In accordance with the requirements of Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Standardizing the Development of Off-campus Training Institutions (Guo Ban Fa [2018] No.80), Notice of the Ministry of Education and other nine departments on Printing and Distributing Measures to Reduce the Burden of Primary and Secondary School Students (J.J. [2018] No.26) and Guiding Opinions of the General Office of the Ministry of Education on Doing a Good Job in After-school Services for Primary and Secondary School Students (J.J. No.1 Hall [2017] No.2), we will do a good job in our province now.
      I. Basic principles
      (1) Territorial management.The education administrative departments of counties (districts) undertake the main management responsibilities of after-school service for primary and secondary school students, with the development, reform and human society performing their respective duties. All departments cooperate closely, make overall plans, formulate policies, and guide primary and secondary schools within their jurisdiction to do a good job in after-school service management. All localities and cities should strengthen supervision and guidance, and co-ordinate the management of after-school service for primary and secondary school students in this region.
      (2) School-led.All primary and secondary schools should take the initiative to take responsibility, independently carry out after-school service, give full play to the role of the main channel of after-school service, and meet the needs of students as much as possible. The school may, according to the needs, jointly carry out after-school service with the youth extracurricular activity center, comprehensive practice activity base and youth palace. Schools that have after-school service needs but do not have the conditions may, under the leadership and supervision of the county (district) government, explore the way of government purchasing services to hire professional institutions to participate in after-school service.
      (3) Non-profit.The funds needed for the school to carry out after-school service shall be raised by the cities and counties according to the nature of after-school service through financial subsidies, service charges or fees on behalf of them. For students from poor families who have established a file card, they will be exempted from the corresponding fees for participating in after-school services. It is strictly forbidden to collect fees in the name of after-school service.
      (4) voluntary choice.Whether primary and secondary school students participate in after-school services is voluntarily chosen by students and parents. It is strictly forbidden to force students to participate in any way or in disguised form. Primary and secondary schools should take the initiative to remind parents to choose qualified and guaranteed after-school service institutions for parents who want to choose after-school services independently.
      (5) adjust measures to local conditions.Cities and counties (districts) should, on the basis of investigation and study, proceed from reality, fully demonstrate and proceed step by step according to local financial resources, school conditions, resource allocation and service capacity of relevant institutions.
      Second, the work arrangement
      (1) service target.The object of after-school service is primary and secondary school students. Priority is given to ensuring the needs of lower-grade primary school students, migrant children of migrant workers, left-behind children and disabled children.
      (2) Time requirements.After-school service is provided at noon and after school in the afternoon on the school study day, and the end time is not later than 18:00 in principle. The specific service time shall be stipulated by the education administrative department at or above the county level according to the actual situation.
      (3) Organizational form.Schools that carry out after-school services should respect students’ and parents’ right to know and choose, give full play to the role of parents’ committees, solicit opinions extensively in advance, formulate practical plans, and promptly inform students and parents of information such as service time, service content, service mode, charging standard and safety matters after public classes. Parents of students with after-school service needs voluntarily apply according to the regulations of the school. After being examined and approved by the class or parents’ committee, the school will make overall arrangements and organize them in a unified way.
      (4) Service contents.All localities and schools should, according to the actual situation, combine the characteristics of students participating in after-school service, follow the laws of education and students’ growth, actively provide rich and colorful service contents, help students cultivate their interests, develop their specialties, broaden their horizons, enhance their practice, and promote their all-round development. Available after-school services include:
      1. Provide delayed hosting. The school arranges special people to take care of students’ independent review, homework, preview or extracurricular reading in designated places, and can answer individual questions about students’ homework, strengthen assistance to students with learning difficulties, and give guidance to students with spare capacity. It is strictly forbidden to disguise after-school services as collective teaching or collective remedial classes.
      2. Carry out collective activities. According to the characteristics of the school and students, the school organizes students to participate in meaningful collective activities, develops students’ interests and hobbies, and strengthens students’ physique. Students can be organized to collectively carry out activities such as reading exchange, movie viewing, music appreciation, art appreciation, sports, labor practice, entertainment and games, and outward bound training, so as to improve their comprehensive quality. According to the school’s facilities, teachers’ conditions, and the cooperation with the youth extracurricular activity center, comprehensive practice base and youth palace, we can organize a variety of community activities, interest group activities or comprehensive practice activities for students to choose from, so as to cultivate students’ interests and specialties.
      (5) Staffing.Fully mobilize the initiative and enthusiasm of in-service staff to participate in after-school service work, and form an after-school service team with in-service staff as the main body. On-the-job teaching staff who participate in after-school service work will be included in the workload and performance pay management. Create a good policy environment, mobilize retired teachers, parents of students, social professionals, college students volunteers and other social enthusiasts and other volunteer service forces to solve the problem of insufficient personnel as a whole. Volunteers who participate in after-school services should be strictly controlled and managed.
      Third, organizational guarantee
      (1) Strengthen organizational leadership.Cities, counties (districts) should set up a leading group led by local governments, establish a working mechanism of after-school service with government-led, departmental supervision, social participation and parents’ support, clarify the responsibilities of education, development and reform, and human society departments, and implement their work responsibilities. Education administrative departments at all levels should further strengthen their responsibilities and implement their responsibilities, take the lead in the management and coordination of after-school services, make overall plans for all kinds of resources and needs, mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties, and strive to form a joint force of after-school services.
      (two) the implementation of financial security.All localities should actively report to the local party committees and governments, strive for financial support, and study ways to raise funds. Strengthen the supervision of after-school service funds, ensure that the funds are earmarked and shall not be used for any other expenses. For the illegal use of special subsidy funds or arbitrary charges in the name of after-school services, we must seriously investigate and hold relevant responsibilities.
      (3) Clarify the responsibilities of home and school.Schools that carry out after-school service should pay attention to communication and consultation with parents, give full play to the organization and coordination role of parents’ committees, and inform students and parents of application procedures, service contents, personnel arrangements, charging standards and time arrangements in time, so as to facilitate students and parents to choose voluntarily and ensure the smooth development of after-school service. Parents sign an agreement with the school after applying for after-school service, with one semester as a fixed cycle.
      (4) Strive for social support.All localities should attach importance to investigation and study, effectively respond to local actual needs, increase policy propaganda, and gain the understanding and support of all sectors of society for after-school service. Schools that carry out after-school service should take the initiative to open the service mode, content, financial revenue and expenditure and service quality after class, and accept social supervision.
      (5) Strengthen safety management.It is necessary to improve the safety management system. Clarify the responsibilities of after-school service personnel and strengthen the education of safety and health awareness for teachers and students; Strengthen the management system of safety inspection and doorman registration in activity places, and formulate and implement strict attendance, supervision, handover system and emergency plan measures. If the school organizes the implementation of after-school services outside the school, the administrative department of education should strengthen coordination with the departments of comprehensive management, public security, health care, drug administration and market supervision, effectively eliminate hidden dangers in transportation, venues, fire protection, food hygiene, safety and security, and ensure the personal safety of teachers and students. Safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of schools, teachers and students, and make good use of school liability insurance.
      (6) Improve supervision and management.All localities should strengthen the supervision of after-school service, regularly organize relevant departments to carry out supervision and inspection of schools, and effectively guarantee the quality of after-school service and the safety of students. It is necessary to bring after-school service into the scope of educational supervision, and carry out inspection and supervision of after-school service in a timely manner to ensure the continuous and effective development of after-school service for primary and secondary school students. Schools and parent committees should strengthen the supervision of after-school services and dynamically revise the implementation plan for existing problems.
      All localities should actively carry out after-school service research, find and solve existing problems in time, explore fresh cases, sum up typical experiences, publicize and promote them and submit them to the Provincial Department of Education.
