Issue 229(教育类)第一篇 谢谢大家
A nation should require all its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college rather than allow schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic courses to offer
The speaker claims that the courses of all the students should be assigned by the nation, before the students enter college. While some people may recommend that the nation should allows the schools in different parts to determine which academic courses to offer. In my view, the nation should provides national core curriculum which involves common sense and basic skills, meantime, the schools in different parts also have the rights to arrange some endemic courses as the rest of national curriculum.
To begin with, all the students must master some fundamental knowledge and skills before they enter the college, since these knowledge and skills—such as conscientiousness of secure or awareness of natural calamity—can help them all their lives. A striking example: in Indian Ocean Tsunami, a nine-year-old English girl observed the abnormal phenomena on the sea and she alarmed the coming tsunami, in the consequence she salvaged over 150 people who were playing on the beach. The little girl learned the knowledge of natural calamity in the natural course that is involved by the English national curriculum. Without these basic knowledge, one cannot save him/herself under certain urgent conditions. So the nation should require all its students to study such courses.
Besides, the national curriculum offers a nearly equal knowledge foundation for the freshman, in that the college administrators could build curricula much easier. Most colleges enrol the students from all the parts of nation—even all over the world, and the college’s curricula which are more complex often require certain fundamental knowledge and skills. If the nation only allow the schools in different parts to arrange endemic courses, it is possible that the students of different parts have different education foundations. The college faculty have to take such differences into account, therefore the teaching efficiency would decrease. For an instant, in my college, not all the students have learned computer course in the high school, to warrant all the student to master Java-language the college administrator has to offer three courses of different levels. In short, national curriculum supplies the convenience to the college.
However, the location schools also have rights to determine which academic courses besides national curriculum to offer. It is true that the nation should require some essential courses, but individual part has its own geographic circumstance and culture. Undoubtedly, it is too difficult to design a national curriculum applicable to all students. If the students are only forced to learn the courses that are satisfying to them, perhaps they would lose the interest in study and their creation would recede. The endemic courses assigned by the local schools exactly play a roll as the rest of the national curriculum. Because the endemic courses are according to the culture of the students, they may like them more.
To sum up, the national curriculum that offers the basic skills and knowledge is indispensable, however it is unfairly to claim that this curriculum is rather than the endemic courses. After all the nation should provide the students fundamental knowledge while maintain the students’ endemic characters. |
