A Study On The Problems And Countermeasures Of After-School Services In Primary Schools In The Context Of The Double Reduction

Education is the key to a hundred-year plan.Education is a centuries-old matter that concerns the improvement of the quality of the people and the comprehensive strength of the country.With the booming economy,the complex changes in family structure and the inconsistency between the end of school hours and the end of work hours of parents,a series of social problems have emerged,leading to new conflicts and a new demand for after-school services in China.In addition,the introduction of two national education policies,especially the "double reduction" policy,has led more and more scholars to focus on the topic of "after-school services".This paper adopts the literature method,and after a comprehensive review of the research on after-school services,three primary schools in H City,Zhejiang Province,where after-school services are provided,were selected for interviews and questionnaires with managers,teachers and parents.Furthermore,by collating and analyzing the interview data and questionnaire data,the author found that the three primary schools in H City,Zhejiang Province,have achieved initial results in terms of coverage and participation in after-school services and system construction,but at the same time some problems have emerged in other aspects,specifically,the development of after-school services is uneven and a new evaluation system needs to be constructed;the content of after-school services tends to be the same in all schools,the form and structure of implementation is relatively homogeneous,and the monitoring system has yet to be improved;teachers have to be trained to provide after-school services.The system of supervision has yet to be perfected;teachers’ active participation in after-school services is low,and their personal development space is limited;parents’ demand for after-school services is diverse,and effective communication between home and school has not been maintained;teachers’ and parents’ satisfaction and demands for after-school services are not yet unified,and social supervision is not yet in place,and educational synergy has not been truly formed.Based on the above findings,the later paper then uses relevant theories to analyse the causes at five levels: government,school,teacher,family and society.At the teacher level,teachers lack motivation mechanisms and the expectations of different groups are too high,which makes teachers’ autonomy begin to weaken;at the family level,parents’ needs for after-school services are increasingly diverse and there is a lack of strong and effective communication between home and school;at the social level,the utilization rate of social resources is low,educational synergy has not been formed and social supervision has not been initiated,resulting in the unhealthy development of after-school services.In view of the problems arising in the process of after-school services,the author proposes corresponding optimization strategies,namely,the government sub-system should strengthen top-level design and build a new evaluation system for after-school services;the school sub-system should enrich the special content of after-school services,optimize the curriculum structure and improve the supervision mechanism of schools;the teacher sub-system should explore and improve the care and concern system for teachers,implement humane management and appropriately The teacher sub-system should explore and improve the system of care and concern for teachers,implement humane management,and give teachers free and equal space for development;the family sub-system should thoroughly publicize and explain the "double reduction" policy,and promote the establishment of a collaborative education mechanism between families,schools and the community;the social sub-system should integrate the strengths of all parties in society,form a synergy in education,and initiate social supervision to build a "trinity".The social sub-system should integrate the efforts of all parties in society,form a synergy in education,initiate social supervision and build a "trinity" education pattern.
