A week later, the Education Work Conference of Port Africa was held. The meeting was chaired by Shen Sixu. Hua Zhenxing and Manman were also present. Xu Juan, the newly appointed deputy director of the Education Bureau of Africa Port, was also present. This meeting was very grand and important. Even Mayor Locke participated.
Locke had just taken off his title as acting mayor and was officially appointed as the new mayor by the People's Committee of Port Fiso. But most people here knew that it was Ke Mengchao who could really make the final decision.
Ke Mengchao also returned to Fesuo Port on this day. The deep mountains and valleys that seemed far away in the horizon were really like a walk to him, and he could appear at any time when he wanted to come back.
The core issue discussed at the meeting is how to open a public school in Fiso Port? Currently, only primary schools are considered, and mainly only the first grade of primary school.
Shen Sishu first submitted a research report, which focused on the current education situation in Fiso Port and the quality characteristics of most local people. Today's meeting is not to discuss this report, but to directly quote the conclusions of this report.
This report was written by the working group present. The content was clear to everyone, but it was new to Xu Juan.
In line with the principle of considering difficulties as much as possible, the current educational situation in Fiso Port basically treats most people as illiterate, but illiterate people also have their own characteristics.
The local dialect does not have a written language, and the Fisoport Education Commission has no intention of creating a written language for the local dialect, and the dialect itself does not contain many modern words.
Because of the legacy of the colonial period, the official languages of Kilili Country are English and Spanish, but the indigenous residents of Fiso Port basically only know dialect.
In recent years, the public education in Fiso Port has been basically based on English, but the level is poor. Charles is already a rare good student. Many people cannot understand English at all and only master some simple conversations, such as "put Give me the money" and the like.
Because of this, it is completely feasible to implement public education based on Eastern Mandarin, because for the locals, they are learning a new language anyway.
The survey results show that it is easier for locals to learn Dongguan than people from Mizhou and Luobazhou because there are no written and language barriers.
Mizhou and Luobazhou countries use almost all alphabetic scripts, while Dongguo uses symbolic scripts. Therefore, there are certain obstacles when they re-learn Dongguo characters. The language functional area in the brain has been formed, and they need to re-train another language. a way of thinking.
However, the indigenous residents of Fisoport do not have such obstacles, so they learn the Eastern language much faster.
Primary school education starts with language education. It is best to set up a preparatory course before primary school, or a public kindergarten, to allow those children to master simple Dongguan conversations in one to two years.
But now it is obviously too late, so we can only focus on the key point first, which is to spread the first-grade primary school education throughout the city. All children aged six years or older but less than fifteen years old can enroll in school.
Why is the age range so big? Because everyone is at the same level! You can imagine that there will be six-year-old and fourteen-year-old children in the classroom together. There are many derivative problems to be solved, and all details must be considered in advance. .
There were originally ten public schools and one private school in Fiso Port. Now they have all been converted to public schools and expanded, and one new school has been built, that is, twelve schools. Most of the classrooms have been temporarily converted into first-grade classrooms, and other grades have Each school retains a small number of classes to provide education to children who have reached the corresponding level.
First of all, we must prevent school bullying. The original public schools in Porto Fiso were simply preparation camps for gangs. Gangs formed and fights occurred almost every day. Many children even learned to smoke leaves in school.
This phenomenon must be eliminated, especially when the age of students in each class is very different. When arranging seats, follow the principle of rows from front to back according to age.
The school is temporarily under semi-military control. In addition to teachers, two patrol members are assigned to sit in the back of each classroom during class. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be punished. The "Teaching Management Punishment System" has been formulated and passed unanimously at this meeting.
As a digression, the New Alliance People's Liberation Army was developed on the basis of the original Klin District Patrol Team. After the establishment of the New Alliance Army, the establishment of the local patrol team was still retained, which is somewhat similar to the armed police force of the East Kingdom, but there are also differences.
.
The next focus is to solve the problem of teaching content and teaching staff. Judging from the current conditions, this problem is almost unsolvable.
Public education in Fiso Port cannot all be run in the same way as the overseas branch of Huiying School. The cost is too high. Moreover, the overseas branch of Huiying School pays all the expenses for Huanxiang Industrial. Now these twelve schools are run by
Funding is provided by the Municipality of Porto Fiso.
Could it be that if these people sit together in a meeting, something can be done? It’s really been solved!
Teaching content is not a problem. Not only now, but also in the future, from primary school, middle school to university, there will be no shortage of teaching content in all subjects, all majors, and all categories. What is lacking is only teachers and students of the right age.
There is a very special background here. Since the beginning of last year, an epidemic has spread around the world. In some countries, such as East China, the whole country has even started online classes, and a large number of educational resources have been released online.
The Fiso Port Municipal Government has established a special department, mainly in Dongguo, to collect these online coursewares. Various schools and teachers, including various university majors, have various coursewares from different schools, and have established a huge database.
.
These resources are enviable and unimaginably vast accumulation of civilization. If only a small group of people like Fesoport could not have created them even if they were given a hundred years, but now due to the special historical background, in a short time
All collected.
The next key task is to screen and filter out the most concise and essential parts, which are suitable for Fisoport education, and gradually form a complete system in the teaching process.
This system becomes more convenient to refer to later on. It is precisely in the initial stage that the most factors need to be considered, and it is unlikely to be copied unchanged.
For example, if a comprehensive university is established in Port Aiso in the future, we can also refer to the Huiying model and find a university in Dongguk to cooperate in opening an overseas branch.
But now when we are in the first grade of elementary school, although there are ready-made lesson plans for reference, it is basically like drawing on a blank piece of paper. Similar meetings have been held more than once, and today we have to make a decision.
According to the initial discussion plan, primary school education mainly includes four main courses: Chinese, mathematics, ideological and moral character, and natural knowledge, plus three supplementary courses: music, art, and physical education.
Later, it was Ke Mengchao who made the final decision to incorporate ideology, morality and natural knowledge into Chinese classes, and the main subjects became Chinese and mathematics.
This kind of merging is actually not difficult. What the teaching and research department has to do is to make it as natural as possible. The content of ideological education and natural common sense should be regarded as texts in Chinese education, so that children can learn both language and characters. these contents.
In the first semester of the first grade, no other classes are arranged, only Chinese is taught, and the teaching content starts with Charles's ten speeches. This is taking into account the local characteristics of Fiso Port.
Each of Charles's ten speeches is not long. The drafts written by Shen Sishu use commonly used Dongguo characters. They are played repeatedly in the local dialect and Dongguo dialect every night in the Civic Square. They are familiar to the locals, especially the children. I can memorize it.
"I am Charles", "Opportunity is Hope", "Our Forest Zone", "Can't Be Foolish", "Labor Creates the World", "Build a Beautiful Home Together", "Who Are Our Friends", "Unity" It's Power", "Every New Day", "Master of Destiny".
Starting from "I am Charles", we first memorize the text, and then teach it word by word. In fact, we don't know exactly how long it will take to learn it, and we need to summarize the future teaching progress arrangements based on the actual situation.
The minimum requirement is to be able to teach this text in the first semester; the best expectation is to be able to teach all ten texts in the first grade of primary school. After completing the first semester of teaching, the situation of each school should be summarized to determine the formal teaching in the future. schedule.
Although the current core is how to manage the first grade of primary school, the teaching plan cannot only consider the first grade. After these ten texts are completed, the subsequent texts are actually ready.
It was written by the textbook drafting team led by Shen Sishu, and then handed over to Hua Zhenxing for review. Of course, Ke Mengchao finally made the final decision. Twelve articles have been finalized so far.
"What is law", "From natural law to statutory law", "What kind of law do we need", "The meaning of law", "Principles pursued by the judicial system", "The goal of social fairness", "Law and Morality", "The Source of Morality", "Public Order and Social Etiquette", "Integrity of Heart", "Cultivating Good Values", "Bad Habits".
At first glance, this seems to be the content of law, philosophy and sociology. Those who don’t know the situation would think that this is a basic course for undergraduates in some university! In fact, they are elementary school texts, only covering the simplest concepts, and each article is about They are very short articles of about a hundred words.
If you have finished studying these articles, the subsequent texts will introduce the new alliance and introduce some natural knowledge. These are the contents of Chinese education. Primary schools follow a five-year system, and the teaching materials and teaching progress of each grade must be summarized based on practice.
Mathematics, that is, simple arithmetic, will be taught from the second semester of the first grade of primary school, and supplementary courses will be appropriately arranged from the second grade.
Most of the people here have a background in Dongguk education, so they often compared it with Dongguk basic education during discussions at the meeting. Many of them were not educators, so everyone asked Xu Juan, what aspects of Dongguk basic education are worthy of recognition? , which aspects are criticized the most?
The meeting lasted all day, and in the afternoon it entered the free speaking period, and the atmosphere was the most relaxed. Xu Juan didn't say anything else, she just talked about the various complaints about the school from all walks of life and parents. Someone took special notes to study how to Don't repeat the same mistakes.
The situation in Fisoport is different from that in East China. The school is not only a place to learn knowledge, but also a place to help parents take care of their children. There are five classes in the morning, the first class is morning reading, and the next four classes are main classes; there are four classes in the afternoon
, the first two periods are main classes, and the last two periods can be arranged as supplementary classes, games or self-study.
In short, school should be dismissed after parents get off work, and homework should be completed at school as much as possible. This is an arrangement that is in line with the characteristics of Fisoport.
Those who are under the age of 15 and studying in the first grade are very special in history and are called the new batch. Many years later, many people still proudly claim - I am a member of the new batch!
So what should people over the age of fifteen do? The New Alliance has already experienced this - holding night classes!
Referring to the model of the National Literacy Class in Dongguo at that time, and following the principle of individual voluntariness and arrangement by the unit, night school tutoring was conducted. The night school only taught Chinese and arithmetic. In principle, the study period was one year, and outstanding students could take another year of improvement classes.
In the advanced class, you will learn more than a thousand commonly used Dongguo characters, as well as equations and geometry. If you still study well in the advanced class, you can be recommended to study in a technical training school in the future. Of course, the technical training school is still under preparation
middle.
It is now the beginning of March, and the new first-grade primary school is scheduled to start in early September, and there is still half a year of preparation time. With the educational content and teaching plan in place, in this half-year, in addition to expanding the school building, the most important task is to train teachers.
In the short term, it is not necessary for the overall level of the teaching team to be high, as long as they can master the educational content of the first grade of primary school when the school starts. In the following period, the teaching team must continue to learn and always be one step ahead of the students.
After the meeting, all matters were settled, and Hua Zhenxing breathed a sigh of relief, but Manman asked in a low voice: "Xiaohua, do I also want to go to school?"
