The Current Situation And Improvement Strategies Of After-school Service Teachers In Primary Schools Under The "double Reduction" Polic

In order to reduce the burden of homework and out-of-school training on students in compulsory education and to relieve parents of the pressure of transport,the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council have issued a "double reduction" policy.The policy states that after-school services should be upgraded to meet the diverse needs of students.Schools will be the main venue for after-school services.In order to implement the spirit of "double reduction",Guangzhou,as a pilot city,issued a document requiring all compulsory schools to provide after-school services for students in need.All primary schools in Guangzhou’s Z district have been responding to this requirement and actively promoting the implementation of after-school services.As the after-school service has been in operation for a short period of time,it is still in the exploratory stage and some problems in teacher management are encountered in the process of implementation.Through a survey of the current situation of after-school teacher management in more than 30 primary schools in Guangzhou’s Z district,we identify the problems and causes of these problems,and propose countermeasures and methods to solve them,which will be conducive to the sustainable and high-quality development of after-school services.This paper firstly compares policy documents and research literature on after-school services at home and abroad,then develops a questionnaire for after-school service teachers and an outline of interviews with managers,and combines observation methods to investigate the current situation of after-school service teachers’ management in more than 30 primary schools in District Z of Guangzhou.The results of the survey were analysed to identify the problems and causes of the management of after-school service teachers in District Z,and the results were used to propose relevant improvement strategies.The study found that the management of after-school service teachers in the Z district of Guangzhou has mixed qualifications,a lack of incentive management work for teachers,a lack of training for after-school service teachers,and the evaluation of after-school service teachers has not yet been implemented.The reasons for this are mainly due to the internal responsibility of the management of schools.The reasons for this are mainly due to the lack of clarity in the management of responsibilities within schools and the lack of policy implementation and management mechanisms.To address the above problems and causes,this paper proposes several improvement strategies based on synergy theory,education cost-sharing theory and principal-agent theory: standardising the procedures and methods for selecting and recruiting teachers for after-school services;ensuring that teachers are able to exercise their rights;formulating preferential policies to encourage teachers to participate;making full use of social resources to revitalise the teaching force;and improving the evaluation mechanism to improve the quality of after-school services in order to clarify the responsibilities of all parties The study aims to solve the current problems in the management of teachers of after-school services,ensure the quality of teaching and learning of after-school services,and promote the support and development of after-school services.This study aims to provide reference for education departments and administrators to develop and implement relevant teacher management work,improve management standards and ensure the quality of the after-school service teacher workforce,in order to optimise teacher management and improve the standard of after-school services in primary schools.
