By Wang Jing, All Media Reporter, Guangzhou Daily
Currently, Guangzhou's "double reduction" work is gradually being implemented, and relevant regulations for off-campus subject training institutions are also being released one after another.
After "double reduction", how do parents and students arrange time after class?
What is the progress of the adjustment and transformation of Guangzhou off-campus training institutions?
There are fewer exams and fewer homework. What about the "addition" of quality education?
This issue of "double subtraction" addition and subtraction focuses on the above topics.
Parents: Solid knowledge in school ensures sleep and exercise
Maomao, Ms. Wang's son, is in the third grade of elementary school this year.
In the new semester after the "double reduction", how to spend after class time, Ms. Wang arranged for her son clearly-subject training and programming classes are arranged in the middle of the week, and quality courses such as speech, Go, and vocal music will be arranged on weekends.
On Monday evening of every working day, Maomao’s one-to-one English lecture time.
School ends at 4:15 pm on Monday. Maomao usually arrives home at about 4:30 pm, finishes the day’s written homework before 6:00 pm, and attends classes at the nearby teaching and training institution after dinner until about 8:30 pm.
After finishing the English homework of the day, Maomao will listen to English for a while and go to bed on time at 9:30.
"It's when a child grows up. Good health is the basis for everything else." This is the principle that Ms. Wang adheres to.
Physical exercise should also keep up.
"The current principle is to learn the knowledge in the school well and to ensure sleep and exercise." Parent Ms. Li told reporters.
Now my son insists on listening and reading in Chinese and English independently every day, and the extracurricular reading has increased the depth while maintaining the breadth.
Starting from this Saturday, Ms. Li’s son will have an off-campus football training class every weekend. Each class lasts an hour and forty minutes.
"It happens that there is a mother's class, and the class is not far from home. Football is also an option for the high school entrance examination. If the child is willing to participate, we will report it." Ms. Li said.
"I now agree with the sentence in the parenting book. There are opportunities for education everywhere in life. It's just that parents have to spend a little thought to seize these opportunities." Ms. Li said frankly, after the "double reduction", she and the child's father started instead. "Make-up lesson"-make up the time invested in the child.
In the past, the son's studies were basically entrusted to the school and off-campus training institutions. Now they are consciously spending more time with their children.
Off-campus training institutions: reducing campus transformation quality education
Off-campus training institutions actively adjusted and responded by adjusting subject-related courses to mid-week, and did not carry out subject-related training on national legal holidays, rest days, and winter and summer vacations.
The reporter noticed that taking into account operating costs, teacher scheduling and other factors, reducing campuses to varying degrees has become a timely move for many off-campus teaching and training institutions.
An industry insider told reporters that it is not a “bad thing” for educational and training institutions to take the initiative to remove some campuses. This is a manifestation of the institution’s active response and concentrated efforts to explore sustainable development paths.
Since the "double reduction", various training institutions have undergone business transformation, among which quality education is one of the popular directions.
On September 1, Xueersi Peiyou, a subsidiary of Good Future, officially launched the quality education brand-Xueersi Literacy Center. The product content covers science, programming, puzzles, stories, eloquence, traditional culture, aesthetic education, Go and other modules.
The relevant staff of Guangzhou Xueersi told reporters that at present, science, programming and puzzle courses are available locally in Guangzhou.
Excellence Education has launched eight quality courses including "Concentration Training, Go, Telling Chinese Stories, Cantonese Culture, Eloquence Training, Programming, Writing, Thinking about the Planet".
Mo Jianbin, Director of Teaching Management of Guangzhou Branch of Excellence Education, introduced that cultivating children's practical ability and innovative thinking of science and technology is the priority principle of choosing quality courses for outstanding education. Eight models were selected from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and after further iterations and upgrades, they were officially launched to the society.
At present, education and training institutions in the field of transforming quality education are racing against time, and the supply of quality education products on the market is flourishing.
As powerful institutions continue to increase their investment in this field, it is foreseeable that there will be more diversified quality education courses to choose from in the future.
Some people in the industry also pointed out that with the continuous influx of funds and talents, the quality education track may also produce more subdivisions that meet the needs of children's literacy improvement.
Leveraging third-party course providers to reduce the preparation time for the transformation and quickly cultivate industry intuition is the choice of many education and training institutions during transformation.
The reporter learned that brands including Shuhua Art, Coding Cat, Netease Youdao, etc. are exporting relevant quality education courses to institutions that are exploring transformation of disciplines and outside schools to help them transform and upgrade.
However, the increase in the supply of quality education courses does not mean that a large number of parents are willing to pay for this in a short period of time. Parents and students' arrangements for the use of affluent spare time and the transformation of their consumption habits will take a certain amount of time.
"We hope that through quality classes, we can provide parents in lower grades or non-graduating classes with an extra choice." Mo Jianbin also called on industry practitioners to work together to maintain the health and stability of the market and promote sustainable long-term development. , Don’t let the quality class become another anxiety amplifier.
