Education is the great plan of the country and the foundation of the nation. On July 24, 2021, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Further Reducing the Homework Burden and the Burden of Off-campus Training for Students in the Compulsory Education Stage, which gave a strong dose of medicine to the stubborn and chronic disease of off-campus training chaos, and the wheel of the "arms race" for primary and secondary school students after class was pulled down and braked.
The old saying cloud, an inch of time and an inch of gold, is for persuasion rather than for brushing points. Once upon a time, hands-on practice and innovative thinking were extravagant for children who were busy with subject classes. Now, the time after class is returned to the child, how to spend it so as not to waste the good time?
This puts forward qualitative and quantitative requirements for after-school services inside and outside the school. While the school has made great efforts as the main front, all sectors of society have also issued a call to the streets and communities - to run the "doorstep" after-school services, so that children can obtain a wider range of knowledge, develop artistic and sports aesthetics, try scientific practice, and exercise labor skills.
In the six months since the "double reduction" landed, the Shanghai street community has made many beneficial attempts. In the future, how to meet the needs of a wider range of residents and integrate the resources of all parties more efficiently to gradually establish and improve the after-school service function system, we listened to the ideas of parents and students, and also interviewed the NPC deputies and CPPCC members who paid attention to it.
Parents complain
Ms. Wu, a pre-kindergarten parent: The community brings a sense of belonging, and hopes to increase quality development and counseling and Q&A
"Look, this is our aesthetic education course, it's amazing! There is also a community public account, every week will push 'double minus' small class, there are small experiments, handicrafts, simple cooking, children have more time to learn some of their own interests, broaden their horizons, increase their insights, but also give us a strong sense of belonging. ”
Speaking of the community activities she has participated in in the past six months, Ms. Wu, who lives in Linfen Road Street, is full of praise. Her daughter He Miao is in the preparatory grade at Shanghai Jiulong Model Middle School, in the past, He Miao's after-school time was almost occupied by language, mathematics and English training classes, but since last year's "double subtraction", she bid farewell to the subject class and arranged her own after-school time, and a series of activities in the community provided her with a wealth of choices.
At the same time, the mother and daughter also expressed their expectations: "I hope that the community can increase learning guidance, answer questions and answer questions on the homework of students who participate in after-school care; strengthen quality development, combine students' interests and strengths to open drama groups, club activities, etc.; for students who participate in later periods, arrange collective activities such as watching movies, performing and listening to expert lectures." ”

Mr. Wang, a dual-career family: often working late overtime, advocating volunteer mutual assistance in evening care
Mr. Wang's family in Baoshan District is a dual-career family, and when both husband and wife are working overtime, it is already eight or nine o'clock when they return home, and the school's extended service ends at six o'clock at the latest. Although the elderly in the family can come every three to five to help take care of the children, one cannot help with homework, and the other is that the elderly cannot withstand the toss.
"If the community can recruit some volunteers, such as us parents and enthusiastic residents to help each other, set up an evening care class for the children, help with homework, so that when the overtime is late, we can ask the community to help take care of the children for a while, and we can also rest assured."
Parents volunteer, and some people have taken the initiative to "proof": Han Dad of the Platinum Huafu community in Baoshan has actively signed up to become a parent volunteer counselor and formulated a series of public welfare courses for children aged 3-14, such as making "movie projectors", looking for "invertebrates" and "walking animals", "visiting community night spirits" and so on.
Ms. Gao: I hope to have a richer physical exercise venue and reading space
In Ms. Gao's home in Minhang District, her son in the first grade just caught up with the "double subtraction" landing, and last semester she signed up for the school's after-school delay service. However, Ms. Gao found that after the winter, the temperature was early and low, and it would take two kilometers to return from school, and it would be more convenient if the community service center three hundred meters in front of the house could provide after-school delay services.
"First, I hope to provide custodial services similar to schools, open sports places for students, such as table tennis, basketball courts, badminton courts, and have one or two volunteer teachers to lead the children; second, if I can set up a reading corner, it is better, not only my brother has a place to go, I can also take my sister to study here." Ms. Gao said.
Deputies and members discuss suggestions
Xu Xiaowei, deputy to the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress and principal of Daning International Primary School: Multi-subject after-school services broaden students' horizons
Xu Xiaowei proposed that after-school services can not only be carried out in a "small ecology" of the school, it should be promoted by multiple subjects, only the family, school, and society perform their duties, provide a benign and open growth environment for children, and participate in it together, in order to fundamentally eliminate the educational anxiety of the meritocracy theory and create a social atmosphere that returns to the essence of education.
"In the community, children of all ages can socialize with each other, with the upper grades leading to the lower grades. Some children may not have such opportunities in school, but in the community, they can show their elders, demonstrate and lead their younger siblings, and they can also make themselves more self-disciplined and have a higher sense of gain. Children form their rules of interaction with each other, so that the overall quality is improved. ”
Xu Xiaowei believes that teenagers need a wider range of activities, social scope, release their growth needs, one of the goals of education is to cultivate children's social development, the community can provide such an environment.
In addition, she also proposed that after the "double reduction", it is more required for schools to spend their energy on "improving quality", and professional teachers will study the improvement of homework quality and the reform of examination methods to achieve the reduction of burden without reducing the quality of teaching. In the personalized service of students after class, the school has opened some clubs and expanded many activities, which is very beneficial to enrich the development of children, if the community can also invest in resources and guarantees to enter the after-school service, as a school is very welcome.
"In the past, the community also had love summer nursery classes, and some of them also had their own 'youth centers' to provide volunteer support, so whether they could expand services during the after-school period during the semester and mobilize retired teachers in the community, sports, art, technology enthusiasts, and caring people to participate." Xu Xiaowei said.
Wu Gang, member of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Achievements Archives and Archives: To create an innovation laboratory at the "doorstep"
At this year's two sessions, Wu Gang put forward the proposal of building a "doorstep" youth science and technology innovation counseling station.
"A nation needs innovation, how to cultivate the innovative ability of young people? It is not enough to rely on doing problems, and to cultivate children from an early age, it is necessary to understand knowledge and do it with hands. Wu Gang recalled that he once taught his daughter physics to lead her to make her own experimental tools, thinking about how to connect wires to make light bulbs, so as to understand series, parallel, and application to life.
In the survey, he found from a sample survey that more than 66% of students believe that there is a need for a scientific and technological innovation exchange platform within walking distance, and more than 61% of students believe that the platform is best built directly in the community. Combining his educational experience and work experience in the Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Service Center, he increasingly feels that the innovation laboratory should be brought to the children, so that the teenagers can explore experiments and use their imaginations at any time within walking distance.
He also suggested that through the coordination of the city, combined with the existing scientific and technological innovation courses of middle school students, more scientific and technological innovation practice activities competitions, scientific research lecture group cooperation, design experiments and scientific research project training and other activities should be carried out to stimulate students' desire for knowledge, cultivate imagination, build a unified scientific and technological innovation exchange platform at the "doorstep" of young people, create and share, and open to the public, and the society will supervise the operation of the main body of the business.
"We can use the community library and the venue of the elderly activity room to provide daily experimental space and equipment, and mobilize enthusiastic volunteers, blue-collar craftsmen, teachers, and scientific researchers in the community to come here to be children's mentors and bring knowledge sharing to children." Wu Gang pointed out that the lack of existing mentors and insufficient coverage can be made up for by allocating a team of volunteers (mentor groups) as an important supplement to the youth science and technology innovation mentor team.
Rui Haiyan, member of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice president of the Shanghai Modern Architectural Planning and Design Institute of Huajian Group: Community resources are "linked" and the city is arranged as a whole
As the chairman of the China Construction Committee, Rui Haiyan's proposal this year is a proposal on how to improve future campus and community spatial planning in the context of the "double reduction policy".
"The 5+2 model requires the community to do a good job of supplementing, and the community is to solve the 'last mile' problem of after-school services, which parents welcome." It is only a matter of worry about the content of teachers and courses, because parents do not want simple hosting, but also hope to learn a small skill, make some good friends, and take on a little responsibility. ”
Rui Haiyan believes that community after-school services must do a good job in the "linkage" of community resources, and be organized and implemented by the relevant departments of the city. According to the actual situation, each district sorts out the resources of schools, enterprises and institutions, and talents from all walks of life in the district, and does a good job in overall planning and revitalization. She proposed that with the guiding ideology of "co-construction, co-learning and sharing", volunteers with "characteristic organizations and skills" are invited, representatives of the two sessions from all walks of life are hired as mentors, and social organizations are introduced to introduce curriculum resources in the form of third-party purchase services, thereby improving the level and diversity of after-school services in the community.
Wanting to promote community after-school services in a high-quality and balanced manner throughout the city, Rui Haiyan felt that "addition" and "subtraction" should be carried out at the same time. For example, our community has established a "new era civilization practice center sub-station" and "party and mass service center", and the two do "addition" work to jointly create a "community after-school service classroom". With the venue and resources, the value of the service is improved. With such "addition", our human, material and financial resources have been effectively streamlined, and such "subtraction" not only allows community workers to reduce their burdens, but also truly plays a role in "reducing burden and increasing efficiency".
Chai Shanshan, deputy to the National People's Congress and mail receiver of China Post Shanghai Postal District Center: Homework tutoring and sports go hand in hand
Chai Shanshan, a deputy to the National People's Congress, is a second-year-old father, Dabao is 12 years old this year, and Xiaobao is about to enter the first grade. As a father, he raised expectations for after-school services in the community:
"For dual-career families, overtime is relatively late and do not have the energy to tutor children's homework, some homework is not completed well, parents may find ways to spend money on some secretly opened tutoring classes, which is likely to breed a new education and training market." So, as the nearest convenience service area, can the community provide some after-school homework help? For example, recruit college students to work-study to volunteer. ”
In her communication with parents, Chai Shanshan found that everyone has high expectations for the community, in addition to homework tutoring, but also hopes to organize children to carry out sports, excellent cultural allusions and so on. In this process, the old party members and teachers in the community can be called in and interacted positively.
He also mentioned that in order to reduce the emergence of "small glasses", children's after-school exercise time should be guaranteed, and the importance of community sports venues and classes is highlighted. According to his observation, the current resources are relatively concentrated at the street level, such as the needs of some ball sports venues, families with a long distance, junior high school students can also travel together, but for primary school students is still safer and more convenient in the community. Therefore, if more physical exercise venues can be opened up at the community level, it will better meet the needs of students' after-school sports.
The community is trying
The "Digital Home" captures demand precisely
In Linfen Road Street, there are many children like Xiao He Miao who benefit from rich community activities. Since last year, Jing'an has promoted the pilot reform of the community Young Pioneers in 14 streets and towns in the district, and Linfen has taken this as an opportunity to promote the "children's heart cooperation" community Young Pioneers work brand. The activity position is nearby and complementary, such as the 59 entity points such as the jurisdiction bank, the jurisdictional hospital, and the jurisdictional public service place are included in the off-campus practice map; with 8 youth communities as the core radiation of 20 residential areas, children independently participate in the design and creation of a number of outdoor spaces with children's colors and youth elements.
In addition, with the help of intelligent platforms such as "People's Sentiment Log, Digital Cockpit" and "Smart Pro Small Two" built under the background of urban digital transformation, the street helps to accurately capture demand, optimize service supply, and effectively mobilize incentives. For example, the correlation analysis of more than 10 million pieces of public sentiment data accurately locates the distribution of dual-career families, children and resources in the community; for example, analyze which community activities are more participatory and popular to better optimize activities.
In the youth community of Lane 375, Linfen Road, with the application of "Wisdom Pro Small Two", the neighborhood committee does not close all day, especially the online "about space" function allows parent-child families to enjoy public spaces such as table tennis rooms, community activity rooms, parent-child reading rooms, dance rooms and other public spaces on weekends and evenings, and more "good places at the doorstep".
Considering the needs of parents and children, Linfen took the lead in introducing intelligent equipment such as backgammon robots and table tennis automatic serve machines in the Neighborhood Committee of Star City Huayuan Community, which greatly enriched the children's weekend life.
Some parents said: "Since the neighborhood committee has purchased these sports and entertainment equipment, it has really helped parents a lot!" In the past, they could only go to nearby sports venues, but now even if parents have no time to accompany them, children can also play ball and chess in the community, which is safe and can make friends. ”
Explore the "Grow Together" 15-minute service circle
In the autumn of 2021, Tianping Community School in Xuhui District actively responded to the policy, promoted the integration and sharing of resources, and carried out various major activities such as science and technology, sports and art for students according to local conditions, creating a healthy and beneficial 15-minute service circle of "growing together".
Every Saturday, the community school offers courses for more than three months, such as youth science and technology, AI courses, intelligent Internet of Things, Tao Luna laser shooting and brain movement courses, youth tennis, and parent-child storage practice.
During the 11th long holiday, with the main line of "promoting the spirit of the times, promoting the charm of intangible cultural heritage, and passing on the red gene", a series of parent-child activities such as "parent-child picture book reading", "idiom story drama performance", "movie viewing dubbing 'Enlightenment Of the Original Heart'", "Happy Parent-Child Time • Child Storage", intangible cultural heritage and grain mosaic were organized.
The community school also uses the advantages of the balance "Famous Family Workshop" to provide high-quality cultural resources for the schools in the jurisdiction to enter the campus, the calligraphy class of the "Qiuhaitang Culture and Art Center" has entered the eight primary and secondary schools in the jurisdiction; the children's Latin and idiom story drama performances have entered the primary schools and kindergartens, continuously expanding the school's education supply and enhancing the students' learning interest needs.
The "community small gentleman system" gives teenagers a sense of responsibility
In the 1930s, in Baoshan, Shanghai, the people's educator Tao Xingzhi proposed the "little gentleman system", emphasizing "the unity of teaching, doing and learning". Nowadays, Mr. Baoshan Xiao is not only active in the campus, but also through the platform of after-school services, to the community, and the happy life circle of the "double reduction" effect of teenagers has been formed.
As a demonstration point of "Mr. Community", Platinum Huafu Community relies on the construction of the vitality building group, allowing children to go out of the family, go to the building group, and integrate into the community, and carry out the "Little Mr. Building Group" project.
On July 28, veteran party members living in the community told the children the story of their hard work and assistance to Xinjiang, and encouraged the team members to cherish the hard-won happy life. Under the auspices of the Community Squadron Counsellor, the Election of the Minor Council of the Platinum Rainbow Council (Community Young Pioneer Squadron) was also held. Ten young pioneers who ran for the race issued a campaign declaration, confident and generous, full of enthusiasm, showing their strengths and strengths, and expressing their desire to contribute to the construction of the community.
In the past six months, there are many "fairy tale" stories of after-school services in the Shanghai community, and we can tell only a limited amount. To do a good job in after-school services, street community workers have taken the pace of exploration with a sense of mission, during the two sessions, the attention and suggestions from all walks of life will help the community to gather wisdom and linkage resources, effectively solve the urgent needs of parents and society, and help reduce the burden and improve the quality of future education.
