(Express delivery of the two sessions) Principal of Beijing No. 4 Middle School: It does not occupy physical education classes, it is a common experience for teachers and students
China News Agency, Beijing, March 6 (Reporter Yang Chengchen) Ma Jinglin, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the principal of Beijing No. 4 Middle School, said in an interview with the media in Beijing on the 6th that contemporary middle school students receive education in sports, aesthetics, labor and other education and achieve their goals for further studies. Not contradictory.
Recently, the degree of social discussion about the inclusion of sports and aesthetic education in the high school entrance examination has been increasing.
Entering the time of the two sessions, the members of the CPPCC in the education sector discussed what kind of quality students need to be cultivated in the new era and how to train such students.
As a high school with indicator significance in China, Ma Jinglin introduced that Beijing No. 4 Middle School believes that family and country sentiments, healthy physique, extensive knowledge, concern for art, concern for technology and labor are qualities that contemporary middle school students should possess.
"Body is the foundation, aesthetic education is the connotation, and labor education embodies social responsibility." In his view, if these contents can be incorporated into daily teaching, the cultivation of these qualities and the ultimate achievement of the goal of entering a higher education will be "a matter of course, but also the same goal."
"Fourth Middle School has persisted for many years to ensure that students have one physical education class every day." Ma Jinglin specifically pointed out that "Don't occupy children's physical education classes", which is the common experience of teachers and students. "(Occupying physical education classes) is not welcome".
Ma Jinglin said that in the new era of building a high-quality education system, there should be a new understanding of the realization of education equity.
For example, in the compulsory education stage, it is emphasized to ensure that the nearest entrance is exempted from examinations. When entering the university stage, it is necessary to make a corresponding choice between fairness and efficiency.
"Fairness includes the fairness of educational opportunities, and it also includes targeted improvement of the quality of education, which requires school education, system construction, and policy requirements to make efforts."
When asked about the difference between online and offline teaching in middle schools, Ma Jinglin thought that "each has its own strengths."
He said that during a special period the school chose online teaching, but offline teaching is the norm in middle schools.
The content carried by education is very rich, and it is necessary to create emotional scenes between students, teachers and students endowed by school life.
Although the teaching during the COVID-19 epidemic has also paid attention to emotional transmission, objectively speaking, this is still not as true as offline education.
Ma Jinglin submitted a proposal on the admission system for primary and secondary school principals this year.
"How can a good principal lead a good school in real work?" He mentioned that the current selection criteria for the principal's professional requirements are not clear enough.
He hopes that those who enter the post of primary and secondary school principals can receive more standardized training.
