Xinzhuang Senior High School provides distance English courses

In the “Rural English Distance Learning Program” at Xinzhuang High School in New Taipei City, students studying in their 1st to 3rd years take responsibility for tutoring elementary school students in the countryside. The high school students prepare their own teaching materials, plan the course syllabus, and use their own after-school time to provide tutoring via online video calls. The course gives children from poorly resourced schools in rural areas the opportunity to get immediate answers to things they don’t understand at school. 

The distance learning program is already in its 2nd year and student enthusiasm remains as strong as ever, with a second batch of high school students trained and ready to continue the teaching. It is hoped that the program can reduce education inequality between rural and urban areas and pass on positive educational energy.

     新北市新莊高中的學生，進行「偏鄉英語遠距教學課輔計畫」，由高一到高三的學生，擔任偏鄉小學生的大學伴。這群高中生自己準備教材，並且規劃課程，再利用放學後的時間，透過網路視訊連線進行課後輔導，讓較缺乏教育資源的偏鄉學童，可以利用這個機會，提出平常上課不懂的地方，並且即時獲得解答。

    新莊高中進行這項計畫已經邁入第二年，熱心參與的同學不減，現已培養出第二批大學伴繼續為偏鄉小學上課，希望藉由這樣的方式，減少城鄉差距，也傳承教育的正能量。
