The primary school age deadline may no longer be limited to August 31!

A few days ago, the General Office of the Ministry of Education issued the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in Enrollment for Compulsory Education in 2017". It is explicitly mentioned that the deadline for birth of first-year children in primary school is determined by the provincial education administrative department in accordance with legal provisions and actual conditions.

In other words, August 31 may no longer be the deadline for primary school admission.

Concern: Primary school enrollment age is determined by each province

In the past, there was a problem that all mothers were guilty of: the education department stipulated that children who were 6 years old before August 31 could go to elementary school, and the date of birth would not work one day later! Therefore, mothers are most afraid of giving birth to Virgo (born August 23 to September 22) baby, and some even rushed to caesarean section before September 1, fearing that the baby will study for one year at night.

So, will this document of the Ministry of Education change this situation?

Parents have different views

A stone has stirred up thousands of waves. Although there are no clear statements and new policies in the provinces, parents are already paying high attention to this.

"It is the happiest year to go to school one year later."

Ms. Cai’s daughter, Han Han, is currently attending Huajing Primary School. Since her child was born in October 2006, Han Han was a year later than a few friends born in the same year. She read a year more kindergarten, nearly 7 years old. When reading the first grade.

Nowadays, for the topic that the cut-off age may change in the first grade, she believes that no matter whether the deadline is set before September 1 or before December 31, “there will be parents entangled and dissatisfied”. But from the inside, after the child really went to elementary school, she felt that the pressures of homework and exams came one after another. "As far as the current situation of primary school students is concerned, the children who came out after August 31 will go to school one year later. In fact, it is justified. The happiest year.

"December 31, more reasonable"

Ms. Lin’s daughter is sweet in grade 5. Because the daughter was born in early October, it was a good time to study for the children one year earlier.

Sweet was born in early October 2005, and in May 2011, Ms. Lin faced the question of whether her child enrolled in the first grade. If you want to report to a public primary school near your home, your child is under 7 years old and can't report it.

If you must read, choose a private primary school for one year and then transfer to the public office. "If you spend money on reading for a year, you have to inquire about it. The tuition fee is more than 10,000 yuan." Ms. Lin said that after one year of study, it will be transferred to the public office, and the procedures are complicated. However, if she does not read, she feels that she has "concerned that she is going to school one year later than the children of the same year. It is very disadvantageous."

After tangling for more than half a month, after many inquiries and attempts, she finally gave up and chose to let the children go to kindergarten for a year.

In September 2012, Sweet signed up for a book. In the past few years, Ms. Lin has been deeply touched. The children are not "study". On weekdays, most of the time they need parental supervision and counseling. Once a certain period of relaxation is relaxed, the children's academic performance will decline. Now recalling the decision to go to school one year later, Ms. Lin feels very fortunate. "If you go to school early, it is hard to imagine how your child can learn to keep up!"

Now, for the new notice from the Ministry of Education, her opinion is that it supports the relaxation of the deadline. "December 31, it is more reasonable, so that children born in the same year can go to school in the same year.

"No matter what time, there are people who are dissatisfied."

Ms. Wu’s child is only over 1 year old, but she is also paying close attention to the age of school. “There are parents who say that 1231 is good, but my daughter is in January. It’s not a few days. What should I do? I don’t want to go to school one year later.”

Ms. Wu believes that 831 is an iron law that has been maintained for many years, and parents have long been used to it. Now that this iron law has the possibility of loosening, this is a good thing. But how is it determined? When is the deadline? It’s hard to adjust. “No matter what time, no one is dissatisfied, or it’s not changed. Everyone can accept it.”

"Probability of maintaining the original status"

Ms. Liu, a prospective mother, is also very concerned about this. She feels that although the Ministry of Education has given the general direction to give the provinces a degree of freedom of choice, it has also made it possible to loosen the deadline for attending the first grade, but it is estimated that it is difficult in the short term. Give a clear statement, "the possibility of maintaining the status quo is great."

"With the advent of the second child era, the degree is getting more and more tense. If you want to change, the situation is very big. The relevant departments must conduct a thorough investigation. What is the age of the school-age children? What is the future? Is the school enough? Hardware software How? The number and quality of teachers, etc., all of which must be considered and arranged, not to change.

Teacher's opinion: does not support adjustment

"Children's age of reading, can't be early."

Teacher Xiao (a teacher from a primary school in Guangzhou Tianhe): 831 is a good time. It is recommended not to adjust.

In the past, children were 7 years old to go to school. In comparison, today's children are 6 years old and first grade, and it has been an early year.

I have brought many first-grade grades. The personal feeling is that there are certain gaps in the degree of acceptance and ability of knowledge in the same class. For example, children born at the end of August of the same year have a wide gap compared with children in January and February. Some children are young, have poor ability to accept, and can't keep up with learning. It is a big blow to personal confidence. For these children, the teacher had to counsel and open a small stove.

In addition, from the perspective of self-care ability, some children are too young to go to school, and there will be behaviors such as diaper pants. That is to say, teachers not only have to take classes, teach knowledge, but also invest in life care, regardless of Whether it is for children or teachers, it brings a lot of pressure.

My child was born in October. I didn't try to get him to study a year earlier, but I was only 7 years old when I went to school. It is very suitable to read the first grade at this age. His ability to accept is stronger than that of many students. He never has to worry about learning and he is very confident. Therefore, I think it is still necessary to follow the natural laws of the child's physical and mental development. If you really want to adjust to 1231, the disadvantages are greater than the benefits, the age of children reading, can not be advanced.

"Does not support adjustment until December 31"

Teacher of the first grade group of a primary school: The teachers of the first grade group of the primary school have the same attitude, do not support the change, and do not support the adjustment to December 31.

The teachers believe that the entrance time will be pushed forward, and the child's physical and psychological conditions are not ready. "The systematic study of the first grade is more difficult for children under 6 years of age, whether it is from holding a pen. In terms of concentration, imitation, understanding, etc., “it is not suitable for entering the age of advance”.

"Before August 31, you must be 6 years old to enter school"

Where does the rule come from?

Let's first take a look at the Ministry of Education's "Notice on Doing a Good Job in Enrollment for Compulsory Education in 2017":

Compulsory education is an education that all school-age children and adolescents must receive in a unified manner.

The deadline for birth of the first-year primary school children is determined by the provincial education administrative department in accordance with legal provisions and actual conditions.

Students who are highly concerned about the education of social training institutions such as “private school” and “reading class” should apply to the county-level education department for approval if they need to slow down due to physical health and other reasons. If you are slow to learn, you must not study at home to replace the compulsory education implemented by the state.

In fact, the relevant provisions on the age and age of school-age children and adolescents to receive compulsory education are already stipulated in the Compulsory Education Law. However, it is still relatively rare to say “the date of birth of the first-grade children in primary school”.

Let us first sort out how the age and age of school-age children and adolescents receive compulsory education are prescribed:

The Compulsory Education Law of the People's Republic of China (implemented in 1986, revised in 2015)

All children who are 6 years of age, regardless of gender, ethnicity or ethnicity, should enter the school to receive compulsory education for a specified number of years. Areas that do not have the conditions can be postponed until 7 years of age.

"Implementation Rules for the Compulsory Education Law of the People's Republic of China" (established in accordance with the Compulsory Education Law, implemented in 1992)

The age and age of school-age children and adolescents receiving compulsory education, as well as the school age that needs to be extended due to slow learning or other special circumstances, shall be determined by the provincial people's government in accordance with the provisions of the Compulsory Education Law and the actual situation in the region. The age of enrollment and the age at school for blind, deaf, and mentally handicapped children and adolescents may be appropriately relaxed.
