Talking about the conditions of rural schools 30 years ago, Hou Yixue, the principal of Taohua Primary School in Liuyuan Town, Yicheng District, made an image description with the phrase "black table, earth table, with a mud child lying on it".
"1978, I teach Grade Two in Balitun School of Wangzhuang. At that time, every village had schools, primary schools and junior high schools. As soon as I graduated from high school, I became a private teacher in the village primary school. Teachers attend classes for half a day and go home to farm in the afternoon to earn work points. I remember there were no desks or stools in the school. The teacher took us to the ditch to dig mud, mix some weeds, put newspapers on it, dip some cement, and make our own tables and stools. " Looking back on the past, President Hou has an unforgettable feeling. Active is the nature of boys. At that time, there were no toys, and mud benches and tables became their "toys". On rainy and snowy days, mud tables and benches are inevitably soaked by rain and snow, but students climb up and down regardless, and finally get mud all over their faces. President Hou said that students were most afraid of winter at that time. Although the windows were sealed with white plastic skin or blocked with wheat straw, they could not resist the cold wind at all. In order to resist the cold, students often huddle together unconsciously in class. Recess is the happiest time for students. They huddled in a corner in twos and threes, with their backs against the wall. You squeeze me, I squeeze you to keep warm. "At that time, there was no teaching equipment. The teacher's teaching is just a piece of chalk, a blackboard and a textbook. At that time, it was really hard to attend chemistry class, because there was no laboratory in the school, and doing experiments could only become experiments. " President Hou talked about the teaching scene thirty years ago as if he were in a dream. "On one occasion, in order to satisfy students' curiosity, I rode more than 40 miles to Emei Mountain to borrow some phenolphthalein. Before class, I spray phenolphthalein on a piece of white paper, dry it and bring it to the classroom. Then I sprayed the scarlet letter with a water gun filled with lye, and I was shocked. The students said I could do magic. If I don't find phenolphthalein, then I can only teach this experiment like this: students remember that phenolphthalein will turn red when it meets alkali. Forget about those more complicated experiments. "
Since 2003, Yicheng District has fully implemented a series of policies to benefit the people, such as "Three New Projects", "Three Lights and Three Reforms", "Distance Education Project in Rural Schools" and "Renovation of Dangerous Buildings". In the past five years, the investment in the renovation of school internal facilities in the whole region has reached 654.38+0.8 billion yuan, which is the sum of the first 25 years since the reform and opening up.
"At that time, most of the teachers were private teachers or substitute teachers, and the teachers were obviously insufficient. Often a teacher teaches several classes or interspersed with several grades, and can only offer basic courses such as Chinese, arithmetic and physical education. At that time, I was teaching in Baimiao Primary School, and there were six teachers, five of whom were private teachers. Everyone has taught all the courses in one class. " Li Jingwen, who is similar to a primary school, said with deep feelings.
In recent years, with the progress of society, the teaching staff has been gradually standardized and regularized: the original private teachers and substitute teachers have been transformed into public teachers through continuing education and improving their quality, and college students have been employed or taught in grass-roots schools, which has injected fresh blood into rural schools. The expansion of teachers and the improvement of their quality have promoted the standardization and modernization of teaching. According to Teacher Li, according to the national requirements of "all courses are offered and the class hours are full", nine courses are now offered in rural primary schools. Fortunately, new courses with strong times, such as English, information technology and mental health, which pay attention to the healthy growth of students, have also been included in the curriculum of primary and secondary schools; Exercise is no longer a simple stretching exercise. Campus group dance exercises, recess exercises and eye exercises, which integrate rhythm and song and dance, have entered the classrooms of rural primary and secondary schools and fully implemented the "sunshine sports" movement; Campus network and "rural distance education project" have opened up new channels for rural education. Now, students can share advanced teaching achievements nationwide by downloading online courses and playing them through multimedia.
"1978, I remember it very clearly. At that time, the salary was 5 yuan a month, and the team recorded a labor score. 1988, my salary rose to 270 yuan. In 2004, I became a public teacher. Guess how much I got this year? 2223 yuan! In 30 years, my salary has increased by 445 times! " Teacher Li told us about the salary changes in the past 30 years. He smiled from ear to ear, and his joy was beyond words.
In 2008, rural teachers in Yicheng District realized the same sunshine salary subsidy as urban teachers. The capital increase of rural teachers is carried out simultaneously with that of urban teachers, which is higher than the salary level of local civil servants and is borne by the district finance, so the salary of rural teachers is guaranteed.
"They are a lucky generation!"
Once upon a time, children from poor families could not afford to go to school, so dropping out of school became a common thing. At the beginning of each new semester, teachers and parents will be worried and sad about students who can't afford tuition. Not anymore. In 2007, Yicheng District exempted tuition and miscellaneous fees for rural primary and secondary schools. The state, provinces and cities allocate140,000 yuan of special funds for the compulsory education guarantee mechanism every year. In 2008, the textbook fee was exempted, so that rural children can go to school nearby for free anytime and anywhere. In this regard, similar to the primary school principal Wu Deqin has a deep understanding. In the early 1980s, President Wu was a substitute in his hometown, Baishan West Primary School. "At that time, I remember that there were not many wealthy families in rural areas, and each family had many children. Only a handful of children can finish primary school. At that time, the school also shouldered the task of literacy. As soon as the supervisors meet, they will go door to door to find students to literacy. At that time, it was not that people didn't want to go to school, but that they really couldn't afford it. Don't look at those tuition and fees, they really couldn't afford them at that time, and there were not many people going to school in the village. "
