8月22日,教育部公布《小學(xué)生減負(fù)十條規(guī)定》(公開征求意見稿),公開向社會征求意見。陽光入學(xué)、均衡編班、“零起點”教學(xué)、不留作業(yè)等一一寫入。新規(guī)一出,引發(fā)社會熱議。

A draft guidelines document released by the Ministry of Education suggests homework may become a thing of the past for younger students. However, this and other suggestions on alleviating academic burdens have stirred up a debate among experts and teachers.
教育部公布的規(guī)定草案指出家庭作業(yè)對小學(xué)生們來說將成為歷史。然而,這些減負(fù)規(guī)定在專家和教師間引起了熱議。
“減負(fù)”可以表達(dá)為to alleviate academic burdens或to reduce/ease academic pressure?!缎W(xué)生減負(fù)十條規(guī)定》包括教學(xué)(teaching)、考試(examinations)、入學(xué)(enrollment)等多個方面。依據(jù)“減負(fù)十條”規(guī)定,一年級新生入學(xué)后,要從“零起點”(the classes for the beginners)開展教學(xué),一至三年級不舉行任何形式的統(tǒng)一考試(unified tests);今后小學(xué)還將禁止留書面式家庭作業(yè)(written homework),學(xué)校應(yīng)與家長一起組織第二課堂(extracurricular activities),將參觀博物館、圖書館學(xué)習(xí)作為課后作業(yè)(after-school assignments)。
有教授指出,這樣孩子們就有時間進(jìn)行戶外活動(outdoor fitness activities),可以增強(qiáng)體質(zhì),健康成長。但也有家長指出,這樣孩子在參加中考(entrance examinations for high schools)、高考(college entrance examination)時就會面臨更大的負(fù)擔(dān)。專家表示,要等整個教育環(huán)境(education environment)提升后,這些規(guī)定才有可能完全得以實施。
