Small-scale rural schools are the "nerve endings" of China's education system and the weak link of compulsory education. Running small-scale rural schools and stabilizing rural students is not only the proper meaning of achieving educational equity, but also an important move to stop the intergenerational transmission of poverty and help the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas.
How to make up for the shortcomings and achieve the high-quality development of rural education?"Withdrawing points and merging schools" is not the only way out. Respecting the wishes of the villagers and running small-scale rural schools is also an alternative plan. Jintang Primary School in Lianhua Town, Xiangjiang New District, Hunan Province, gave full play to the advantages of small classes, strengthened personalized teaching and targeted tutoring, and introduced special courses, which made useful explorations for the development of small-scale rural schools.
There are many similar practices in developing compulsory education in rural areas in accordance with local conditions and adhering to the principle of "one school, one policy". In order to solve the problem of "uneven and poor" courses such as music and physical beauty in weak schools in remote rural areas, Gansu has implemented the "'Internet +' Normal College Teaching Service" project, which provides conditions for schools in remote rural areas to share high-quality urban educational resources. Combined with the high mountains and steep slopes, scattered school sites, and the large number of migrant workers, Guizhou has implemented classified policies to repair the campus buildings of small-scale rural schools and allocate necessary mobile facilities and equipment to ensure the basic teaching and living needs.
Practice has proved that small scale can also be done well. Small-scale rural schools can not only establish a learning environment with full communication and homework criticism, but also combine it with early reading, nature classes, and local culture, so that rural children can fully understand the characteristics of their hometown and continue their cultural roots. Only by retaining and running the necessary small-scale rural schools and developing fair and quality rural education can we ensure that children not only "go to school", but also "go to school well".
