Hexi Education Investigation Report




From November 1st to 10th, 2003, the Qingyang Municipal Education Bureau organized an "educational study tour" of 13 key high schools and some ordinary middle school principals, 27 city leaders, liaison personnel and drivers. The Jiuquan City visited and visited some schools, and conducted special investigations on the campus construction, information technology education facilities construction, and school logistics socialization ideas. The following four aspects of the investigation were reported to the cause. Concerned about the benevolent people of the education industry in our county, the leaders and the various departments and departments, and the attention and the use of the mirror.

First, the planning of a high starting point has created a good start for future education in the Hexi region.

According to the plan, we inspected Zhangye Middle School, Zhangye No. 2 Middle School, Zhangye No. 4 Middle School, Gaotai No. 1 Middle School, Linze No. 1 Middle School, Jiuquan City No. 1 Middle School, and Jiuquan Middle School of Jiuquan City. Among them, Zhangye No. 2 Middle School was inspected in 2002. A qualified provincial-level city high school, Jiuquan Middle School in Jiuquan City is a full-time ordinary high school started in 2002. Zhangye Middle School and Jiuquan City No. 1 Middle School are two key high schools in the city. Gaotai No. 1 Middle School and Linze No. 1 Middle School are The two counties are key high schools, and Zhangye No. 4 Middle School is a national middle school. The overall impact is that the starting point of construction planning is generally high. There are basically more than three teaching buildings, including science and technology buildings, book lab buildings, male and female apartment buildings, standard track and field stadiums for 400m runways, football fields, and cement-hardened basketball courts. the above. Zhangye Middle School also has a library and gym. The total area of ​​the gym is about 480m2. Jiuquan City also has a gymnasium, a high-standard indoor basket, a volleyball court and various indoor sports venues. In the case that Gaotai No. 1 Middle School has occupied an area of ​​more than 100 mu, it has recently acquired 60 mu of land to expand the campus. Linze County has a land area of ​​more than 200 acres. In the middle of this, the schools are basically planned from the beginning of 1998. Except for some schools and finishing projects, most of them have been completed.
All the schools have completed the construction of the campus network. In order to make full use of the online resources, all teachers and students can view multimedia information in all corners of the campus. The next step is to achieve a good start. The campus has realized multimedia. Multi-functional teaching management and teaching forms such as classroom, online communication, digital broadcasting, and film conferences.

Second, the construction of high standards has laid a solid foundation for the future education.

During the inspection of the Seventh School of Hexi, we were surprised to find that in addition to the general plan with high starting point, it also has a high standard of construction. Whether it is an office building, a science and technology building, a teaching building or an apartment building, it is all a tiled floor, a group of magnetic brick walls, a magnificent building, and a luxurious interior decoration. The teaching building was basically less than 6000m2. The teaching building of Linze No. 1 Middle School is the smallest we have seen. The building area is 5,800 square meters. The new comprehensive building of Zhangye Middle School has a building area of ​​over 12,000 square meters. In addition to the high-standard information technology education facilities and necessary office facilities that we expected, there are also fitness facilities for about 100 people. The library, the reading room, etc., which can be used for the activities of the teachers and students of the whole school, are all standard fields of the 400m runway, and the basketball courts are all cement hardened. Compared with the professional pavilions used in international competitions, there is no bigger gap than the professional pavilions used in international competitions. The investment in information technology education equipment is all in place. The ratio of the number of students in some schools to the number of computers for students is 6:1, and the number of multi-purpose halls is more than 10. Each classroom in Zhangye 4 is equipped with a digital projector and its supporting equipment to make multimedia teaching. What we are still looking for has become a commonplace in people's homes. The number of computers for teachers to prepare for the class can also meet the needs of the whole school teachers. There are several schools that provide a mobile PC for each teacher who has worked for more than three years, which creates favorable conditions for the teacher's preparation and courseware production; It is excellent. There are more than 10 schools, chemistry and laboratories. There are 15 Zhangye Middle Schools. All demonstration experiments and student experiment rates are 100%, and the students can guarantee a group of two.

Third, multi-channel financing, is the guarantee to complete the school construction.

In a short period of five years, the campus construction in Hexi area can reach such a scale. Most schools have a total investment of more than 20 million yuan. Where does the money come from? This is one of the most confusing and most mysterious puzzles we want to solve. After visiting, talking privately with acquaintances, I found the following aspects:

1. Government support, policy tilt, green light clearing. When Director Zhang of the Zhangye Municipal Education Bureau introduced the development of education in Zhangye, he first proposed Comrade Ma Xilin, the former secretary of the Zhangye District. In private understanding, we found that from school leaders to ordinary teachers, they all praised Ma’s education. It is Ma’s proposal that “the party must be the first to grasp education”, “tomorrow’s education with tomorrow’s money” and “mobilize everything”. Power to run education." With the policy, there is vitality, which leads to the planning of high starting point and the construction of high standards. It has a good situation of large government investment and high enthusiasm at the grassroots level.

2. There are more lively charging policies and bold reform ideas. We saw on the public notice board of Gaotai County No. 1 Middle School that in addition to the normal fees, the higher-level freshmen must pay 200 yuan for the education fund, and the second and third year students each receive 50 yuan. The fee for borrowing students is much higher than that of the provincial government. Zhangye No. 4 is a middle school, but the principal is bold in thinking. The city council agreed to have a joint-stock high school in the school. It is an internal school. The charging standard does not tell us. However, this year, nearly one thousand students were recruited. Teachers receive a subsidy for the class, and they can also pay dividends at the end of the year.

3. The socialization of logistics management has brought capital and vitality to the construction of the school, fully embodying the guiding ideology of “doing today's education with the money of tomorrow”. We have learned that all schools have a variety of sources of funds such as bank loans, team funding, faculty fund raising, and school self-financing, and the resulting number of liabilities is quite alarming. For example, Zhangye Middle School started to build 20 million yuan in construction in 1998, and today it has a debt of about 10 million yuan. When I asked about the repayment plan and ideas, the city council leader interjected that "the principal who can return interest is a good principal...".

Fourth, the momentum of Hexi's educational development tells us that relying on the "three bitter spirit" to run a school will definitely not catch up with the pace of the times. The infrastructure of Hexi is far beyond us; the employment mechanism of Hexi is far ahead of us. Teachers' job title issues, housing issues, and treatment issues can all be well resolved. This has undoubtedly created favorable conditions for mobilizing the enthusiasm of teachers and created favorable conditions for attracting talents. In terms of job title distribution, the number of students in Zhangye Middle School is 3,644, while the total number of faculty and staff is 272, and the teacher-student ratio is 1:13.4. Among them, there are 2 special-level teachers, 69 senior teachers and 124 first-level teachers. The number of intermediate-level and above titles accounts for 71.69% of the total number of faculty and staff. Due to favorable conditions and good treatment, the attractiveness of talents is quite large. According to incomplete statistics, 2003 Of the students from the Northwest Normal University who graduated from Qingyang, 33 were all dug away by Zhangye City. This has fully explained that we are behind the people; despite the past Zhang Wei, the quality of teaching is not as good as that of Qingyang, 2000, 2001, 2002. These three years have been comparable to Qingyang, but as this development continues, the quality of teaching in Zhangye City will soon be at the forefront of the province and even the country.

At the inspection summary meeting on November 9, all members of the inspection team agreed that the development of Hexi education can be summarized as “big three, three small”. Among them, the "big three points" are "high starting point planning, high standard construction, multi-channel financing"; "small three points" is "first-hand education, debt management, scale benefits."

The above are my own understanding and feelings during the 10-day study. Some of them may differ from the actual ones. Some of them are purely personal opinions. If anything is wrong, please criticize.
