The impact of canceling English on children at the bottom may lead to missing out on prestigious schools?
If English is abolished, children from poor families will no longer be able to attend prestigious universities, and their lives will never be turned around.
across the country"Two sessions"On the eve of the meeting, Chen Weizhi, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), put forward a proposal to cancel the English course in middle school and replace it with a compulsory course. The proposal has sparked widespread attention and discussion, especially on the internet, where there have been many opinions about the possible cancellation of English classes.
Information on the internet indicates that the majority of people are in favor of abolishing English as a core subject. They believe that English is highly valued in today's society and is not worth spending more than a dozen years learning English because it is difficult to use in the workplace. There are also people who believe that English should be an elective subject that students who are interested in can learn and those who don't like it can not learn it. Is English really not worth learning? Is it really possible to cancel in English?
As an educator, I am not in favor of abolishing or devaluing the English language. The reason is simple: with the abolition of English, children of lower social status will never have the opportunity to change their destiny again.
Initially, English classes were elective, and children from poor families who could not afford to pay for the tuition could not learn English. Nowadays, English has become a compulsory core subject, and anyone can learn English. However, if English becomes an elective subject, schools may no longer focus on English teaching, and students will have to attend off-campus tuition classes if they want to learn English well. However, children with lower social status will find it difficult to afford the expensive tutoring costs and will not have the opportunity to learn English.
Secondly, the courses of some prestigious universities are all in English, and children who do not learn English are likely to not be admitted to prestigious universities. Tsinghua University, like other prestigious universities, has more than 100 courses taught entirely in English. The development of modern science and technology is inseparable from English, and it will be difficult for children who do not master English skills to succeed in high-level work.
The only way for children at the bottom of society to change their destiny is through education, so English is an immutable subject. Students at the bottom of the social ladder have the opportunity to pass the college entrance examination to enter prestigious universities and change their destiny. English is a compulsory subject in exams and tests, so it has the highest status in society.
Netizens"Hu Xijin"There is also a clear opposition to the abolition of English or the reduction of English proficiency. He stressed that China has a long-term policy, and English plays an irreplaceable role in international communication. Hu Xijin believes that English is not only the same for the country, but also for everyone, not blind worship, but to have a clear understanding.
In short, all educational reforms must take into account the interests of the lower strata of society. Abolishing or belittling English deprives children at the bottom of society of the opportunity to change their lives. If one day our country is really strong and the whole world can use Chinese , then English will not be too late . I hope that all distinguished Members of Parliament will speak freely and discuss together!
