Value and Development Path of After-school Education against the Backdrop of"Double Reduction"Policy
China's education is now in a critical period of improving both its quality and efficiency,and transitioning from high-speed development to an educational powerhouse.It is necessary to solve the difficulties of high-quality development of education.The"double reduction"policy has brought new opportunities and challenges to after-school education.As an important part of the overall education landscape,after-school education,is a major breakthrough for the high-quality development of education,which is known for its openness,inclusiveness and cohesion in practices,thus playing an irreplaceable role in the reconstruction of the education ecosystem.It is thereby necessary to re-examine the value and role of after-school education to form a broad consensus,so as to promote the new development of after-school education in the overall education landscape.To be more specific,we should adhere to the principle of giving top priority to moral education,stick to the fundamental task of cultivating students with morality,and integrate socialist core values into the entire process of after-school education.We should insist on the child-centered education,strengthen their comprehensive quality education,enhance children's self-service and practical capabilities,and promote their all-round development.We should reinforce the organic connection between after-school education and family and school education,and create a national education system that encourages collaborative education among families,schools,and communities.
