BEYOND BOOKS CAMPAIGN
BEYOND BOOKS CAMPAIGN , is an initiative of IBDF to provide accessible, reliable expertise education to the kids of primary schools located in rural areas.
What we need
we need to continue with curriculum and teaching reforms, placing the focus on cultivating the abilities of students. Compulsory education is a vital stage in the formation of one’s character, personality, and creativity. Therefore, we must ensure that all subjects stipulated by the government are taught in full with no compromise in quality. On this basis, we should place an emphasis on the exploration of new teaching methods which are able to make teaching more targeted, more effective, and more appealing, which give full play to the role of classroom teaching, and which not only cultivate but also protect the curiosity, desire for knowledge, and imagination of students. Local governments should make full use of the natural and cultural resources in their localities to develop social activity centers for students and introduce courses that boast rural features, thereby taking learning beyond the classroom. In addition, we should provide rural students with more opportunities to visit museums, art galleries, and science and technology museums, and allow them to mix with students from urban areas. This will not only broaden their horizons, but will also allow them to develop their social skills and become more adept at adapting to unfamiliar surroundings.
ALSO we need to enhance physical education and art teaching in rural schools. Efforts must be made to enhance physical education, science, and art teaching in rural schools, with a view to raising the scientific knowledge, aesthetic taste, and artistic attainment of rural students. Physical education is still insufficient in schools, with declining physical fitness among students still being a serious problem. Therefore, if we are to realize our goal of a “healthy China,” we must start by improving the physical fitness of children. By organizing sporting activities that match rural conditions, we need to give PE classes back to students, and encourage participation in physical activities. Education and health departments should step up their collaboration by arranging routine physical examinations in rural primary and junior middle schools and keeping records to monitor the health and fitness of rural students. Art education is still generally lacking in rural schools. Therefore, by making full use of local culture, folk arts, and national cultural heritage, we should encourage teachers to teach at multiple schools and take on extra classes in their free time, and develop simple but effective teaching models that are able to foster students’ interest and attainment in art. At the same time, we should train more art and PE teachers, mobilize people from various social sectors to engage in teaching, encourage retired teachers, student volunteers, and folk artists to teach in rural schools, and adopt various means of increasing PE and art resources in rural schools.
Keeping this in mind IBDF has come up with a campaign which is named as BEYOND BOOKS CAMPAIGN.
