After the Lantern Festival, as the temperature in Sichuan gradually rises, kindergartens and primary schools in many places have opened one after another. In Ruoergai County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, which is famous for the "First Bay of the Yellow River", the children of Tangke Town Center Kindergarten ushered in a new atmosphere in the new semester.
This year's school season is very busy, in addition to registering for reports, I also cleaned the newly paved playground with the teachers and gave the children a special gift for the start of school. Tashi Gengzhong, the person in charge of the central kindergarten in Tangke Town, Ruoergai County, said that the new semester has opened, and the kindergarten children have ushered in a lot of new changes.
After the new playground was laid, the children's space for play has become larger, and now they can also pedal cars, shoot balls and play football on the flat playground. Today is the first day of school, and many children can't help but want to go out and play. Tashi Gengzhong was on patrol in the kindergarten this morning, and many teachers told her that many children kept asking during indoor classes, "Teacher, what time do we go downstairs today to play games?" ”
Tashi Gengzhong, 28, came to work at the kindergarten in 2014 after graduating from Sichuan Modern Vocational and Technical College with a degree in preschool education. According to her, the improvement of the kindergarten environment did not happen overnight. "I have been in kindergarten for almost ten years, and with the help of **, our kindergarten has greatly improved its education facilities. ”
In 2011, the Sichuan Provincial Department of Education issued the "Outline of the Medium and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan of Sichuan Province (2010-2020)", which proposed that the surplus educational resources and other surplus public resources after the adjustment of the layout of primary and secondary schools should be converted into kindergartens on a priority basis. The Town Central Kindergarten was converted from a primary school, but the school building and teaching equipment designed according to the primary school education are not suitable for preschool children. With the investment of funds, the purchase of equipment, and the participation of public welfare forces, kindergartens are becoming more and more formal.
At the beginning of the school year, the children met their friends who had a holiday and had a happier time than usual. Tashi Gengzhong mentioned that in the new semester, the kindergarten will design and organize more outdoor activities to meet the needs of children's scientific development and encourage children to participate.
Starting from the fall semester of 2023, Tangke Town Central Kindergarten actively responded to the encouragement policy of "ensuring 2 hours of outdoor activity time for preschool children every day" from education departments at all levels.
We first make up all kinds of outdoor activities into stories to tell the children, and then let them play games, exercise in the games, exercise their bodies, and develop their intelligence. According to Tashi Gengzhong, the garden is divided into large classes, middle classes and small classes, with a total of more than 200 students, all of whom are children of herdsmen in nearby villages, and each class will arrange a time slot every day to do outdoor games. ”
At the end of 2023, under the active coordination of the ** department, the local education bureau, together with Meituan Public Welfare, Yi** and other social forces, donated a new rural children's playground to Tangke Town Central Kindergarten through the Meituan Rural Children's Playground Public Welfare Program, together with 5,706 Meituan public welfare businesses.
Before the winter holidays, Tashi Gengzhong learned that the new playground would be in the park, and he was so excited that he couldn't even sleep. "We have always wanted to make the kindergarten more professional and let the children have more outdoor activities, and this donation has helped us a lot. Tashi remembers that on the day the playground floor was transported to the kindergarten, she and more than a dozen teachers in the kindergarten completed the playground overnight. "At that time, I thought that I must let the children use the new playground in the new semester. ”
It is understood that the smooth landing of the rural children's playground is inseparable from the donations of Tiannan and Haibei public welfare businesses. The Youth Shoes Youth Hostel in Xi'an is one of the non-profit businesses involved in donating a rural children's playground to Tangke Town Central Kindergarten. Dr. Wang Wei, the owner of the hostel, graduated and started his business in 2019, and soon after joining the Meituan Rural Children's Playground Public Welfare Program, donating 1 yuan per order, and has participated in the construction of a total of 303 rural children's playgrounds.
Wang Wei said that his insistence on doing public welfare came from a graduation trip, when he rode along the Sichuan-Tibet Highway to Lhasa, stayed at the home of a Sichuan herdsman, and saw a child doing his homework, so he took the initiative to tutor him. When I got closer, I found that the little boy, who looked to be only seven or eight years old, had frostbite on his hands, but his writing was horizontal and vertical, and he was not affected.
In the following days, he temporarily became a volunteer teacher in the local area. "I could see the desire to learn from the way they looked at me, and from that moment on, I decided to do what I could to help some of the children. Wang Wei also sponsored three children from a welfare home in Xi'an, which he plans to do until they finish college.
Education has given me a perspective on the world, and it has also made me understand that the quadrant of education is not only a dimension of knowledge test, but no matter what you do in the future, you need good physical fitness. Talking about the original intention of choosing to do public welfare through the Meituan Rural Children's Playground Project, Wang Wei said, "By donating to build a playground, I think it can help children have a good body, which is not just one person or a group of people, but a generation." ”
Young people give the world the strength to move upward. In Wang Wei's letter to the sponsored children, he wrote only this sentence. Looking at the team on the kindergarten's brand-new playground, Tashi said with a smile that each child has their own space to play and no longer has to worry about any of them wrestling as before.
In 2023, under the guidance of the Ministry of Education's "Opinions on the Implementation of the Action Plan for the Expansion and Quality Improvement of Basic Education in the New Era", all parts of Sichuan Province will include "improving the conditions for running weak kindergartens" into the key tasks of implementing the inclusive guarantee action for preschool education. In the future, with the continuous efforts of leading and multi-social forces participating in the action, the preschool education facilities in the remote pastoral areas and towns of Sichuan will further narrow the gap with the provinces and cities.
A small splicing floor connects enthusiastic people and caring businesses in Tiannan and Haibei, and forms a rural children's playground all over the country, and also becomes a "connector" between rural children and happy sports and healthy growth. "Over the years, with the support of ** and public welfare organizations, the conditions of kindergartens have become better and better, and I have become more and more confident in the cause of preschool education. "I hope that the whole kindergarten will become more and more professional, so that the children can develop more scientifically." "Allowing children to run happier and grow healthier in better conditions is the young kindergarten leader's vision for the new semester.
