Sichuan Daliangshan Children who have no money to go to school in poor mountainous areas
Daliangshan Poor mountainous areas, many local families have to drop out of school due to poverty and survival problems. Many children do not go to school because of their families’ poverty, and they may go to school like many other children to change their destiny. According to the survey, the youngest student in Daliangshan area is only 9 years old this year, and both parents work in other places; although the children are young, their learning foundation is poor, and most teachers' teaching methods are backward, resulting in the children's academic performance not being good. At present, there are no roads in Daliangshan area of Sichuan Province, and there are no network signals and transportation. They can only take themselves to the school by writing letters or using motorcycles. The reporter found in Liangshan that most of these children came from poor families in Daliangshan area of Liangshan Prefecture, and many children did not finish elementary school because their families were not poor.
1. The survey found that in the Daliangshan area, there are more dropouts than urban children.
Liangshan Prefecture is located in the northeast of Sichuan Province and is affiliated to Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. It has a total area of 8484.4 square kilometers. It is under the jurisdiction of Liangshan Prefecture, Ganzi Prefecture and Aba Prefecture 3 Tibetan Autonomous Prefectures. The population density is 12.7 people per square kilometer. Among them, the population of Yi ethnic group accounts for about 60% of the total population, accounting for 62.7% of the total population of Liangshan Prefecture; overall, the rural areas of Liangshan are one of the most concentrated areas in Sichuan. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics "2011 National Disposable Income of Rural Residents", more than 92.9% of poor families in Liangshan Prefecture; and according to the 2010 special survey report on urban development issues released by Renmin University of China , the total number of poor children in urban families in China is as high as 8.86 million; in the western regions of Daliangshan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Tibet, urbanization is relatively fast. Among them, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province is the most obvious and has the lowest urban development level. The dropout rate of children in Liangshan, Yunnan, Tibet and other places is as high as 48%. It is understood that the families of left-behind children in poor mountainous areas of Daliangshan are generally in poor economic conditions. The main reasons are: First, because most rural families are extremely poor households, their children need to spend a lot of money to go to school; second, because poverty in cities leads to low living pressure; third, parents work or go out to work are the most important reasons for their children to drop out of school; fourth, because families have no money to go to school due to financial difficulties. If this situation cannot be improved, it will affect the children's future educational development and even affect their lives.
2. The dropout rate in poor mountainous areas is higher than that in cities
. A survey shows that the dropout rate in Daliangshan area is relatively high, exceeding 40%. The dropout rate in Daliangshan area is higher than the national average. According to the special survey on compulsory education conducted by the China Education Development Foundation in 9 provinces and regions in China in 2014, there are 639,000 primary schools and 218,000 junior high schools in 636 national key counties (cities) in China. The number of students studying in these primary schools is 1.413 million; while the total number of students receiving compulsory education in the country is 1.287 billion, of which the enrollment rate of primary school children is 99.93%, and the enrollment rate of junior high school is 99.5%. The enrollment rate of rural children of appropriate age is only 90.4%. Among them, only 2.6% of the poor students who have been registered and registered account for. Among the children with education below junior high school level, there are about 957 million.
3. Children have poor learning foundation
9-year-old children learn English? The teacher told reporters: These children are basically children who come out to work outside and cannot understand what the teacher says in class. Most of them memorize the classroom content by rote, but this is not effective. Some teachers told reporters: At present, most of the children in Liangshan are their own children because they do not master classroom knowledge well, and most teachers' teaching methods are relatively backward, so it is difficult for children to understand knowledge points in the classroom. They will take notes based on pictures and notes on the textbook. Moreover, they often don’t preview a lot before class. In class, the children don’t understand what the teacher is saying, they will think they know. They are usually very angry, and say a lot of things and can't explain things clearly, and sometimes even scold the teacher. The teacher doesn't care about the children at all. Doing this will not only have a bad impact on them, but will not be beneficial to their learning.They can only wait for their parents to come in school.
4. Teachers’ teaching methods are backward and their teaching results are poor.
Due to the shortage of teachers in schools in these poor areas, schools cannot attract outstanding teachers to join the ranks of students’ learning. Moreover, many teachers are temporary teachers and have no teaching experience. At the same time, due to the lack of teachers' experience, the children's learning results are not good, which leads to their unsatisfactory academic performance. Most of the teachers in Daliangshan area are part-time teachers or "returning". They also hope to work in the city to earn some money as a fee for their children's schooling. According to the reporter, there are more than 40 students in the largest primary school in Liangshan, and there are not enough teachers. Even if there are substitute teachers, you should teach the students with the worst grades in the class well. The local government is also helpless because of limited economic conditions, they can only let students study at home and not as good as teachers. It is understood that some places only hold meetings once a semester.
5. The families of these children are not poor and have no money to go to school
"There is a 12-year-old girl at home. She is the youngest in the local school. I don't know what her name is. She doesn't know. The current schools do not allow her to go to school, and she can only come a few times a month." During the investigation, the reporter found that most children's families are not poor, and they are even more generous to themselves and their relatives. "The family is not poor at all." A mother told reporters. "Now the family has no money to pay me tuition and living expenses," said the child's mother. "Our family is very poor!" asked the reporter, "What if you take these cute children from your school outside?" she replied, "I want to go to school." "You have to go out to work to have the opportunity to go to school!" "Do you know?" asked the reporter. "I know," said mom. She said, "My home is in the mountain called Damucuogu Village." The reporter asked, "Where are you going to go to school?" The child shook his head and said, "Go outside," she said.
6. Parents did not allow their children to receive compulsory education due to poverty
In Daliangshan area, because of family poverty, many children had to drop out of school. Many children from poor families in the Yi ethnic area of Liangshan have to graduate from elementary school or junior high school. Moreover, this group of students may also study like some other children to change their destiny. Parents of children believe: "If children are not allowed to go to school, they can only let these children lose at the starting line..." What does it mean for these children to go to school? Is this a way to change your destiny? Let’s take a look together!
