How can we change the existing educational model?The first thing to do is to find out the reasons for the current state of education.One of the main reasons is the examination.It should be affirmed that the college entrance examination is an important way to select outstanding talents.However, we must also make it clear that the entrance examination is only one way, not the only way.College admission is not necessarily all good people, and a few good people may not go to college.Society as a whole must maintain a sense of normalcy in college.In fact, after the expansion of university enrollment over the past few years, it is not uncommon to go to college, and there is no longer an iron job to go to college, and even if you go to Tsinghua Peking University, you can't guarantee a good job.What China lacks now is not college students, but highly trained professional technicians and highly creative and cutting-edge talent.China's education situation cannot meet the needs of the whole society in these two fields.In order to ease the pressure on students to enter universities, China should vigorously develop vocational and technical schools and colleges, and focus on training skilled workers.Comprehensive universities should reduce enrollment, improve education standards, and train high-tech talents who are truly innovative and capable of leading and participating in international competition.And the high-quality talent can not be selected based on a college entrance examination score.Therefore, the college entrance examination system must be reformed.Although the current college entrance examination adopts a one-size-fits-all model with a sense of absolute fairness, it produces drawbacks such as rote memorization of standard answers, sea tactics, and a lifetime examination.The most effective way to reduce the stress of the college entrance exam is to allow candidates to have multiple opportunities for examination.Each candidate can take the test twice a year, and each candidate can take the test four times in three years, with the highest score being the admission score.So the college entrance examination is no longer like a big enemy, one examination is not good next time.College entrance examination results should not be the only basis for admission, can account for 70-80% of the weight of the admission, the other 20-30% of the weight should be based on the test takers' ordinary grades and competitions and various specialties.Someone will immediately object, saying that it will open the door to the back door.Admittedly, this concern is not empty-handed, because the integrity and moral crisis in today's society is already very serious.Therefore, each university can set the minimum slot line according to its own strength, but it is lower than now, such as 30-50 points lower.In this way, universities will have more choices.The students on the slot line are in fact almost the same level, which can prevent poor students from going to a good university.Each university in order to compete for good students, it is necessary to select candidates with excellent grades or special skills, and if necessary, they can also telephone examinations and interviews.At present, self-admissions to universities should be biased toward specialized students, so that students with special talents in one area but other areas can receive higher education because they are likely to lose out to students with no special skills.For schools in rural areas, colleges and universities may introduce quotas to ensure that the doors of universities are always open to rural students and that tuition fees are reduced for these students.In the event of a backdoor impostor, the person concerned shall be dismissed from public office.Parents of high-ranking officials wonder if it's worth losing their hats to college for their children.
Reforming the college entrance examination admissions system is the first step to break the primary and secondary education tightly around the baton of the college entrance examination.Next is how to promote primary and secondary education to pay attention to the cultivation of students' cultural and scientific literacy.On the one hand, the Ministry of Education should issue educational programmes to increase the basic knowledge of the rule of law, geography and history, and nature and humanities in primary and secondary schools and universities.In particular, psychological and social relations education, including integrity education and patriotic education, should be strengthened.On the other hand, it is necessary to establish a reasonable evaluation system for schools, teachers and students.The evaluation of a school should not only look at the rate of advancement or whether the top students, but also should be composed of the board of education, principals and outstanding teachers.If a principal emphasizes only scores and does not attach importance to quality education, his management level will be greatly deducted points.The evaluation of the teacher should not only look at the grades of the students taught, but also pay attention to his/her teaching methods, whether he/she is dedicated to his/her work, whether he/she is lively, inspiring or cramming.Another important indicator is that students rate teachers anonymously.Because it is anonymous, students can have no worries.If a teacher punches or scolds a student, he or she will not be well received by the student, nor will he or she be promoted or receive a high bonus.I teach at an American university and I have to be graded anonymously before the final exam every semester.Students were asked to write about their favorite and least favorite parts of the class.The vast majority of students are objective and impartial.The highest and lowest scores are not counted, and the median is what mainstream students think of you.The evaluation of a student must not only be based on scores, but also cannot be ranked second.At present, a major failure of Chinese education is that schools and classes must rank according to scores after the midterm and final exams, which is a betrayal of quality education!Ranking is not quality!A few points difference between the two students does not in any way indicate a difference in their abilities.Scores can be published, but are never tied to any student's name.Every student will know their relative position, but others do not know, which reduces psychological pressure, but also protects many students' self-esteem.Teachers do not have the right to accuse a student of poor examination in front of other students, can only help alone, and education should be based on encouraging and stimulating learning enthusiasm.The turning point in my life was that I only got 66 points in math once in the second year of middle school, and Xia called me to the office to teach me to study hard and to become a scientist at Qinghua University in the future.This story inspired me all my life.While teaching knowledge, every teacher should exchange ideas with students.Students are free to ask questions, and teachers can follow suit.Throughout all the excellent teachers, without exception, the common feature is that there is a hot love first.By talking to students, teachers not only know the students' grades, but also have a comprehensive evaluation of their interests, hobbies and specialties.The quality of teachers is the central link of the whole quality education.Every school should strengthen quality education for teachers first.It should be promoted to invite specialized teachers to give lectures or to attend specialized teachers.
One of the reasons why education has failed in recent years is the industrialization of education.Recently, I have visited many modern buildings in primary and secondary schools, some of which are well above the average in the United States.Is China really that rich?No. How many tragedies have been caused by the industrialization of education in China?The article about poor students can't go to school, can't raise their heads, about poor students or their parents can't pay tuition and kill themselves, can it not awaken the conscience of society?！ Education is the foundation of society and the nation, and cannot be left to the shock of economic waves.It is irresponsible for the industrialization of education to pass on a heavy economic burden to the civilian population, especially the poor workers and peasants.Although the Central Government has repeatedly prohibited high fees for education, the annual fees for education remain high. Why?Because the idea of education industrialization has not been completely corrected, economic interests have swept many people, including some educators!If the industrialization of education is not completely abolished, its scourge will spread further and a tragedy will recur.Society as a whole will be further deformed.
If the State ' s finances are limited and it cannot meet all educational development needs, then one possibility is to tap into the potential of enterprises.I work at Penn State University in the United States for a motorcycle company, Harley-Davidson, a special class to train professional management and technical personnel.This is an approach worthy of emulation.As mentioned earlier, China should vigorously develop vocational education and encourage enterprises and schools to jointly run schools.Enterprises provide funds and schools send talents with specialized technology to achieve win-win results.Strong development of vocational education allows a large number of skilled students to learn what they want to learn, and after graduation, to engage in a specially trained profession, which is more affordable education.
