Despite all the difficulties, the NSE reform this year will begin in grade 5, as previously planned. The curriculum will be new, but some problems are old. For example, student overload. And it will intensify with online learning, when schoolchildren spend hours in front of gadget screens.. Why and what to do, Mikhail Devdera explained in the ZN article. UA “Overload with lessons at school: what to do?

So, according to the standard curriculum in the fifth grade there were 13 subjects, the sixth - 15, the seventh - 18, the eighth - 17, the ninth - 18. At the same time, the current MES approves the Model Educational Program (TEP) for grades 5-9, according to which there are 13 academic disciplines in the 5th grade, 14 in the sixth grade, 15 in the seventh grade, and 19 in the eighth and ninth grades..

At the same time, the “Sanitary Regulations for General Secondary Education Institutions” approved by the Ministry of Health repeat the old norms for organizing the lesson process (duration of lessons, breaks, homework, conditions for the use of TKN). And the applications include what is prescribed by the new educational program, first of all, the number of subjects and the amount of time to study them. This is now the norm of the Sanitary Regulations.

“It seems that these sanitary standards were written on the basis of a typical educational program of the Ministry of Education and Science, although from the point of view of logic, everything should be just the opposite,” said Devdera.

The author also draws attention to the fact that in the \; productive lessons of the day - second, third, fourth.

“So it turns out that favorable conditions for only nine lessons out of 36 weeks. In the ninth grade (according to the standard educational program), this number should include three lessons of Ukrainian (the UPE has not yet been canceled) and two foreign (in all respects - perhaps the most difficult of the subjects) languages \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200band another 5 lessons of mathematics. This is already 10, not 9,” the author writes..

At the same time, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, computer science (this is a total of 11 hours) will not be pressed into this schedule. It turns out that they need to be given either on unproductive days, or during unproductive hours, when students are simply no longer able to work normally.. And already for the " For these disciplines are entirely “entertainment”, and not a productive learning activity..

“It doesn’t take much intelligence to come to the conclusion, taking into account the indicators of hygiene rules that I have purely outlined: most of the 36 weekly lessons are doomed to be held at a time that, for one reason or another, is not favorable for productive study work.. But they will constantly take away the life resource of schoolchildren almost more than productive lessons,” said Devdera.

Therefore, the first thing the author would advise to do is to see and honestly admit that our students found themselves in very unfavorable conditions.. These conditions in themselves increasingly impair the performance of their educational activities and destroy health, which is already not very much..

“Second: to bring the educational process to optimal parameters, if only because of the promised integration of several subjects into one. Third: we teach children to cope with information stress and overload, to protect themselves from them not by running away from the educational process (now almost 80% of “applicants” do this), but by a reasonable settlement of their participation in it. But we do this not through the introduction of another “subject”, but through the effective and attractive organization of the daily activities of educational institutions at any moment of this activity..

So that every school graduate leaves the walls of an educational institution not as “stuffed fish”, but as a spiritually and physically developed person capable of a full life,” Devdera summed up.

Recall, according to preliminary information, training in schools will be held in person, and during an alarm, lessons will continue in shelters.. The Ministry of Internal Affairs outlined the situation with the readiness of establishments for enemy strikes.
