Do children want to attend extracurricular subject training classes? Principals and experts have something to say

Since January, Beijing has suspended all offline education and training. According to reports, many districts in Beijing have once again strengthened the rectification of the education and training market. The stock prices of leading training institutions such as New Oriental and Good Future once suffered a sharp decline, and the market value evaporated by tens of billions. Although it has been a few days since the start of school, Beijing's education and training institutions have not yet resumed classes, and Huangzhuang, Haidian, once a lively education and training concentration, is still "quiet". Whether children should attend extracurricular training classes; whether off-campus institutions should be completely banned; has become a hot topic.

Two Sessions Voices:

Where do off-campus institutions go? Outlawed outright or strengthened?

At this year's two sessions, the relevant topics of off-campus training institutions have also attracted the attention of many deputies and committee members. Chen Zhonghui, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, believes that the pressure on children by off-campus training institutions is too great, in addition to after school tuition, even every day the axis rotates: white plus black, five plus two, winter and summer vacations do not have to rest; the amount of homework is difficult, and some problems are also very difficult for adults to do. He recommended the complete abolition of off-campus training institutions.

Zhou Hongyu, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and a professor at Central China Normal University, believes that parents have individual needs for their children's education, so off-campus training institutions themselves are objective things that meet diversified needs. However, a number of off-campus education counseling institutions aimed at boosting test-taking education are rapidly deteriorating China's education ecological environment, dissolving the role and effectiveness of quality education reform, and its vicious development and abnormal operation urgently need to be curbed and standardized. This is the most prominent problem in this regard at present and needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

Principal's View:

Gong Zhifa, principal of Chengdu Foreign Chinese School: Long-term opposition to cram schools

"You can't learn well in 5 days at school, can you learn well in half a day's training class outside?" For off-campus tuition, Gong Zhifa, the principal of Chengdu Foreign Chinese School, has always been opposed.

"Learning is good or bad is taught by schools, not by training institutions." Gong Zhifa stressed that parents and students must have this awareness: school teachers are definitely more professional than training institutions, "training institutions are talking about problem solving, they will only tell you that there are several solutions to this problem, and school teachers tell you why this problem is solved this way, what is the process of proof and reasoning, "Students have the process of participation and experience learning in the school classroom." ”

Fan Bin, Principal of Chengdu Wuhou Foreign Chinese School:

There is nothing wrong with checking for leaks and filling in the gaps, and it is imperative to promote the growth of seedlings

"The baton of the middle and high school entrance examinations has not changed, the grades are still an important criterion for measuring students' learning, and students with poor grades participate in off-campus remedial studies and check for omissions and fill in the gaps, which is actually beyond reproach." Fan Bin believes that parents and students are not wrong in pursuing good grades and impacting good universities. Off-campus training institutions meet the individual needs of parents and students, and have its significance.

"There is indeed a lot of chaos in off-campus training, and some bad institutions that are aimed at making profits and obtaining huge profits impersonate famous teachers to deceive parents and slander school teachers in front of students, so that everyone feels that the teaching of training institutions is better than that of regular schools." Even for tens of thousands of yuan of tuition fees, there are institutions that use gimmicks to ensure that students increase by tens of points to mobilize students to leave the school. Fan Bin said that the bad hype of these bad training institutions has made parents collectively anxious, poor grades should improve their grades, good grades should go to a higher level, and everyone has a "child of others" in their hearts, resulting in all students taking "tonics". Fan Bin believes that on the one hand, the competent departments should increase the rectification of bad institutions, on the other hand, parents should also remain sober, if the child's performance is not good, it is necessary to check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and can be properly remedied. If you hold the idea of "not letting the child lose at the starting line" and go outside the school to carry out advanced and super-outlined seedling-assisted tuition, it is absolutely impossible.

Institutional Perspective:

The value of the existence of training institutions is to meet the needs of students at different levels

Should training institutions be banned altogether? What is the value of the existence of training institutions? What is social function? How to regulate development? The cover news reporter interviewed the heads of several large training institutions in Chengdu.

"At present, the business carried out by large-scale training institutions mainly includes comprehensive discipline training and quality education and training, and some institutions take language, mathematics and foreign language as a special service. For social needs, I think that training institutions meet the needs of two types of families in children's education, one is the basic gap, this part of the students have shortcomings in the discipline, in school learning can not meet the basic learning standards and requirements, need to fill the knowledge gaps and blind spots; the second type is to further enhance the demand, this part of the family group is indeed more, especially in large and medium-sized cities, the parents' knowledge level, family economic income and expectations for the future development of their children are relatively high, School learning cannot meet the needs of these 'underfed' children, and objectively speaking, their needs in turn promote training institutions to provide more diversified services. A person in charge of a Training Institution in Chengdu told reporters.

In his view, it is not advisable for training institutions to achieve the purpose of enrollment by playing the card of encouraging social group anxiety, but training as a supplement to school education is of value from the perspective of meeting the needs of students at different levels. "After all, today's parents are well-informed, and they have a lot of requirements for the services provided by the institution, drama, speech, financial business, Chinese studies, thinking training, science experiments, STEM courses, and even sports jump rope training, which are all in demand."

However, another person in charge of a large training institution in Chengdu also admitted that after the state introduced strict governance measures for training institutions, institutions have made relatively large adjustments in the direction of training, especially in discipline training, which is basically based on basic knowledge training, "The source of students has decreased." ”
