Accelerate the high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education
After the research and practice of 'Thousands of Glues and Hundred Roses', my classmates and I experienced the history and production process of Ejiao on the Ejiao production line in Dong'e Ancient Town, and felt the integration and development of traditional craftsmanship and modern technologyIn the Fanglei Pastoral Complex, I learned the planting technology of roses, experienced the production process of rose cakes, and gained an in-depth understanding of the two hometown specialties of Ejiao and roses, and I prefer my hometown Pingyin. Recently, Zhang Weiran, a student of Shaodai Primary School in Pingyin County, Jinan City, Shandong Province, told reporters that the local county-level research and practice activities have allowed students from rural schools like them to "be in Pingyin, know Pingyin, and love Pingyin".
Pingyin County is located in the suburbs of Jinan City, with a population of just over 300,000, but it has long been famous as the "source of Ejiao in the world" and "the rose capital of China". In recent years, with the goal of vigorously promoting the high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education, Pingyin has continuously optimized the allocation of resources, improved the school-running system and mechanism, stimulated the vitality of school-running, and strived to run every school well, so that every child can enjoy high-quality and fair education.
The conditions for running a school are fully guaranteed, and the most beautiful ones are "rose red".
This row of 'rose red' will become the most beautiful scenery again. "In the summer of 2021, it is a critical period for Pingyin County to increase investment in improving the conditions of urban and rural schools, on the construction site of the art building of the Central Primary School in Xiaozhi Town, Pingyin County, when the workers carefully closed the last brush of the exterior wall paint, Wang Xiucheng, then deputy secretary of the Pingyin County Party Committee and county magistrate, and the current secretary of the Pingyin County Party Committee, said Wang Xiucheng, who was supervising at the scene.
The high-quality and balanced development of education is a symbol of the economic and social development and progress of the county, and it is the unshirkable responsibility of the party committee and the party. Wang Xiucheng said, "We adhere to the 'three priorities' of financial resources, preparation and planning in our work, insist on giving priority to the inclusion of education projects, the fastest allocation of education funds, and solve problems immediately. ”
In recent years, Pingyin County has strengthened high-level overall planning, top-level design, multi-party coordination and investment guarantee, clearly regarded the priority development of education as an important task of "breakthrough in people's livelihood improvement", incorporated the high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education into the county's national economic and education development plan, and included the task of high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education in the first work report and people's livelihood every year, and coordinated the promotion of the integrated reform and development of urban and rural compulsory education in the county. Promote the formation of a good education ecology with high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education.
As a township school, our school's boys' and women's teams have won the county-wide championship for three consecutive years. Wang Hu, principal of Xiaozhi Town Central Primary School, introduced. In order to further improve the school's level of running a school and create art and sports characteristics, Pingyin County and Xiaozhi Town invested 2.85 million yuan to build an art building of nearly 1,000 square meters for the school, and the school has calligraphy, painting, and special classrooms; Invested 3 million yuan to build a cage football field, paved a full-coverage plastic playground, and the children played football more energetically.
Since 2019, Pingyin County has invested a total of 31600 million yuan, nearly 500 acres of educational land have been allocated in the past three years, and 20 schools have been built, renovated and expanded, which has comprehensively improved the conditions for running schools in urban and rural areas. Taking 2022 as an example, Pingyin County's general public budget education expenditure increased by 12 percent year-on-year08%, per capita general public budget education expenditure for ordinary primary schools increased by 21 percent year-on-year67%, and the average junior high school increased by 16 percent year-on-year66%, which has laid a solid foundation for the high-quality and balanced development of urban and rural compulsory education, and the people's desire to "go to school well" has changed from "future tense" to "present tense".
In terms of internal facilities and supporting facilities, all 29 compulsory education schools in the county have reached the provincial first-class standard. Sun Haiping, director of the Pingyin County Education and Sports Bureau, said, "All the urban and rural school buildings are painted with regional characteristics of 'rose red', which is affectionately called 'education red' by the masses." ”
Urban and rural teachers coordinate and exchange, so that the school has a "big man".
Take your hand, take my hand, the Motherland will walk with us ......Recently, there was a loud singing voice from the classroom of Rose Town Central Primary School. "Not only are we able to offer a full curriculum and full class time, but rural children can also receive a higher level of art education. Chen Bo, principal of Rose Town Central Primary School, said.
After the start of school in the fall of 2023, Liang Ying, a teacher from Pingyin County Experimental Middle School, came to Rose Town Central Primary School to teach.
In view of the structural shortage of teachers in rural schools, the shortage of high-quality teachers or even the loss of high-quality teachers after the improvement of the hardware facilities of rural schools, we have actively taken measures to improve the treatment of rural teachers, and through policy tilt, we can make rural teachers feel at ease, rest assured and comfortable to teach, so as to train more teachers to grow into 'Mr. Big' in rural schools, so that schools and schools have 'Mr. Big'. Sun Haiping said.
Like Liang Ying, in 2023, 16 outstanding teachers will be actively transferred from schools in the central city to teach in 6 rural primary schools, and they can be hired for a higher level of professional and technical positions after they arrive, and at the same time, they will teach in rural schools for at least 5 years.
In the summer of 2023, Pingyin County will also organize more than 500 teachers to carry out one-year exchange rotations, of which 45 teachers from county-level schools will be exchanged to teach in township schools. In recent years, 10 teachers from urban areas have been exchanged to teach, which not only solves the problem of shortage of teachers, but also promotes the overall improvement of education and teaching quality, which is praised by the local people.
In addition, Pingyin County also requires that teaching and research personnel who have served for 5 years must be transferred to the school to engage in teaching work for 1 year, so as to avoid "talking on paper" after teaching and research personnel have been out of the classroom for too long; At the same time, 63 outstanding teachers have been developed as part-time teaching and research staff, and teaching and research groups have been established in each discipline to expand the teaching and research team of disciplines. Through the above measures, Pingyin County has promoted the balanced and coordinated allocation of urban and rural teachers, especially those in rural schools, and effectively solved the difficulty of unbalanced regional teacher resources.
Since 2019, 254 people have obtained the deputy senior title through 20 years of rural teaching "direct evaluation and direct employment", and 235 people have obtained the intermediate title of "direct evaluation and direct employment" for 10 years of rural teaching, with an average monthly increase of 1,227 yuan per capita, and the subsidy for rural teachers has been implemented on time and in full, which has stimulated the enthusiasm of rural teachers.
In addition, the finance of Pingyin County also spends more than 20 million yuan every year to establish a teacher evaluation and reward mechanism, and at the same time promote the education association and social forces to reward outstanding teachers and students, and create a good atmosphere of respecting teachers and valuing education. According to statistics, in 2022, the average annual salary income level of compulsory education teachers in Pingyin County is 18,234 yuan higher than that of civil servants.
Benefiting from the policy guidance of inclined rural schools, as a remote township school, we are not only able to retain excellent teachers, but also attract outstanding backbone young teachers to teach in the school. She Ruimin, principal of Shaodai Primary School in Dong'e Town, told reporters that a group of outstanding teachers such as Wang Chengmin, an excellent municipal class teacher who has been teaching in the countryside for 31 years, have taken root in Shaodai Primary School, and in 2023, the school will also exchange outstanding young backbone teachers and vice principals of English from urban schools, and the teaching quality has remained in the forefront of township schools for many years.
The county has established "four districts and eight leagues", and urban and rural teachers and students share education dividends
A few days ago, the "Yuying Cup" teaching competition for young teachers of Jindong Primary School and Ancheng Primary School Alliance School in Pingyin County was held, and 14 young teachers from the two schools were divided into three disciplines: Chinese, mathematics and English. This is the 20th teaching and research activity between teachers from the two schools this semester.
Starting from 2021, Pingyin County will fully implement the "urban and rural school alliance management", adopt the method of "high-quality school +", take 8 schools in the urban area as the core school, form eight alliance schools with 17 rural schools, and integrate the first assessment alliance school in the county to promote the integrated development of urban and rural schools.
Yin Yuanhua, principal of Jindong Primary School, introduced that Jindong Primary School and Ancheng Primary School Alliance started from subject teaching, and carried out Chinese, mathematics and English teaching and research activities from Monday to Wednesday respectively, and teachers of other disciplines also arranged special teaching and research activities.
Relying on the entire teaching and research team of Jindong Primary School, our daily teaching and research is no longer limited to two or three teachers in our own discipline, I have suddenly integrated into the teaching and research family of the alliance, broadened my horizons, improved my teaching methods, and improved my professional level. Dong Dejing, a teacher at Anseong Primary School, said happily.
Like Jindong Primary School, since the implementation of the "Urban and Rural School Management Alliance" model, Pingyin County has extended more high-quality educational resources to rural schools through the alliance: the alliance schools take the initiative to "hold together", take the task drive as the starting point, and establish a close relationship between schools; The comprehensive sharing of famous and excellent teachers, through sending teachers to the countryside and sending training to the countryside, the role of "passing on the help and leading" is more prominent, and the professional quality of teachers in rural schools takes advantage of the situation to exert force and "lift all boats when the tide rises"; Actively participate in teaching and training, regularly carry out open classes, demonstration classes and seminars, and teachers in rural schools are no longer "lonely" to participate in school-based research and training; The multi-dimensional interaction of teacher exchanges, the selection of backbone famous teachers in urban schools to teach and teach in rural alliance schools, and the training of teachers in rural schools to high-quality schools, the flow of urban and rural teachers has become natural, the students' horizons have been fully opened, and the interaction, mutual learning and integration of urban and rural teachers and students have become a new trend in urban and rural schools.
Don't look at this as a rural primary school, but the conditions and quality of the school are not worse than those in the city. Han Qiang, a parent of a student at Xiaozhi Primary School in Pingyin County, gave a thumbs up as he said, "My child is in the first grade, and I was a little entangled in where to go before, but I did things in the hearts of the people, and after the start of school, I found that the school bus drove to the door of the house, and lunch was better at school than at home, and the school teachers were also very good, so my heart was put down." ”
Since 2012, Pingyin County has opened school buses to pick up students in accordance with the model of "leading the way, departmental supervision, company operation, and financial incentives and subsidies", with a total investment of 24.6 million yuan, and the school buses have developed from the initial 43 to 92 now, serving students in 23 schools and 237 administrative villages, and setting up 364 student boarding and disembarking stations, benefiting all students in urban and rural areas of the county.
In addition, Pingyin County has also built the county's first school kitchen, school canteen, and restaurant, through the "unified procurement and distribution of ingredients in the county, and the school's fixed-point processing", so that the county's primary and secondary school students can eat a safe lunch. The standardized operation of school buses has narrowed the gap between urban and rural education, and the steaming lunch has warmed the hearts of students and parents, and the sense of gain and satisfaction of the masses is expressed in their faces and hearts. In the comprehensive social survey organized by relevant departments, the satisfaction rate of the masses in Pingyin County with the education work reached 9856%。
In the next step, we will continue to comply with the expectations of the people, and further implement the education priority development guarantee project, the education quality excellence project and the education quality and balance people's livelihood project, so that every child can enjoy a fair and quality education and have the opportunity to shine in life. Wang Xiucheng said.
