Chinanews Client Beijing, September 17 (Ren Jing) After the "double reduction" landed, the future of education and training institutions was uncertain, but the chaos of one-on-one training has quietly appeared.

At the same time, the education department has rectified the "combined boxing"-the whitelist of discipline training institutions, and strict investigation of disguised and illegal discipline training...

  In the first school season under "double reduction", can the tutoring classes still be reported?

Normal classes in the fall semester, it is not known whether it can be completed

  Under the "double reduction" policy, a series of measures to reduce the burden, such as reducing the amount of homework, reducing the frequency of examinations, and providing after-school services, will enter the campus in the new semester.

At the same time, compared with the popularity of class registration in the same period in previous years, the off-campus training market has indeed felt the "sister wind" in this new semester of autumn.

  In order to understand the status of offline tutoring classes, on Friday, September 10, Chinanews randomly visited several off-campus training institutions in Beijing.

In front of a training institution, the reporter noticed that around 3:40 in the afternoon, parents have already sent their children to class.

  Some children have just entered the first grade and need to be led by their parents to walk, but they have already walked into the door of the counseling agency with a large schoolbag.

Most of the parents who send their children are elderly, and some young parents rush back to work after sending their children, and some parents can’t spare the time and hire a nanny to pick up and drop off their children.

  When asked why they still choose to send their children to remedial classes under the "double reduction", some parents said, "Make-up classes must be made up, after all, the pressure of entering school is still there."

  It can also be seen on the APPs of some training institutions that the current autumn semester courses are starting normally, and many courses are already full.

  However, according to Xiaoding, a teacher in the junior high school department of a training institution, various notices issued by the company have been changing since the beginning of the school year, and it is unclear whether the autumn courses can be completed.

Xiaoding is very anxious now. Since the "double reduction" was implemented, his courses have been cut by about half, and wages and benefits have also been affected. "The best hope now is not to be cut."

The demand for one-on-one training is rising, and I am busy with changing face-to-face teaching

  Compared with the large-scale layoffs of academic training institutions, some one-to-one training institutions are recruiting students in a large area.

A one-to-one training institution recruits tutors online.

  According to the staff of an online one-on-one tutoring agency, parents who consult and register for classes have indeed increased recently.

"Because the current supervision of tutoring classes is relatively strict, one-to-one teaching is relatively loose."

  At the same time, the staff member said, “My institution is on the white list of the first batch of subject-specific off-campus training institutions announced by Beijing. Therefore, in addition to the normal teaching, the children participating in the training also have a benefit-whether it is weekly The 6th is a holiday, winter and summer vacation, and children’s free study time is from 7 to 9 in the evening."

  According to the staff, during these two hours, children can ask questions in the online self-study room, and the teacher can answer them one-on-one. "In fact, it is a disguised way to help children learn."

  But in fact, according to the "Reminders on the Relevant Situations of Off-campus Training in Subjects at the Compulsory Education Stage" recently issued by the Beijing Municipal Education Commission, even if it is a training institution on the whitelist, it cannot exceed the guidelines and advance training, and the training time shall not be the same as the teaching time of primary and secondary schools. conflict.

  In fact, there are many more forms of "one-to-one training" in the market, which can fight against the "double reduction" policy, such as "part-time tutoring for college students", "housekeeping" and so on.

The rectification is further strengthened, and the education mechanism is in urgent need of reform

  In fact, the education department has noticed these disguised supplementary lessons. Recently, the Ministry of Education issued the "Notice on Resolutely Investigating and Punishing Disguised Violations of Subject-based Off-campus Training."

  The "Notice" pointed out that the resolute investigation and punishment of subject training will be transferred to the "underground", and the "vest" will be changed to avoid supervision and other invisible mutations, including such forms as "live streaming, recording and broadcasting" and "one-to-one teaching".

  Regarding the future development of the education and training market, Xiong Bingqi, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said that national governance of extramural discipline training does not mean to shut down discipline training "one size fits all", but to return discipline training to its proper status and status. Functionally.

  “To truly regulate the training market and ease parents’ anxiety, the most important thing is to reform the system and mechanism.” said Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences. Scores represent better resources; on the other hand, the effectiveness of in-class education is low and cannot specifically address the needs of children."

  Experts said that in order to eradicate the chaos of extracurricular training, we should start from the root cause, reduce training needs and reduce training enthusiasm.

Only by breaking the point-only theory, improving the quality of school management and the effectiveness of in-class education, and achieving a balance between schools, can education anxiety be truly eased.
