It is reported that for many years, as a major town for population introduction and a new type of urban and rural town, Pujiang Town has always placed education in a strategic position of priority development. In recent years, the local government has taken the construction of a compact school district as the starting point, creating one park and three alliances, and striving to create more "good schools at home", forming the unique educational business card of Pujiang Town. According to the Implementation Opinions of Minhang District on Promoting High Quality Education Development released this time, Pujiang Town will strive to create a new pattern of regional education development by implementing the "123458" action plan, which includes one main line, two systems, three goals, four paths, five actions, and eight characteristics.
On that day, Qibao Middle School Pujiang Branch and Shangshi Junior High School held a new campus unveiling ceremony. It is understood that Pujiang Town will adhere to the concept of "providing diverse development opportunities for every child in Pujiang" and the idea of "deepening cooperation, multi-dimensional sharing, quality and efficiency guidance, and innovative exploration", increase the construction of high-quality education, and continuously explore paths and mechanisms that are in line with the characteristics of Pujiang's education development under the new situation.
It is reported that Qibao Middle School Pujiang Branch is located at 66 Yonggao Road, Minhang District, covering an area of 32784 square meters, with additional dormitories built next to the campus. In addition to setting up high standard subject classrooms, laboratories, art and sports venues, the school also reserves multiple spaces and will collaborate with universities and research institutes based on the actual situation of the school and the interests of students to explore the characteristics of new engineering disciplines and sub fields. This is the third school newly established by Qibao Middle School after Xindu Experiment, and also the first branch campus, actively exploring a new path of education under the framework of collectivization.
To ensure the high starting point and high-quality education of the school, starting from September 2023, the new semester of Qibao Middle School Pujiang Branch will be determined at No. 22 Nongnan Road, which is the main campus of Qibao Middle School. During the summer vacation, the first batch of high school students from the branch officially registered, and from the admission situation, they reached the score line of many key districts in Shanghai, laying the foundation for the high starting point education of this school.
The management team of Qibao Middle School will fully participate in the top-level design and subject selection guidance of the campus curriculum, combine Qibao's experience with the actual situation of the campus, solidly promote the implementation of compulsory and selective compulsory courses, design and develop "comprehensive+special needs" school-based courses suitable for the campus, and lay the foundation for the comprehensive development of students.
