Introduction: Cultivating the interests, hobbies and skills of primary and secondary school students is an important goal of modern education. The country hopes that through correct guidance, students can truly master skills and become interested in various things, rather than treating interests and hobbies as tools for further studies.
Now primary and secondary school students in various places are becoming more and more " intra-volume ". In addition to competing in academic performance, they also compete for various skills. Parents hope that their children can develop comprehensively and lay the foundation for future development.
It is precisely because the whole country has such demand that various training classes emerge in an endless stream, and various competitions around primary and secondary school students have emerged, which have constantly attracted the attention of parents.
In the past, many primary and secondary school students' competitions in my country were hosted by the state or related units. The final award-winning students will receive admission or extra points for admission. Driven by this kind of interest, those so-called hobby competitions gradually evolved into school competitions, and parents became even more crazy.
The Ministry of Education realizes that the link between competitions and admission to primary and secondary school students will cause the competition to lose its original purpose. Therefore, the Ministry of Education stipulates that except for the five high school subject competitions, the rest of the competitions must not be linked to further studies, and cannot be used as bonus points. All competitions for primary and secondary school students by non-governmental organizations will be cancelled without approval from the Ministry of Education.
The Ministry of Education issued a notice that these primary and secondary school competitions are completely suspended
More and more parents are helping students sign up for various competitions. The main goal is not to improve students' skills or abilities, but to hope to get extra points or be recommended through competition channels. In order to cater to this mentality of parents, many businesses will conduct false propaganda and exaggerate their effects, and then allow a large number of parents to sign up to gain more benefits.
From the specific situation, since 2018, the Ministry of Education has basically cut off the interest chain linked to competitions and admissions, examinations and training. All types of competitions in the preschool education stage and subject competitions in the compulsory education stage have been cancelled. Various types of competitions have withdrawn from the stage of history, but driven by interests, there will still be many institutions that will take risks and violate regulations.
According to the recent notice issued by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education has once again completely cleaned up illegal competitions for primary and secondary school students. These illegal competitions often appear in front of everyone, and many parents once thought this was an official event.
These competitions mainly include the Olympic English Competition (National Olympic English Composition Competition), Hope Cup (Hope Mathematics), MR National High School Student Media Works Selection, Mathematics Garden Exploration, Huashu Star, etc.
and the above so-called primary and secondary school students are all organized by local training institutions or education companies. They are not recognized by the Ministry of Education and cannot be used as any additional points for admission, so parents should not spend more time.
According to the author's understanding, , some social organizations will basically charge expensive registration fees for English or mathematics competitions for primary and secondary school students, which is called organizational fees or pre-exam training fees. Many parents are willing to spend money to participate in order to improve their students' English or math level.
In fact, these so-called primary and secondary school competitions have no strict organization and no standardization of selection. The review and review are carried out through internal channels and have no substantial effect on improving students' abilities. When companies hold such competitions, they are mainly driven by interests.
Many competitions for primary and secondary school students are encouraged by training institutions, and the organizers and training institutions are involved in . The more you hold various types of competitions, the more you will participate. Before preparing to participate in the competition, you must review in advance and do your homework in all aspects.
If parents have low English or math skills, are busy with work, and have no time to provide tutoring, they will eventually send students to these training institutions to participate in various types of Olympiad competition classes.This will create a market demand for tuition, and off-campus tutoring institutions can obtain a lot of benefits.
Parents should look at various competition activities rationally
The Ministry of Education currently approved 46 competitions for primary and secondary school students, which should be able to meet the needs of all students. All of this competition is a public welfare activity, mainly to cultivate talented students, to enhance their extracurricular knowledge and to increase their additional skills.
But parents also need to be clear that all types of competitions must pay attention to talent. If students do not have the talent in this area, there is no need to force students to participate. Parents need to fully recognize their children's strengths and weaknesses and give full play to their strengths, rather than requiring them to grow comprehensively. Ordinary students should still focus on academic performance and not blindly participate in various competitions.
Only a small number of students with talent, and a large number of students eventually return to the ordinary. I hope parents should recognize reality. Don’t force students to participate in various competitions and activities, so that their children can grow up healthily and happily in their childhood. This is already a very responsible parent.
