Half year evolution of a mountain village middle school
2022-12-21
After the Spring Festival, a thorough investigation was made on the sixth grade students in primary schools. Only 46 people in the town were willing to stay in the town to study in junior high school. Many people believed that the school would not be able to run in two years. However, when the school began in September, 298 new students were enrolled in the school, and many parents in nearby villages and towns wanted to send their children to school. What on earth contributed to such a "world apart" change? In the early winter, the reporter came to Yuquan Junior High School in Baiyang Town, Wanzhou District, Chongqing to find out. Baiyang Town, a rural township facing the "middle school dilemma" with a registered residence population of more than 50000, is a mountainous township one hour away from Wanzhou urban area. Yuquan Junior High School, which has been established for nearly 80 years, is the only junior high school in the town, with more than 3500 students in its heyday. Like many rural middle schools, Yuquan Junior High School has also faced the problem of loss of teachers and students in recent years. "It's still 'people go high'." Zhao Jing, an English teacher who has been in Yuquan Junior High School for 13 years, said that the school is indeed developing these years, but the gap between the school and the "good school" in the urban area is still growing. Compared with the gap in hardware, she cares more about "software". "Such a school in a town can easily become an 'island of information'." Zhao Jing always hopes to refer to more materials when preparing lessons. There are too few materials available in Yuquan Junior High School, so she can only ask college students who are teachers in urban areas to help. "I always ask my classmates for teaching materials, but it's still a little humiliating. I'm afraid I will delay the children here even if I lie flat." Hu Renjun, a math teacher in Yuquan Junior High School in 1995, was very popular with his classmates. But like Zhao Jing, Hu Renjun also has a strong sense of crisis: "There is little learning and communication, ideas are updated slowly, and he is not familiar with modern teaching. He is mainly based on his old ideas." The colleagues around are "walking high" one by one, and the teachers who insist on staying are also under another kind of pressure. "Everyone thinks that those who are really competent have left, their recognition of the school has declined, and their evaluation of teachers has also changed." Hu Renjun believed that this invisible pressure also accelerated "people's going higher". Cheng Sufang, secretary of the Party Committee and principal of Wanzhou Middle School, graduated from Yuquan Middle School. Wanzhou Middle School is a key middle school in Chongqing. In recent years, Cheng Sufang has been strengthening the pair support between the two schools, but it seems unable to change the "downhill road" of Yuquan Middle School. "If a township with more than 50000 people cannot keep a junior high school, the education burden of rural families will be significantly increased, which will also have an impact on the development of the township." Cheng Sufang said. The "urban-rural integration" of high-quality schools leading regional education should retain schools and students; If we want to retain students, we must run schools well. How can Yuquan Middle School "stop falling and recover"? After multiple argumentations, Wanzhou Middle School started to fully trust Yuquan Junior High School in March this year, and Yuquan Junior High School has become a part of the group education of Wanzhou Middle School. Different from the "pair aid", this is the "urban-rural integration" of the two schools led by Wanzhou Middle School. "In the past, we only sent teachers to Yuquan regularly to help. Now Yuquan is one of our campuses. Whether it is cultural construction such as school spirit and school motto, or the construction of teachers, software and hardware, and teaching management, we should gradually achieve 'integration'."
