A few days ago, some parents reported that the class capacity of Xindu School in Jizhou District, Hengshui seriously exceeded the standard. More than 10000 junior high school sophomores are divided into 88 classes, one class has nearly 120 people, and the table space is only more than 20 cm. "Unsafe, especially unsafe!" The parents of the students questioned that they could not evacuate in case of emergency. On September 3, the Education and Sports Bureau of Jizhou District reported that Xindu School had been ordered to immediately rectify the existing problems and make a deep inspection to restore the class capacity to the pre upgrade class size.

The reason for the phenomenon of "super class" is that there are too many school-age students, and the education investment is insufficient and uneven, which cannot meet the general demand of society for high-quality education resources. Hengshui Middle School is a famous "super high school", which can be called "college entrance examination factory". It has formed an industry, and people are flocking to it. It is no surprise that "super classes" appear. In the face of this phenomenon, simply "rectifying" the class size may only "cure the head and foot". Without solving the fundamental problem, "super class" will appear next year. In order to crack the "super class", it is essential to vigorously promote education reform, including a comprehensive and thorough reform of education resource input, teacher allocation, teaching evaluation means, etc., to break the Matthew effect of education, truly realize the balanced distribution of education resources, thereby reducing or even eliminating school selection. Only in this way can students enter school closer to home in a more balanced way, enjoy basically equal educational resources, and finally participate in fair selection for further education.
