Starting from Xinping Yi Dai Autonomous County county town, driving along the winding mountain road for about 18 kilometers. The "Strive for a New Journey and Yunnan is safer" full-media interview team recently arrived at Xinping County Hongxing Middle School located in the Panahei Group of Hongxing Village Committee of Pingdian Township. This is the first vocational school in Yuxi City.
"The school's enrollment targets are minors who are over 12 years old and under 18 years old, who have severe bad behaviors in , as well as minors with regular learning, psychological, moral behaviors, difficulty for parents to discipline, and difficulty for schools to educate." Gong Zhaoping, principal of Hongxing Middle School, introduced that the school began to be established in early 2021 and began to enroll students on June 30 of that year. The campus covers an area of 4,212 square meters and has classrooms, dormitories, infirms, psychological counseling rooms, video monitoring rooms, etc. The students generally study at school for more than 3 months, with a maximum of no more than 3 years.
"The school was very difficult and stressful when it was established." Li Xing, member of the Standing Committee of Xinping County Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, told reporters that in 2019, Xinping County cracked down on some gangs of gangs and evil forces during the special campaign to crack down on gangs and eliminate evil. Some minors aged 12 to 18 were among the members of the gang. These "problem teenagers" often "do not make big mistakes or make small mistakes" in society. Because they are young, they can only criticize and educate them and their guardians, but the results are not good. There are also some families with better financial conditions who are spoiled or slack in education, which causes their children to be disgusted with school and skip classes, and then engage in bad behaviors such as fighting and theft. How to manage these "problem teenagers" well and eliminate the adverse effects on society has become an urgent problem to be solved.
In order to promote the construction of specialized schools, Xinping County has established the Xinping County Special Education Steering Committee with the county party secretary and county magistrate as both directors, and continues to invest funds to improve the standardization and standardization of the construction and operation of specialized schools. As of August this year, Xinping County Hongxing Middle School has enrolled three batches of students, and 56 students have graduated and left school. The school is gradually becoming an important place for Yuxi City to strengthen the education and correction of "problematic teenagers", contributing to maintaining and promoting social harmony and stability.
"When I came here, I changed a lot... I got rid of the habit of stealing things and fighting... I learned to fold quilts, play badminton, and sew clothes by myself." During the interview, the reporter saw an essay written by 12-year-old Xiaofu (pseudonym), after entering the school. Although the handwriting was crooked, the true feelings were revealed between the lines: after leaving school, I would listen to my parents' words, help my parents do what they can, and when I grow up, I hope to be a useful person to society.
"Many students first entered the school with colorful hair, tattoos on their bodies, and swear words." Gong Zhaoping said that in order to help students correct their bad living habits, the school adopts a fully boarding, closed, militarized, and points-based management, which is under the supervision of the county education and sports bureau and the county public security bureau.
In view of the individual's particularity, Hongxing Middle School insists on teaching according to its aptitude, formulates personalized textbooks and points management methods, focusing on five aspects: "behavior development, psychological correction, cultural gap filling, skill training, and each creating its own extreme", and has opened 10 courses including morality and rule of law, music, sports, and Chinese. In addition, students are also organized to participate in military training, watch patriotic videos, and sing revolutionary songs to cultivate a sense of loving the party, patriotism, and socialism. The county public security bureau, procuratorate, the health committee, the Communist Youth League and other departments also often go to the school to carry out legal education and mental health education. The school will also organize students to grow flowers, vegetables, play basketball, and play Go. Through colorful labor and educational games, guide the "problem boys" to return to the right path.
After careful education and correction, students' bad behaviors in each period have changed significantly: less swear words, more interest in learning, much better life skills, and the rate of students' resumption of school reached 100%, and the rate of transformation reached 92%. After graduation, each student is willing to go back to the corresponding school to continue studying, and his sense of gratitude to his parents has been significantly enhanced. Some parents said with emotion that they finally had a good sleep when they saw the changes in their children; the former school also reported that the former "naughty children" have been much more worry-free now, the number of people who control dropouts and ensure school attendance has decreased, and the number of people who interfere in and around the school has also decreased.In June this year, Xiaofu won the title of "Excellent Student" in the monthly evaluation of Hongxing Middle School. Due to his good performance, he left school after a comprehensive assessment in August.
Li Xing introduced that in the next step, Hongxing Middle School will recruit students from Yuxi City and the whole province. "We will not give up any 'problem teenagers', because helping them is an important social responsibility."
