Why are many primary schools called experimental primary schools?

As the name implies, experimental schools will adopt more new teaching methods and training modes. Compared with many traditional schools, most experimental schools will have more new attempts and reforms in class mode and textbook selection. Both schools and teachers will invest more energy and time, and the results are mostly good.

The original intention of the experimental school is to set up a window of teaching reform, which is responsible for exploring and leading the direction of education and teaching reform in a region. In 1960s, experimental primary schools were established in many places, but few experimental middle schools were established. In 1980s, after the resumption of college entrance examination, the state and society paid more and more attention to education, and experimental schools were set up in more and more areas, and experimental middle schools began to increase.

Extended data

Experimental schools can be traced back to the early 1960s. At the beginning of the founding of New China, a large number of talents were needed in every aspect of national development, and schools were a place to produce talents. Therefore, school education needs enough attention, and how to better cultivate high-level talents is very important.

At that time, China studied the education system of the Soviet Union, that is, the "ten-year consistent" system. The so-called ten-year consistent system means the five-year primary school system and the five-year secondary school system, and the experimental schools established in due course have implemented these systems. However, many experimental schools have not implemented this system. For example, only two schools in Beijing implement this system.

However, with the deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations, we insisted at that time that "if the enemy agrees, we will oppose it, and if the enemy opposes it, we will agree." This decade-long institutional principle was overthrown. However, the experimental school remained, and later many curriculum reforms, teacher reforms and so on. , mostly from the experimental school to see the exhibition began.

Most experimental schools have strong government support, strong teachers, perfect equipment and advanced teaching concepts, so the first impression of experimental schools is that they are better than ordinary schools.
