These days,The consortium of Shanghai High School and Huayu obtained the authorization of "Qiuban"The news sparked heated discussions among parents. Is this true? Good news is here. It’s confirmed!

On the afternoon of August 17,The internationally renowned mathematician, Professor Shing-Tung Yau, authorized seven middle schools to open"Yau Shing-Tung Junior Class"，The awarding ceremony was held in the lecture hall of Shanghai Institute of Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Studies. The Qiu Chengtong Junior Class emphasizes the integrated training of junior high school and high school, focusing on giving full play to the advantages of collaborative education between universities and middle schools, so as to discover and cultivate outstanding innovative young talents in basic disciplines for the country earlier.

The consortium of Shangzhong and Huayu obtained the authorization of "Qiuban"

The seven middle schools that received the plaques are Chongqing Nankai Middle School, Yunnan Normal University Affiliated Middle School, Tianjin No. 1 Middle School, Chengdu Jinjiang District Jiaxiang Foreign Language Senior High School, Jiangxi Normal University Affiliated Middle School, andA consortium consisting of Shanghai High School and Shanghai Private Huayu Middle School。

In his speech at the awarding ceremony, Qiu Chengtong said that the cultivation of top talents in basic disciplines should start from the middle school stage. Throughout history, most of the mathematics masters developed a strong interest in mathematics at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and received guidance from famous teachers, and eventually became masters. "The cultivation of students should start from the basics, and middle schools play a very important role. Middle school education can fundamentally change the cultivation of mathematics talents, allowing our children to receive guidance from good teachers when they are interested in mathematics at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and master basic mathematical knowledge and mathematical tools, which will be of great benefit to their future studies in college." Over the past two decades, China has made great changes in the degree of attention paid to mathematics, and has made positive efforts to promote the development of China's mathematics discipline. However, the current cultivation of top talents in the basic education stage still faces the problem of a shortage of high-quality middle school mathematics teachers. It is hoped that through the joint efforts of the middle schools awarded the Qiu Chengtong Junior Class across the country, the strength of teachers can be improved, which will have a positive impact on China's mathematics education.

Qiu Chengtong speaks at the awarding ceremony

Qiu Chengtong has full confidence in the ability of young Chinese students. He mentioned that the students of Tsinghua University Qiuzhen College were very young when they first entered university, but after three years of study, they grew up quickly. Some of the knowledge points that students talk about are relatively profound for university teachers, so we must fully believe in the potential of children and provide support and guarantee for their growth.

Qiu Chengtong believes thatThe opening of the junior class will provide a good platform for more students who love mathematics and have potential in mathematics and physics.He encouraged the students of the Qiu Chengtong Junior Class to study hard, believe in themselves, seize the current opportunities, and lead China's science to the world's leading level in the future and live up to the country's expectations.

The third round of selection and enrollment for Huaer No. 2 "Qiu Class" has been completed

As the first school in Shanghai to open the "Qiu Class", the Second Affiliated High School of East China Normal University has completed the selection and enrollment of the third Qiu Chengtong Experimental Class. Each class recruits 25 students from the whole city, targeting primary school graduates with special skills in mathematics and physics. Generally, they need the recommendation of the primary school principal or self-recommendation, and are selected for admission after evaluation by experts.

Zhou Bin, principal of the Second Affiliated Middle School of East China Normal University, said in an interview with the media:The establishment of the "Qiu Class" is not to "pick the best" or select excellent students too early, but to summarize and explore a law of talent training.There is indeed a special group of students who are very interested in and good at certain subjects or fields. The establishment of "Qiu Class" is to leave a "window" for students with special talents and "add a yardstick" in the evaluation system under the educational philosophy of encouraging students' all-round development.

"Students in the Qiu class do have special talents in mathematics, but we must also admit that, apart from their talent in mathematics, they are no different from ordinary junior high school students in other aspects."

Principal Zhou Bin said that the selection process is important for early identification of top innovative talents, such as the school's dialogue with students and observation of students to understand their agility of thinking. This kind of reaction ability cannot be completely obtained through off-campus training, practice questions, etc. In the selection process of the "Qiu Class", it is more important for students to have good reaction ability and even good test scores.

The "Qiuban" selects children with certain qualities.，Rather than training children who are ahead of their timeIf the latter enters the "Qiu class", it will harm him to some extent, because he does not have the same characteristics as other classmates, and he will find it difficult to study in the future, which is not good for his physical and mental growth. What parents need to do is to observe and understand their children's growth attributes and choose the right track for their children.

What is the “Qiu Cheng-Tung Junior Class”?

In order to discover and cultivate young talents with potential and help China's mathematics career move towards excellence, starting from 2021, Mr. Shing-Tung Yau, an outstanding mathematician and dean of Tsinghua University's Qiuzhen College, will personally initiate and authorize some high-quality middle schools to hold the "Shing-Tung Yau Junior Class". Through a model that connects junior high school and high school, and links college and high school, the class will fully develop students' mathematical and scientific strengths, take into account general education, and promote students' individuality and all-round development.

What will be the future academic direction of “Qiuban”?

Students of the Qiu Chengtong Junior Class can take the following paths for further study:

Qiu Chengtong Mathematical Science Leadership Talent Training Program

According to the 2024 Qiu Chengtong Mathematical Science Leadership Talent Training Program announced by Tsinghua University, the selection targets are from the third year of junior high school to the third year of high school from the mainland. Mainland students who are shortlisted and pass the preparatory examination can be exempted from the college entrance examination and directly admitted to Tsinghua University Qiuzhen College.

Qiu Chengtong Mathematics Talent Class

Students can also apply for the Qiuzhen Academy of Tsinghua University's "Qiu Chengtong Mathematics Talent Class" when they are in their second or third year of high school. In previous years, students who were shortlisted had to register for the college entrance examination. Among them, students in the second year of high school must hold the "Qiu Chengtong Mathematics Talent Class" shortlisted certification issued by Tsinghua University that year to register for the college entrance examination in their province. The score requirements set by the school must be met when enrolled.

After winning the corresponding ranking in the subject competition, students can be recommended to Tsinghua University, Peking University and other universities. For example, the "Tsinghua University 2024 "Qiu Chengtong Mathematics Talent Class" Admissions Measures" clearly states that the members of the national training team for the subject Olympiad competition for middle school students among the shortlisted students do not need to take the college entrance examination to meet the admission requirements of our school.

Strong Foundation Plan

Before the college entrance examination, students can also apply for the Strong Foundation Plan and enter the high-level university of their choice.

College Entrance Examination

Students can take the college entrance examination normally and be admitted to other domestic universities based on their college entrance examination scores.

A total of 46 secondary schools nationwide have been authorized
