Giving Students Most Suitable Education

This article gives a detailed report on Sanming No.1 Middle school's educationl reform. Since Sanming No.1 Middle school stopped the enrollment in its junior section while enrolling a larger number of students in the senior section, senior class-teaching has become very difficult as each class contains over fifty students who have quite different levels of proficiency in study. In 1997, Sanming No.1 Middle School began to carry out its educational reform named "Shifting System Based on Students' Levels". The reform consists of three items: establishing combinative courses system; suiting the instruction to the students' levels; and putting the school-year credit system into practice. Basing on the principle that students are the main body in study, the reform brings the class-teaching into full play. The teaching faces the whole while taking the individual development into account. After a three-year cycle of experiment, the reform has yielded some positive results: the students' individualities and specialties are fully developed; great successes have been achieved in the college entrance examination; and the school still takes the lead in Olympic Games in some courses such as physics and chemistry in Fujian Province. These all show that Sanming No.1 Middle School has found an efficient way for those who aim at enhancing students' comprehensive competence and developing their individualities and specialties so as to foster qualified senior students with a sound character, a wide range of knowledge and fine qualities.
