Expansion materials: the benefits of expanding schools
First, reduce the burden of education, ease the anxiety of parents and children, and reduce excessive educational pressure.
Although the policy of "Double Health" has lightened the burden of parents and children to some extent, it only depends on the scores of the senior high school entrance examination to determine the students' whereabouts, but it has plunged parents and children into endless competition. In order to get their children into high school, parents spend a lot of money to attend various training classes and cram schools from the third and fourth grade of primary school, which not only increases the financial burden of families, but also makes children lose their childhood happiness and freedom.
Second, promote the balanced distribution of educational resources.
At present, high-quality education resources are mainly concentrated in first-tier cities and developed areas, while the level of school education in rural and underdeveloped areas is relatively low. By expanding ordinary high schools, especially those in backward areas, more high-quality educational resources can be introduced, the education level in these areas can be improved, the gap between urban and rural education can be narrowed, and more rural children can enjoy high-quality educational resources and have more upward channels.
Third, promote gender equality.
The early diversion of senior high school entrance examination has a great influence on boys, because boys' brain development is slow, especially their language and logic ability, which is later than girls'. If boys are diverted at the critical stage of development, they may miss the opportunity to receive higher education.
According to the research, after 13 years old, the modular development of boys' brains increased significantly, and the brains began to be optimized and reorganized. Therefore, if boys can receive better education in senior high school, their development potential will be better brought into play and more talents will be trained for the country.
Generally speaking, by expanding ordinary senior high schools, the educational burden can be reduced, the anxiety of parents and children can be alleviated, and the balanced distribution of educational resources can be promoted, especially in rural areas and underdeveloped areas, which can provide more upward channels for children of farmers, promote gender equity and give boys more opportunities to receive higher education. This will help to improve the education level and talent quality of the whole society and promote the sustainable development of society.
