Future Network, Beijing, March 3rd (Reporter Yang Peiying, intern reporter Wang Qi) "What the Internet brings to education is ‘ The simplest and most straightforward change ’ It gives children in poor or remote areas the chance to come to primary and secondary schools in Beijing ‘ Attend lectures ’ The opportunity can now be realized by mobile APP. " Talking about the changes that the Internet has brought to education, Li Lan, a member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and a researcher at China Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with a reporter from Future Network.
On March 2nd, Future.com held an educational interview activity of "face to face with representatives of NPC and CPPCC". Li Lan and Hou Jianbin, the founder of homework help, discussed the current situation of rural primary and secondary education and explored the new possibilities that "Internet+education" can bring to rural primary and secondary education.
The problem of rural teachers is rooted in income.
According to his years of research, Li Lan found that the education in urban and rural areas in China is still very uneven. Now the primary and secondary education in rural areas is not facing the hardware problem, but the teacher problem.
"Rural teachers are generally older, with aging knowledge structure and even no vitality. Young teachers with strong teaching ability are transferred to schools in the city, or they leave for schools in coastal areas. " Li Lan believes that the current teacher problem is very serious, and its root lies in the income problem.

"If the income of rural primary and secondary schools is higher in the more remote places, which is three times or five times that of cities, will he still not go?" Li Lan asks.
Li Lan believes that primary and secondary school teachers in rural areas have low direct income, poor living conditions in rural areas, no enjoyment of culture and life, and are much worse in all aspects.
Li Lan suggested, "The income of rural primary and secondary school teachers should be directly increased, as long as it is higher than that of cities, and then many people will be willing to go."
The reporter from Future Network learned that Li Lan has been paying attention to the situation of rural teachers for many years, and this year he also brought a proposal on the treatment of rural teachers.
In addition to rural teachers, Li Lan is also concerned about the school bus problem in rural schools. He introduced that one of the reasons for the frequent school bus accidents in China at present is that after the rural schools were merged, the state did not provide formal school buses, and students in rural areas could only take various means of transportation, including tractors, electric cars and bicycles, to go to school, and the drivers of these means of transportation often had poor driving skills, which led to frequent school bus accidents.
Internet education solves the dilemma of rural education teachers
Li Lan pointed out that there is still a great obstacle to rural education, that is, children’s questions are not asked. Because of age and knowledge reserve, it is often difficult for school teachers to give students satisfactory answers. However, with the help of the education and learning mode of the Internet, students can get the answers well and listen to the explanations about the problem-solving ideas. In this way, primary and secondary school students in rural areas can be exposed to high-quality educational resources.
In the past year, online education has developed rapidly, and the Internet has brought many changes to education. Li Lan, who has been in-depth research at the grassroots level for a long time, found that smart phones are very popular now, and everyone can come up with a mobile phone. Both left-behind children and their grandparents have smart phones, but there are differences between generations.
Regarding the change of education by the Internet, Li Lan believes that the Internet has brought "the simplest and most straightforward change" to education, which has given children in poor or remote areas the opportunity to "attend classes" in primary and secondary schools in Beijing that was unimaginable before, and now it can be realized by mobile apps.
Hou Jianbin believes that the educational service provided by the Internet is "very necessary for children in different regions, and it is just a need to help them solve their doubts in time." Hou Jianbin said. With the development of the Internet and the popularity of smart phones, children in different regions can connect to the Internet and get all kinds of resources from the Internet, which also gives them an opportunity for such Internet companies to show their talents.
There are far more places where the Internet can exert its power. Not only in rural areas, Hou Jianbin said that the current weakness of teachers in China lies not only in the imbalance in the number of students and teachers, but also in the imbalance in geographical distribution. The number of outstanding teachers in local cities and rural areas is not as good as that in first-and second-tier cities. Lack of teachers, but also lack of good teachers.
Hou Jianbin believes that the Internet has some unique advantages and conditions for solving such problems, and it can also play a unique role. The first is Pratt & Whitney. With the Internet, a super-time, cross-regional means, places without teachers can also enjoy excellent teachers and content. The second is to maximize the use of resources. With the help of the Internet, a reasonable scheduling can be achieved, so that teachers with time and ability can help students who are not with them, perhaps all over the country and in different cities.
"I think that in the process of gradually solving the optimization of basic education, the part of the Internet can take the lead and reach out to remote areas first to provide them with quality educational resources." Hou Jianbin said.
Education, poverty alleviation, ambitious enterprises, and the government should first.
"Educational resources are rationed by the government and provided by the government. First of all, government departments must not neglect their duties and ensure that educational resources can develop into high-quality educational resources. " For the "education out of poverty" that has attracted much attention, Li Lan believes that this issue is very complicated.
In January this year, the State Council issued the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for National Education", proposing to implement the action plan of tackling poverty through education, and proposing to increase the intensity of poverty alleviation through vocational education and expand the opportunities for students in poor rural areas to receive quality higher education. In the past year, poverty alleviation through education has also been continuously promoted.
In 2015, the State Council released the Rural Teachers Support Plan (2015-2020). Since then, Li Lan has made an investigation. Li Lan said, "All provinces and autonomous regions in China, including Xinjiang Corps, have taken supporting measures. But after checking these supporting measures, to be honest, I am not very encouraged. "
"We held a conference and selected 50 rural teachers all over the country, and Premier Li Keqiang personally met with them. Choose ten more in each province. Can this solve the education problem in rural areas? If it is to solve the education problem, I think this is not available. " Li Lan commented.
"I appreciate many socially responsible enterprises, and college students with ideals and ambitions go to rural areas to teach and support rural education. I appreciate and admire these people. " Li Lan said that he believes that at the same time, the government and the education authorities should also increase investment in education. "To make rural education the best educational resource, it is not that I beg you to teach, but that you are very willing to come."
Hou Jianbin also believes that China’s basic education should be divided into two parts, one part is the responsibility of the state and the government, which is the most core and basic part of the whole basic education in China, and plays its main functions and values. The state should be responsible for allocating educational resources in geographical areas while taking into account the development of various places, just like the army. Private enterprises can make use of the advantages of the Internet, without being restricted by the imbalance of regional and economic development, and provide help to areas in need first, just like the Air Force. Only by combining land and air can we exert greater strength.
