To run an education that satisfies the people, the quality of teaching is the key, and the guarantee of educational infrastructure is also an indispensable and important factor. In recent years, Haitang District of Sanya City has focused on the "urgency, hardship and longing" of the masses, made overall planning and precise policies, and continued to improve the construction of school infrastructure with the in-depth implementation of the "six major projects", and the education industry in the district has shown a good trend of healthy and efficient development.

In the past year, 1,050 new public kindergarten places have been added, so that more children can achieve a happy "start"

As the foundation of basic education, preschool education has a profound impact on early childhood development.

For a long time, due to the lack of public kindergartens, the problem of preschool children "difficult to enter public kindergartens and expensive to enter private kindergartens" is prominent, which makes many parents feel a headache for their children's schooling.

"At that time, I wanted my son to go to a public kindergarten, but in the end, I didn't make it." Recalling the tortuous experience of sending his children to school eight years ago, citizen Liang Cheng is still full of emotion.

Liang Cheng's regrets back then were finally made up for in his youngest daughter. In the fall semester of this year, his youngest daughter was successfully enrolled in the Haitang District Central Kindergarten near her home. This is a municipal-level demonstration park, which is not only close to home, low fees, but also satisfactory hardware facilities and teachers, which saves him a lot of worry.

From "headache" to "worry-free", many parents in Haitang District have the same feelings as Liang Cheng, which is due to a series of pragmatic measures to vigorously promote the construction of public kindergartens in Haitang District.

In order to make up for the gap in school places in a timely manner and meet the needs of the masses for public parks and high-quality kindergartens at their doorsteps, Haitang District continues to increase financial investment, take multiple measures to improve the conditions of kindergartens in the district, strengthen teachers, improve the quality of education, and achieve a breakthrough from "early education" to "excellent education".

By the end of 2023, 100% of preschool education in Haitang District will be universal, and 60% of children will be enrolled in public kindergartens, and the quality of kindergartens will be steadily improved. In addition to Haitang District Central Kindergarten was rated as a municipal demonstration park, Wanpo Kindergarten, Jianglin Kindergarten, Qingtian First Kindergarten, Third Kindergarten, and Fujiqiao Kindergarten 5 kindergartens were rated as municipal first-class parks. Qingtian No. 1 Kindergarten, Talent Base Kindergarten and No. 3 Kindergarten were also selected as pilot parks in the Provincial Education Quality Improvement Experimental Zone. In addition, the theme research and education activities of "teacher-child interaction" in Haitang District were promoted and shared in the exhibition and evaluation of Sanya.

Nowadays, when you walk into the public kindergartens in Haitang District, you can see spacious and bright kindergarten classrooms, rich and diverse play facilities, and spacious and safe outdoor playgrounds...... It has become a fairy tale world for children, and it is also an ideal place for children to grow up healthily and happily and learn more.

Cute "cute treasures" play the roles of chefs, doctors, performers, architects and other roles here, and have a lot of fun here, where children's imagination and creativity are fully cultivated and played.

By vigorously promoting the construction of public kindergartens, Haitang District has increased 1,050 places in the past year alone, basically realizing the goal of "going to a good kindergarten and entering a good kindergarten" for school-age children, so that more children can achieve a happy "start".

Focus on "high-quality and balanced" to make up for shortcomings and strengthen the foundation, and demonstrate the responsibility of education with heart and affection

Facing the future, the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has clarified the next goal of the reform and development of compulsory education: accelerating the high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education and the integration of urban and rural areas. This important exposition has pointed out the direction of progress and provided a fundamental basis for doing a good job in compulsory education in the new era.

The top-level deployment has a clear direction, and the details are planned and implemented. Since 2021, Haitang District has made overall use of 51.62 million yuan of various funds to ensure the construction of key livelihood projects, and the project construction process has been significantly accelerated.

The old teaching building of Jinshi Middle School in Haitang District was built in 1986. In 2015, Haitang District decided to build a new Jinshi School on the basis of the current one, merging Jinshi Middle School and Jinshi Primary School into a nine-year school.

"Our previous teaching environment was so poor, there was no air conditioning in the classrooms and dormitories on hot days, the children had to lie on the ground to cool off, and there was no hot water for bathing at night in winter." Pu Guoyou, principal of Jinshi Middle School, said that due to the unsatisfactory teaching environment, many parents have transferred their children to other schools, resulting in a large number of student losses, which has affected the teaching enthusiasm of teachers to a certain extent.

Nowadays, the new teaching building and dormitory building have been officially put into use, with a modern and atmospheric appearance and clear functional zoning, so that Jinshi Middle School has changed its old appearance and is full of vitality.

"Knowing that the new school building is going to be put into use, the campus environment has changed greatly, and many parents in the neighborhood have sent their children to study, and this year we have more than 800 students, more than 200 more than last year, which is a welcome change." Pu Guoyou said.

The story of Jinshi Middle School is just a microcosm of the development of education in Haitang District. By vigorously promoting the construction of educational infrastructure, a number of educational supporting projects, such as the primary school teaching building, junior high school teaching building, comprehensive administrative building, Linwang Middle School teacher's workshop and student dormitory building, have been completed and put into use. In the fall semester of this year, Haitang District added 235 primary school places and 590 junior high school places.

At the same time, on the basis of completing the air-conditioning installation of 7 primary and secondary schools in 2022, Haitang District will invest 1.61 million yuan in the air-conditioning installation of another 11 primary and secondary schools in 2023, realizing the full coverage of air-conditioning installation in primary and secondary schools in the district; Invested 7.25 million yuan to update the teaching equipment of 13 primary and secondary schools in the district; The "Nutrition Improvement Plan" was fully implemented, with an investment of 8.21 million yuan to protect the "Chinese meal" of 9,467 students in the district to ensure that students eat well and eat healthily.

The improvement of "key little things" brings care for the physical and mental health of students, and highlights the responsibility of education in Haitang District.

Promote the "six major projects" to improve the quality of education, and go all out to run an education that satisfies the people

In order to achieve the steady improvement of the quality of education and teaching, at present, Haitang District is vigorously promoting the "six major projects" of education quality improvement, covering the leadership of red candle party building, the cultivation of new high-quality schools, the cohesion of principals and teachers, the improvement of curriculum and teaching quality, the construction of dynamic and civilized campuses, and the construction of digital and intelligent campuses.

As the "leader" of school development, the principal's educational philosophy and values determine the pattern and characteristics of a school to a large extent. By carrying out the action of improving the quality of the principal team, Haitang District has optimized and adjusted a number of principals, established a four-level principal training system, and built a cascade principal training mechanism. This new assessment method breaks the traditional situation of "one appointment for life", and promotes the exchange and dissemination of excellent educational concepts and management experience.

At the same time, Haitang District has also accelerated the cohesion of teachers, relied on system management and systematic training to improve the quality of teachers, and vigorously cultivated a team of high-quality professional teachers with noble morals, exquisite professionalism, reasonable structure and vitality, and encouraged the majority of teachers and staff to become "Mr. Big" for students to learn, do things and be people.

In terms of doing a good job in teacher allocation, Haitang conducts unified assessment and re-appointment of non-staff teachers in the district, and establishes a reserve pool of non-staff teachers, and uniformly distributes non-staff teachers according to the needs of school posts, so as to promote the optimal and balanced allocation of primary and secondary school teacher resources in the district. In terms of optimizing and improving the quality of teachers, two rounds of optimization and allocation of teachers have been launched, so as to respect the "old and weak" teachers while fully considering the actual needs of improving the quality of teaching. At the same time, Haitang District also strives to change and improve the age structure and academic structure of teachers, improve the treatment of non-staff teachers, carry out the recruitment task of "silver-haired elites", and establish a teacher honor system such as the "Haitang Gardener Award" to establish a model and guide the teacher team to love and dedicate themselves to their jobs.

With the support of a series of measures, the overall average score of Haitang District in this year's high school entrance examination has increased by 67.18 points compared with 2023, ranking first among the five districts in Sanya (including Yucai Ecological Zone), with a pass rate of 6.7 percentage points and a low score rate of 10.31 percentage points, ranking first in the city in terms of the decline in low score rate. In addition, the overall score of Jinshi Middle School increased by 89.4 points, ranking first in the city.

"The education department of Haitang District will continue to focus on key links, take the high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education as the core, take 'running a beautiful education in Haitang' as the main line, and create new high-quality schools as the starting point, continuously increase investment in education, improve the inclusiveness, accessibility and convenience of education public services, and strive to run every school at the doorstep. At the same time, we should actively build a new pattern of school-led, family-involved, and socially coordinated education, and go all out to run an education that satisfies the people. Zhong Xiangneng, director of the Haitang District Education Bureau, said.
