What does the 5+4 model mean in primary and secondary schools?

The 5+4 teaching mode in primary and secondary schools refers to the May 4th educational system, with five years in primary school and four years in junior high school.

Many parents think that three years in junior high school is too short for students, so they should give their children one more year to review and let them cope better, while six years in primary school is too long to save one year in junior high school, so they put forward a 5+4 teaching model.

It seems that it only shortens the academic system by one year, but there are too many factors involved. We should consider the adaptation of funds, teachers and students. Obviously, it can't meet the requirements in the short term, and sudden reform will also bring bad influence to students. For a long time, teachers and students have also adapted to this teaching mode, and it is certainly difficult to adapt to the rash reform.

Benefits of 5+4 model in primary and secondary schools;

1, improve the efficiency of education

The 5+4 model in primary and secondary schools can improve educational efficiency. The traditional six-year study period of primary school and junior high school is reduced to five years, which enables students to complete the basic knowledge study in a shorter time, thus having more time to contact with deeper knowledge and skills. At the same time, students have more opportunities to explore and expand their hobbies and specialties to achieve personalized development.

2. Reduce the academic burden

This model can reduce students' academic burden. Because the study time is compressed, students can complete more study tasks in the same grade, which can relieve their study pressure to some extent. At the same time, due to the shortened study time, students can finish their studies earlier, start work or continue their studies, thus reducing the financial pressure on their families.

3. Promote all-round quality education.

The 5+4 model in primary and secondary schools can promote students' comprehensive quality education. Extending the study time in senior high school to four years can provide more practical opportunities and social practice for students. This not only helps to consolidate and improve students' theoretical knowledge, but also helps to cultivate their innovative spirit and practical ability. In addition, more social practice and labor technology courses can help students better understand and adapt to society and enhance their sense of social responsibility and practical operation ability.
