United Kingdom 10-year education declaration: end of the factory-school _ Li ping Pavilion

United Kingdom's public schools, many have turned to the "factory school", should give the public schools as a private school that autonomy, "examination and education" as a "comprehensive education". This is in the middle of March this year, the United Kingdom's most famous Presidents of Wellington College (Wellington College) President Anthony · Heselton (AnthonySeldon) in its report the end of the factory school: 2010-2020 education Declaration. Set in a prestigious school principals, famous historian, Tory important think tank of Heselton, sure enough, the word amazing media medias a Heselton this affected by policy studies commissioned by the report. -United Kingdom general election battle with the smugglers, this report is on the Labor Party 13 years of relentless attack on educational policy. Heselton, labour, education investment in unprecedented growth has not brought the improvements in primary and secondary education because centralized monitoring of "stifling" type. "The results — at least from paper to see — is increased. But at the price? we school culture of young people are often unable to live independent, successful life. Through a tightly controlled by the State and the monitoring of the system, and shipments of lack of motivation of the students were processing factory. " Comprehensive education target lost Heselton thinks:" as to the people make good sense, have created and valuable life preparedness, in areas of public life in no more important than education. "Schools should extend students ' in-school time for students to benefit from the" comprehensive education (holisticeducation) ". Public schools should like United Kingdom's public schools (private school) that provides students with sports, culture, leadership training, and special courses. He also said that many similar problem also occurs in the University. "In the University, students must also meet the lifeless test machine, the original should be full of creative teaching that is located in the directive, give way to pass the correct answers and is approved. Increasingly lost its higher education to the students a comprehensive educational mission, students of the comprehensive education of lower quality. " To let" joy, gratitude and encouragement of "back to school, Heselton in the report to improve the United Kingdom public schools presented 20 proposals, calls for all public schools really independent status, so that they have a statutory autonomy, according to their own will select students to choose courses and examinations. Heselton also called on the students actively learning, let the experiment back to conventional science classroom. The school teaches the "examination into the factory " Heselton, primary and secondary schools for the results of excessive attention to could not provide children with a good education, the culprit is the result-oriented and taught in schools "(teaching to thetest)" school ranking system. Since 1988, the "national programme implementation" of the "rigidity (rigid)," lead teachers to most of the time used in the "output" knowledge rather than to inspire students. Due to the lack of academic depth and complexity, public school trained so many students have no independent thinking, lack of personal life skills, almost like a "trained robot". Schools are becoming increasingly large, growing dehumanization, and more to the exam. "By 2010, far too many public schools have become a factory. "Heselton, in the end the factory school: 2010-2020 education declaration wrote that" the future of the world does not need boxes only superficial academic ability and academic knowledge, only in a closed environment examination ruminant young men and women. " " To the beginning of the 21st century, the factory school model has largely been fully formed. "Heselton in briefly reviewed the history of public schools, said that" children in three or four years into the nursery, in 16-18-year-old period left school. Schools for children prepared a production line has been ringing in a series of lessons, a class a class to a different place in the factory for processing, after 11 years or more years after the final exam, get personal and school career. " " Ownership and management of the factory are among the top-down tight control of government institutions, and their implications for any transaction in the school gave the instructions. This is the (mechanized production of) Ford-crazy play to the vertex. " Achievements behind over the past 20 years, the United Kingdom students of GCSE and A-level (equivalent to high school and college entrance examination) performance improved. But it seems that Dr Heselton, one year one year to improve performance is the expansion of the "score", and not because students learn better. He pointed out that in the 2000-2006 international education evaluation, United Kingdom students in mathematics, science and literacy achievement rankings drop, while at the same stage, school test scores. Dr. Heselton United Kingdom industry Federation also cited a study to confirm that the last half of the enterprises on secondary school graduates in mathematics, and reading and writing are not satisfied with the level. While the University found that secondary school final products is only for academic courses cannot be independent thinking robots. Also, many top universities, also found that the difficult score from A-level candidates in the selection of the most talented students. "A-levels failed to put those truly intellectual superiority of students and those who are fully trained students. ”Heselton said, "it's A 2009 A-level quiz 26.7%, scores of students than top universities prepare for them. " , Of course, not all schools are bad, and some schools have excellent teachers and diligent student, in difficult conditions and achieved remarkable results. 20 recommendations Heselton Dr. reform United Kingdom public school system of 20 recommendations included in the 5 years that all schools have statutory autonomy, as long as they can prove that they operate independently. This will enable the principals have the scale on the courses, schools, admission procedures, disciplinary policy, staff working hours of autonomy. Heselton said: "the present examination system has collapsed, so that students, teachers, universities and employers were disappointed. England and Wales A-level and GCSE should be abolished. "He suggested that the Government should allow all schools select other examination system, including the international diploma examinations, not subject to government control of the other countries of the examination system. Heselton also recommends that schools should be free to set their own disciplinary management system for bad behavior to adopt zero tolerance regime. You only need to backward school supervision. Students of more than 600 schools should be broken down, just like the College's house, with its own Vice President. For educational institutions should conduct a thorough reorganization and "downsizing", the school became associate autonomous management bodies. The labour party refuted United Kingdom Minister for primary and secondary education · Vernon cocir criticism of selton were repelled. "We do not accept on public schools so description. "He said," we set high academic standards, this is independent of any principal or school parents expect exactly the same. " " Status of primary and secondary schools in 13 years ago was bad, so we take first-down tough measures to reverse this deep-rooted education failure is correct. It is effective, test scores improve, good and outstanding schools than ever before, and the poor are less than to school. " However Vernon also says that now is the turn around a good adjustment of the Labour Government initiatives to improve academic standards. Reform to the most successful principals and teachers great DOF, but weak in school, you will not hesitate to intervene. (Lee compilation)
