Where is the new admission policy? The concept of "school district housing" no longer exists.

Original title: Where is the new admission policy?

At the end of March, the Ministry of Education issued the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in Enrollment of Ordinary Primary and Secondary Schools in 20 19", and implemented policies such as multi-school scribing, admission of private primary and secondary schools without exams, and prohibition of enrollment under the name of "international courses", which made the enrollment of primary and secondary schools this year more variable than in previous years. Subsequently, Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places have introduced specific refinement policies.

What are the important adjustments in this year's new enrollment policy? What are the problems to be solved behind the policy adjustment? What is the attitude of parents? The reporter conducted an investigation on this.

Multi-school scribing ensures balance, and the school district is not worthy of the name.

● Reporter investigation? The convenience of enrolling in Beijing No.2 Experimental Primary School and junior high school directly to prestigious schools once made Wenchang Hutong in Xicheng District of Beijing have a "school district" with a price of 40. 1 10,000 square meters. Once upon a time, the single-school enrollment rule of compulsory education triggered the abnormal development of the real estate market. Nowadays, single school scribing is no longer the only admission rule.

Haidian District, which has the most concentrated educational resources in Beijing, issued a policy on 20 18. From 20 19 10, newly registered houses with real estate ownership certificates in Haidian District will no longer be used for admission, and multi-school dicing will be implemented.

Multi-school scribing has cooled the irrational expansion of school districts, but can it really alleviate the "school choice anxiety" of parents who "win" step by step?

"Now it's not safe anywhere except Shangdi." After learning that there will be multi-school dicing, many parents in Haidian District of Beijing concluded: "The educational resources in Shangdi School District are relatively balanced. Even after multi-school dicing, they are not worried about their children being assigned to ordinary schools."

These days, Wang Jianxin, who lives in Xingfu Village School District, Chaoyang District, Beijing, has mixed feelings. According to the policy of 20 18, his children's household registration corresponds to five schools, including Chaoyang School, Hujialou Middle School and Stadium Road Middle School. "I don't know whether to implement multi-school dicing or single-school dicing this year. Has the school district changed? "

Up to now, the corresponding policies of specific school districts in Beijing's education department have not yet been issued.

In 20 15, the Ministry of Education put forward the policy proposal of multi-school scribing, requiring 24 key cities such as Beijing and Shanghai to promote multi-school scribing in hot primary schools and junior high schools to alleviate the housing problem in school districts. Beijing, Shanghai and other places have carried out local exploration of multi-school dicing.

According to the reporter's investigation, at present, many cities still implement the coexistence of single school and multi-school scribing, among which multi-school scribing has not been fully implemented in all districts of Beijing. This year, the Beijing Municipal Education Commission proposed to steadily promote the enrollment method of combining single-school scribing with multi-school scribing.

Multi-school scribing is not the only choice for all places. The Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education once said that the province's educational resources are relatively balanced and have been implemented for many years. "The system is mature and the effect is good." Multi-school scribing will not be adopted in the near future.

● Policy?

Ministry of Education: In places where educational resources are not balanced enough, multi-school scribing will be implemented steadily, and random allocation will be adopted for admission.

● Parents' questions?

Why do some places implement single-school scribing and some places implement multi-school scribing? How to ensure the nearest school entrance?

● Expert explanation?

Chu Zhaohui, researcher of China Academy of Educational Sciences:

Theoretically, the implementation of single school scribing must meet the conditions of a school with widely recognized teaching quality and sufficient degree in the school district. The premise of implementing multi-school scribing is that the education development in the school district is balanced and the school quality is basically the same. From the perspective of Beijing, many school districts have different internal conditions, so it is impossible to adopt a "one size fits all" approach of single school or multiple schools. The combination of multi-school scribing and single-school scribing is a compromise way to ensure fair admission opportunities.

Whether it is a single school or multiple schools, it is always difficult to alleviate the impulse to choose a school. It is only a transitional measure to promote the balance of compulsory education resources and let people see the government's efforts to narrow the gap between schools and create equal opportunities for all students.

"Flexible admission" is difficult to land, and how old you go to school depends on your psychological age.

● Reporter investigation? Recently, Qin Luo, a parent of Haidian District, Beijing, brushed a message in a circle of friends, "The age of admission to primary schools has been adjusted this year, and the age of admission can be relaxed to before 65438+February 3 1 of that year." Qin Luo's son was born on 20 13129 October. At first, he thought that his children needed to postpone entering school until next year. After seeing this news, Qin Luo was "happy and worried".

Early the next morning, Qin Luo prepared an account, filled in the information, and began to make plans for her children to enroll in school. When she went to school with all the information, she was told that she had not received such a policy notice. It was not until on the way back that she decided that this was a rumor after careful screening.

First of all, she found out that the General Office of the Ministry of Education had issued the Notice on Doing a Good Job in Compulsory Education for 20 17 years, which mentioned that the deadline for the birth of children in the first grade of primary school was determined by the provincial education administrative department according to the law and the actual situation. However, she found that "flexible enrollment" was not implemented so quickly.

The reporter found that up to now, many places have followed the previous policy and did not postpone the birth date of the insured children from 3 1 in August of that year to 65438+3 1 in February of that year. Schools all over the country generally equate the "basic age of compulsory education" with the "primary school entrance age", and implement the policy that children who have reached the age of 6 on August 3 1 of that year enter the first grade of primary school, while children born after September 1 of that year still have to wait until the next year to enter school.

● Policy?

Ministry of Education: guarantee school-age children and adolescents to enter school according to law. All localities should strictly implement the compulsory education law, the law on the protection of minors and other legal provisions to effectively protect the right of school-age children and adolescents to receive compulsory education.

● Parents' questions?

In fact, the "hard lever" of "August 3 1" will always become a "roadblock" that puzzles many families in the primary school enrollment season every year. Qin Luo felt that his children's intelligence and mental level were relatively mature, and they could receive primary education, which would certainly not be worse than those who passed the customs. Why can't we implement "flexible enrollment"? How to scientifically judge children's school age?

● Expert explanation?

Professor Luo Zubing of Huazhong Normal University:

In our country, the implementation of "flexible enrollment" may lead to the overall advance of the enrollment age of primary school students. On the one hand, it is not conducive to the study and development of all students, and it will also lead to a serious shortage of degrees in the short term. It is a systematic project to cancel or relax the age limit for admission. So far, no place has explicitly announced the implementation of the "flexible admission" policy.

After entering school, children should take part in formal learning activities. Therefore, the admission time should not be based solely on the physical age of the child, but on the psychological age, which is different among individuals. Most States in the United States require students to be at least five years old to enter school. Australia, like the United States, has strict restrictions on the age of primary school entrance, but the regulations in different States are different. Compulsory education in Britain begins at the age of 5, but after the child reaches the age of 4, parents can choose to attend the preparatory classes for primary schools in September of that year or in June of April of the following year.

At present, there is a great call for "flexible enrollment" in society. On the surface, it is the parents' mentality of "rushing to run". In fact, it is rooted in the age limit in the recruitment system. I still suggest adopting "flexible enrollment", so that parents can decide their children's enrollment time independently during the enrollment period designated by the education department, which is conducive to their development and make full use of educational resources. However, parents should be reminded that if their children's intellectual development level is not enough, there may be risks.

Both public and private are the same, emphasizing fairness and quality to a greater extent.

● Reporter investigation? After careful study, Fan Zeng, a parent of Minhang District, decided to give up the public schools in the first batch and choose Qibao Foreign Language Primary School and Shanda Garden Primary School, which are private schools, when she filled in her daughter's wishes for Beibei Primary School.

This year is the second year of public and private recruitment in Shanghai. According to the regulations, students in Shanghai can only choose between private batches and public batches when filling in their volunteers. If the first batch of private schools are not admitted, they will be admitted by public schools with remaining degrees.

At present, Beijing, Chengdu, Hangzhou and other places have implemented the policy of "public recruitment and private recruitment".

"Parents' anxiety often comes from too many uncertain factors. "Fan Zeng said frankly that in the past," running privately and protecting the public "was the most perfect school choice strategy for parents, and occasionally it was mixed with various black-box operations such as running privately and pinching tips. Now, for parents, running a public office and running a private office saves a lot of anxiety. They just need to find a suitable school for their children instead of taking crooked ways.

● Policy?

Ministry of Education: All localities should standardize the enrollment management of private compulsory education schools, bring the enrollment of private compulsory education schools into the unified management of the examination and approval areas, and enroll students simultaneously with public schools. Students should not be selected in advance in any form, and the enrollment order of students should be resolutely prevented.

● Parents' problems

Why do you want to implement public and private recruitment? How to choose between "safe" public ownership and "uncertain" private ownership?

● Expert explanation

Professor Qin Yuyou of Northeast Normal University:

It is of great significance for the orderly development of compulsory education and the prevention of chaos in private education in some areas. In some places, the past enrollment practices of private compulsory education schools are bound to be adjusted, and all localities need to take corresponding measures to adapt different stakeholders, especially parents, to this policy adjustment.

Compulsory education should maximize the development of "quality education equity" and "quality education". The disorderly development of private education in some places, poaching excellent teachers from public schools and enjoying the policy of enrolling and harvesting excellent students in advance, makes public schools lack excellent students who reflect the quality of education, which seriously affects the image of public compulsory education schools.

For parents facing the choice of whether their children go to public or private schools, the simple strategy of "rushing to private schools and protecting public schools" is no longer applicable. Some parents who have been "prepared" for the past enrollment practice of private schools need to know the new enrollment policy of private schools as soon as possible, and make a safe and responsible choice between entering public schools nearby and choosing private schools corresponding to their children's enrollment competitiveness according to their children's competitiveness.
