[See China News on July 5, 2021](See a comprehensive report by Chinese reporter Wen Li) Recently, many places in Mainland ChinaEducation BureauLaunched the so-called “primary and secondarySummer custody service“The policy is that students and teachers must spend the summer vacation in school. Related news has triggered a strong backlash from the people. At present,Beijing、Henan, Ningbo and other places related documents have been issued.
According to Lu media reports, recently, on June 29th, Henan and Beijing, the Education Bureau of Gongyi City, Henan Province issued a document requiring elementary and middle schools in the district to take the initiative to undertake summer after-school service responsibilities. That is to say, students and teachers have to spend the summer at school. Related news sparked heated discussions. Netizens believe that this rule is a change in the cancellation of winter and summer vacations for teachers and students.
Netizens left a message saying that the relevant regulations are really suffocating. Winter and summer vacations are time for rest and life. Fortunately, after a few months of suffering, I have to return to my family and have a good rest. Now I have to be squeezed. Why does the teacher’s salary of several thousand a month have to bear so much pressure? In addition, the children are so tired from school, hoping for the stars, hoping for the moon, and finally looking forward to the winter and summer vacations. Now that they are canceled, they will be cancelled, and they will be closed to school again. Are they not afraid of depression? If things go on like this, there will be more and more psychological problems for students, teachers’ enthusiasm for work, their physical condition is deteriorating, the average life expectancy is getting shorter and shorter, and there are fewer and fewer people applying for teacher training and teachers’ professions. Can the relevant departments afford it?
Some netizens said, “If this is the case, it is better to go to Haidilao to work, there are five insurances and one housing fund, and it is better to pick up waste, saying that the new policy is for the parents, and someone knows exactly for what it is!”, “Use this The way for parents to promote the three-child policy is really enough, and there is no serious illness. I can’t think of this way.”
As the above topics have caused great controversy on the Internet and public opinion rebounded, on July 2, the Education Bureau of Gongyi, Henan issued a message in response that the summer education service is not a cancellation of summer vacation, and the school and parents can choose voluntarily. It is also said that the program is still in the stage of soliciting opinions, and judging from the existing feedback, it has been welcomed by parents.
Regarding the official rhetoric, netizens pointed out that they questioned, “Volunteering, is not voluntary, what is voluntary? Is it because of the assessment related to forced voluntary or voluntary? Is it voluntary for students or parents of students? Even if it is ambiguous, it is explained?” Some netizens pointed out that the Education Bureau is breaking the law, violating the Teachers’ Law and the Labor Law. ”
At the same time, similar news came out successively in Ningbo, Beijing. On July 2, the Beijing Municipal Education Commission also issued a similar message, stating that “During the summer vacation, Beijing’s basic education system will steadily promote the “I do practical things for the masses” practical activities. It is student-oriented and helps students whose families really need it. For a good summer life, the district education committees will organize care services for primary school students from grade one to grade five.” Schools in Beilun District, Ningbo, Zhejiang have also issued notices to parents recently, stating that Beilun District will launch charity summer care services for elementary schools in the whole district this year. Related news still triggered a strong backlash from the people.

According to reports, at present, pilot summer custody in many places across the country has begun. Before this, the Shanghai Communist Youth League Committee, the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission and other units have opened summer care classes for primary school students in the city, which are called summer care services for primary school students. The Wuhan Youth Summer Vacation Community Care Class also started registration on June 30 and officially opened on July 5. At present, Wuhan has opened a total of 193 municipal-level summer community care rooms and 82 district-level summer community care rooms.
And some local education bureaus also clearly stated in their regulations that in order to increase the enthusiasm of faculty and staff to participate in custody services, relevant schools will include the workload of participating in summer custody services, teaching and research innovation, etc. into the evaluation and assessment of faculty work.
In addition, some netizens disclosed that the Education Bureau also used official language to remind them in a tactful way: “For the sound development of education, I believe that most teachers will have this awareness and responsibility, and take the initiative to participate in this work.” In response, netizens were angry. Critic: “The typical Chinese “voluntary”, what age is it, or the thinking of prostitution, it is really too cheap!”

In response to the aforementioned news, the Weibo account “Shenzhen Lawyer He Mingfeng” issued a message questioning, “Does the Local Education Bureau have the right to cancel the rights of students and teachers for winter and summer vacations?” He pointed out that China’s “Teacher Law” stipulates that teachers have the right to receive salary and remuneration on time , Enjoying the welfare benefits stipulated by the state and the paid vacation during the winter and summer vacations. It is pointed out that no local education bureau has the right to cancel, otherwise it is an abuse of power.
He Mingfeng said: “Of course, the document can be changed to a vest and let parents and teachers choose voluntarily. However, are teachers and the Education Bureau an equal subject? Faced with managing their own Education Bureau, do ordinary teachers have room for bargaining? Have the courage to refuse Is it related to rights?” He said that although the combination of school education, social education and family education has been emphasized, even the winter and summer vacations for students have been cancelled. What about family education and social education?
He Mingfeng pointed out that children are not animals. First of all, children are living people and need emotional communication and emotional comfort. Parents’ company is definitely not a substitute for schools and teachers. Another point is that teachers also have families and children to take care of. They work more than ten hours a day and are physically and mentally exhausted. , Now that the statutory winter and summer vacations are cancelled, is the teacher uncomfortable?
