The Xiamen Experimental Primary School next to Xiamen Zhongshan Park is the school that many parents of Xiamen students yearn for. One of them is Yang Yanmei, a mother of two who hopes education will pave the way for her children to live better lives than the previous generation.
However, Yang Yanmei's child and the experimental primary school are two parallel lines - the real primary school is in the central urban area of Siming District on Xiamen Island, while Yang Yanmei and her children live in Shantou Village, Pubian Community, Xiang'an District, off the island.
At the end of 2018, these two parallel lines suddenly intersected. At that time, the experimental primary school built a campus in Xiang'an. It is located in the east of Shicuo in Xiang'an District and west of Pubian Village. It is near Yang Yanmei's house. You can get there in two or three minutes.
Yang Yanmei said in an interview a few days ago, "Who said that the pie doesn't fall from the sky?" Xiamen has implemented a new round of "famous schools across the island", requiring famous schools on the island to build campuses outside the island, and the experimental primary school is one of them. "Cross-Island of Famous Schools" is a component of Xiamen's cross-island development strategy, which is ultimately for the quality and balance of education.
In 2021, Shixiao Xiang'an Campus will be put into use, covering an area of 58 acres. On September 1 of that year, the first batch of 160 first-year primary school students were welcomed, including Yang Yanmei's youngest daughter Guo Zhiman.
What is different from the cooperation in running schools in the past is that this round of "famous school cross-island" action requires famous schools to set up campuses outside the island to be "personal", that is, another campus of a school, which is equivalent to "airborne" outside the island. prestigious school. In the first year of operation, Xiamen Shijiazhuang Primary School sent 11 teachers, including a number of city-level subject leaders and key teachers, known as the "luxury lineup". He Baoqun, the principal of Shiji Primary School, said that since we shoulder the responsibility of radiating high-quality resources to the outside world, we must do it with sincerity.
For a famous school like Shixiao, the pressure to send this lineup of teachers to Xiang'an campus is not small. However, He Baoqun believes that Xiang'an campus is starting from scratch. First of all, there must be good teachers and only backbones. Only when the teacher is in the past can the new school be motivated. The school also uses the only school bus as a commuter bus for teachers in Xiang'an Campus, and travels to and from the two campuses every day.
However, Yang Yanmei admitted that she gradually felt that the government's "famous schools across the island" were very good when she saw the changes after her daughter entered school.
Yang Yanmei has two children. Compared with the older child, she clearly feels Xiao Zhiman's changes since she went to primary school. She said that when her daughter was in kindergarten, the teacher once commented: "Ask her three questions, and she may not answer a word." However, after she entered the real primary school, she found that her daughter became more and more "speakable" and generous. .
Yang Yanmei believes that this is because real children give children a lot of opportunities to express themselves and train timid children. Moreover, she found that this famous school has many activities, such as science and technology festivals, art festivals, sports festivals, etc. The teacher told her that the school hopes that students will find their own interests in these colorful activities. Xiao Zhiman finally found her interest. In the school's after-school service, she chose to apply for painting.
One year since the establishment of Xiaoxiang'an Campus, Yang Yanmei said that her deepest feeling is that the villagers have "earned" it.
Yang Yanmei is one of the parents outside the island who enjoys the educational dividend of "Cross-Island of Famous Schools" - this round of "Cross-Island of Famous Schools" action plan is coming to an end. The junior and senior departments of Xiang'an Campus of Middle School, Jimei Campus of Xiamen Foreign Language School, and Xiang'an Campus of Science and Technology Middle School have been put into use.
The Municipal Education Bureau said that the development of famous schools across the island, Xiamen has achieved a new height of balanced development of education.
【Reporter's Notes】
The future of education in and out of the island can be balanced
In the past year, the changes brought by famous schools across the island to students and the nearby educational ecology, Xiaoxiang'an Campus is not a uniqueexample. At the end of August, the 31st National Middle School Biology Olympiad was finalized. Two students from Xiamen No. 1 Middle School won the national silver medal. One of the students, Duan Yaotian, came from the Haicang campus of Xiamen No. 1 Middle School opened four years ago.
Famous schools run across the island, can they create new famous schools? Duan Yaotian is the answer. Moreover, as time goes by, more Duan Yaotian will appear.
Of course, the change of individuals is only one aspect, and the more important thing is the group effect - people hope that the airborne famous schools will bring catfish effect : The surrounding schools will see different teaching styles and different management methods of famous schools. Touch, there will be catch-up consciousness.
Of course, it is too early to talk about the balanced realization of education on and off the island, and it takes time and educational wisdom.
For example, although the off-island campus of a famous school needs to transplant the culture of the school headquarters, it cannot be copied. After all, the "soil" in which the school is rooted is different; Teachers will rotate among different schools, and the distribution of educational resources will be more balanced.
The future is promising: the distribution of educational resources will be more balanced, people will not need to focus on a certain school, and the anxiety of students and parents will be alleviated.

Chen Qianrong, the vice principal of Xiamen Experimental Primary School, was sent to Shixiao Xiang'an Campus to open up "territory". She began to shuttle between the two campuses every day - at 6:40 in the morning, she departed from her home and took the school bus that departed from the headquarters of Shixiao School at 7:00, and arrived at Xiang'an Campus at 8:00; Service, she set off from Xiang'an campus and arrived home at 20:00.
For Xiamen Education, Chen Qianrong's road to work every day is a road of hope -- a road of hope for a balanced education inside and outside the island. People hope to move the famous school "authentically" outside the island through "famous schools across the island". .
Chen Qianrong and her colleagues are well aware of this mission. In the past year, they worked hard to "paint" on this white paper on the Xiang'an campus. Chen Qianrong sometimes thinks that she is like an "ant moving house", "moving" the "magic weapon" of the real small to the Xiang'an campus little by little. For example, the well-known colorful education system of Shiji Primary School - "six festivals and one meeting", "themed team meeting", "project-based curriculum", "flag raising ceremony", "morning and afternoon meeting theme education" and important festival and holiday theme education, etc. Yes, the Xiang'an campus is also carried out at the same frequency.
Shixiao Xiang'an campus and headquarters also have "five integrations" management models, namely cultural construction, management team, teacher development, daily training, academic leadership integration, and "three unified" operation models, namely unified Teacher deployment, unified resource allocation, and unified education and teaching management. Chen Qianrong said that despite the spatial distance, teacher training and major conferences of the two campuses can all be in the same venue through information technology. After get off work every Wednesday, young teachers from Xiang'an campus will return to the main campus to carry out together. Post training activities.
Chen Qianrong said that the Xiang'an campus opened in September last year. This year, the program for the New Year's Day performance of the elementary school has already been contributed by the Xiang'an campus. The two campuses "sing a song together" through the Internet.
Of course, it is not enough to copy and paste a famous school across the island. Chen Qianrong said that the difference between the source of students and the school environment also requires us to make adjustments. For example, according to the characteristics of Xiang'an children, the school strives to create more opportunities and platforms for children to appear. Chen Qianrong transformed an area of the overhead floor of Xiang'an campus into a display area for student works.
Over the past year, the originally empty campus of Shixiao Xiang'an Campus has been "different". However, Chen Qianrong believes that what is gratifying is the change of students. They quickly fade away from their shyness and become confident, generous and lively.
Chen Qianrong also brought the teacher to XiangxiangSchools affiliated to An District "visited" to communicate. She said that for real primary schools, running schools across the island also opened another window.
