"In the 30 years of reform and opening up, great changes have taken place in the conditions for running schools, dilapidated school buildings have become buildings, and modern media classrooms have become obvious. In the 30 years of reform and opening up, the treatment of teachers has changed a lot, with a monthly salary of tens to thousands, and medical security has been fully developed. " This is an old teacher who witnessed the development and changes of education in the past 30 years in the form of poetry and concisely expressed the gratifying achievements of education in the past 30 years. The changes of Pujiang education in the past 30 years are described from the aspects of school building changes, teacher construction, educational research, improvement of modern educational facilities and improvement of teachers' treatment.
I. Changes in school buildings
In the early days of reform and opening up, most schools in our county were very humble, and bungalows were the mainstream of classrooms in that era. Old school buildings cannot adapt to the development of modern education. After 30 years of development, especially in the recent 15 years, our county has increased its investment in education. Taking advantage of the east wind of reform and opening up, primary and secondary schools, with the help and support of their superiors, have raised funds from various aspects, channels and levels, effectively improving the conditions for running schools. In the 30 years of reform and opening up, all schools have built new school sites or buildings. The school's equipment and facilities, the scale of running a school are improving day by day, the conditions of running a school are improving year by year, and the school is changing with each passing day. With the completion of Xinpu Middle School, the new vocational and technical school is undoubtedly a model. In the past ten years, our county has adopted the methods of optimizing allocation, adapting to local conditions, being scientific and reasonable, and gradually merging a number of primary and secondary schools. There are no dilapidated buildings and dilapidated school buildings in primary and secondary schools in the county, and the conditions for running schools have improved significantly.
Nowadays, in our county, whether in urban areas or rural areas, we see beautiful and clean campuses, magnificent buildings, spacious and bright classrooms, rows of standard new desks, smiling faces full of innocence and hope ... Looking at the changes around us, we sincerely admire: the most beautiful place is the school, and the best environment is the campus.
Second, the teaching mode: from "one word" to quality education
If the resumption of college entrance examination is a breakthrough in education reform, then the more complicated and difficult battle is curriculum reform. An old teacher with 33 years' teaching experience has too many feelings about teaching reform. When talking about the implementation of the new curriculum reform, he said: "The new curriculum reform marks the change of educational ideas and concepts. This transformation contains more warmth and highlights people-oriented. I remember when I first joined the work, teaching was just imparting knowledge. If the class is more detailed, the students can master more. But not now. Besides imparting basic knowledge, we should also cultivate and improve students' abilities in all aspects. "
In recent years, quality education has been mentioned in an increasingly important position. All schools have put forward the goal of student-oriented, student-centered and promoting students' all-round development by mobilizing their initiative and creativity. Paying attention to students' all-round development, respecting students' personality differences and respecting students' personality publicity have become teachers' teaching priorities. Now children have more participation and interaction in the classroom, and the teacher's teaching content is more vivid and interesting, which fully mobilizes children's learning enthusiasm. More and more teachers adopt heuristic education. For a text, the teacher asks questions first, and then asks the students and the teacher to find the answer together. After class, teachers should, like students, rely on online search, library inquiry, discussion with colleagues and other forms, and finally discuss with students in class to find an answer that everyone can agree with. Students' ability has also been exercised and improved in this series of participation activities.
This educational concept and teaching mode are completely different from those of 10 and 20 years ago. At that time, classroom teaching was more of a teacher's "centralized" education. The whole class is listening to the teacher, and the class is boring. After class, the teacher will assign a lot of homework for the students to digest themselves. When it's time for the exam, the students burn the midnight oil to memorize the exam contents. Nowadays, a brand-new education method has completely replaced the "centralized" education in the past, making teaching full of vitality.
While changing classroom teaching methods, schools pay more and more attention to students' extracurricular activities. Homework is no longer the only learning content. More and more activities help to cultivate students' comprehensive quality. The forms of physical education class, music class and art class are increasingly diversified, and various characteristic interest classes provide opportunities for students to cultivate their hobbies.
Third, teaching facilities: from chalk and blackboard to modern multimedia.
A piece of chalk, a blackboard and a textbook are the three teaching AIDS that teachers have followed for decades. Even before 10 years ago, there were teachers writing on the blackboard with chalk. When the whole blackboard is full, they erase it before writing. After a class, there is a layer of white chalk dust on your mouth, hair and clothes, which is normal. At that time, teachers had to deal with chalk dust every day. No one expected that chalk and blackboard would be replaced by slides, projectors and multimedia one day.
Twenty years ago, I used a small blackboard to do application problems and a small card to do math problems. 10 years ago, I took slides to class; Now use computer multimedia to have classes. From chalk and blackboard to slides and tape recorders, to physical projectors and multimedia, more and more modern teaching equipment has entered schools and classrooms in the past 30 years. The modernization of teaching tools has brought unprecedented changes to classroom teaching. We are surprised to find that there are all kinds of teaching AIDS on the computer that we used to ask people to look for everywhere. It used to be necessary to write all the lesson preparation contents on the blackboard bit by bit. Now, you can not only prepare lessons by computer and make beautiful courseware, but also make adjustments in class at any time. This is my deepest feeling.
Fourth, the construction of teachers
Facing the challenges brought by educational reform and modernization, the quality of teachers in our county has been continuously improved, and the continuing education of primary and secondary school teachers has become a hard indicator of the school's annual assessment. Over the past 30 years, the qualified rate of teachers in the county has been continuously improved, the structure of teachers' professional titles has been more reasonable, and the ranks of backbone teachers, famous teachers and principals have been growing. During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, the lifelong learning system for teachers has been gradually established, the continuing education for teachers has been continuously strengthened, and the professional level of teachers has been continuously improved. Among them, "the application of modern educational information technology" is stipulated as a compulsory course for in-service teachers.
Since the reform and opening up, the County Education Bureau (EDB) has set up a teaching and research section, staffed with teaching and research staff according to the disciplines of primary and secondary schools, responsible for teaching business management, education and teaching research, education and teaching guidance, teaching quality monitoring and evaluation, and teachers' professional training. In the county's primary and secondary schools, serving the county's education and teaching. For a long time, the teaching and research work in the county has always been unremitting, and the focus of each stage is very prominent. Attach importance to education and scientific research, and undertake a large number of major national and provincial scientific research projects. In the autumn of 2004, schools at all levels in compulsory education entered the new curriculum, and in the autumn of 2007, all ordinary high schools in the county entered the new curriculum. The Education Bureau organized and carried out teacher training activities with discipline training, experimental training and new curriculum reform training as the main contents, which effectively improved teachers' professional ability; Activities such as general inspection of teaching routine and random inspection of teaching in primary and secondary schools were carried out, which effectively promoted the implementation of teaching routine.
Five, the reform of compulsory education funds guarantee mechanism benefits thousands of households.
After the reform and opening up, great changes have taken place in China's education: the CPC Central Committee attaches great importance to the development of education, and implements a "one-fee system" for students in compulsory education, so that every parent can know fairly well, standardize the order of school fees, reduce the economic burden of students' families, and most families can guarantee the funds for their children to go to school. "Two exemptions and one subsidy" has brought hope to poor families. The scope of "two exemptions and one subsidy" has been gradually expanded and the number of places has increased. The number of students who enjoy a semester grant is the largest, reaching more than 500 yuan. The study and living expenses are all provided by the state and schools, so there is no worries at all. Bring hope to poor families and provide a foundation for future development.
Since the spring semester of 2007, the spring breeze of the reform of the national compulsory education funding guarantee mechanism has blown into the land of Pujiang, and all the tuition and miscellaneous fees of students in the compulsory education stage have been exempted. Since September 2008, textbooks for all compulsory education students in this county have been provided free of charge by the state. As an important livelihood project, the implementation and deepening of the reform of compulsory education funding guarantee mechanism has benefited the broad masses of the people the most. The policy of "farming without paying taxes and going to school without paying fees" by the Party and the government warms people's hearts and greatly reduces the educational burden of farmers, which is praised by the whole people. The reform of compulsory education funds guarantee mechanism has also laid a solid foundation for gradually realizing the overall goal of "integration of urban and rural development" in county education, and effectively promoted the fair, balanced, harmonious and healthy development of county education.
Sixth, the improvement of teachers' treatment.
Besides the great changes in working conditions, the treatment of our people's teachers has also undergone earth-shaking changes. In the 1980s, the monthly salary was only 32.9 yuan. In the 1990s, the results of the reform began to appear in teachers' salaries: from 100 yuan to 200 yuan, and from 200 yuan to 500 yuan, there are basically new changes every year. With the further deepening of the reform of the education system, teachers' salaries have also risen, breaking the bottom line of 800 yuan for the first time, and teachers have become glorious taxpayers, contributing to the modernization of the motherland. 2 1 century, especially in the wage reform in 2005, teachers' salaries broke through the mark of 1000 yuan for the first time, and the state correspondingly revised the threshold of personal income tax, which was raised from 800 yuan to 1600 yuan on March 0, 2008, and from 1600 yuan to 2,000 yuan per month.
Leaders at all levels in our county do practical things and solve difficult problems for the development of education, and always put education in the top priority position, forming a good situation of "the party takes education first, the government takes education as the foundation, the people are proud of teaching, and teachers take teaching as their pleasure". Implementing quality education in an all-round way, deepening education reform and accelerating development in the reform and opening up have achieved remarkable results, especially in team building, standardized management, characteristic moral education, private education and education quality.
"Sometimes I ride the wind and waves, raise my muddy sails and sail in the deep sea." I think this sentence can just evaluate the great progress made by our county in the 30 years of educational reform.
