What should public opinion pay attention to when 14-year-old junior high school students are recommended to Tsinghua

Author: Xiong Bingqi, on January 27, the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, the front door of Guanzi Qin's house, a junior high school student in Guangxi, was bustling. It is reported that the 14-year-old Guan Ziqin was admitted to Tsinghua University. He will study under the master of international mathematics, Mr. Qiu Chengtong, this spring. He will continue to study for eight years after his master's degree and master's degree. His parents and fellow villagers will celebrate him by playing gongs, drums and dancing lions. It is not news that 14-year-old junior high school students have been admitted by famous schools. The main enrollment targets of Qiu Chengtong's mathematical science leading talent training plan of Tsinghua University are junior high school students and senior high school students. In 2022, Peking University launched the "Training Plan for Outstanding Talents in Physics", which also includes junior high school students. However, the news was still in hot search. While congratulating and praising, many netizens also expressed their admiration for his "successful road" of "going to Qingbei without passing the high school entrance examination". It has to be said that this is still taking a utilitarian attitude towards the selection and cultivation of top talents. China's colleges and universities recruit students with specialty in junior high school and senior high school, hoping to teach them in accordance with their aptitude and make them stand out. However, some parents and public opinion regard this as a way to go to famous schools, which may lead to the problem that the cultivation of top-notch talents promotes the emergence of young people. "Youth classes" were once popular. More than 10 universities in China established "youth classes" to cultivate young talents. However, due to the utilitarian treatment of the "youth class" and the unsuccessful cultivation of young college students in some universities, most universities have canceled the "youth class", leaving only a few universities such as the University of Science and Technology of China and Xi'an Jiaotong University. It is worth exploring how to select top talents to teach students according to their aptitude and enter universities in advance for training. However, we should avoid this becoming a "springboard" for entering famous schools. Once there is a tendency for schools and parents to take this as the way to go to famous schools, it will intensify the "specialty fever" and "competition fever" of basic education, increase the burden of students and parents' anxiety, and also affect the comprehensive quality training and long-term development of "top talents". Some "top talents" who have been admitted by famous universities lose their interest in their disciplines and have no ambition to become top talents in disciplines after entering the university. This is also the reason for China to cancel the award-winning college entrance examination bonus points in the discipline competition and implement the strong foundation plan, that is, to guide the basic education schools, students and parents to get rid of utilitarianism, truly pay attention to the cultivation of students' interest in the discipline, and pay attention to long-term development, rather than "build special skills", and win the competition awards, so as to achieve the goal of entering a prestigious school. At the "Middle School Mathematics Education" round-table forum held in August last year, Qiu Chengtong also pointed out that at present, there is a misconception in middle school education that "mathematics Olympiad and college entrance examination are the goals of learning mathematics". He said that what we want to cultivate is not competitive talents, but truly capable, ambitious, mathematical, scientific, cultural and connotative generalists of the first class in the world. Therefore, we should make it clear that the Olympic Games is not the focus of mathematics education. However, because discipline competition is an important aspect to show their strong points, and the number of students admitted to Tsinghua Peking University is the school's important achievement. At present, there is a tendency in some places to seize the top talent plan of Tsinghua Peking University for utilitarianism and improve the rate of famous schools. For example, some provincial model high schools set up "junior classes" in high schools, directly recruit primary school graduates, enter high schools in advance
