What are the reasons for the closure of some rural schools?

The sharp decrease in the number of rural students is the direct cause of school closures.

The town center primary school where I studied in junior high school had more than 3,000 students 20 years ago. There were also 8 village primary schools, each with two to three hundred students. Today, the town center primary school now has There are more than 500 students, and all eight village primary schools have closed down. The original school buildings are also used as village affairs offices or are idle. What is the reason that causes so many small village schools to close down? I think there are the following reasons.

1. Family planning reduces the number of students

Before the implementation of the family planning policy, basically every family had two or more children. At that time, the number of students The base is very large. In order to ensure that rural children can enroll in schools nearby, primary schools have been built in villages with a large number of students. The teaching staff is also uniformly deployed and managed by the town central primary school.

After the implementation of the family planning policy, a couple was required to have only one child, and the number of students dropped sharply. Some rural primary schools were unable to recruit students, so some village primary schools began to cancel or merge, resulting in There is a wave of bankruptcies in village schools.

2. Rural students move to cities to study one after another

With the rapid development of society, rural families pay more and more attention to their children’s education, and want their children to enjoy high-quality educational resources. By buying a house Or they can work in cities and bring their children to urban schools. This is one of the reasons why rural school enrollment continues to decrease.

3. Private schools have taken away some students

Nowadays, private primary schools have appeared in many towns. Their school buildings and teaching staff are better than those of public schools. They are slowly forming in the local area. In order to gain access to the word-of-mouth market, some parents send their children to private primary schools, taking away students from public schools, resulting in fewer and fewer students in rural schools.

The above are personal opinions. If you have any other reasons, please share them in the comment area.

The main reason is that there are too many teachers who are just dawdling, and there are simply not enough teachers to teach good students. Many teachers’ children are not qualified to teach well. Who can rest assured? Not to destroy the next generation.

1. There are fewer and fewer students

Twenty years ago, most village-level primary schools had one class for each grade, and there were six grades per class. The school has about 200 people and more than a dozen teachers. The fundamental reason for the decrease in students is an artificial decrease, which has no causal relationship with the country's family planning policy. A considerable number of students follow their parents to work or do business in the cities, and go to central primary schools in counties and towns to study. The chain reaction caused by this is that many parents feel that the school has few students and the teachers are of average quality, so they artificially transfer their children away. If this vicious cycle continues, there will be fewer and fewer students.

2. There are fewer and fewer teachers

As the number of students is decreasing, fewer and fewer teachers are recruited every year. The personnel department determines the number of teachers based on student data, and the number of teachers will also be reduced accordingly. Twenty years ago, substitute teachers were common in every village-level primary school. Due to the one-size-fits-all national policy, all substitute teachers were dismissed. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. It faces a shortage of teachers. Each township finds its own way to merge schools that are relatively close together. Because the school conditions, living environment, and working environment of village-level primary schools are very different, many teachers are unwilling to teach in village communities and find ways to go to central primary schools and county primary schools. The phenomenon of peacocks flying southeast also leads to sex, and there are fewer and fewer teachers.

3. With the acceleration of urbanization, the number of schools is decreasing.

The place where I live belongs to the urban-rural fringe area. Many years ago, local people made a living by farming. The urban development space expanded to the periphery, and this place became a new development zone in the city. Due to the large-scale demolition and construction, a considerable part of the village was demolished. Unexpectedly, some primary schools were also demolished. The township where I live has reduced its original 14 primary schools to five. In addition to the two important reasons mentioned above, the accelerated urbanization process has demolished nearly half of the villages. This has also led to a reduction in the number of primary schools. Of course, the development zone itself has also invested in building some new primary schools to meet the needs of new urban areas, new growth in population and education.

I am Huizhifang, welcome to forward ten messages!

There are many reasons why some rural schools close down. The main reason is the influence of the social environment.

Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, society has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the pace of urbanization has been further accelerated. Young and middle-aged workers are the main force in urbanization construction. Therefore, school-age children studying in cities where their parents work are the main reason for the loss of students in rural schools.

Secondly, the implementation of the family planning policy has caused the number of births to decrease year by year. Although the family planning policy is now relaxed, each couple is allowed to have two children. However, due to the increasing pressure of life, most couples are unwilling to have a second child.

Thirdly, the few children currently studying in rural schools are children from very special families. For example, children of single parents whose parents are divorced do not have the conditions to go to the city to study. They can only be looked after by their grandparents in their hometown in the countryside. There is also a situation where the parents have intellectual problems and do not have the conditions, so they can only work in the countryside while taking care of their children while studying.

Although the conditions in rural areas are better now, they are still far behind the superior conditions in cities.

Therefore, there are fewer and fewer students in rural schools, while there are more and more students in urban schools. The problem of large class sizes in urban schools will be difficult to solve.

This is my humble opinion. The answer to the question is not profound enough, so please forgive me!

The closure of rural primary schools is an inevitable trend in social development, and it is directly related to the massive decrease in the rural population.

Young people have brought their children to the city, and the rest are basically the elderly. Only a very small number of left-behind children are studying locally. There are no students in the villages on the mountain, and the few three or two students have been integrated into the primary schools in the township markets.

It is particularly important to emphasize that there are two types of rural primary schools. One is remote rural primary schools, many of which are still adobe buildings and have long since become dilapidated. In addition, there are primary schools in rural market towns. These are basically hope primary schools rebuilt by the state in the later period. The market towns have a relatively large population, and there are a few students from surrounding villages who are still running classes normally.

The closure of rural primary schools is a sign of social progress and reflects the opening of a new chapter in the quality of China’s educational environment.

Hello everyone, I am Xiaoxi, a farmer. Thanks for asking!

Some village-level primary schools in rural areas have closed down. What is the main reason? Regarding this issue, I think the main reasons are as follows.

Most rural people are very poor and have lived a hard life all their lives, so they place all their hopes on their children's learning, hoping that their children will no longer live the same hard life as they do. day. In addition, going to college is the only way out and the only hope for rural children. Therefore, regardless of whether their financial conditions allow it, rural parents are trying to transfer their children from rural primary schools to primary schools in towns or counties. Furthermore, the educational conditions in primary schools in towns or counties are indeed better than those in rural primary schools. They can not only improve the educational conditions for children, but also cultivate their various interests and hobbies as well as their cheerful and lively personalities. Therefore, the backward educational conditions in rural areas have led to a gradual decrease in the number of children going to school in rural areas, which has also led to the gradual closure of rural primary schools.

There is a serious situation in rural areas where one generation has more people and one generation has fewer people. This may be the result of social development changing people's ideas and family planning. Therefore, the rural population has a decreasing trend from the post-80s generation to the post-90s generation and then to the post-00s generation, which leads to a gradual decrease in the number of students in rural primary schools. Coupled with the increase in the rural out-migration population, slowly there are no more students studying in rural primary schools. This has led to the collapse of rural primary schools.

Thanks for reading, please add me to follow, thank you!

Many village-level schools in rural areas have closed down. I think the main reason is that the current level of economic development is improving and the urbanization process is growing.

When young people from rural areas go to cities to work, they take their children to study. Gradually, the children settle in the city, and there are basically no ones who come back to study. Moreover, the wave of buying houses is so hot now, young people need to have a house. Many young people are running to cities to buy houses. Naturally, there are not many young people in rural areas, and consequently there are even fewer students in rural schools.

The difference in teaching facilities also leads to more students moving to cities. There is still a big difference in teaching hardware and software facilities between rural and urban areas. Take my rural school as an example, the classrooms are There is a blackboard, some tables and chairs from the 1970s and 1980s, and there is already a ten centimeter deep hole in the floor. There are not enough classrooms. There are three or four function rooms put together. There is only one multimedia screen in the whole school, and the teaching model is still old-fashioned. Yes, there is no way. There are only single digits in one class, a dozen students, and only more than fifty people in five grades. In some schools, there are even fewer students, and the entire class in the school has single digits.

The number of people in rural schools is really small. The above still have to build schools, operate schools, and allocate teachers. This has caused serious waste to a large extent. It can be adjusted appropriately.

I have a say in this issue. I studied in a rural area in elementary school and experienced school closures three times in six years. Looking back now, I still remember it fresh.

My experience of rural school closures:

Now there are no schools within 5 kilometers of our village. Children who want to go to school must go to a larger town 5 kilometers away. Only formal primary schools exist.

Later, I also analyzed the reasons for school closure:

For example, my first elementary school only had 5 teachers in 18 schools. The number of people was too small, and one teacher had to There are 2 classes, one class for two grades. It's very confusing and will inevitably go bankrupt.

In the three primary schools I have experienced, the level of teachers is very low. The highest level is only a high school degree. Most of them have a junior high school degree, and they are all teachers hired temporarily. Regardless of whether the teachers are very responsible, they are probably from the village. They all want the children in the village to have a future.

Large-scale mergers of towns and villages have led to population concentration. Many villages are no longer inhabited. Only by letting some schools close down and pooling effective teachers, funds, equipment, etc. can schools be run. Only in this way can we provide students with high-quality teaching.

The closure of rural schools is a historical progress and is of great significance to the improvement of rural children's academic performance.

The main reason for the closure of the school is the lack of students.

I went back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year. My friend who is a teacher confided: In a few years, I may be unemployed and the school will be gone. He said that the number of students enrolled now is getting smaller. Last year, the school had a new enrollment. There are 60 people, but this year there are only 30. I don’t know what will happen next year, and about 10 students have transferred away this year. It's getting really bleak. We also discussed some reasons

Firstly, now most people in rural areas have gone out to work, and most of them are old people who have been at home all year round. However, those who have been working outside for several years have gradually become stable and will take their children with them. Studying in local private schools is also one of the main factors in the loss of students in schools.

Secondly, with the accelerated urbanization process in recent years, local counties are now developing rapidly. On the one hand, large-scale shanty town reconstruction is taking place, and on the other hand, new residential land areas are not allowed to increase in rural areas, resulting in new Due to the housing demand, we have to buy houses in cities and towns, and because there are new residential areas planned and constructed in various places, primary and secondary schools and kindergartens should be planned, designed, constructed, accepted, and delivered at the same time as the residential areas; In residential areas, planned kindergartens for primary and secondary schools should be planned and constructed simultaneously with the residential areas during the first phase of development and construction, and should be delivered for use simultaneously. Policies such as this make it very convenient for home buyers to have their children attend school at home.

Third, there are many problems in rural schools themselves, such as insufficient teachers, serious aging of teachers, and even problems with teaching attitudes, and many are just getting by. Although a number of young teachers have been recruited in recent years, many of them directly find others to take their place and do other things themselves. There are also insufficient teaching facilities. For example, my friend’s school only has a basketball court, and there are no sports equipment available for physical education classes. Most of the physical education classes just wander around the playground.

In the 1970s and 1980s, especially when the rural population was expanding, there were more students and more rural schools were built. However, now the new population is decreasing and the rural population is migrating out. Due to multiple factors, , resulting in the fact that only the elderly are left behind in rural areas, and the newly added population is decreasing rapidly.

In short, the disappearance and closure of rural schools is a phenomenon that occurs under the influence of comprehensive factors and will continue for some time to come.

'There are indeed fewer and fewer primary schools in rural areas. It is sad to analyze the reasons for the decrease in rural schools. Because, from this, I can’t help but think of the increasing depression in the countryside. The veins are still crisscrossing and the houses are constantly being updated, but it is rare to hear the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs. It is rare to see busy farmers walking on the streets of the village. There are only many old people sleeping soundly against the wall with their rickets. . There is more than enough old-fashioned energy, but not enough vigor and vitality. There are fewer and fewer primary schools in rural areas, which means that there are fewer and fewer people coming from rural areas. The situation of rural schools today and the situation of rural villages in the future may follow the footsteps of schools.

Analysis of the reasons is nothing more than the following:

First, due to the implementation of the family planning policy, the number of new births in rural areas is decreasing year by year, and there are correspondingly fewer school-age children.

Second, young and middle-aged people in rural areas go out to work. When possible, they take their children with them to study in urban schools.

Third, the rise of private schools and public schools to earn students. Rural people who have earned money choose private boarding schools for their children. On the one hand, they can afford the tuition fees, and on the other hand, they can concentrate on making money.

Fourth, farmers’ demand for cultural knowledge has changed, and they have realized the horror of being uncultured. In order to improve the quality of life of the next generation, they have begun to pay attention to the education of children. One after another, they went to the city to buy real estate, let their families accompany them to study, and enjoy the relatively complete educational resources in the city.

Fifth, rural teachers are older, have poor teaching ability, are not dedicated to their work, have a dawdling attitude, have low teaching quality, and have lost the trust of parents. Due to salary issues and limited promotion space, young teachers dislike rural schools and do not teach in rural schools. This is also one reason why there are fewer and fewer students in rural schools. The flow of capable rural teachers recognized by students and parents to cities has only increased parents' disappointment in rural schools. As a last resort, the children were sent to the county schools to study.

Now the government is increasing investment in rural schools and trying its best to reduce the imbalance of urban and rural educational resources. Beautiful school buildings, modern educational equipment, generous equipment and construction, but people seem not to appreciate these. The most critical issue is the teacher issue. If young teachers emerge in rural schools in large numbers and the teaching quality satisfies parents, I believe no one will be willing to send their children to Go to the county town or a private school to study. The country must implement a two-exemption and one-subsidy policy for students in compulsory education in public schools, as well as free meals. It is convenient for parents to take care of anything when they go to school at their own door, which is beneficial to the physical and mental health of their children. But all this can only be a fantasy.

The number of rural schools is decreasing year by year, which is not conducive to the future development of rural areas in the long run. It is said that without agriculture, there will be no stability. The countryside is the solid foundation of a country, and its importance to the country is self-evident. Paying attention to the construction of rural schools now means attaching importance to the construction of rural society in the future, which means attaching importance to the future construction of the country.
