"Children have something to educate, and learning has something to teach" is an important part of the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China as an important part of ensuring and improving people's livelihood. In the "Government Work Report" of the 2019 Tianjin Two Sessions, education issues were frequently mentioned and became a hot topic during the Two Sessions. On January 15, Tianjin People's Congress representative and Hexi District Endeli Primary School principal Han Hongtao, and Municipal CPPCC member and Nankai University's Academic Affairs Director Li Chuanyong talked about preschool education and compulsory education to higher education and university construction, and discussed together how to calculate the "addition and subtraction" problem of education well.
In the preschool education stage, "difficulty in entering kindergarten" has always been a problem that troubles parents. The Government Work Report proposes that 40,000 new kindergarten degrees will be added throughout the year to strengthen the construction of supporting kindergartens in the community. "These measures show that the municipal party committee and government are indeed responsible, effective and effective in the problem of "difficulty in entering kindergarten." Faced with the high attention of society to preschool education, representative Han Hongtao believes that parents' requirements have been upgraded from "entering kindergarten" to "entering high-quality kindergarten". "I suggest that on the one hand, we should increase the management and teacher training of new kindergartens, and on the other hand, we should adopt the '1 N' measure, that is, one public kindergarten leads multiple private kindergartens, implement cross-school teaching, and develop together." During the interview, talking about the situation of kindergarten-primary transition courses that the education department explicitly prohibits but parents are rushing to, Committee Member Li Chuanyong believes that happy growth is always the first priority, and rush-for-stop education is a kind of forced learning, which is very unfavorable to children's mental development. Representative Han Hongtao proposed that the transition between kindergarten and primary school should pay more attention to the psychological connection between children, and let children psychologically accept the transition from kindergarten to primary school through various methods such as dining and games. He also reminded parents that the view of "not losing at the starting line" is to encourage growth and easily cause harm to their children. Parents should also establish correct educational concepts through learning.
In the netizens' messages collected, the suggestion on "reducing homework through mobile APP" attracted the attention of representative Han Hongtao and member Li Chuanyong. "Relevant departments encourage information education, but guidance and regulation are needed for primary and secondary school students." Member Li Chuanyong believes that not every family has the electronic equipment required for some homework, which is unfair and unreasonable for some families. Representative Han Hongtao also said that for primary and secondary school students, especially lower grade students, homework should be timely, moderate and appropriate, and more time should be left for extracurricular expansion activities.
The reform of the college entrance examination has affected the whole body. As the second batch of pilot provinces and cities for college entrance examination reform, the new college entrance examination and new curriculum reform have been promoted for more than a year. Member Li Chuanyong, who has many years of experience in college education, believes that the purpose of the college entrance examination reform is to promote quality education. The entire education system is vigorously carrying out ability-oriented course education. "In addition to completing homework and improving academic performance, comprehensive extracurricular ability improvement is also very important. Only students with strong independent learning ability and strong sense of responsibility can adapt to university life and have a clear direction for future life choices."
The suggestion of "introducing high-quality universities to settle in Tianjin" proposed by netizens was highly praised by Member Li Chuanyong! "The suggestions from netizens are very high. Binhai New District currently has two university towns, and many high-quality university resources have been introduced." Speaking of China University of Nuclear Technology, which is about to settle in Tianjin, Member Li Chuanyong mentioned that this high-starting school will build a national-level industry-university research innovation demonstration base that integrates talent skills training, core technology research and development and other functions around the nuclear industry.
