1 . The World Declaration on Education for All (1990)(《全民教育世界宣言》) was mainly about how necessary it is to provide education for all children, youth and adults. It meets their needs and useful skills to their lives. They believe that good quality education, provided by trained teachers, is the right of all children, youth and adults. The basic skills, knowledge, values and attitudes should be included. What's more, creative thinking, problem solving and lifelong learning abilities are also important.

Teachers are important for improving learning. People all know this. They have a powerful influence on the quality of student learning. However, many countries, especially the developing countries, are short of qualified(合格的) teachers—in 1/3 of countries with data, less than 3/4 of teachers are trained to national standards. By 2030, 28 countries will not have enough primary school teachers and over 3.4 million new primary teachers will be needed. Also, teachers are paid poorly. Teacher payment is below US$10 per day in 8 countries.

Quality learning is important and necessary for meeting people's basic needs. It's also necessary for development of the countries. All young people need to learn in active ways. However, 124 million of the children across the world are out of school and 250 million are not learning basic skills as a result of poor quality education. According to a research, 38% of children are not learning the basics in reading and math. And over one-half of them have spent 4 years in school.

Luckily, many countries have realized the importance of quality education and pay great attention to it. There are even some organizations trying to help girls, children with disabilities and children living in poor areas to get an education.

2 . On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War(抗击新型肺炎战), the Ministry of Education issued(教育部公布)a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before March. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.

However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may influence children's studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.

In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform (平台), where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can lean at home through computer or mobile network.

It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection(感染))of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve "no suspension(暂停)of classes". Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.

Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization(普及); at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.

4 . More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science.

Many teachers are supporters（支持者）of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.

The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a conversation only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same conversation again to understand it.

The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies ). The class has become much more interesting and creative.

There are other advantages（优点）for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored（分类）in their iPads and are easy to find. Some students spend more time studying now. “I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home,” a student explained.

Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are bad for students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate（分隔）students from each other.

However, technologies are already a part of most students’ day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.

Stay Home Studying

17-year-old Liu Yu was a high school student in China. She planned to go back to school on Feb 17 to prepare for the 2020 college entrance examination（高考）. However, the Ministry of Education（教育部）told people in late January that the spring term for all schools would be put off because of the serious disease（疾病）in China. So Liu Yu, like all the others students, had to stay at home.

However, Liu and her classmates didn’t fell behind their plans and began studying full-time again – only from home. It may have become the largest online teaching experiment the country has ever seen.

To go with students’ new learning environment, a “cloud platform（云平台）” was started using on Feb 17. It provided students with education resources（资源） covering all school subjects. But some students had difficulty going to the website or using smart phones. A TV channel by China Education Television started airing classes on Feb 17. So students could have classes and study online or on TV at home.

But the online platform and TV channel don’t just offer school knowledge. Students can also learn how to protect themselves from the disease and psychological（心理的）health during this period, according to the Ministry of Education.

For some students, the chance to study from home has had some unexpected benefits. Yuan Siyi, who lives in Hubei province, used to get up before 6 am on school days, but since starting online courses, she got more hours of sleep every morning. “I like online teaching because I have more freedom at home,” Yuan told TEENS. She began her all-day courses on Feb 3.

However, online teaching and learning has its weaknesses compared to studying in a traditional classroom. “My motivation（动力）to study is stronger when my classmates are around me and all working very hard,” Yuan said.

According to the Ministry of Education, online courses are just a short-time way of learning during the disease. When the new term begins, schools will no longer use online classes instead of classroom teaching.

8 . Adolescence（青春期）is a very important time in one's life. During the time, a person's character is being developed. Parents play the main roles in teenage life. What they say and do have a great effect on their children, and even decide the children's future. So parents need to pay attention to right education.

First parents should treat their children as grown-ups. In parents' eyes, no matter how old their children are, they always treat them as babies. So they will be easy to make every decision for the children. Then the children will be rebellious（叛逆的）and don't want to talk to their parents, because they think there is nothing in common between them.

Second, parents should encourage their children. As parents always treat their children as the babies, they will deny（否定）their children’s ideas all the time. It is wrong to do so, parents should encourage their children and lead them to have their own thinking. It is better to let the children realize their mistakes by themselves.

Teenagers' education is of great importance, and parents should do it in the right way.

A boy got into a fight at school. Most schools would have sent him to the principal’s office. Instead, he was sent to a quiet room. It was a safe place where he could cool down.

The boy is in third grade. He goes to Robert W. Coleman Elementary, a school in Baltimore, Maryland. The school is trying something new. It is not putting as many kids in time-out (计时隔离). Instead, the school is helping kids practice mindfulness.

Mindfulness is a way of thinking. A mindful person only thinks about what he is doing at the moment. He does not let bad feelings get in the way.

When students at Coleman need to cool down, they go to the Mindful Moment Room. It is a peaceful space. The room is decorated (装饰) with bright curtains and beanbags. Teachers there ask the students to explain what happened. They help them talk about their feelings. They tell the students to take deep breaths. These are all mindfulness exercises. They are part of a new program at Coleman.

The school principal is Carlillian Thompson. She said the exercises help her students clear their minds. Then they are more ready to learn.

Carlillian has seen many signs of success. She says the students think more about how they behave. They pay more attention to their feelings.

Each school day starts with a message over the loudspeaker. It guides the students through breathing exercises. They take 15 minutes to practice mindfulness. Then they go to class. At the end of the day, they do another 15 minutes.

Many students go to the Mindful Moment Room. On one day in November 12 kids visited. One was the boy who had been in a fight.

By the time he left, another boy had walked in. Soon there were four boys in the room. There were two teachers there to help them.

One started the breathing exercises. “Inhaling deep,” he said aloud. “Lock your chin to your chest. Exhale and out.”
