To improve the quality of education in rural schools, I think the following measures can be taken:
1. Strengthen team building, focusing on the education of teacher ethics and ethics; style and discipline are to ensure that schools are run according to law , a means of coaching according to law!
2. Strengthen the improvement of teachers' core competencies, focus on the implementation of "internal introduction and external training" and the method of going out and inviting in, to cultivate the improvement of teachers' professional and technical abilities; such as special training and learning, on-the-job training, network Training, school-based textbook training, syllabus training and learning, etc...
3. Strengthen research on teaching research and teaching reform, find a teaching model suitable for this school, and strive to promote efficient classroom models so that everyone can take demonstration classes and demonstrate Lessons...
4. Focus on gathering wisdom and preparing lessons, strictly build the "six rings" of teachers, establish a relatively complete and complete reward mechanism, evaluation system, supervision and management, etc., to promote teachers' work enthusiasm and initiative …
5. Conduct regular parent-teacher meetings, student unions, teacher seminars, quality analysis meetings...
6. Establish weekly exams, monthly exams, joint exams, mid-term and final exams, etc. Assessment system, careful analysis and summary, and improvement of shortcomings. Write a good quality analysis, reflect and summarize, and carry out targeted training to strengthen the good and help the poor!
7. Strengthen class management and create a learning atmosphere, especially in terms of class culture construction, system construction, class cadre training, group building, theme class meetings, etc., to form a situation of independent management and scientific management , has a good class style and study style, attaches great importance to students' behavioral etiquette education, collectivism, patriotism education, etc.!
8. Allocate enough course hours, strive to open interest classes, specialty classes, regularly carry out various activities, cultivate students' interests and hobbies, and promote students' all-round development...
Time and sweat , work skillfully and hard, and the knowledge of methods is the truth! !
According to statistics, there are about 107,000 rural schools, most of which are primary schools and some middle schools. The problem faced by rural schools is the shortcomings of basic education in our country. How to improve the quality of rural schools? The quality of education must be highly valued. Let me talk about my personal views:
1. Conduct in-depth research and analysis of the current situation of rural schools and make scientific layout arrangements. In the past decade or so, with the rapid development of urbanization, great changes have taken place in the rural permanent population. Now some rural schools are unable to operate or have to be shut down. For example, a school has only one or a few students, and a school has only One or several teachers, rural schools generally lack teachers in music, sports and beauty, and some schools have more than 80 students in a class... etc. It is naturally difficult to guarantee the quality of education in rural schools. Especially with the relocation of rural poverty alleviation, some rural schools are also facing relocation problems. Under such circumstances, it is recommended that a comprehensive survey of rural schools be conducted nationwide on a county basis. Based on the investigation, combined with the relocation of rural poverty alleviation and rural The revitalization strategy involves re-planning the layout of rural schools, stopping what should be stopped, combining what should be combined, moving what should be moved, and building what should be built, adhering to a scientific and rational layout to benefit the country and the people.
2. Continue to increase investment in rural schools and improve the conditions for running rural schools. It is often said that no matter how poor you are, you cannot poor your children, and no matter how poor you are, you cannot poor your education. Education is the foundation of a country, and the shortcomings of basic education in rural schools must be made up. The state and local governments must continue to increase investment in education, especially in the development of rural schools, comprehensively improve the conditions for running rural schools, and build rural schools into The best and most beautiful place in the area.
3. Strengthen the introduction of talents in rural schools, focusing on the role of principals and key teachers. The key to determining the quality of education in rural schools lies in teachers, and the core to determine whether the school management level is high or not lies in the principal. Therefore, every rural school must select a good principal with both ability and political integrity and a strong sense of dedication, and then assign capable and qualified principals by grade. Highly caring backbone teachers, establish a communication and interaction mechanism between school principals and teachers, and a good school must select the right principal and use active teachers.
Fourth, comprehensively improve the salary of teachers in rural schools and fully mobilize the enthusiasm and initiative of teachers.
Effectively improve the treatment of rural school teachers, mainly including political treatment, salary, professional title promotion, living welfare, etc. Increase the education and training of teachers in rural schools to join the party and set an example; establish a promotion mechanism for outstanding teachers and an exchange mechanism with local civil servants to improve the political treatment of outstanding teachers. Increase teachers’ salaries and benefits, and establish a scientific evaluation and assessment system for teachers. Salaries and benefits should be fully linked to teaching effectiveness, achievements, and professional titles. Establish a scientific professional title promotion mechanism. Professional title promotion should fully reflect teaching level, teaching effect, teaching results, educational effect, courage to shoulder heavy responsibilities, etc., and put an end to simple ranking based on seniority. School leaders and education bureau leaders should care about the growth of teachers and improve teachers’ living and welfare benefits. Low wages and welfare benefits are the main reasons for the loss of outstanding teachers, and a reward mechanism for outstanding teachers must be established.
5. Effectively connect rural school construction and rural revitalization to expand the attractiveness of rural schools. By the end of this year, our country will win an all-round victory in the fight against poverty, and the Chinese nation will all enter a moderately prosperous society. The construction of rural schools must be fully integrated with the rural revitalization strategy. Beautiful villages must have beautiful schools. Beautiful schools must be at the forefront of rural revitalization, so that more young and promising teachers can devote themselves to rural education work, so that beautiful villages must have beautiful schools. The school becomes a unique scenery in the beautiful countryside.
In short, there is a long way to go to comprehensively improve the quality of rural school education, and it requires strong support from the whole society.
In order to improve the teaching quality of rural schools, we must first achieve two stabilizations, that is, stabilize students and stabilize teachers. Without these two stability, any talk is empty talk. Not to mention improving the quality of teaching, there are also problems with educational security.
This problem began in the 1980s. At first, teachers were unable to stabilize, then students became unstable. In recent years, both students and teachers became unstable, and the situation escalated step by step, becoming more and more serious. The reasons are: first, the rural teaching team is not stable, and second, the source of students is not stable.
The teaching team is not stable. First, it is due to the reorganization of the National Normal University. Second, it is unable to recruit teachers. Third, it is difficult to recruit and retain teachers.
The source of students cannot be stabilized. Firstly, the wave of migrant workers has swept away the students. Secondly, the imbalance of educational resources has scared away the students. Thirdly, the management of rural schools cannot keep up, education and teaching lag behind, and the quality of teaching The backwardness and so on have abandoned the source of students.
To be honest, the country attaches great importance to rural education and invests no expense in human, financial and material resources. When it comes to the infrastructure and construction of rural schools, they should be advanced and have fulfilled the promise of "no matter how poor we are, we can't afford education, and no matter how hard it is, we can't make children suffer."
But why can’t we keep people? This is indeed food for thought and cracking!
The current situation cannot be changed in a day, by one person, or by one school. It is caused by climate, environment, and concepts. It is even more difficult to change it. !
Despite this, as long as the country has policies, local governments have actions, the competent authorities have methods, principals have ideas, teachers have motivation, and society has understanding and support, I believe things will definitely change.
Rural education should first start with itself. Secondly, if you want to improve the quality of teaching, you must put yourself down and work hard. Maybe it will be no worse than in the city!
Will students leave if their grades are not bad? If the students don’t leave, will the teachers still run away? Rural education needs leaders!
This is a common question, but with the progress of society and the changes of the times, many things must keep pace with the times.
First of all, continue to increase support for rural teachers. The current situation of rural primary school teachers is that there is a large gap and they are older. The reason is simple. The conditions in rural areas cannot be compared with those in urban areas. It is understandable that young people want to display their talents and find a better platform. Therefore, if the government can continue to increase investment in promotion, life, etc., and let rural teachers feel some of the advantages of rural schools, their hearts will calm down, they will sink, and they will devote themselves to teaching. .
Second, provide better and more preferential policies to rural students.
With the rapid development of urbanization and the further deepening of reform and opening up, the living standards of the people are improving day by day, and the phenomenon of rural empty shells is becoming increasingly serious. In recent years, in order to achieve educational equity, the country has allowed those with rural household registration to own a house in the city, or even rent a house, and their children can go to school nearby when they reach school age. The original intention of the policy was good, but it increased the intensity and breadth of the loss of rural students. Our village is a village with a population of 4,000, and there are only 130 primary school students in school. The situation in other villages with a population of 1,000, 2,000, 2,000 or 3,000 is even less optimistic. If we want rural students to return, the country must introduce better policies.
Third, rural teachers should learn to carry forward the spirit of Yuan Longping and Zhong Nanshan and devote themselves to rural education. To forge iron, you must be hardworking, keep learning, keep improving, be strict with yourself, regardless of fame and fortune, let the winds blow from the east, west, east, west, stick to the green hills and never relax, be yourself, and do all the work at hand.
With concerted efforts and united will, rural education will definitely have new opportunities.
I think the key is whether the higher-level departments are determined to improve the teaching quality of rural schools. The key is whether the higher-level departments are determined. In a word, the key is whether they are willing to spend money to provide enough Problems of teachers of various subjects in rural schools. The key is whether the higher-level departments are willing to change the problem that one teacher in rural schools has to take on the teaching tasks of several subjects at the same time. The methods you discussed are indeed effective for urban schools, but they have little effect on rural schools. It’s not that rural school leaders don’t know what to do, but they actively do it. But why has it had little effect? This is because every teacher in a rural school has to teach at least two or even three more subjects at the same time. The professional development of rural teachers is extremely difficult and the price paid is too high. Only when the state fully equips teachers in various subjects, and allows professional teachers to teach each subject like urban schools, and each teacher only teaches his or her own professional courses, can conditions be created for the professional development of rural teachers and the quality of rural schools truly improved. Teaching quality.
The teaching quality of a school is the lifeline of the school. The fewer and fewer students in rural schools is mainly related to the teaching quality of the school. If a school wants to retain students, it must first retain teachers. If the skin is gone, how will the hair be attached? When excellent teachers leave, who will improve the quality of teaching and cultivate excellent students? 1. Retain good teachers and do everything possible to mobilize teachers’ enthusiasm.
In teaching, we often say that "students are the main body and teachers are the leader." An excellent teaching team is the core resource of the school and the most important factor in improving the quality of school teaching. 1. Introduce policies and improve remuneration so that good teachers can be retained. In 2018, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's "Opinions on the Construction of the Teacher Team in the New Era" clearly stipulates the evaluation of professional titles: "Those who have worked in rural areas for ten years will be promoted to the intermediate level, to the deputy senior level after twenty years, and to the full senior level after thirty years." This is This regulation has well stabilized the rural teaching team. It is said that some urban teachers in some counties now go to rural areas to teach and start taking exams. 2. Strengthen the construction of teachers' ethics and ethics and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of teachers. 3. Actively carry out teaching and scientific research activities, strengthen teacher training, and improve the level of teachers so that teachers can teach good students. 2. Strengthen school management and create a good school spirit.
School management is a science, and we must seek benefits from management. A good school spirit must be established at the school level, and a good study style must be established at the class level. Only when the school spirit is positive and the learning style is strong can we create a good atmosphere that encourages students to learn and help, and can form a positive learning atmosphere. Only then can the improvement of teaching results be just around the corner, and students can be retained. 1. Leaders are the key
As the saying goes: "If you want a car to go fast, you have to lead it at the front." The principal is the soul and core of a school. To evaluate a school, you must first look at the principal. A school is like a principal. A good principal is a good school. These fully illustrate the critical status and role of the principal in school management.
The principal represents the school externally and exercises unique administrative power internally. His thoughts and actions directly or indirectly affect the working status of teachers. Therefore, whether the teaching quality of the school is good or bad, the principal's guidelines are also very important. Quality is the external image of a school. A school without quality is equivalent to an enterprise without a brand and without market competitiveness. If a principal has no virtue and incompetence, his virtue will not match his position. If there is no overall view, the pattern is too narrow, and the central work of education and teaching is ignored, teachers will lose their goals and motivation to move forward, and they will feel at a loss when working, and the school's work focus will deviate from the right track.
The second is that if the school atmosphere is not harmonious, there will be intrigues between various leadership levels, inconsistencies, overt and covert conflicts, and chaotic school management. I would like to ask how the school can continue to operate, how the school teachers can teach with confidence, how the students can learn with peace of mind, and how the quality of teaching can be improved! Therefore, improving the quality of school teaching is not just about shouting slogans! Only when the principal and school leading cadres position themselves correctly, correct their mentality, and unite as one to follow their orders can the school operate normally and the quality of teaching be discussed.
People-oriented, focusing on talent cultivation, and establishing its own professional talent team.
For schools to develop, it lies in the continuous improvement of the quality of education and teaching. If the quality of education and teaching is to be improved, a professional team of teachers is necessary. The teaching team of a school is composed of new teachers, young and middle-aged teachers, and veteran teachers. Among these three groups, it is obvious that young and middle-aged teachers are the backbone of school education and teaching, and new teachers are relatively weak. Therefore, rural schools cannot ignore the importance of cultivating newcomers in their own schools. The development of teachers' professional level is the key to school development. Only in this way can the continuous improvement of school education and teaching quality be guaranteed. New teachers, due to the lack of education and teaching practice, are all graduates who have just stepped out of college. They have solid subject theoretical knowledge and education and teaching theoretical knowledge. However, due to the lack of education and teaching practice, they need an understanding and adaptation to education and teaching in a short period of time. process. Therefore, schools must take measures to help them become competent in education and teaching as early as possible.
Conduct various trainings for new employees.
In order to enable new teachers to quickly adapt to the new environment and new positions after taking up their posts, pre-job training must be conducted for new teachers. Through training, students can have a preliminary understanding of the teaching routines of the job, which will help them adapt to teaching work as soon as possible after taking up the job. The second is to send young teachers to visit and study in other places, as well as professional training and other methods to promote the rapid growth of young teachers, and finally be able to stand on their own.
Through methods such as mentoring and apprenticeship pairing, the old can lead the new.
After new teachers enter the school, the school should arrange for experienced teachers with rich teaching experience to pair up with them to provide support. In this way, in the teaching practice of new teachers, they will always have the help and guidance of their old teachers, so they will avoid detours and grow quickly.
For example, take my school. Every year, the school allows new teachers to become apprentices to an old teacher. We are commonly known as the "Blue Plan" where old teachers lead new teachers. As masters, veteran teachers should provide guidance to them in teaching aspects such as lesson preparation, writing, class attendance, and correction, to help them grasp the rules of subject teaching, become familiar with subject teaching methods, continuously improve teaching levels, and develop standardized teaching behaviors. In this way, a professional team belonging to the school will be cultivated, so that the school's teaching team will continue to grow and inject new blood!
Care about teachers and students
As a leader, you should talk to teachers more, go into the hearts of teachers, ask about their life and work difficulties, and listen more to their problems. Classes make them feel that the school cares about their growth, and they will be more motivated to work. Verbal care is sometimes a way to boost morale.
Improve remuneration and retain talents
This is the most important point. Even if a good school has good conditions, it will eventually return to the most important starting point.
School welfare benefits are a powerful tool to retain talents and make teachers feel at ease! If we narrow the regional salary gap and retain talents so that teachers can teach with peace of mind, the quality of teaching will not be improved.
Conclusion: In short, improving the quality of education and teaching in rural schools is in line with the requirements of the times and is also the need for the development of school education. As teachers, we have a long way to go.
To be honest, overall, the teaching quality of rural schools is not very different from that of urban schools. The most intuitive data is the college entrance examination pass rate. High schools with pure urban students are not necessarily better than high schools with rural students. Just check the relevant data and it will become clear. The vast majority of students with rural registered permanent residence enrolled in high schools receive nine years of compulsory education in rural schools.
When evaluating the quality of school teaching, one cannot generalize. One class, one class, and one division cannot represent one school, and one school cannot represent all schools.
If there is poor teaching quality, the school principal should take corresponding measures to solve it in a timely manner, and the Director of the Education Bureau cannot sit idly by. In this way, the "difference" cannot remain unchanged.
Focusing on quality is normal and should not be neglected. Improving the quality of rural teaching is inseparable from process management.
Stabilizing the teaching staff in rural schools is key.
If you think about it, the teachers in the school are unstable. The older ones are generally "local" ones. They are either too old or facing retirement. The newly recruited teachers cannot stay in the village primary school forever, even if While you are at work, you should also be prepared for your "take-off". This is natural and understandable. Well, as for students, school teachers are unpredictable, and they change teachers as soon as they get used to it.
Then there is the current rotation system, which has "fueled the flow" of teachers in rural primary schools. Therefore, if we want to improve the teaching quality of rural schools, the relative stability of teachers is very important!
I am @education人王福明, how to improve the teaching quality of rural schools? This question is a little awkward.
The reason is that the teaching quality of rural schools is deteriorating. I would describe it as getting worse and worse, which is really worrying. Thank you for your concern for rural education.
To improve rural education, Wang Fuming, an educator in a township middle school, suggested the following steps: First, further improve the treatment of rural teachers
Although in the minds of many people, Nowadays, the salary of teachers is very good, but the salary of rural teachers is not high. To be honest, in recent years, the country has attached great importance to education, and teachers’ remuneration has been greatly improved, such as rural subsidies, etc. This is why the admission scores of teacher majors have been getting higher and higher in recent years, especially in the six public-funded normal schools. Obviously, there has been a "blowout" phenomenon in the public recruitment of teachers in many places.
Due to the imbalance of regional conditions in our country, there are economic differences. Generally speaking, teachers in economically developed coastal areas are treated very well; but in economically underdeveloped areas, teachers are treated relatively poorly; and the difference between urban and rural areas in the same area is even greater.
As the saying goes, the economic base determines the superstructure. With an economic foundation, rural education will be easier to manage.
First, the status of rural teachers has improved. Even if they teach in rural areas, although they have a bad reputation, the economy is not bad; second, family personal problems have been solved. Now some people who teach in rural areas are looking for candidates. It is difficult, so some people are unwilling to engage in education just because of this; Third, the happiness index of rural teachers has improved, and people are willing to come to the countryside!
As long as the salary is improved, relatively speaking, there will be fewer rural teachers working in districts and counties. Of course, in addition to this economic factor, there are other factors that affect the urban area.
Second, strengthen investment in rural school infrastructure
According to my observation, the basic investment in rural education is still relatively weak, especially the difference between urban and rural areas. I suggest that the country should learn from the education in European countries such as Finland and Switzerland. , even if there is only one student in the school, the investment in infrastructure is exactly the same as the investment for a hundred, a thousand or more students.
The current hardware investment in rural infrastructure is a lack of investment in school buildings. This is one; the other is that there is less investment in software facilities. For example, there is less investment in the training of rural teachers. Secondly, there is less investment in teachers, which means that fewer students who graduate from formal teacher majors go to rural areas to engage in education. Second, we hope to strengthen management
Rural schools are generally far away from districts and counties, and they feel a bit like the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Many times, the education administrative department does not manage well. It may inspect the work once a year at most in spring and autumn. The education committee (or education bureau) may not know what the school is doing.
For example, teachers may leave school early, or have half-day classes, etc. In the large aspect, we need to strengthen the supervision of all teachers. In the small aspect, we need to strengthen the supervision and management of the principal. In the management of the principal, we should promote those who are capable and remove those who are not, and implement an appointment system.
The principal is the soul of the school. Does the principal really care about the quality of teaching? This is from the perspective of the education administration department.
In addition, the school must have an effective management system and incentive system. According to @educatorwangfuming's observation, although the district and county where I live has implemented performance appraisal, the fact is that all schools eat from the same big pot, whether they do it or not do it is the same, and there is no difference. This is mainly the responsibility of the principal. He is afraid of offending others and the principal should be a good gentleman. Performance must reflect more work, more gain, less work, and no work. If you teach poorly, you should get less. Third, institutionalize the issuance of 30 rural teacher certificates
The first rural teacher certificate was issued in 2016, but netizens reported that in some places, it has not yet reached the hands of teachers the first time, and some teachers have already Even after retirement, you still haven’t got it. From the national and Ministry of Education levels, rural teachers should be institutionalized for 30 years without any interruption in the middle.
Although this certificate is currently just a certificate and does not bring any tangible benefits, it is also a spiritual encouragement for rural teachers and to a certain extent, it is also a spiritual wealth. Of course, it would be better if the certificate can be truly reflected in professional title promotion, priority in evaluation, transportation, and discounts at tourist attractions. Fourth, strengthen the training of rural teachers
Teachers need to constantly recharge and learn. Rural teachers generally have low academic qualifications, few opportunities for training and learning outside, and narrow vision. From the national and Ministry of Education levels, a rural teacher training system has been specially formulated to allow rural teachers to go out, broaden their horizons, and become more informed. In addition, the education authorities can also take the lead and form alliances with prestigious schools to provide counterpart support. Fifth, set up a special one-time compensation allowance for rural teachers when they retire
Rural teachers will receive one-time compensation when they retire (that is, people often provide an increase in one month’s salary, or one year’s salary), providing rural teachers with a one-time compensation. Economic compensation will also allow them to retire with peace of mind. More importantly, it will recognize and recognize rural teachers for their outstanding contributions to grassroots education for at least thirty years.
This is also the country’s emphasis on and respect for the countryside, which makes more rural teachers willing to engage in rural education throughout their lives. Sixth, strictly implement targeted enrollment.
The fact is that the current educational resources are unfair, and the phenomenon of "pinching" is particularly serious. The loss of good students is particularly obvious in every local town. Take our school as an example. This year, more than 40 people went to the district school, which was within the enrollment scope of our school. At the most, more than 100 people went out.
It would be easier for rural schools to run schools if the education authorities strictly implemented targeted enrollment. In fact, this is impossible. First of all, the leader does not follow the rules. It’s just hope and vision.
Conclusion
If the above five points can be truly achieved, the quality of rural education should be improved. As a rural education staff member, I hope that the quality of rural education will improve. This is also the vision of @education人王福明!
