It is unrealistic for the Ministry of Education to link voluntary service with the college entrance examination.

"China will take volunteer service as an important indicator to evaluate the comprehensive quality of high school students, and students' participation in volunteer service can be used as an important reference factor for students to evaluate and choose colleges and universities." In early July, the Ministry of Education issued the Opinions on Further Promoting Students' Volunteer Service Activities, which was issued at the beginning of the summer vacation in primary and secondary schools. For those busy high school students, can this guidance change their holiday arrangements?

However, the reporter's investigation yesterday found that under the baton of the college entrance examination (forum), candidates are still more willing to spend a lot of time tutoring in the summer vacation, and only less than 10% of high school students participate in voluntary service. In the eyes of senior high school students in Chengdu, voluntary service is "soilless and useless". In view of the shortage of high school students' volunteer service volunteers, the Municipal Education Bureau advocates the establishment of foreign volunteer service bases in schools.

Reporter's investigation:

How to spend the summer vacation? Eighty percent chose to make up classes.

How do most busy high school students spend their summer holidays? How many people are willing to spend their precious holidays on volunteer service?

Yesterday, the reporter selected 10 senior one and senior two students from Chengdu No.7 Middle School, Shishi Middle School, Shude Middle School, Chengwai Middle School and Chengwai Middle School, and 50 students made an investigation. The reporter was surprised to find that this policy did not seem to play much guiding role for students.

Of the 50 senior high school students, only 1 has volunteer service arrangements during the summer vacation, and 40 have make-up classes during the holidays. In addition, 1 1 people expressed the idea of voluntary service, but lacked corresponding channels and methods.

Wang Ming, a senior one student from a high school outside the city, participated in voluntary service during the investigation. He told reporters that in high school, students rarely participate in voluntary service, but it is more popular in universities. He also plans to go to Dujiangyan for two days as a psychological service volunteer with some students from Sichuan University.

Student response:

It is unrealistic to link voluntary service with further education.

For the new regulations in the notice issued by the Ministry of Education a few days ago, high school students generally think it is "unrealistic".

"First of all, the learning task of high school students is too heavy. Secondly, even if there is spare capacity, there is a lack of volunteers and soil! " Chen Min, a senior one student in Chengdu Experimental Foreign Language School, believes that "social service base" is a "scarce resource" for senior high school students. When it comes to volunteer service, people first think of places such as nursing homes and orphanages, so that the media have reported the embarrassment of the same old man being washed several times a day. Most of these places think that high school students' participation in voluntary service is "going through the motions".

Chen Min said that he had organized some members of literary societies to publicize traffic safety knowledge in the community, but as soon as he came into contact with the community, the other party immediately said, "Why bother? Just take the list and stamp it. " Chen Min later learned that the other party was afraid that it would be too much trouble to organize activities, and wanted to directly open a certificate to prove that he had done volunteer service here.

More students think that the proof of voluntary service is just a dead letter, which is too easy to be faked and easily linked to further studies, leading to unfair admission. In addition, there is no ruler to judge the quality and quantity of volunteer service. Therefore, this new regulation is not operable, and its guiding role for students is naturally limited.

Insiders:

Beware of voluntary service becoming a stepping stone.

More middle school teachers believe that the response of students and society to this policy also reflects the difficulty of implementing the new curriculum reform next year.

It is reported that the new curriculum reform will be implemented in Sichuan on 20 10, in which setting up the "comprehensive quality credit system" is the highlight of the new curriculum reform. According to the plan, students must take part in 1 week social practice every academic year and get 2 credits. Three-year middle school students must participate in community service for at least 10 working days and get 2 credits. Research-based learning is a compulsory course for every student, with three years 15 credits. In other words, social practice and voluntary service will really affect candidates' further studies.

In this regard, Yao Wenzhong, an education expert, believes that the new curriculum reform not only needs the change of the internal concept of education, but also needs the support of social forces. At present, there is still contempt for students' social practice and voluntary service in society. Some student volunteers want to come to the door to serve, but they are often rejected by the other party. Some receiving units are afraid of taking responsibility and even more afraid of trouble. Some people even think that students' voluntary service is a show. In order to cope with students, some units have to be closed. To do a good job in student volunteer service, the society, enterprises and institutions should not only extend a warm welcome hand, but also take educating people as their responsibility. At the same time, the education department should also pay attention to guidance in the evaluation mechanism. "We should pay special attention to guiding high school students and tell them that voluntary service is not a stepping stone to college, but a catalyst for a healthy life."

Relevant departments:

Schools in the city will gradually establish counterpart volunteer service bases.

The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Education Bureau said that with the gradual implementation of the new curriculum reform, in the next step, the education department will pay more attention to student volunteer service and promote the establishment of counterpart volunteer service bases. In addition, in the near future, our city will further promote the activity of "holding hands with big hands" to get middle school students to move and further deepen the creation of civilized achievements.

The Communist Youth League Committee also told reporters that as long as citizens aged 14 can sign up as volunteers, high school students can sign up in their own Youth League committees and accept unified dispatch. In addition, at present, the city has established 293 volunteer service stations in various communities and strengthened the management of young volunteers. The follow-up will also provide more volunteer service opportunities for these high school students.
