The following are the topics of the debate competition and the positive and negative framework ideas designed for you, which are suitable for academic debate activities in colleges and universities or senior high schools.： --- ### Debate topic **"Our country should abolish basic education at the compulsory education stage and concentrate resources to develop elite education"** --- ###Zhengfang Point of view (advocating abolition)： 1. **Resource optimization theory** -The current input-output ratio of basic education is low, and the per capita cost of education in remote areas is too high. -Concentrating resources to cultivate top talents can accelerate scientific and technological innovation (example: Qian Xuesen's question) -Big data shows that 80% of the world's top 100 scientists come from the elite education system 2. **Stratification of Education** -Compulsory education leads to "false equality" and masks individual differences -Finnish case: After canceling the subject classification, the quality of talents will be improved. -Establish a "intelligent screening + special training" mechanism to better meet modern needs 3. **Technical alternative** - Online education platform can replace 90% of basic knowledge points -Blockchain technology enables personalized learning path certification -Standardization of basic education hinders ability training in the AI era 4. **Economic model support** -Nobel Laureate Heckman pointed out that concentrated investment in high-potential groups has increased the ROI by 300%.% -The phenomenon of "pepper noodles" in educational resources in developing countries has led to a brain drain --- ### Opposition view (against repeal)： 1. **The cornerstone of social stability maintenance** -Basic education is the only channel for class mobility (Harvard University research: The number of years of education is positively related to income) -For every 1% increase in the literacy rate of the whole people, the crime rate drops by 2.7% (data from the World Bank) 2. **Talent discovery mechanism** -The proportion of late-maturing talents reached 34% (tracking research by the University of Cambridge) -Einstein, Hua Luogeng, etc. are not products of early elite education 3. **National strategic needs** - German dual system proof foundation + Elite parallel possibility -Education for all in Israel creates a country of scientific and technological innovation 4. **Economic feedback effect** -There is a positive correlation between basic education and GDP growth of 0.78 (OECD data) -The overall quality of the labor force determines the ceiling of industrial upgrading --- ####Design highlights： 1. **Data confrontational** Both sides can cite authoritative statistics to form a real academic confrontation 2. **Combination point of the times** Integrate into the discussion of cutting-edge technologies such as AI education and meta-universe teaching 3. **Value conflict** In-depth discussion on the philosophical proposition of "educational fairness vs. efficiency" 4. **Policy** Both parties are required to propose alternative solutions (such as education voucher system, hierarchical taxation, etc.) --- ### Recommended competition system (refer to the International College Debate Competition)： -The stage of establishment: clearly define the scope of "basic education" (it is recommended to be limited to K9) -Free debate: need to respond to the reliability of the opponent's data sources -Closing debate link: must include feasibility path analysis --- This topic has enough room for controversy, which can not only show the data analysis ability of the debater, but also test its level of social value judgment, which is in line with the hot topic of contemporary education reform discussion. Participants need to be reminded to pay attention to the essential differences between the "abolition system" and the "reform model".
