Eighty-five was a father

Hong Kong's prosperity and development are inseparable from their investment in education.

The Hong Kong government stipulates that children and adolescents between the ages of 6 and 15 must receive six years of primary school and three years of secondary education. To this end, the Government has introduced free education in the nine-year universal basic education. Their Education and Manpower Bureau has stipulated that schools with less than 23 new students in the first grade of primary school should be closed, partly to ensure the quality of education, and more importantly, to ensure that no student drops out.

In terms of teachers, the Hong Kong government has adopted a variety of effective measures and formulated various preferential policies to encourage teachers to teach for life, improve the overall quality and level of teachers, and attract outstanding talents to engage in teaching work, and has achieved remarkable results. The Hong Kong Teachers' Centre was established in '89 to promote teachers' professional development and team spirit, the '94 Council on Professional Conduct in Education ('94) aimed to enhance teachers' professional standards, the Teacher Training and Teachers Advisory Committee (CEQ) aimed to improve teachers' overall teaching and professional standards------ Hong Kong institutionalized teachers' continuing professional development (CPD) and encouraged teachers to receive lifelong education, and teachers were required to participate in 150 hours of CPD activities over a three-year period to enhance teachers' professional quality.

Of course, the Hong Kong government also cares about teachers very much------" Tang Guoqiang carefully described the importance that the Hong Kong government attaches to education, as if he had found an object to talk about, whether it is from the "hardware" or "software", a glimpse of the whole leopard.

"We Wenzhou is a small third-tier city, I know that the current level of local education in Wenzhou, not that I deliberately belittle the education level of my hometown, but on the matter, want to keep up with the international pace on the road of education, it is really a long way to go! My greatest wish is to let my children be admitted to a school comparable to the University of Hong Kong----- receive a better education than I have received, so I left the education department, came out to start my own business------ and persevered for a few years, especially this trip to Hong Kong, I feel more urgent------ maybe when you have children in the future, you will understand this piece of thinking as a father, hehehe-------" Tang Guoqiang said, his eyes looked at the chair in the front seat full of love, and his lovely daughter sat in the front seat.

Zheng Xuanqi stared at Tang Guoqiang, quietly listening to an educator's research views on Hong Kong education; a father gave up the iron job of education for the sake of his children's education, threw himself into the entrepreneurial army, and started from scratch step by step ------ that persistence and perseverance------!

"In 57, Grandpa Mao proposed: 'Our education policy should enable the educated to develop in moral, intellectual, and physical education, and become educated workers with socialist consciousness. Zheng Xuanqi thought of a very realistic problem----- in the next 16th Congress of the Communist Party of China was once again clarified, and even the "quality education" proposed in the next century ------ all-round development of morality, intellect and physique, and was constantly clarified and emphasized, and it was also associated with the moral decline in society more than ten years later, and the social phenomenon of "not being able to support and not daring to support", and said, "What you said should be basically in terms of intellectual education, have you considered moral education?"

In Chinese mainland in '97, the minds of the common people were mainly focused on getting rich, eating and dressing warmly, and getting rich through hard work was still the truth in people's hearts! What kind of social phenomenon of being abducted and deceived and laughing at poverty and not laughing at prostitution, perhaps because the news is not smooth, is rarely heard, and people do not disdain to pollute their ears. In other words, the popular phrase in the post-2010 society is that they are all "living Lei Feng"! Tang Guoqiang is no exception; now he can't imagine the various drawbacks hidden under the beautiful GDP data after the great social and economic development 20 years later, and one of them is that the moral red line has been broken again and again, and it has hit the bottom again!

In fact, as educators, none of us do not know the importance of moral education! However, according to the national conditions of our country and the strength of traditional education and culture, ideology, ethics, etiquette, and honesty, a book of "the beginning of human beings, the nature is good" is enough for us educators to feel at ease and adaptable. It's just that the Chinese people's overly reserved character makes it difficult for some education to make real progress, for example, physiology classes, which are basically brushed aside, and it's not like Japan! When primary school students graduate, can you tell me who doesn't wear a red scarf? Ideological and moral grading is more like a disguised compliment! What's more, we are a socialist country, a nation that has produced many heroes, such as Lei Feng, Lai Ning, and Qiu Shaoyun, and we really don't need to spend too much effort to consider the issue of moral education. ”

Zheng Xuanqi suddenly understood a lot from Tang Guoqiang's words, although he is only a personal idea, but it may also represent the voice of some educators, perhaps this is why more than ten years have repeatedly emphasized quality education, moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor all-round development, but the result is still not a small part of the reason for the supremacy of scores----- the world of idealists, there are too many wishing trees that should be there!

"I believe in Xunzi's 'human nature is evil, and its good is hypocritical', and what should I do if I don't agree with Mencius's 'human nature is good' but want to make people good?" Zheng Xuanqi pretended to be curious and asked.

"Well, knowing is not knowing, not knowing is not knowing, few teenagers of your age would think about this question, this ideological and philosophical question!" Tang Guoqiang was quite surprised by Zheng Xuanqi's question, but this did not make it difficult for him who was a major in education at all, but it made him open the conversation again.

1 hour of softly spoken tirade, during which Zheng Xuanqi asked questions, answered the phone, and expressed his own views from time to time. Unconsciously, two people who are one era apart in age seem to meet like two long-lost friends, and there is an endless amount of words.

"I found a profession in Hong Kong that is not available in the mainland------- Hong Kong social worker. Later, I went to relevant public libraries and social institutions to find out more carefully. In Western countries, where social workers originated, there is an average of one social worker for every 1,000 people. In Hong Kong, there is one social worker for every 600 people, far exceeding the level of developed countries. Today, Hong Kong's social work management model and operation experience are very mature. Most of them are subordinate to various social service agencies, which provide social services under the leadership of the government. Because of their "neutral" status, social workers are more active in dealing with many social problems, they can represent the people, reflect the demands of the people to the government, and can also solve problems for the government and resolve various social conflicts in a silent place. At the same time, there is also a type of volunteer, like our volunteers, who provide services on a pro bono basis and serve a wider range of services than social workers. If we bring in social workers and volunteers in the implementation of ideological and moral education for our students, mainly volunteers (volunteers), supplemented by social workers, to run a well-known training school, and then promote it------ do you think there is any hope, and pry the door of real moral education with a little bit of face!" Zheng Xuanqi really said what he had been preparing for a long time at this time, and took this opportunity to listen to the opinions of their professionals!

"You don't look like a middle school student, you look like people our age. Tang Guoqiang looked at Zheng Xuanqi in a daze, as if he wanted to see through the truth buried under this teenager's skin, stared at it for a while, and said, "Just kidding! But this idea is very novel! There are many difficulties, but it is not impossible to operate, but this kind of thankless task, who wants to do it? Not to mention the energy ------ to lead the area, it is already very difficult to do this point well------- besides, you also said that the profession of social work appears in developed countries in the West, which is a kind of social service organization, but the national conditions of our country determine the uncertainty of its soil survival. At present, the country as a whole is still at the level of developing countries, and in the initial stage of socialism------ according to my most considerable estimate, it will take at least ten years for social workers to appear in our big cities, and even longer in small and medium-sized cities. You know that the promotion of a model often has a trial period and a transition period. The road to Shu is difficult, and it needs to move forward in exploration. ”

"Groping forward, in other words, subtly improving ----- the greatest plasticity in childhood, if education and training (including moral education, of course) are not paid attention to during this period, it will bring irreparable losses to children's later psychological development. Although Zheng Xuanqi agreed with Tang Guoqiang's views and was surprised that Tang Guoqiang's judgment on the development of social work was accurate, he still tried to induce him and said what was in his heart.

"In educational psychology, children's psychological development is susceptible to the influence of environment and education during the process of maturation. Childhood is indeed the most malleable period, and its plasticity decreases with age------" Tang Guoqiang nodded in agreement.
