For a long time to support the peach and plum for a long time to see the true love
In February 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping solemnly declared that my country has won a comprehensive victory in the fight against poverty.
As my country’s border counties and formerly concentrated contiguous destitute areas with the largest number of ethnic minorities in the past, the western Yunnan area has a weak foundation, and poverty alleviation and intellectual support have a fundamental role in social development.
Behind the "one step across the millennium", batches of outstanding teaching support teams came to western Yunnan and changed the face of local education.
From the team of teachers in Hai’an City, Jiangsu Province, which has supported Lijiang’s Ninglang Yi Autonomous County for 33 consecutive years, to the Nujiang Education Support Team launched by the Ministry of Education in September 2020, teaching support has opened a window for education in remote areas in western Yunnan and has changed many things. The fate of poor students.
From "Timber for Talent" to "Uncle Haian"
Ten years of trees, a hundred years of trees.
The fate between Hai'an and Ninglang begins with the trees and ends with the trees.
In the autumn of 1987, Azudaling, then secretary of the Ninglang County Party Committee, led a delegation to Haian to study and inspect, and was deeply impressed by the gap in education standards between the two places.
At this time, the opening up of coastal areas is in full swing. Hai'an County, which is located on the coast of the East China Sea, lacks timber for construction, and an agreement to support education with "wood for talents" was signed.
In August 1988, the first group of 35 teaching support teachers took their families to Xiaoliangshan area thousands of miles away to participate in the construction of "Ninghai Junior Middle School" named after the first word of Ninglang and Hai'an counties.
On the second day of arrival, a rush of mudslides poured in, broke the dam, rushed into the playground, and rushed into the wooden house where the teachers were temporarily sheltered. The bedding and luggage were all soaked in mud that was more than a foot deep.
A young teacher wrote in his diary: "A dozen people squeezed into a room... I looked up from the mountains on top of each other, and looked down in mud. I just missed home and home. But in the end I thought of the responsibility of this trip. "
The supporting teachers started to act, digging their shoulders with their hands, sweating like rain, cleaning up the silt in the school, and buying wood to build temporary classrooms and dining halls.
There is no water in the temporary residence. Drinking water is carried back from bucket to bucket hundreds of meters away by ditching. Ninglang is high in altitude, low in boiling point, and the rice is not cooked well. Teachers often fill up their hunger with potatoes; they cannot communicate with each other because of language barrier. ; The basics of the first-year freshmen are not up to the level of the fourth grade primary school students in Hai’an, and many people do not even know how to perform mixed operations.
Many students have uncorrected learning attitudes, smoking, eating, and disobedience during class; customs taboos and parents’ distrust are a big mountain in front of the support teachers...
The teachers in Hai’an first started with management, formulated strict rules and regulations, implemented the management system of grade group leader, the responsibility system of teacher positions, and the key teacher check system, and the school's work was carried out in an orderly manner.
Management became stricter, and problems followed one after another.
The Hai’an team is preparing to ban smoking. The local teacher said: “You can’t stop! The Yi people’s proverb says, “Tobacco is for children and grandchildren, smoking is for children and grandchildren.” If you want to ban smoking, don’t you want to stop people’s incense?” Report the reward and punishment system, set up a no-smoking team, post a no-smoking proposal, organize debates and essay activities, and take the lead in not smoking on campus.
Gradually, students no longer see smoking on campus.
The love of the support teachers is seen and remembered by the masses.
Jiang Bosen, who has been teaching for 4 consecutive times, will definitely visit his home as long as there is a red or white matter in the home of minority teachers; Ding Aijun and Jiang Rong, who have been teaching for 5 times, have transformed their dormitory in Ninglang into a "home" for poor students. He often "saves a small stove" for ethnic students; the director Lu Xiangtai gave up his rest time and helped ethnic minority people repair electrical appliances for free all year round; Teacher Li Peiyu sent warm quilts to Bai student A Xiuying on cold nights; Teacher Tian Baoshan was about to drop out of school Lu Yuming, a Pumi child from the Pumi nationality, took him home with food and housing; Teacher Zhou Zheng touched the house of Liu Daijin, a Yi girl who was forced to marry and was suspended from school by her parents. …
Over the past 33 years, there have been 10 batches of 285 people, and a total of 216 teachers from Hai’an have come to Ninglang to teach.
The Hai’an support education teachers let batches of children out of the mountains out of the mountains, and trained more than 20,000 qualified junior and high school graduates, and sent more than 10,000 college and technical secondary school students, including 9 city college entrance examination champions and 6 city students. No. 1 in the senior high school entrance examination.
In the mouth of the local minority people, the Hai'an support education teacher has changed from "Jiangsu guy" to "Uncle Hai'an."
Famous teachers support the decisive fight against poverty
The Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province is located in the northwestern part of Yunnan Province, at the border between China and Myanmar and the junction of Yunnan and Tibet. In one, more than 98% of the area is high mountains and valleys, and the reasons for poverty are complex.
During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the area of school buildings in Nujiang Prefecture increased by 578,600 square meters, the campus achieved full coverage of the network, and all counties and cities passed the national compulsory education balanced development assessment and acceptance.
The state implements 14 years of free education from kindergarten to high school. School-age children and adolescents drop out of school due to poverty and drop out of school.
The smoothing of the hardware gap highlights the core problems that are really thorny: functional classrooms are available, but many teachers in class do not have them; information equipment is equipped, and many teachers do not use, do not often use, and do not like to use; classroom desks and chairs are updated Some teachers’ teaching methods are still the old ones; the students who dropped out have been found, but many teachers can’t teach, which affects the classroom.
Entering 2020, the fight against poverty has entered the stage of decisive victory.
In October 2020, the Ministry of Education decided to implement the Nujiang Education Support Program of the Famous Teacher Pilot Project.
From 23 provinces and cities across the country, 60 support teachers, carefully selected by the first phase of the famous teacher pilot project, rushed to the Nu River from all over the motherland.
There were two batches in the two semesters before and after the famous teacher pilot project Nujiang education support operation, the first batch was 60 people, and the second batch was 54 people.
The ethnic regions in the central and western regions, such as Xinjiang, Tibet, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Guizhou, Gansu, etc., that often appear as aid recipients on weekdays have sent their own support teachers.
"The teachers selected for the famous teacher pilot project are all top business leaders and outstanding people in various schools. Through voluntary registration, they quickly reached the basic requirement of 3 students on the school." The relevant person in charge of the famous teacher pilot project introduced.
Among the more than 100 supporting teachers in each of the two semesters, there are 7 famous teachers leading the engineering studio, and there are also many special-grade, provincial famous teachers or candidate famous teachers among other members.
There are couples or families with their children, there are couples who take the relay, and there are also those who take the initiative to continue after the original teaching time is over, or even stay as long as the need arises.
"They are backbones in my school, and backbones in my own home. Behind the story, there is more of a feeling, a kind of love, responsibility and dedication." The person in charge said.
The "Opinions on Accelerating the Revitalization of Rural Talents" puts forward: "Reform and improve the'National Training Plan', further promote the'Internet + Compulsory Education', and improve the rural teacher development system." The revitalization of rural talents depends on education.
Education requires love and a long-term mechanism of assistance and connection.
The Teacher Work Department of the Ministry of Education relies on the "National Training Program" to carry out a comprehensive action to support and send teachers to improve the core literacy of teachers in Nujiang and Liangshan areas, relying on the education information construction promoted by units such as the Central Audio-visual Education Center, and relying on Haidian teachers to further their studies. The construction of the teacher development center promoted by schools and other units, relying on the precision training and precise assistance promoted by the three major campus principal centers and local colleges and universities, has provided the rural teacher development system with a "Nujiang model" of education assistance.
"You live at the head of the Yangtze River, and I live at the end of the Yangtze River. We drink the same river water. We are connected!" This is the tenth round of the first class of the school. Tao Changjiang, the leader of the Hai'an Ninglang support teaching team and the vice principal of Yunnan Ninglang National Middle School, teaches students. The first sentence spoken is also the inner portrayal and far-reaching motivation behind the long-standing work of the western Yunnan support teaching team.
