"In many big cities, the school is still hot in the compulsory education stage."　　"Renowned educators, Beijing Institute of Technology, Professor Yang Dongping said that the Ministry of Education has been with more than 20 provincial governments signed a balanced guarantee of compulsory education, the requirement of 2015 years ago in the province of the scope of the basic education to achieve the goal of equalization, in order to curb the growing" hot school. "　　Shanghai's policy of allocating key secondary schools from multiple points of view tries to crack the heat of school choice, and has now put out more than 55% of the key secondary school enrollment quota for public distribution.　　According to the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Education, the new school year 2012, Shanghai will be "all abolish high school choice." Starting from the key Middle school in 21st century, the Institute of Education published a report called "Beijing," the Chaos and governance: Road in the investigation report, the report shows that including the use of "pit class", "Gifted students", "specialty", "Build a student", "Cop students", "computer placement" and many other ways of school children,　　Reach more than half of the student population.　　Because of the administrative needs, the government has imposed a policy of "proximity to schools and film enrollment", and the government departments have formulated a policy of fair enrollment in advance, which has led to the fever of school choice.　　According to a survey, only 8.85% of parents think they are willing to obey computer-assigned places, and the remaining 92% of parents are willing to take the choice if possible. "The Battle of choosing a school that has not yet entered the college entrance examination has already made the idea of fair and balanced a fleeting one."　　Wu Yumin, a professor of education at East China Normal University, who has long studied the question of choosing a school.　　The nature of the general compulsory education is a public product, but the quality of education in the attribute is the club products, to enter the club is to be qualified. "It is now a privilege to enter the club, but we hope to have more educational standards in the future to qualify for the club," he said.　　Said Zengxiaodong, a professor at Beijing Normal University.　　In the opinion of the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission, the "club" should be the key high schools that have mastered a considerable amount of quality educational resources. Now, Shanghai Key High school can be divided into two categories: one is "experimental demonstrative high School", is the key school in the past, the other is the new modern high school.　　These two types of schools in the eyes of the local residents of Shanghai are "good schools", the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Education from these two types of schools to take more than half of the admission quota for public distribution.　　Shanghai Municipal Board of Education Jie said that the Shanghai city has already taken out more than 55% of the key secondary school enrollment quota for public distribution. Ensuring that equity is equitably distributed among key high schools is a topic of greatest concern to policymakers.　　To this end, the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission designed three kinds of distribution plan. The first method is early admission. According to the regulations, Shanghai annual test is in June 18-19th two days, the Education Bureau this year in April from the city's key high school enrollment quota of 40% of the quota for the advance recordTake。　　The 40% quota is divided into two parts.　　30% of the places to take the junior high school recommended, recommended standards to students ' academic level, coupled with comprehensive quality evaluation, student expertise, whether or not in the urban area two to obtain outstanding cadres and other honors included in the assessment, comprehensive evaluation, the students to be recommended publicity.　　To ensure that the recommendations are not problematic, the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission also requires the parent committee and community leaders to oversee the referral process.　　In order to make school recommendations more representative, the Shanghai policy also set some additional conditions: 30% of the recommended school places, half of the places in the key secondary schools outside the region recommended.　　Some central cities in Shanghai, such as Xujiahui (002561) brand-name schools are more concentrated, it must be stipulated that one-second of the student places to the outside area, so you can tilt to the suburbs, rural areas. In addition to school recommendations, the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission also allows students to recommend themselves.　　Recommended successful students, still need to participate in the Shanghai Unified test, but because the standard is relatively low, the vast majority of students can be recommended by the school or recommend admission after the entry into the key high school. The second method is 0 volunteer enrollment.　　According to Jie introduction, the so-called 0 voluntary, is the first volunteer before the early enrollment, the key secondary school to take out 15% of the enrollment, and the admission plan to the counties, counties and then the early enrollment.　　The third method is direct quota allocation, the key secondary school admission quota 15% to distribute evenly to all junior high school. At present, Shanghai has more than 50 key high schools, each key school to take out 15% of the enrollment quota, about the total number of more than 1000.　　The average distribution to the whole of the middle school in Shanghai, roughly every school can get 1-2 places, these junior high school by drawing lots to determine the number of students. According to the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Education Related people, Shanghai will be the new school year in 2012 to abolish the high school choice.
