  Recently, the General Office of the Ministry of Education issued the "Administrative Measures for Off-campus Training Materials for Primary and Secondary School Students (Trial)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Administrative Measures").

  1. Question: Please introduce the background of the formulation of the "Management Measures".

  Answer: First, implement the central decision and deployment.

The Party Central Committee attaches great importance to the "double reduction" work.

In July this year, 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 Further Reducing the Work Burden of Students in Compulsory Education and the Burden of Off-campus Training", clearly requiring the establishment of a training content filing and supervision system, and formulating and promulgating training materials management measures for off-campus training institutions .

  The second is to implement the fundamental task of Lide Shuren.

To fully implement the party's educational policy and implement the fundamental task of Lide and fostering people, we must not only strengthen the main position of school education, but also focus on off-campus training and education, and build a good education ecology.

At the basic education stage, whether inside or outside the school, it is the responsibility to protect the healthy growth of children and promote their all-round development. There are no blank or gray areas. The training materials, the educating carrier, must be strictly controlled.

  The third is the practical need for standardized management.

As the management of off-campus training institutions continues to deepen, various training materials have become the focus and difficulty of management.

For a long time, training materials have problems such as orientation, standardization, and lack of scientificity. The requirements for their compilation, review, and selection are not clear enough, and there is a lack of system for the management of training materials.

In actual work, there is an urgent need to strengthen relevant norms and requirements and improve system construction.

  2. Question: Please tell us about the development process of the "Management Measures".

  Answer: In the process of developing the "Administrative Measures", we mainly carried out the following tasks: First, systematically sort out the literature.

Conduct in-depth research on relevant national policies, research results on special topics, and local documents such as standards for off-campus training institutions in various provinces (regions, cities) across the country, and management methods for off-campus training institutions to grasp the basis of existing work.

The second is to carry out multi-party research.

For parents of students and training institutions, select provinces such as Beijing, Fujian, Jiangxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Xinjiang, etc., adopt written surveys and on-site surveys, listen to opinions extensively, clarify the main problems in training materials, and clarify what the "Management Measures" govern Focus and boundaries.

The third is to solicit opinions extensively.

Persist in researching, drafting, and revising at the same time.

After the manuscript is formed, special research is carried out, two rounds of opinions are solicited from all provincial education administrative departments across the country, the opinions and suggestions are studied, judged and absorbed one by one, and the manuscript is improved.

  3. Question: What training materials are included in the "Administrative Measures"?

  Answer: The training materials referred to in the "Administrative Measures" refer to the learning materials for primary and middle school students independently compiled by approved and registered off-school training institutions, including online and offline, subject-based and non-subject-based training materials.

  The third is to strengthen social supervision.

Training material management includes both static editing and reviewing, as well as dynamic training use, involving practitioners, students, parents and other social aspects. Only by fully relying on the participation and supervision of all parties can the quality of training materials be ensured.

Therefore, it is necessary to focus on comprehensive policy implementation, dynamic supervision, establish smooth information feedback and supervision and reporting channels, and actively play the supervisory role of industry organizations, professional institutions, and the media to form a multi-party joint force.
