The largest public primary school in Yangpu District. Kongjiang No.2 Village Primary School, Yangpu District, Shanghai, referred to as Konger Primary School, was established in 1953. The school covers an area of 23,662 square meters, with a construction area of 9,915 square meters, complete facilities, and more than 20 special classrooms such as gymnasium, reading room, art room, music room, and computer room. In addition, because Konger Primary School is a science and technology characteristic school, it also has a science and technology innovation center and an innovation experience room that are rare in ordinary schools.
In terms of teachers, Konger Primary School has a strong strength. The school has a total of three special teachers, and has set up two expert studios, special teacher Zhou Zhongliang studio and Wang Luyan class teacher studio, not only for Yangpu District, but also for Shanghai to train a number of excellent science and technology instructors and class teachers. As of 2017, Konger Primary School has a total of 102 full-time teachers, including 62 teachers with intermediate and senior professional titles, 5 municipal famous teacher training objects, 5 district-level backbone teachers, and 4 district subject leaders distributed in Chinese, mathematics, art and other subjects.
As one of the earliest schools in Shanghai to carry out creative education practice activities, as well as a well-known science and technology characteristic school in Yangpu District, at least one student from Konger Primary School is elected as a "Little Academician" every year, and by 2017, there are 16 young academicians of the National and Shanghai Academy of Sciences. This is inseparable from the school's emphasis on science and technology education. In the past two years, Konger Primary School has hired many university teachers to provide guidance in various science and technology clubs in the school. The school has also set up a robotics team, which has repeatedly won good results in the Shanghai Youth Robot Sports Competition.
In order to implement the school's scientific and technological characteristics to the end, Konger Primary School will hold a science and technology festival every year. The festival is held in different grades, with each grade having a different theme each year. During the science and technology festival, there are also popular science lectures, creative competitions, popular science book exhibitions, science fiction story meetings, etc., which last for more than a month. In addition, Konger Primary School will also hold art festivals, math weeks, science lectures and other activities, and students' extracurricular activities are rich and colorful.
Kongjiang Junior High School, the counterpart of Konger Primary School, ranks lower than average among public schools, and many parents do not want their children to enter the school. And because the curriculum of Konger Primary School is not difficult and the amount of homework is not much, many parents sign up for extracurricular tutoring classes for their children, so it can be said that "the learning of children in Konger basically depends on their parents". Every year, more than a dozen students from Konger Primary School are promoted to Lansheng Fudan, and the school's private junior high school admission rate is relatively high.
