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.
教育部公布的规定草案指出家庭作业对小学生们来说将成为历史。然而,这些减负规定在专家和教师间引起了热议。
“减负”可以表达为to alleviate academic burdens或to reduce/ease academic pressure。《小学生减负十条规定》包括教学(teaching)、考试(examinations)、入学(enrollment)等多个方面。依据“减负十条”规定,一年级新生入学后,要从“零起点”(the classes for the beginners)开展教学,一至三年级不举行任何形式的统一考试(unified tests);今后小学还将禁止留书面式家庭作业(written homework),学校应与家长一起组织第二课堂(extracurricular activities),将参观博物馆、图书馆学习作为课后作业(after-school assignments)。
有教授指出,这样孩子们就有时间进行户外活动(outdoor fitness activities),可以增强体质,健康成长。但也有家长指出,这样孩子在参加中考(entrance examinations for high schools)、高考(college entrance examination)时就会面临更大的负担。专家表示,要等整个教育环境(education environment)提升后,这些规定才有可能完全得以实施。
