(Year-end feature) 2020, sports and aesthetic education will add more points. Will Chinese education be better?

　　China News Agency, Beijing, December 25 (Reporter Ma Haiyan) If you ask a parent of a primary and middle school student, what is the biggest impact on the child this year?

It is not the change in learning methods brought about by the epidemic. It is not that 95.32% of the counties (cities, districts) in the country have basically achieved a balanced development of compulsory education, but that sports and aesthetics education will be included in the results of the high school entrance examination, and may be included in the results of the college entrance examination in the future.

　　The scoring of physical education entrance examination has been implemented for many years since 1999; while the entrance examination for aesthetic education is a new requirement.

　　This new requirement originated in October this year when the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening and Improving School Sports Work in the New Era" and "Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening and Improving School Aesthetic Education in the New Era".

These two documents have made the educators keenly aware that, unlike in the past, "it is important to say but not important to do it", "implementation of comprehensive evaluation of students' quality" is becoming a breakthrough in education reform, and the "five education" of morality, intelligence, physical education, and labor. Simultaneous development is becoming a guide for education in the new era.

　　Wang Dengfeng, director of the Department of Sports, Health and Art Education of the Ministry of Education, stated at the Ministry of Education’s 2020 “Ending” series of press conferences at the end of the year that at present, the national high school entrance examination for physical education has been widely implemented, with scores ranging from 30 to 100 points, starting in 2021 Most provinces will increase the value of sports entrance examination scores.

In addition, 9 provinces have started to pilot the high school entrance examination for aesthetic education, and the scores of the art examination in the high school entrance examination are generally between 10 and 30 points.

　　"Points, points, the lifeblood of students", no matter which subject is included in the entrance examination, it is the most direct baton.

The number of skipping classes has increased, basketball classes are full, and Chinese parents have devoted their enthusiasm for examination-oriented education to quality education, which is pushing quality education to the other extreme.

　　The opposition believes that "the secondary class is changed to the main class, and the children's time is not enough", "the more points are added for physical beauty, the burden on the children will be heavier."

There are also parents with shortcomings in physical beauty who say, "My child is inherently frail and sickly, with incomplete tone, so I can't make one size fits all."

　　The supporters said that we will not stop learning mathematics because we are born with a lack of mathematical thinking, nor will we stop learning English because we do not have a natural talent for language. The compulsory education stage should be comprehensive education and development.

　　"Sports and aesthetic education are not a goal, but a guide. It is for the comprehensive quality evaluation to be implemented." Cong Zhongxiao, secretary of the party committee of the China Children's Center, told our reporter that the children's myopia rate has increased, their physical fitness has declined, and their physical and mental health. Such issues have attracted the attention of the whole society. The use of examinations to attract the attention of schools and parents, squeezing out children's time from extracurricular classes and practicing sports and aesthetic education is a correction to the previous emphasis on intellectual education.

　　In the future, the score value of the physical education entrance examination will be increased, and the entrance examination of physical education is also under study.

It is reported that the government will actively promote colleges and universities to add sports programs in the admission test.

Colleges and universities take the results of comprehensive quality evaluation of students as an important reference for enrollment in accordance with talent training goals and professional learning needs.

　　"How to solve children's physical decline? It should be said that this is one of the effective measures we can take at this stage." Jiang Xiaoyu, the former executive vice chairman of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, believes that increasing the weight of sports in the college entrance examination baton will guide the whole society Pay attention to the health of children and adolescents, and the direction is right.

Of course, the specific implementation needs to be divided into stages.

　　Compared with urban students who can "raise points" through various sports and aesthetic education interest classes, how to achieve the requirements in rural sports and aesthetic education classes is more concerned.

To realize that by 2022, there will be a full complement of strong physical education teachers, full physical education and aesthetic education classes, and breakthroughs in school aesthetic education; by 2035, a diversified and high-quality school sports system and aesthetic education system will be basically formed. The focus is on making up for the shortcomings of the village.

　　In August this year, P&G Hope Primary School’s original children’s play "Wish Care" premiered at the National Centre for the Performing Arts and was simultaneously broadcast live on the online platform.

This is the third year that P&G China, together with the China Youth Foundation and the National Centre for the Performing Arts, jointly organized the “Listen to Children's Voices and Believe in the Power of Art” charity project.

Self-written and self-performed performances can also be performed at the National Grand Theater, which is a great encouragement to rural children and teachers.

This method of introducing educational drama teaching methods into the classroom has also become a new exploration for social forces to participate in rural aesthetic education.

　　"Helping rural children build self-confidence from art and expression, and inspiring them to play a role in rural change, is the true value of carrying out aesthetic education in rural areas," said Bu Wei, a professor at the Institute of Journalism and Communication of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

　　Cong Zhongxiao suggested that all parties should be mobilized to train general teachers who can undertake aesthetic education, promote art education experiments in rural schools, and establish inter-school teacher sharing and urban and rural schools "hand in hand" assistance mechanisms, adopt synchronized classrooms, and share quality Online resources and other methods help rural areas to fill up the shortcomings of teachers and resources.

　　Selective examinations such as senior high school entrance examination and college entrance examination are destined to win and eliminate, while education is long-term, and quality education such as physical education and aesthetic education has a lifelong impact on students.

The compulsory education stage helps students master 1 to 2 sports skills, 1 to 2 artistic specialties, guides students to establish a correct outlook on health and art, corrects some deviations in current education, and has a positive impact on improving national quality. It will gradually appear in the near future.
