Did you see the new notice from the Ministry of Education? Compulsory education schools can no longer set up key classes, experimental classes, or fast-track and slow-track classes.

Yes, I saw it. This year, general high school admissions are also included in the special campaign, mainly to prevent early recruitment and cross-district competition for students.

After so many years as a teacher, what I fear most is parents asking as soon as school starts, 'Can our child get into a good class?' This can easily create anxiety.

That's why this time they require balanced class placement, random assignment of students, and balanced allocation of teachers. The plan, process, and results of class placement all have to be made public.

Transparency is very important. If parent representatives can supervise on site, everyone will feel much more reassured and won't keep suspecting the school of operating behind closed doors.

The notice also says schools can't charge things like 'school-selection fees' or 'intent deposits,' nor can they use 'pre-admission agreements' to lock in students early.

This is good for ordinary families. Not every parent has connections or resources. A child's admission should depend on rules, not personal favors.

Our organization will also need to cooperate by making enrollment hotlines and complaint channels public. Whether the policy can truly be implemented depends greatly on supervision.

Then I'll talk about this at the parent meeting tomorrow too. With less anxiety about fighting for class placement, children can go to school a little more easily.
