基于部分中小学生周六空闲时间过多、家长无暇照料的现实矛盾,日本政府重新展开对“周六课堂”的探索。该项目在整合、利用社会资源的同时注重为儿童创设多元教育环境,消减周五日制的弊端。由日本文部科学省、大学、社区、企业等构成的“志愿者联盟”是此次改革的一大亮点,真正意义上践行了日本“全民办教育”的理念。“周六课堂”为我国基础教育改革提供了有益经验。 Based on the fact that some primary and secondary school students have too much spare time on Saturday and the parents have no time to take care of themselves, the Japanese government has re-opened its exploration of “Saturday Classroom.” While integrating and using social resources, the project also focuses on creating a multi-dimensional education environment for children and alleviating the shortcomings of Friday day system. The “Volunteers Alliance” formed by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Technology, universities, communities and enterprises is a major highlight of this reform. In the true sense, the concept of “private education” has been practiced in Japan. “Saturday Classroom ” has provided useful experience for the reform of basic education in our country.
