"Now, like the primary schools in urban areas, our rural primary schools have many opportunities to participate in municipal and district competitions, and students are not to mention how happy they are." On November 16, He Zuoxin, principal of Yunxushan United School in Shigu District, Hengyang City, told reporters that the school won the second place in the primary school group C at this year's Shigu District Summer Games.
In recent years, Yunxushan United School has been reborn, the school construction is getting better and better, the reputation is becoming more and more beautiful, and the recognition of parents is getting higher and higher. This is all due to shigu district's active promotion of the flat reform of education management: in July 2019, the autonomy was returned to the rural schools by abolishing the central schools; the district education bureau trained and allocated teachers in a unified manner, and the teachers of each school were more balanced. Xie Wei, director of the Shigu District Education Bureau, said, "The flat management model activates rural education, installs a 'power device' for the integration of urban and rural education, and makes schools, teachers, and students in the power system, so as to give full play to their maximum potential and promote the accelerated development of rural education." ”
School autonomy has increased
Once, the central school played a huge role in the management of scattered township schools, but with the acceleration of urbanization and the smooth flow of information channels, the management function of this institution has weakened. At the same time, because of the existence of central schools, the autonomy of each school is small.
Many years ago, Songmei Elementary School wanted to renovate the school wall, but it needed to be reported and reviewed layer by layer. The entire program took a semester to complete.
Implement flat reform to reduce the organizational level, reduce management links, simplify administration and delegate powers, and stimulate the initiative and creativity of rural schools. "A lot of ideas don't get implemented in a timely manner." He Zuoxin, formerly the principal of Samsung Primary School, led the school's cheerleading team to Changsha to participate in the provincial competition in 2018, and finally won the runner-up. "This matter was almost put on hold due to cumbersome institutional approval procedures and school funding."
"Now, the cumbersome approval process is gone." He Zuoxin said that after the abolition of the central school, the school had an independent legal personality. "The autonomy of the school has increased, and there are ideas that dare to be bold." In recent years, teachers and students of Yunxushan United School have more opportunities to go out to compete, and the school has participated in the district-level sports meeting for three consecutive years and won awards every year, "Rural children can show themselves on a bigger stage, urban and rural schools get more fair development opportunities, and competition is more open and transparent." ”
"The school's funding application process is both scientific and fast." Shan Wen, the current principal of Samsung Primary School, told reporters that due to the needs of circuit transformation and ground maintenance, Samsung Primary School applied for special maintenance funds from the Education Bureau, and the funds were in place for more than two months. "Removing the 'intermediate link' of the central school, the school directly docked with the district education department, and the self-management played the greatest effectiveness."
Three years ago, Shigu District took the lead in completing the flat reform of education management in Hengyang City, abolishing the three central schools of Jiaoshan, Songmu and Huangshawan, all 25 primary and secondary schools in the district were directly managed by the District Education Bureau, and all public primary and secondary schools implemented unified training, unified management and unified assessment. In recent years, the district has been rated as "Provincial Advanced Zone for Promoting the Balanced Development of Compulsory Education", "Provincial Advanced Collective for Building a Strong Education Zone" and "Provincial Modern Education Technology Experimental Zone".
The flow of teachers in urban and rural areas is more reasonable
In order to further solve the problem of urban congestion and rural weakness, and in order to make the "double reduction" policy land, in the process of flattening the management of the education system in Shigu District, what echoes the "cancellation of central schools" is to promote the reform of teachers' "district management school recruitment" - the district-level education administrative department will coordinate the allocation of teachers, so that the flow of teachers between urban areas and rural schools is more reasonable, and the development opportunities of rural teachers are continuously increased, and the career attractiveness of rural teachers is enhanced.
"I have a lot of training and learning opportunities like the teachers in the city." Liu Kexin, a recently graduated young teacher at Samsung Elementary School, said that in the fall semester, the school and the Education Bureau have organized five teacher trainings. In recent years, rural teachers have more opportunities to learn, the teaching and research level and teaching ability have been greatly improved, and the school dares to innovate more in teaching and research activities.
Jump rope, painting, hula hoops, soccer... In Samsung Primary School, the reporter saw that the students of the school used the existing teaching venues, equipment, teachers and other educational resources to do a good job of coordination according to local conditions and provide full coverage of after-school services. "It's fun to play football and you can get some exercise." One student told reporters loudly what was on his mind. The football special course is the most favorite after-school service for students, and the school's football course has won many awards in recent years in the football competitions organized by Hengyang City and the district.
Huang Shubiao, the leader of the district-level discipline, once served as the principal of the fourth middle school in the urban area. In September this year, he was transferred to the Second Middle School as the principal of the second middle school. "When I first arrived at school, I found that the school placed too much emphasis on academic performance. Li De Shuren, I think moral education should be put in the first place. His arrival has brought a new atmosphere to this rural middle school: putting forward the concept of "diligence, kindness, quietness and purity", changing the evaluation method of class evaluation, holding competitions that students like... A series of initiatives and activities have been well received by teachers, students and parents.
This year, there are 8 people like Huang Shubiao who have been transferred from "famous teachers in urban schools" to serve as administrators of rural schools. They brought excellent teaching skills to rural schools, led to the progress of teachers, and brought advanced management concepts. In the past three years, the education system of Shigu District has had 45 administrative staff and 50 teachers carry out urban-rural exchanges, with an exchange ratio of 17%.
