It’s hard to get into high school and college? The admission rate of senior high school entrance examination in Shenzhen is less than 50%.

  Shenzhen, China Broadcasting Network, July 28 (Reporter Liu Yuchen) According to the report of China Voice "News Horizon" of the Central Radio and Television General Station, recently, with the announcement of the marking results of the senior high school entrance examination scores in Shenzhen, many citizens expressed anxiety about the phenomenon that the admission rate of public ordinary high schools in Shenzhen has fallen again. According to local media reports, 85,000 people in Shenzhen participated in the senior high school entrance examination this year; But at the same time, the city’s public ordinary high schools only provide more than 35,000 degrees. That is to say, at least on paper, only two out of every five junior high school students who come to Shenzhen for exams can go to public ordinary high schools. For a time, the question of "it is difficult to get into college in Shenzhen" has resurfaced.

  As the frontier of reform and opening-up, Shenzhen’s great economic development has attracted worldwide attention. At the same time, however, the relatively weak basic resources such as education have also attracted repeated attention. Is Shenzhen’s educational resources in debt as much as public opinion fears? Where is the crux of the problem?

  There are 85,000 candidates, less than 40,000 public advanced degrees. The huge digital gap stings the hearts of Shenzhen senior high school entrance examination candidates and parents, and also worries Chen Jinhua, a representative of Shenzhen Municipal People’s Congress. As early as this year, during the two sessions in Shenzhen, at least 23 representatives of Shenzhen Municipal People’s Congress, including Cui Xuehong and Chen Jinhua, jointly submitted "Suggestions on Accelerating the Construction of High School Degree" and "Suggestions on Accelerating the Land Use Planning of High School and Increasing High School Degree", collectively calling on the government to increase the supply of high school degree. According to public information, there are currently 120 legal high school sites in Shenzhen, but Chen Jinhua said that according to the reply of Shenzhen Education Bureau, many sites planned during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period have not yet been implemented.

  Chen Jinhua: We know that there are 120 high school land in Shenzhen, but there is no way to implement 16 land. It can only be built in half, and half of it has not been completed yet. The Education Bureau said that there is nothing to do and it cannot be done. What we learned is that nothing has been completed during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period.

  Reporter: That is to say, the planned land has not been implemented during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period? Now we are all in the 13th Five-Year Plan.

  Chen Jinhua: Yes, the decline is over. In fact, the crux of these problems does not lie in the Education Bureau. First, the land planned at that time was also misappropriated. In addition, there are already buildings on the ground, and it is very difficult to remove them.

  High land price, complicated ownership, time-consuming demolition and difficult land preparation … … This is a difficult problem that will be encountered in the process of urban renewal. Regarding the objective difficulties, Chen Jinhua said that it is understandable, but it is not completely acceptable. Because in her view, leaving the limited land space and work force to what career is not only a test of ability, but also a test of determination. "Our minimum construction standard is 50 mu of land. Now, 5,000 mu of 500 mu of university land can be solved in Shenzhen. We asked the district governments to reserve industrial land, saying that they would dismantle it and reserve it, but 50 mu of high school land told me that there was no way to land. I think this is a problem of determination!"

  In addition to thinking that the implementation of the planned land is not satisfactory, Chen Jinhua also said that in recent years, Shenzhen has increased the introduction of talents, lowered the threshold for settlement, and brought talent competitiveness to urban development. At the same time, it did not adjust the supporting planning in a timely and forward-looking manner, which also made the educational resources that were not well-off even more stretched.

  The data shows that the number of applicants for the senior high school entrance examination in Shenzhen increased by more than 10,000 in 2019 compared with the number of applicants in 2018, but the supply of public high school degrees was basically the same as last year. Therefore, there are not a few parents who share the same views with Chen Jinhua. In the education section of many local forums in Shenzhen, there are many messages behind the post "It is difficult for Shenzhen to get into high school and get into college".

  According to the reporter’s statistics, there are currently 52 public ordinary high schools and 30 private ordinary high schools in Shenzhen. However, not all parents have the ability to "pay" for the supplement of private high school resources. The reporter inquired about the enrollment information of most private ordinary high schools, among which the lowest tuition fee is 10,800 yuan per semester and the highest is 100,000 yuan per semester, while attending ordinary public high schools only costs more than 1,000 yuan in tuition and fees. Not only that, but it is not uncommon for private high schools to increase tuition fees during their studies because of the market-regulated prices. During the winter vacation, Ms. Chen, who lives in Guangming District, received a price increase notice from the private Pugao where her son was studying, which rose directly from 12,000 yuan to more than 16,000 yuan.

  For vocational education, students and parents are more reluctant to "buy it". According to the plan, the ratio of high school education to ordinary high school and vocational education should be 1:1. In a written response from Shenzhen Education Bureau, the reporter saw that the number of candidates eligible to participate in the marking admission in Shenzhen this year was 78,300, while the number of students enrolled in all admission methods, including public ordinary high schools, private ordinary high schools and secondary vocational schools, was 78,400, with a ratio of general education to vocational education of about 6:4, which met the planning requirements, and theoretically, every child could have a desk. However, Chen Jinhua also said: "When this issue was raised, many government departments told me to learn from Germany and increase vocational education. But now the question is whether you can’t find a job with a vocational high school or you have to take the college entrance examination. "

  Regarding the feedback from parents and NPC deputies, Shenzhen Education Bureau admitted recently that the number of ordinary public high school degrees is really insufficient. It is planned that by 2022, 18 public high schools will be newly rebuilt and expanded, and 34,100 public high school degrees will be added, which will ensure that the total supply of high school degrees in Shenzhen is basically balanced with the demand of qualified candidates. In addition, Shenzhen has started the compilation of the Special Plan for the Layout of Senior High Schools in Shenzhen, and completed the preliminary investigation work. It is expected to be completed before the end of this year. The Special Plan will further expand resources on the existing basis, try its best to increase the number and scale of senior high schools at the planning level, and rationally distribute them in space.
