The annual dialogue on "The Evolution and Generation of Rural Schools in the Future" was held in Beijing by Gao Kai

BEIJING, Dec. 28 (Xinhua) -- The 2021 Life Education Innovation Season "Evolution and Generation of Future Rural Schools" annual dialogue was held in Beijing a few days ago. Focusing on the importance of rural education to rural revitalization and educational equity, as well as the "new" thinking and "new" strategy of rural education innovation in the context of rural revitalization, the experts attending the meeting on the same day conducted in-depth discussions.

Liang Chao, lecturer at the Economic Research Institute of Shandong University, introduced the opportunities and challenges facing from "urban concentration" to "urban-rural integration" in the context of rural revitalization. He pointed out, "We now emphasize the integration of urban and rural areas, and the government's educational reform and the balanced development of compulsory education initiatives such as teacher rotation have a positive impact on the narrowing of the gap between urban and rural education quality, and rural families have more choices for education." ”

Liang Chao believes that in the past, young people in the village basically sent their children to the city to study, if the quality of education in the countryside keeps up, in the future, these rural families will not need to buy a house in the city and go to a good school, which is an opportunity. On the other hand, the promotion of teacher rotation is a challenge, and the willingness of teachers to rotate is the key.

Liu Jian, dean of the China Institute of Education Innovation of Beijing Normal University, introduced the SELECTION OF THE SERVICE Award set up by the China Education Innovation Achievements Public Welfare Expo, he said that the SERVE model tries to answer what is an excellent educational innovation achievement, and the model has five key words, one is to emphasize the original education problem; second, in the face of such problems, forward-looking educational concepts and values should be formed; third, systematic solutions should be formed. Fourth, such programmes and framework models should have reproducible practical examples;

Li Jun, associate professor of the Institute of Educational Economics and Management of the College of Vocational and Technical Education of Tongji University, believes that in the current context, it is an important shift to provide more vocational training for different types of rural needs. He believes that on the one hand, rural development is still facing many difficulties, and the rural population is declining, which makes the source of students in our rural school education declining. On the other hand, career changes must follow the changes in industry, such as migrant workers returning to the countryside, they may not be students with academic qualifications, but they also have the need to improve their skills.

In educational innovation, how to empower people in education scenarios? Huang Shengli, executive director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, believes that general education is the three dimensions of family, society and school, and in rural areas, family education is generally missing, and it is necessary to empower children through schools and communities. "Our country advocates the revitalization of rural education, and rural organizations and the government are exploring what kind of mechanism we use to provide a suitable education for children to grow." When schools are run vigorously, school education is vibrant. Diversified forces build a good educational ecology, so that children grow up to be very culturally confident, and love the countryside and the future. Whether it is to become a worker building a hometown or to be able to study in the future, it is a very full and full state. Huang Shengli said.

On the same day, Lei Yingfei, principal of Xuanwei Jingwai Mingde Primary School in Qujing City, Yunnan Province, Du Weijian, principal of Jinyun County Arts and Crafts School in Zhejiang Province, and Liu Yibing, principal of Lingziba Primary School in Xinghua Township, Tangchang County, Longnan City, Gansu Province, shared with the guests the innovative development road of their respective schools to explore the expansion of school functions in a live broadcast. The guests and the three principals had a warm and in-depth discussion on the evolution and generation path, opportunities and challenges of future rural schools, and believed that rural education is relatively backward, but its space is very large, and the future education is the education of people and the education of roots.
