The Problems And Its Solutions In The Principles' Education Of Inner-Mongolia Autonomous Region

In the management of middle schools and primary schools, headmasters play a key and indispensable role."The headmaster is the soul of a school,"said Mr.Tao Xingzhi, a well-known educator in China. The selection and training of headmasters of schools are vital to the socialist orientation, the implementation of the education policies of the CCCP and the Government, the further educational reform of the basic education, the improvement of the primary education and the training of the successors and constructors of the socialism.In recent years, much attention has been paid to the selection and training of school headmasters at different levels of the governments and education departments in Inner Mongolia. Much work has been done in the areas such as the rationalization of the management system of school masters, the strengthening of the selection systems, the improvement of the training and the assessment and supervision of headmasters. The total quality of school headmasters has been further improved, which in turn contributes a great deal to the enhancement of the quality and the reform of the elementary education in Inner Mongolia.Further reform of the elementary education and the rapid social and economic developments in Inner Mongolia pose further and higher demands for the personnel training of the elementary education and the quality of school headmasters. It can be found that there exist some problems in the management systems of school headmasters such as selection, training, check-up and supervision. These problems are hindrances to the further improvement of quality of the elementary education and to the establishment of the schools of special features. It's the education department's responsibility to set up the management systems of school headmasters that meet the demands of the reform of the elementary education and the need of quality education. Headmasters'incentives to create new management methods have to be stimulated by the management systems.The main problems existing in the management of school headmasters in Inner Mongolia have been analyzed in the paper and the possible solutions to the above problems have been put forward. The existing problems are as follows: school headmasters think of themselves as government officials and work with bureaucrat airs; the government education departments are weak in the management of headmasters; the standards of selection of headmasters are not fully implemented; the training of school headmasters is not efficient and effective as expected; the check-up and supervision of headmasters are incompetent. The solutions to the problems are as follows: the management systems of headmasters should be further rationalized and the education departments should be the sole departments in managing headmasters; the degrees of school headmasters should be set up and the existing official degrees of headmasters should be canceled; school headmasters'qualifications, responsibilities, rights should be clarified; the selection of school headmasters should be reformed; school headmasters should be appointed; headmasters are fully responsible for the management of schools and have the right to manage school by themselves without outside interference; rewarding systems for headmasters should be established in order to rouse headmasters'creativity and energetic activity; the check-up systems of headmasters should be improved; the supervision of headmasters should be strengthened in order to make them resistant to corruption.This research will clarify headmasters'responsibilities and obligations, and it will contribute to the construction of headmasters and to the better developments of the elementary education.
