The Ministry of education reduced the burden on teachers

Recently, the general office of the CPC Central Committee and the general office of the State Council issued several opinions on reducing the burden on primary and secondary school teachers and further creating a good environment for education and teaching, and put forward 20 practical measures in four aspects for reducing the burden on primary and secondary school teachers. Today, the Ministry of Education held a press conference on "why and how to reduce the burden Focus on what to reduce and who will reduce the burden 'in detail.

At present, due to some historical and institutional reasons, teachers, especially primary and secondary school teachers, have too much extra work burden, there are many items and high frequency of supervision, inspection, evaluation and assessment, and various activities such as investigation, statistics and information collection are overlapped and arranged at will. In addition, some localities and departments often assign tasks to schools and teachers when implementing security and stability, eliminating underworld and evil, creating excellence and evaluating first, which affects the normal education and teaching order of schools, takes up a lot of time and energy of teachers.

Zhang Buhe, director of the Institute of teacher development of the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences, specially conducted field research in 9 provinces and 18 urban areas in the East, central and western regions, conducted a questionnaire survey on primary and secondary school teachers in 250 counties and cities and 1430 schools in 28 provinces, and formed today's "several opinions" after many discussions, rounds of revision and soliciting opinions from many aspects.

Focus on cleaning up the contents irrelevant to education in the four types of matters

The opinions is not only an urgent need to actively respond to the eagerness of grass-roots front-line teachers, but also an urgent need to promote the fair and quality development of education. According to the requirements of the opinions, we will focus on, strictly clean up and standardize the contents irrelevant to education and teaching in four categories: Supervision, inspection, evaluation and assessment, social affairs on campus, filling in relevant statements, and dispatching and borrowing primary and secondary school teachers.

Supervision, inspection and assessment shall be reduced by at least half, and the filling of statements shall be greatly reduced

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Education said that there are specific requirements in the opinions for the four key matters to be reduced. Among them, the supervision, inspection, evaluation and assessment will be reduced by at least 50%, and the filling of various statements will be greatly reduced.

In terms of streamlining the supervision, inspection, evaluation and assessment items, the opinions make it clear that, except for the Ministry of education, other departments shall not set up the supervision, inspection, evaluation and assessment items targeting primary and secondary school teachers. If they really need to be carried out, they shall negotiate with the education department and submit them for approval according to the procedures before they can be implemented.

In terms of evaluation, we should resolutely overcome the formalistic practice of emphasizing leaving traces rather than actual performance.

Ren Youqun, director of the Department of teacher work of the Ministry of Education: it is not allowed to upload screenshots of work scenes or record videos by wechat work group and government app (application) instead of performance work evaluation. It is not allowed to carry out supervision, inspection, evaluation and assessment as soon as the work is arranged.

The Ministry of education reduced the burden on teachers

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Education said that in the near future, the existing supervision, inspection, evaluation and assessment matters involving primary and secondary schools and teachers will be cleaned up, reduced by more than 50% on the existing basis, and the list management system will be implemented for the matters retained after cleaning.

In terms of standardized and simplified filling of various statements, we will make overall arrangements for the filling of various statements to avoid teachers' repeated reporting of data and multiple filling in forms, improve the informatization level of data collection, improve various educational information databases, and strive to collect and use them multiple times at one time, so as to make more information run and less teachers run errands. In addition, education statistics and research will be standardized.

Ren Youqun, director of the Department of teachers' work of the Ministry of Education: in addition to the National Bureau of statistics, other departments must report to the government statistics institutions at the same level for approval and filing to carry out education statistics involving primary and secondary schools and teachers; Research activities for primary and secondary school teachers must be approved and deployed by the education department.

Avoid unnecessary external activities interfering with normal teaching

The Opinions also clearly stipulates the two matters of social affairs entering the campus and the transfer of primary and secondary school teachers, so as to avoid the burden of primary and secondary school teachers caused by unnecessary external activities and interfere with normal education and teaching.

The opinions clearly stipulates the overall planning and standardization of social affairs. To reduce the entry of social affairs into the campus, we will mainly start from six categories: poverty alleviation tasks, major special tasks, Urban Excellence evaluation tasks, street community affairs, education and publicity activities, and compulsory apportionment of irrelevant affairs.

Ren Youqun, director of the Department of teachers' work of the Ministry of Education: for example, we already have similar contents. It's not good for you to superimpose them repeatedly. Some are a comprehensive work in a region, but it's not appropriate to let our teachers and students suspend classes and go out of school to participate.

In principle, the transfer of primary and secondary school teachers shall not exceed half a year

According to the "opinions", we should also reduce the transfer of primary and secondary school teachers. The borrowing behavior will be strictly standardized, and the borrowing period shall not exceed half a year in principle. According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of education, at present, there are formalism problems in organizing teachers to participate in training and learning. Some training takes the form and goes through the motions. The content is divorced from education and teaching and lacks pertinence, wasting a lot of teachers' time. This opinion makes it clear that in addition to the training carried out by the human resources and social security department according to law and regulations, others should be carefully studied and judged, reasonably cancelled, and the same kind of merger should not be pulled together by teachers, and irrelevant training should be apportioned to teachers. In addition, we should optimize the content of training. In terms of training assessment, we should pay attention to adopting a variety of ways to observe teachers' teaching level through multiple dimensions, and we can't test everyone with one paper.

Compaction responsibility supervision reduces the burden and produces practical results

The work of reducing teachers' burden involves many departments and fields. The opinions clearly stipulates that party committees and governments at all levels should fulfill their responsibilities and require a specific list of reducing teachers' burden to ensure that the work of reducing teachers' burden is effective.

The opinions put forward that party committees and governments at all levels should include reducing the burden on primary and secondary school teachers in their important agenda, and strictly control the examination and approval and reporting. The Education Steering Committee of the State Council shall incorporate the work of reducing the burden on primary and secondary school teachers into the supervision of the provincial people's governments in performing their educational duties. Those who fail to implement effectively and implement in place should be seriously held accountable. The supervision results serve as an important reference for the comprehensive assessment, reward and punishment, appointment and removal of local party and government leading groups and relevant leading cadres.

Ren Youqun, director of the Department of teachers' work of the Ministry of Education: the provincial Party committee and the provincial government should shoulder this responsibility, because the list of burden reduction in the last province is determined by the provincial Party committee and the provincial government. I think it is long teeth. After a period of time, we will come back for some supervision and guidance.
