I don't have the model of Yanziji and Wuxi Primary School mentioned by Mr. Tao, but I have seen the agricultural technology high school in Fuyu County, which is the model of rural education taught by Mr. Tao.
1993, I studied in an agricultural technology high school. Although I was humble at that time, I mainly practiced life in the countryside, and all subjects were inseparable from the skills of planting and breeding. After class, under the guidance of the teacher, the students learned the knowledge of crop planting and animal husbandry. After many years, I will go back to school as long as I have a little time. I will see the cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum, the rich fruits of yellow peaches, and the fruits and cucumbers in the experimental shed. Every season, vegetables are sometimes brought down, and flowers, fruit trees and vineyards are very attractive.
After several years of development, the school has now established a supporting and high-standard professional practice training base. Among them, experimental field 120 mu, enclosed vineyard 15 mu, orchard 12 mu, flower garden 105 mu, scenic forest 22 mu, farmland shelterbelt 30 mu, greenhouse 1 piece, two steel-framed greenhouses and agrometeorological observation field. Animal husbandry and veterinary specialty has built 100 high-standard demonstration farm and comprehensive breeding farm for dairy cows, as well as epidemic prevention station, breeding station and feed processing plant. There is also feed land 1 10 mu and grassland of 600 mu. The laboratory building is equipped with advanced multimedia classrooms and experimental training rooms for electronics, computers, automotive engineering, accounting, agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry and veterinary science.
At the beginning of the school, agricultural technology high school had only 13 faculty and 46 students. The school building is a few adobe bungalows that have been abandoned for many years, and the facilities and equipment are very simple. At that time, the funding for running a school was very tight, and it was far from the county seat. Compared with other 63 county-run agricultural technology high schools in the province at that time, the foundation was the worst. However, the teachers and students of the whole school are unwilling to lag behind, unite as one, overcome all kinds of unimaginable difficulties, work hard, strive for self-improvement, forge ahead, and dare to be the first. They put forward the slogan of "others walk, we run, and we have to walk for two years a year, not only to catch up, but also to surpass", and began the arduous course of building a school during the day and attending classes at night. All teachers and students have no 8-hour working day, and there are no holidays and sundays. They went to Hetao dozens of miles away to burn firewood in cold weather. Go to pasture to feed the farm for the winter in summer vacation; In late autumn, go down to waist-deep cold water and cut reeds to build a house. In the second year, teachers and students took advantage of the first spring after the establishment of the school to build the school capacity and professional practice base. 59 teachers and students cultivated land, built roads and planted trees day and night, built agricultural experimental fields and flower nurseries, and planted seedlings of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica 1 10,000 plants. Mongolian oak on a 25-mu mound on the west side of the campus. The ditch, forest and road in the campus are integrated, the land becomes square and the campus is basically "garden-oriented". Because the teachers and students created the highest record of planting trees and keeping alive per capita in Fuyu County's history, the school was established as a "green model unit" by the county government.
In order to establish a good image of the school and enhance its social status and attractiveness, the school has seriously carried out education and teaching reform and strived to improve the teaching quality. The school adheres to the direction of serving agriculture, countryside and farmers, and strives to cultivate high-quality talents for local economic development. In view of the urgent need of agricultural production, we should set up corresponding majors, do a good job in the construction of professional practice bases, and build supporting professional practice bases that reach the first-class level in China. And actively introduce some new technologies and varieties, do experiments and demonstrations in the campus base, and then promote them outside the school.
In order to build a team of high-quality teachers, the school adopts various forms, such as sending teachers to other places for training and improving on the job, so that teachers can master both theoretical teaching and practical ability and become compound talents with high added value. At the same time, some well-known experts in animal husbandry, veterinary medicine, agronomy, horticulture, electronics and electrical appliances in the province were hired as part-time teachers, and they signed contracts with Canadian dairy farming experts Watson and Mulan to teach at schools regularly, thus cultivating a high-quality "double-qualified" teacher team combining full-time and part-time work.
The school implements the teaching system of getting rich while learning, so that students can apply some new technologies, new varieties and new information to family production while studying. Students are both students, consumers, producers and wealth creators, and are very popular among students and parents.
In order to enhance the adaptability and advancement of teaching materials, the school strives to do a good job in teaching material reform; The inappropriate parts in the unified textbook were deleted appropriately, and the new technologies, new achievements and new processes urgently needed by local production were compiled into local textbooks in time and applied to teaching and production practice, which achieved good results. The local textbooks compiled by school teachers reach1120,000 words.
In order to promote the organic combination of theory and practice, the school implements the teaching method of synchronizing professional courses with farming hours. What classes should be taught in what season, so that students can practice in the practice base while learning theoretical knowledge, and combine large and small classes. The school also contracted the professional practice base to class students for management, so as to comprehensively improve students' hands-on operation ability and management ability, and enhance students' commodity awareness and market concept. At the same time, the school-running system of combining inside and outside the school was implemented, and a branch school was established in the suburban vegetable professional village. Arrange students to take topics to social research every year, participate in popular science activities on holidays and spread scientific and technological knowledge; Let students study and practice in the off-campus professional practice base, take the products to the market for sale, let students swim in the sea middle school in the market economy, and lay the foundation for their success and career through wind and rain.
The school pays attention to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, so that students with different pursuits can realize their life ideals. On the basis of public courses, according to students' different wishes, hobbies and specialties, a certain number of elective courses are arranged every week, and key teachers are organized to hold special lectures or participate in extracurricular activity groups to satisfy students' desire to choose certain professional knowledge and skills: students who wish to get rich through science and technology learn excellent skills to get rich; Let students who are willing to go to college learn solid cultural and scientific knowledge; Let students who are willing to enter the world in big cities and developed areas learn some necessary knowledge and skills. Thus, the popularity and attractiveness of the school have been greatly enhanced, and a new school-running system of "teaching and educating people, scientific experiments, demonstration services and increasing production and income" has been gradually formed, which has been well received by the national, provincial and municipal education and scientific research departments.
In order to win the support from all walks of life, the school makes full use of various occasions and adopts various ways to publicize the important position and role of agricultural technology high school in developing county economy, and publicize the scientific and technological strength and school-running achievements of the school. All walks of life are moved by the spirit of teachers and students in agricultural technology high school to work hard and serve the society. They not only give strong support to agricultural technology high schools in public opinion, but also lend a helping hand. At the beginning of the school, all social units and individuals donated more than 500 thousand yuan to agricultural technology high school. At the same time, the school applied for a loan from the higher authorities to raise funds to expand and improve the construction of the school's professional base, so that the school's development entered the fast lane.
Teachers and students of agricultural technology high school overcame all kinds of unimaginable difficulties with courage and perseverance, and achieved great success in establishing schools and educating people: the students who have been trained have excellent academic performance, and the students who have returned to their hometowns for farming are well received by the society for their knowledge, skills, management, market awareness and competition awareness, hard-working spirit and service dedication; Students who seek development in other places can quickly become talents in other places; At the same time, a large number of students are admitted to universities with excellent results every year. The teachers and students of the whole school have paid long-term, extraordinary labor and great efforts; Come from behind; Shaped the image of the school; Created the brand of wealthy farmers and high schools; Won the recognition and praise of the national, provincial and municipal education departments.
Leaders of bureaus, committees and offices of agriculture, forestry, water, livestock, machinery and meteorology in the county regard agricultural technology high school as a base for training talents in this industry, provide material help to the school, send professional technicians to give lectures to students, and help to do a good job in the construction of professional practice bases; The main leaders of villages and towns often hold symposiums for students of their own villages and towns in agricultural technology high schools to encourage them to study hard after graduation and serve the construction of their hometown. The people of the county gradually formed the knowledge of * * to send their children to agricultural technology high schools if they want to succeed. Students from all over the province, Jilin Province and Inner Mongolia have also come to Fuyu County Agricultural Technology High School to study. The school has sufficient students, the scale of running a school has expanded rapidly, and its reputation has been greatly improved. God rewards diligence, the school finally completed the ice-breaking trip, and teachers and students began to stride forward on their own broad road.
