What will restricting enrollment in Hengzhong change?

The Education Bureau of Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province recently announced that Hengshui No.1 Middle School had serious irregularities in the enrollment of Shijiazhuang ordinary high schools on 20 16. Based on the enrollment plan of 205 students in Hengshui No.1 Middle School on 20 16, the enrollment plan of Hengshui No.1 Middle School was reduced, and the reduced enrollment plan of Hengshui No.1 Middle School was 20 155 students in Shijiazhuang.

Coincidentally, Chengde City, Hebei Province recently said that Hengshui No.1 Middle School, Shijiazhuang No.2 Experimental School, Zhengding Experimental School, Wuyi Hongda School, Hengshui Cai Ying School, Hengshui Jizhou District Funing School, Hengshui Jizhou District Xindu School and Hengshui Jizhou District No.1 Middle School enrolled students in Chengde in violation of regulations, and decided to "cancel the enrollment qualification of the above schools in our city within three years".

As a result, it will open the "blocking" mode of Hebei cities competing for Hengshui school students represented by Hengzhong. Compared with the "nuclear reduction" in Shijiazhuang, the provincial capital, the moves offered by various places may be more fierce and "lethal". This is obviously not good news. "The resources of ordinary high schools in our city can fully meet the needs of local enrollment", and the "voiceover" of the local education department also clearly understands that our students are too lazy to come to education.

For a long time, students before the entrance examination 100 in several cities in Hebei have basically flowed to Hengshui. Education departments and senior high schools in all parts of Hebei have suffered from the strength of "top notch" in the balance, and they have long been dissatisfied. However, many times, due to the current situation and the inaction of the education authorities, they adopted a forbearing attitude. This time, the Hebei Provincial Department of Education severely criticized Hengshui No.1 Middle School for its irregular or even illegal enrollment, which undoubtedly made these dissatisfaction find an outlet.

However, I'm afraid we can't be too optimistic about the effect of these restrictions and the extent to which they have changed the "equilibrium model".

First, the health index only intensifies the competition of local students who intend to flow to Hengzhong, leading to more enrollment chaos, and cannot fundamentally change the status quo of "top-notch" in Hengzhong. Even if I stop recruiting for three years, what should I do after three years? What's more, whether it is to lower the index or stop recruiting for three years, it is possible to give birth to a large number of "immigrants from the senior high school entrance examination", and the resulting social costs will also increase geometrically. Even if they don't "immigrate", in the past year, there will still be a large number of foreign students who keep their school status in the local area and borrow money from Hengzhong. Therefore, the snowballing effect of "balanced mode" will not stop.

Second, the balance can be "top-notch", and international students and parents are willing to cooperate. The key is that Hengzhong has formed a set of exam-oriented strategies to deal with the college entrance examination. This also makes all localities obviously at a disadvantage in the competition with Hengzhong. If you want to keep students, you must improve the enrollment rate and even keep up with the balance. Otherwise, even if administrative orders are taken, it will be difficult to really work. As a result, a generalized "balance model" has quietly sprouted, and all localities are learning balance while scolding.

This time, the education department restricted the balance, and the ultimate benefit may not be local students. On the contrary, the local enrollment rate is not as good as the local "super middle school" in Hengzhong. Two days ago, after the ban on "stopping recruiting for three years" was introduced in Chengde, some netizens lamented that outstanding students in Chengde would be delayed for another three years. This also shows from one side that as long as the educational soil and educational concept remain unchanged, just issuing a ban will not really change anything.

Therefore, change should start with the basic system. On the one hand, it is necessary to standardize enrollment and investigate all kinds of illegal cross-regional enrollment; On the other hand, we should try our best to balance educational resources, not only to meet the local enrollment demand with ordinary high school resources, but also to meet the students' demand for high-quality high school resources. Of course, it is still necessary to change the current exam-oriented education model. Therefore, we must promote the reform of college entrance examination at the same time, and really guide and educate students from the level of quality education.

I hope everyone will take a warning.
