Your proposed "Suggestions on Enhance Cultural Confidence and Increase the Reform of Teaching in Chinese Cultural Content and Reduce the Proportion of English Teaching" are received, and the reply is now as follows.
1. Suggestions on "Add to increase or increase the teaching of Chinese traditional culture , such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that children can get in touch with our Chinese culture at the critical moment of the formation of a world outlook, and increase our cultural pride and cultural confidence from an early age"
Chinese excellent traditional culture is the root and soul of the Chinese nation. Education for Chinese excellent traditional culture is of great significance to "who to cultivate". The Ministry of Education has always attached great importance to the education of China's excellent traditional culture, guided students to inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and strengthened cultural confidence.
1. Strengthen the design of the education system for excellent traditional Chinese culture. In 2021, the Ministry of Education developed and issued the " Guide to the Curriculum Textbook for Chinese Excellent Traditional Culture into Primary and Secondary Schools" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines"), which coordinated the implementation of the requirements for Chinese Excellent Traditional Culture and Education in primary and secondary school curriculum textbooks, and clarified the basic principles, overall goals, main content, carrier form, stage and subject requirements, etc. The primary and secondary school curriculum has formed a "3+2+N" discipline structure arrangement with the unified three subjects as the main body, art (music, fine arts, etc.), sports and health disciplines with emphasis, and other disciplines are organically penetrated.
2. Organically integrate into the excellent traditional Chinese education with the focus on Chinese language, morality and rule of law (ideology and politics), history and other disciplines. In order to implement the requirements of the "Guidelines", compulsory education and general high school curriculum textbooks further strengthen the education of excellent traditional Chinese culture. In 2022, the Ministry of Education revised and issued the compulsory education curriculum plan and curriculum standards. Among them, the main carriers of the theme of "Chinese Excellent Traditional Culture" in Chinese are Chinese characters, calligraphy, traditional festivals, etc.; morality and law encourage schools to carry out exchanges and display activities such as traditional festivals, clothing, architecture, etc., so that students can understand my country's splendid culture; history focuses on cultivating students' sense of identity with China's excellent traditional culture by letting students understand the oracle bone inscriptions , Dujiangyan project, "Four Great Inventions", etc.; art guides students to appreciate Chinese folk art works such as paper cutting, shadow puppetry , New Year pictures; sports and health specially set up the "Chinese Traditional Sports Sports" course content; physics guides students to understand ancient bronze and iron manufacturing technology in my country and its role in promoting social progress. The current unified Chinese textbooks are compiled with famous works such as "Three Character Classic", "The Rules of Disciples", and "The Analects of Confucius"; the moral and legal textbooks are quoted with ancient classics such as " Book of Rites ", "Xunzi", " Aphorisms Joint " to guide students to strive to study hard from an early age; the history textbooks are introduced and quoted with "Historical Records" and " Han Shu ", etc., to cultivate students' ability to read historical materials. Ordinary high school Chinese language integrates the content of excellent traditional Chinese culture into compulsory, selective and elective; ideological and political courses guide students to learn to view traditional culture dialectically. The textbooks guide students to firmly believe in the " four self-confidences " by quoting the allusion of "learning to walk in Handan, losing their original actions"; the art compulsory courses require understanding of the modeling language, creative concepts and cultural connotations of excellent traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting and folk art , and be able to be comprehensively used; the physics compulsory courses allow students to understand the understanding and application of magnetic phenomena in ancient my country and its impact on human civilization.In addition, the comprehensive practice activity of primary and secondary schools courses recommends theme activities such as "Our Traditional Festivals" to enhance students' practical experience in education of excellent traditional Chinese culture.
3. The key textbooks of Horse Engineering are organically integrated into the education of excellent traditional Chinese culture. In the key textbooks of the Ministry of Education's Horse Engineering, such as "History of Ancient Chinese Literature", " History of Chinese Aesthetics ", and "History of Chinese Opera", the origin, development and historical context of China's excellent culture are systematically explained from different angles such as history, literature, and aesthetics, and fully reflect the rich connotation and valuable experience of China's excellent traditional culture.
4. Include the excellent traditional Chinese culture into the college entrance examination. Attach importance to the reform of the content of the college entrance examination, and based on the high school curriculum standards and the talent selection requirements of colleges and universities, a content system for comprehensive examination of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor. In recent years, we have focused on examining the relevant contents of China's excellent traditional culture through various forms, guiding students to enhance their sense of national identity and national pride, and strengthen their ideals and beliefs.
2. Suggestions on "reducing the proportion of English teaching and taking the proportion of scores in the exam. English learning is necessary, but it is not necessary to take up that long time and pay attention to the degree that is even a bit deformed" and "reforming the English teaching methods, no longer taking the best scores for the exam as the only purpose, but focusing on oral dialogue and life application"
1. The proportion of foreign language classes in primary and secondary schools is lower than that in Chinese and other subjects. Foreign languages are an important part of the comprehensive development of students' morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor. They help to cultivate and develop students' language ability, cultural awareness, thinking quality, learning ability and other core literacy, and cultivate students' Chinese sentiment, international vision and cross-cultural communication skills. The "Compulsory Education Curriculum Plan (2022 Edition)" stipulates that the proportion of courses for each subject is: 20%-22% in Chinese, 13%-15% in mathematics, 10%-11% in sports and health, 6%-8% in foreign languages, etc. According to the "General High School Curriculum Plan (2017 Edition Revised in 2020)", the proportion of compulsory foreign language courses in general high schools accounts for about 7% of the total compulsory credit hours. Foreign language class hours are significantly lower than those in Chinese, mathematics, physical education, art and other subjects.
2. Determine the proportion of foreign language examinations according to central requirements. In 2014, the State Council issued the "Implementation Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Examination and Enrollment System", which clearly stipulated that the Chinese, mathematics, and foreign language subjects of the unified college entrance examination remain unchanged and the scores remain unchanged. The current foreign language unified examination arrangements are determined in accordance with the central government’s top-level design for the college entrance examination reform.
Next step, the Ministry of Education will strengthen the training and implementation guidance of primary and secondary schools, organize the revision of compulsory education textbooks, continue to promote the implementation of the construction plan for the construction of university, primary and secondary schools and the management measures for the textbooks of colleges and universities, deepen the comprehensive reform of the college entrance examination, further strengthen the education of excellent traditional Chinese culture, guide students to strengthen cultural confidence, and consciously promote the excellent traditional Chinese culture.
