地处宜昌市中心城区的西陵区,由于历史的原因,学校教育用地离国家标准尚有一定差距。特别是红星路小学(生均校园面积3.8平方米、生均校舍面积2.6平方米)、东方红小学(生均校园面积6.5平方米、生均校舍面积3.5平方米)等几所学校,学校周边居民密集,地形复杂,由于建校时学校没有强制性规范,在规划时缺乏长远的考虑,校园面积一直狭小,虽然后来教育局做了多方努力,几次欲为学校征地以扩大校园面积,但都没有取得显著效果。这些学校被市民戏称为“麻雀学校”。 Due to historical reasons, there is still a long way to go before the national standard for school education is used. In particular, Hongxing Road Primary School (Health and education campus area of ​​3.8 square meters, students are school area of ​​2.6 square meters), Dongfanghong Primary School (students are 6.5 square meters campus area, students average school area of ​​3.5 square meters) and several schools, schools around Due to the densely populated and complicated terrain, the school lacks long-term consideration in planning and the school area has been narrow. Although various efforts were later made by the Education Bureau and several attempts were made to expand the campus area by levying schools, Did not achieve significant results. These schools are joked by the public as “Sparrow School ”.
