamental way to solve the problem.
First of all, we should pay attention to deepening education reform. It would be unrealistic if we only let students and teachers reduce their burdens, and if we do not carry out fundamental reforms to the examination system, the promotion system, the evaluation system, and so on. These problems should be solved by the education department and policymakers, so as to reduce the burden on students at the institutional level and make education more scientific and reasonable.
Secondly, we should promote the diversity of schools. Different students have different interests and strengths, and schools should provide a variety of courses and activities to give students more opportunities for development. In this way, students will be able to develop holistically and reduce excessive focus on schoolwork.
Finally, we need to improve the status and quality of vocational education. If technical school graduates can get good employment opportunities and corresponding treatment, then parents will not pursue university education excessively, thus reducing part of the educational competition and burden.
52 "After-school services were originally set up to reduce students' homework burden and improve the educational environment, but the actual situation is contrary to the original intention. The survey data shows that students, parents and teachers should be taken seriously to the grievances and voices of after-school services, and the elimination of after-school services has become a reasonable solution.
The key to solving the problem is to return to the roots of education, deepen education reform and promote the diversified development of schools. The importance of vocational education cannot be ignored, and by improving students' employability and vocational skills, the excessive pursuit of university education can be reduced, thereby reducing the burden on students.
In the end, we should aim at the all-round development and quality improvement of students, build a scientific and reasonable education system, and return education to its proper track. Only in this way can we truly realize the way of education and education, so that every child can get a good education and realize the value of his or her own life.
