The speed of the withdrawal and merger of rural grassroots schools is so fast, I can vaguely guess the reason!
I vaguely guessed the reason why the rural grassroots schools were withdrawn and merged so quickly.
The abolition of rural primary schools not only deprives rural students of the opportunity to receive education at their doorstep, but also erases the nostalgia that should perpetuate in the hearts of rural wanderers.
The school that was dismantled a few years ago in a neighbouring village is now deserted, overgrown with weeds, herds of cattle and sheep, and even small stones and sand from which villagers had built their houses. Earlier this month, the school's school building was finally razed to the ground. The roar of the machine is reminiscent of the sound of reading in the classroom, as if it is a world away, looking back on the past, everything is like a dream.
The reason for the annexation of the school seems simple: the number of students is too small - less than a hundred students in the whole school. In order to save the school, the village elders did everything they could: they went to the village, the district and the city to ask for help, mobilized parents studying in the city to send their children back, and tried to retain good teachers...
Even if I am asked to swallow a load of incense, as long as the village school is not taken away and annexed, I am willing! "An old man in the village choked up, his eyes foggy.
However, what can't be done is what can't be done. The school was revoked: the decision could not be changed, the parents of the children in the town were reluctant to send their children back, the teachers were transferred to other places, the efforts of the old people were in vain, and the remaining children had to go to school further away, and the transportation problems to and from school had to be solved by themselves.
Today, the rate of phasing out of basic schools in rural areas is accelerating, with some places closing several schools in a single year. Why is that? It is clearly said that we want to revitalize the countryside and develop rural education, but why are schools closed so quickly? Why did rural basic education schools end so quickly?
I vaguely guessed that the reason why the rural areas have accelerated the pace of abolishing basic education is to speed up the process of urbanization and realize urbanization more quickly. Nowadays, in the eyes of many farmers, leaving the countryside, moving their families to the county seat to make a living, buy a house, and let their children study in the county seat"No matter how bitter you are, you can't be bitter about the child"For the sake of the name, it is the manifestation of success.
As a result, a strange phenomenon has emerged: it is difficult for the village-run primary school to admit several students, and the school leaders are worried about the number of students; Municipal schools are able to enroll hundreds of students in the first year, but they are worried about the lack of teachers and quality. In recent years, it has become more and more common to buy a house and change to a prestigious school at the municipal level. However, more and more people are buying houses, prestigious schools"Gold content"It is also gradually decreasing.
However, should urbanization come at the cost of the decline of rural education and the emptiness of rural areas? In the countryside, during the busy farming season, you can hardly see old people in their sixties and seventies working in the fields, and there are hardly any young people. I can't help but wonder if the countryside will become barren when these old people leave forever. While urbanization and real estate are important, what does it mean for our future when the profession of farmer disappears in the countryside?
