城乡差距对于教育的影响（ Education affected by Urban-Rural gap）

October 22, 2020 admin Other

城乡差距对于教育的影响（ Education affected by Urban-Rural gap）随着中国科学技术与经济实力的日积月累，中国的经济实力已经在全球取得了突破性的成绩。我们的社会主义价值观取得了极大的成就而正是因为我们国家有着以人为本的教育理念，推进素质发展。彰显出了教育对一个国家的重要性。作为一个发展中的农业大国，知识的重要性不言而喻了，加强以及投资现代化教育成了现在的一大任务。据有关数据显示，我国的总人口为14亿，而所注册的农村人口就达到了8亿，约占总人口的57%，而农村与城市的人口之比更是达到了4：3。而现在，在一些农村，教育上的细小问题也在慢慢地暴露出来，这些问题不仅大大地限制了农村地区经济的发展，也将孩子们培养学习的兴趣，义务教育制度的实施增添了许多麻烦。而问题所在则是教育资源。教育资源，共分为两种，师资力量资源，以及教育器材资源。师资资源：由于生活环境条件的艰辛，在2010-2013年间，乡村教师的流失量由427万降到了330万，短短的三年内,流失量就达到了5万，流失率高达30%。而这些原因并不是因为工资所造成的，据统计一名乡村教师的月薪可达到4511元，而城市教师的工资只有3500元左右。对此政府为鼓励乡村教师对其提供了许多的福利及政策，如一些城市直接聘请满30年教龄的乡村教师高级教师的荣誉称号。教学设备：在大城市里，眼花缭乱的多媒体教学已经实现了多媒体的教学方式，电子白板几乎普遍出现在学生眼前，在城里孩子眼里已经变得索然无味的电子白板或许在乡村孩子眼里是一个缤纷五彩的新世界。随着时间的推移，各种福利保障制度更加完善，我相信在不远的将来，农村孩子们也会体验到学习的乐趣。王西杰
