No.11 Middle School was founded in 1956. In nearly half a century, despite the changing world political situation and the ups and downs of Sino-Russian relations, Chinese teaching in the school has never been interrupted, which is unique in ordinary schools in Moscow.
No.11 Middle School is an eleven-year compulsory education school, with one class per year, 22 students and 5 faculty members. Although the scale of the school is not large, it is one of the few middle schools in Moscow engaged in in in-depth Chinese teaching, and it is the first one in Moscow to take Chinese as the only foreign language and start teaching from grade one. Over the past decades, the school has trained a batch of outstanding Chinese talents for the country. Many of them are active in the diplomatic and news fronts, some have become the business backbones of foreign trade and foreign companies, and some have become a new generation of gardeners to train Chinese talents.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, with the economic contraction, Russia encountered unprecedented difficulties in education, and the shortage of education funds became a universal problem. I have been to some large and medium-sized schools in Moscow, and the excellent teachers are in sharp contrast with the dilapidated school buildings. But the eleventh middle school in front of me is a different scene: classrooms, auditoriums, indoor gymnasiums, activity halls, restaurants, dormitories, bathrooms and amusement halls, etc., which are so clean and tidy, orderly, solemn and lively, and exude youthful vitality. If summarized in a few words, that is:? Small and exquisite, exquisite and elegant, the sparrow is small and has all five internal organs. ?
All these are condensed with the painstaking efforts of all the teaching staff in No.11 Middle School and their devotion to education. In order to repair the dilapidated school buildings, the school leaders did not know how many trips to the municipal and district education authorities, how many reports they made, and how many complaints they made, and finally they were moved. God? Make the school look brand-new. According to the relevant provisions of China's universal compulsory education, students' food, accommodation, textbooks and even exercise books at school are free, as the Russians say. No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and you can't be bitter in children. ? Teachers in No.11 Middle School, with their loyalty to education, have created a good learning environment for children under difficult conditions.
No.11 Middle School has a strong faculty, many of whom graduated from famous Russian universities. Among the 4 teachers, 3 won the title of honorary educator of Russian Federation and 11 won the title of outstanding people's educator. In addition to regular courses, the school also cultivates children's interests and talents in music, dance, painting, singing, news, translation and tour guides through supplementary education system. The multifunctional activity hall with an area of several hundred square meters has become the place where students show their talents and attract them most.
The layout of the classroom is completely different from the monotony and boredom of the blackboards, platforms and desks in the classrooms of China schools. At the back of the classroom is a row of bookcases, which are filled with all kinds of teaching and extracurricular reading materials for children to read at will. The walls are pasted with students' paintings, poems, essays and other literary and artistic works, and even the curriculum is painted with colorful illustrations. Next to the window is a row of small sofas without handrails for children to rest during classes. Blackboards and desks are wrapped in a colorful, warm and lively atmosphere, which gives people the feeling that they are more like families or kindergartens, making students live since childhood.
The teachers in No.11 Middle School have devoted their enthusiasm and selfless love, such as the cuckoo crying blood, to train the next generation of Russia into people with all-round development in morality, intelligence and physique and mental health.
There is a high-level Chinese teaching team in No.11 Middle School. In addition to Chinese teachers in our country, there are also four Chinese teachers, the largest number in Moscow Chinese School. The school is a dual foreign language school, but only Chinese is taught in grades one to four, and English is taught from grade five. But from the inside and outside layout of the school, it seems to be a pure Chinese school. There is a red banner hanging in the middle of the hall of the school building, which reads in Chinese? Welcome? There are many Chinese books, dictionaries, books and picture albums introducing China in the bookcase of the classroom. On the wall, there are maps of China and Chinese New Year couplets, banners, calligraphy and Chinese paintings written by students in Chinese. The stage background of the activity hall is Chinese banners and soaring loong. The students studied China Wushu in physical education class, sang China songs and danced China dance on the stage. In the principal's office, photos and souvenirs related to China are everywhere.
The teachers' loyalty to education, their love for cultivating the next generation, and their unfailing enthusiasm and devotion to Chinese teaching in No.11 Middle School can't help but shock people. Another surprise is that the school has a set of Chinese satellite receiver, which can receive more than 3 channels in China's central and local areas. Every classroom, office and other activity places in the school have TV sets for receiving Chinese programs, with clear images and good sound. This set of TV satellite receiving devices presented by the Office of Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language of the Ministry of Education of China has played a very good role in improving the teaching level of teachers and students and understanding China culture, and is deeply loved by teachers and students.
president Allah? Pavlova? Yakovlev is a straightforward, decisive, talented and energetic professional woman, and her excellent management of the school fully shows her leadership skills; The reason why the school can get the repair funds shows that she also has strong diplomatic and public relations skills. Enthusiasm for Chinese teaching and friendship with China, as well as Russian hospitality, are perfectly reflected in her.
