Reflections on the Reform of Education System——Report of Private Schools

On October 23, members of the provincial backbone teacher training class had the opportunity to visit the two private schools of Shandong Mei'ao International School and Shuangyueyuan School. They also listened to their principal's introduction to the school. The school's educational philosophy, school-running mechanism, and school-running characteristics have left a deep impression on the author. From the 17th year of teaching, when the principal was 3 years old, he also thought hard about education and running schools. It has caused me a lot of thinking.

1. The reform of the school-running system is China's national conditions, and it is the need of society. Since ancient times, schools have been divided into public and civil studies. Public school is run by the government, and folk studies are done by ordinary people. Confucius, Wu Xun and Tao Xingzhi are the representative figures of the people's studies, and they are very effective. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, under the public ownership and planning economic system, all private schools were restructured into public schools, forming a single education system in which the state unified the school. With the reform and opening up, economic development, the improvement of people's living standards, the growth of the demand for education, the state's unified education can not meet the needs of the people's education, so in the 1980s, many private schools were established. In the 1990s, society There are many forms of strength in running schools, and the school-running system is diversified. State-run schools are unified; both public schools and private schools are dualistic; in addition to public and private, there are diversified systems of public assistance, civil office assistance, and citizenship. The world is inherently colorful. People always develop education in an innovative spirit to adapt it to the social economy. China is still in the primary stage of socialism. The country's economic strength is thin, and the funds that can be put into education are quite insufficient. Education cannot be completely run by the state, but it is necessary to encourage social forces to run schools. This is China's national conditions. Raising funds from education in many ways requires an education system that is compatible with it. At present, due to the economic development of our country, the people's living standards have improved, and the people's requirements for children's education have also been upgraded. To meet the needs of the people and the multi-level education needs, there must be a pluralistic system. With the rapid development of the economy, many career-oriented families have emerged. They urgently need to have full boarding and modern schools to replace their parental responsibilities, so that their children can receive all-weather services. Shandong Linyi Private School, public welfare and other forms of schooling, and the province is dominated by the province, Zhejiang is in the forefront of the country, unique. The former is an economically underdeveloped area and the latter is an economically developed area. It can be seen that the reform of the school-running system applies to different regions. China is an ancient civilization with excellent educational traditions. It has accumulated rich educational resources for many years. With the development of society, many new educational resources have been added. The full use of educational resources also requires a diverse school system. It can be seen that the pluralistic system of education is the inevitable development of China's education, in line with China's national conditions and the needs of society.

The first consideration for schooling is the need, the needs of the people are the requirements of career development, and secondly, how to not violate the policy. We know that policy is lagging behind the development of society, because the development of society to a certain extent requires policy. When policies do not adapt to the development of society, people need to create new policies through practice. A variety of institutional education is the result of educational reformers using innovative educational practices to promote the development of a unified education system. A famous principal in the south said that when he introduced his school experience, he said: "When you encounter a red light, you will walk with a yellow light and walk with a green light." This is a school-running concept and a career development. idea. Isn't this the concrete manifestation of Deng Xiaoping's "development is the last word"? Second, running quality education is an urgent need for the development of the times. Education is an industry. The core or essence of the so-called "educational industry" is that the school must emphasize the duality of efficiency and efficiency. Education is also guided by efficiency and efficiency. Specifically, there should be two meanings: “industrialized education” and “educational industrialization”. The former refers to the idea of ​​organizing education in the enterprises of the mirror enterprises. Therefore, there is a theory of "education management" or "school management", which emphasizes the reform of the internal management thoughts and operational mechanisms of the school, and strengthens the efficiency of school organization. Put an end to "education waste" and revitalize the stock of educational resources; the latter refers to a form-oriented market-oriented way of running schools. Can education be industrialized? Practice has already given a positive answer. Only when efficiency and quality are equal, schools can develop faster and better. There are various ways to run a school, such as “social power running school”, “private schooling”, “cooperative schooling” and “shareholding cooperation system”. Market competition is the "first rule." To run a school with the idea of ​​running an industry is to take advantage of the achievements of economic construction and continuously improve the efficiency and efficiency of running schools. At present, we should pay attention to the two aspects: the school must establish the awareness of “management benefits”; the school must establish the awareness of “market competition”. To run a school with the idea of ​​running an industry is not to "see everything to money", nor to make the school a "profit-making institution" or a "place for making money", but to make the school an external adaptation. Meeting the changing educational needs of society and individuals, and organizing a healthy organization full of competition, cooperation and incentives, truly integrates schools into a sustainable development structure. The industrialization of education has become an indisputable fact. The "Outflow of Folk Education Investment Cannot Be Neglected" published in the "Organization Personnel" on September 2, 1999 may give us some useful inspirations. The article pointed out that foreign universities and other school-running institutions have "snapped" large cities in China to hold various exhibitions, introductions, etc., and recruited to study abroad. If the education expenses of each family in our society are regarded as the investment of private education in China, then this kind of investment is now flowing abroad with the outward migration of the education market. According to the statistics of relevant state departments, about 250,000 people in China go abroad to study abroad at their own expense, which is calculated according to the lower limit of RMB 14 to 180,000 per person per year. The annual market size is 4 billion yuan. In 1999, only one province in Guangdong went to foreign countries to study at its own expense, and spent about 1 billion yuan. This is a market that cannot be ignored. At present, there is a great contradiction between the growing educational requirements of the society and the existing supply. The general public hopes to get more educational resources and receive higher quality education. Therefore, the development of the education industry, encourage diversified schooling, and encourage enterprises and private investment to set up education is undoubtedly an important way to expand education consumption, promote economic development, and curb the outflow of private education investment. There are more and more college students and Chinese students who have the intention to go abroad. In recent years, Chinese students have become more and more in number, and they are showing a trend of younger age. According to the Geodon slaven visa officer of the Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy in China, the number of students studying in the UK has grown rapidly in the last two years. In 1997, it was 2,000, compared with 12,000 last year. This year, there are already 17,000. Their way of studying abroad has changed a lot. In the past, most Chinese students went to the UK to study for postgraduate studies. Now most of them are middle school students to go to college preparatory courses. Most of the Chinese students used to apply for scholarships. Most of them are at their own expense. Recently, more and more young friends have gone abroad to study abroad. After China's accession to the WTO, more and more young people will go abroad to receive re-education. Britain, the United States, New Zealand, Australia and other countries are very optimistic about China's study abroad market. Because of the demand for quality education, Chinese teenagers go to foreign countries to study. Of course, there are also foreign students who come to China to study because Chinese education also has very good schools. Education has indeed entered an era of marketization and industrialization, and we must acknowledge this fact. Whoever has a good education has a market and is competitive. The author witnessed that the students of Dongying and Guangrao flowed to Shouguang, and the students of Shouguang moved to Weifang. This summer, Qingdao and other foreign schools played advertisements for admissions on Shouguangcheng Street. Chinese students have a large amount of foreign capital flow every year. Isn't this market effect affecting the student source market? The massive outflow of students is a loss of educational resources. Our school is not doing well, it is not competitive, and our teachers and our students will be outflowing. This is the loss of Shouguang! Out of a sense of responsibility for education, a sense of responsibility for the cause. We must reform our education system. The “Supply and Selling Agency” once became the best industry in the society. However, the market economy first hit the “supply and sales cooperatives”. The supply and marketing cooperatives had experienced painful experiences during the restructuring. They did not want to change and could not change. However, after the development of the market economy and the growth of individual households, the “supply and sales cooperatives” have had a huge impact, which has caused the “supply and sales cooperatives” to disintegrate. Market economy, the survival of the fittest, and the discomfort is eliminated. The people need flexible and quality services in the market economy. The needs of the people are the prospects for market development. The people need quality education resources and call for quality education. And our current public schools do have no or very few such educational resources. Private schools have emerged as the times require and have developed rapidly to meet this need. In some public schools, people with lofty insights are actively seeking reforms and seeking educational resources to meet this need. Therefore, there has been a school-two system, state-owned private, public assistance, and civil office assistance. These are private education. Different forms of expression. The development of education must also move towards marketization and industrialization. This is an inevitable trend in the development of education. When public education cannot meet the people's growing needs for education, it is necessary to carry out institutional reforms. Private education must be produced. When small-scale private education cannot meet the higher requirements of education, education will inevitably move towards grouping and scale. 3. Public schools need to develop a competitive opponent like a private school. The emergence of private education has benefited from the expansion of demand for social education, as researcher Yuan Zhenguo said: “The expansion of social education demand is faster than expected, and a single public school system is difficult to meet the needs of this development; On the one hand, the huge enthusiasm and potential of running a school call for a new form of school--the emergence of private education. Now the investment of the family should be the education investment of the children, some parents said, Poor can't be poorly educated, and you can't bitter children if you are bitter." Will the development of private schools impact public schools? This is subject to practice testing. The rise of private schools is definitely an impact on public schools. This is a good thing for the people and the society. It is not a good thing to rush out schools with poor school performance, and thus emerge a school with vitality and good school performance. Public schools naturally have their advantages. They start early, have many years of experience in running schools, and are run by the government. The government has invested as a basic guarantee. The cost of education is low and the fees are low, which meets the needs of children whose income is medium or middle. Schooling needs. It has its own survival and development advantages and market. Public and private schools just complement each other, promote each other, and develop together. If a public school has more than one competitor, it will be more energetic. If the school is divided into three levels of A B C according to the conditions for running the school and the teaching level, the students are divided into three categories according to the family economic situation and the demand for education. Then, at present, the education in our city is a form of school existence, that is, poor countries run big education, and all schools appear in the form of C because of insufficient investment. The children of the three families of a b c are enrolled in the C-level schools. A b family has good economic conditions and high demand for education. They hope to go to A or B schools, but we don't provide them. They can only squeeze in C-level schools or find a way out. If we can run the A B-class school, it will meet the needs of the a b-class family, and at the same time resolve the contradiction of the C-level school students full of resources and insufficient investment. In this way, the C-level schools have fewer students, the government's investment remains unchanged, the school's school-running efficiency will be relatively higher, the school-running conditions will reach the B-level, and the fees will remain in the c-class to meet the needs of the c-class family. Thus, three levels of schools meet the educational needs of three categories of families and raise the standard of social education as a whole. The picture is as follows: A a B b C c 4. In comparison with public and private schools, 5, private schools have strong vitality. 6. Public schools urgently need fundamental reforms from the system. I deeply feel that the sudden emergence of private schools has brought a spring of "live water" to education reform. Public schools want to get rid of the predicament and change "dead water" into "living water". They need to absorb a lot of "nutrition" from private schools. To be shocked by the waves, the substantive reform of public schools – the reform of the school-running system has become a trend, and it is imperative.

There are many common points in the characteristics of running a school for private schools: “new”, “special”, “live”, “real”, “strict” and so on. 1. “New” means that the concept of running a school is new. Through the introduction of the leaders of the two schools, we learned that the two schools have some new educational and teaching concepts, such as: “The United States and Australia are not bad students”, “Preparing for success”, “Special seedlings”, “Special special education” Each student's happy life, happy learning, healthy growth, and all-round development are all shining with the philosophy of running a school of light. Under the guidance of these concepts, each has created a road to school with outstanding characteristics suitable for the development of private schools. 2. "Special". The two private schools have unique places in running schools. The specific performance is: unique talent concept: the school not only pays attention to the use of talents, but also pays more attention to the re-education and cultivation of talents, and puts forward the "career retention" and "emotional retention". The principle of employing people to treat people, the teacher is the entrepreneur of the school. Unique teaching style: The school has established the ancient teaching of “learning as a teacher and behaving the world” as a teaching style, so that teachers constantly update their educational concepts, and in the increasingly optimized human environment, not only absorb the fruits of human civilization, but form An excellent group style. Unique style of study: The United States and Australia have put forward the style of study: "Lide, erudition, energy, truth-seeking" makes education pay more attention to the development of students' individuality, attaches importance to students' comprehensive knowledge, analyzes problems and solves problems, and makes students become "good morals". A comprehensive personality with a well-rounded personality, profound knowledge and excellent ability. Unique educational goals. The two private schools are based on the height of the times, and have a problem of neglecting individuality development in the current education, and have established a success for everyone. The educational goal not only clarifies the direction of running the school objectively, but also reflects the ideas of the education reform of the two private schools. 3. "Live". Inspecting the two private schools, I feel that the private schools are flexible in the management system. The principals really have the autonomy to run schools, the establishment of management institutions, the employment of management personnel, and the investment in running schools. The principals can have the final say. The school implements tiered management within the school. The school committee has various faculties. The heads of the faculty departments are responsible for the clear rules, clear responsibilities, and smooth government orders, and establish a set of efficient and flexible management and operation mechanism. 4. "Real." The two private schools have grasped the quality of education and teaching and grasped it. Put the focus of implementing quality education in the classroom. In order to improve the quality of classroom teaching, small class teaching is implemented, and the number of students per class is limited to about 30. And shorten the class hours. In the school, the “Improve the difference” project was put forward, and the concept of “the United States and the United Kingdom has no difference” was put forward, and the monthly analysis of the students’ learning situation was organized. These measures have an immediate effect on improving the quality of teaching. In addition, the school has opened an elective course with the advantage of students' long time in school. The school also explores the reform of examination methods and tests students' mastery of knowledge and ability. 5. "Strict". In the teaching management, private schools take the lead in “strictness” and implement “closed and semi-military management” for students. From the first day of school, the school will conduct regular daily education for students. From getting up, finishing the housework to turning off the lights and going to bed are strict. And specific requirements. The school also often educates students on school ethics, and pays attention to cultivating students' hardship and strong will in daily life learning. 6, "all-weather service, full-time food and accommodation." With the rapid development of the economy, many career-oriented families have emerged. They urgently need a full-board, modern school to replace their parental responsibilities and to enable their children to receive round-the-clock services. The private full-time boarding school has just met the needs of people. This is not something that ordinary public schools can't do. Throughout the development of the two private schools, the advantages of private schools in running schools are obvious. Perhaps it is these advantages that make private education a new force in education reform. The momentum is developing rapidly and the scale effect is realized. What about public schools? From the reform to the present day, I am afraid that only public education is still lying on the hotbed of the planned economy. On the contrary, the current public education system has obviously exposed some drawbacks. 1. The funds for running schools in public schools are relatively small. Compared with private schools, the economic investment and return of private schools are beyond the reach of most public schools. Insufficient office funding and wage arrears have become a bottleneck restricting the development of public schools. According to the survey, an economically underdeveloped township should pay 70%-80% of the total annual income to pay teachers' salaries, and education becomes a huge burden for the township economy. The salary of teachers in county-level schools also accounts for a considerable proportion of county finances. The lack of funds for running schools has restricted the development of all aspects of public schools. Public schools can't do “respect for people” because in public schools, a habit of eating big pots has been formed for a long time. Those who make outstanding contributions in education and teaching can't enjoy the treatment they deserve. Mobilize the enthusiasm of these people. 3. The school-running system of public schools is not 4, flexible enough. The core part of education management - the management mechanism is responsible, right and profitable in public schools. In a public school, the appointment and removal of members of the school-level leadership is not the same as that of a school. The appointment of front-line faculty and staff is not the best understanding of their middle-level leaders. The system in which responsibility is not hierarchically responsible often leads to improper employment, people cannot do their best, and things cannot be used to the fullest. Scholars may not be able to reuse them, which greatly dampens the enthusiasm of the staff. In the current public schools, there are a large number of people who eat and have a meal. They are self-sufficient in the "teaching for decades", sit and eat, eat less, and create psychological imbalances for young teachers. The principal is also powerless to them because the principal does not have the power to choose the teacher himself, but can only listen to the assignment of the superior. 5. Public schools lack the awareness of survival competition, 6. Crisis awareness, 7. Strong utilitarianism. Driven by utilitarianism, public schools like to do superficial articles in many aspects. The phenomenon of “false air” has occurred from time to time. The education of vegetarianism is vigorous and vigorous, and the exam-oriented education is solid. This is one of the false appearances of public schools. The principal said: "The vegetarian education shouted slogans. It is definitely not the only legal code to measure the academic performance of the school." , virtual reports, etc. also happen from time to time. Because of the nature of public schools, the phenomenon of eating large pots of rice is becoming more and more serious. It is not only difficult to get more work, but also severely dampens enthusiasm. Moreover, some faculty and staff are “sitting and worry-free” lacking competition consciousness and critical consciousness.

From the comparison between private schools and public schools, the author believes that the reform of public schools must first establish an advanced education and teaching concept, maintain the service and public welfare of public schools, and strengthen the industrialization and market of education under the conditions of market economy. Sex. Completely change the management mechanism of the public schools, use the human mechanism to achieve clear rights and responsibilities, and build a running mechanism that saves time, efficiency, and smooth government orders. On this basis, it absorbs the beneficial factors in the running of private schools. I think this school of public schools The quiet "dead water" will become a long-lived "live water" that is shocked by waves. Public schools can only embark on the track of rapid development only through fundamental reforms in the system. Public schools and private schools develop together, interdependent, mutually promote, complement each other and jointly support China's educational undertakings. This is the inevitable result of education reform and development.
