The Realistic Dilemma and Solutions of Policy Implementation of After-School Service in Rural Schools in China—A Qualitative Analysis Based on Interviews with Primary and Secondary School Teachers in Henan Province
Teachers'individual understanding and proactive practice of after-school service policies are key to ensuring ef-fective policy implementation.Through a qualitative study of the teachers from 10 rural primary and secondary schools in Henan Province,this research has found that they tend to face such dilemmas as vague policy standards,shifting responsibilities,fixed student role spillover,and multiple institutional rule violations.To tackle these dilemmas,policies should be concretized,teach-ers should be given a voice in policy discourse,responsibility boundaries should be clarified to construct a collaborative service community with multiple stakeholders;role boundaries should be delineated to enhance students'sense of role identity;and de-tailed systems should be formulated to create a free yet orderly service environment.
