Chapter 339: A little naïve and a little silly
According to the plan, our foundation will provide boarding subsidies of 500 yuan per year to boarding primary and secondary school students, which will cost about 150 million yuan. ”
"Although the funds are disbursed twice a year, with an interval of about six to seven months, it is also 75 million at a time, which is really very stressful for our fund. Zheng Jie said.
Don't look at the current Poplar Education Charity Foundation, there are still 139.5 million to use.
But some of that money has other uses.
"Because the main source of income for our foundation now is to rely on donations from you and your friends, but this source of funds is not stable, and we cannot grasp the future changes in funding. ”
As finance professionals, what they hate most is not being able to predict the cash flow of the group of companies in the future.
Hu Yang understood what she meant.
With the current strength of the foundation, this charitable program can be implemented.
In addition to the high financial pressure.
And more importantly, the program is effective and stable.
If it doesn't survive in a year or two, it will be a mess.
This is not what Hu Yang wants to see, nor is it what Guo Mingming and Zheng Jie want.
According to what Zheng Jie just said, if the foundation can have a stable source of income, then there is still a great possibility that this meritorious plan will be implemented.
"If I can provide a stable source of income for the foundation, this project will be possible, right?" Hu Yang asked Zheng Jie.
"Well, at least 150 million is needed every year, I wonder what channels the chairman has to fund this plan?"
Zheng Jie had to ask whether the source of funding provided by Populus euphratica was reliable, feasible and, most importantly, sustainable.
"My income!" said Hu Yang.
He knew he was stupid and naïve to do this.
But he couldn't watch the children in Tibetan areas drop out of school because of the hundreds of yuan in boarding fees when they should be studying.
Populus euphratica has long checked the data released by the state and Tibetan areas.
The per capita financial expenditure allocated by the state to students in Tibetan areas is the highest in the whole of China, and the per capita education expenditure for students in Tibetan areas is second only to the capital and the magic capital, and is 2.2 times the national average.
However, with such strong financial support from the state, it still gives people a feeling of poverty and backwardness.
Well, it's actually quite poor.
Especially ordinary herders,
Don't really think that the herdsmen are like the jokes circulating on the Internet: Do you see the white clouds halfway up the mountain? Those are all my sheep.
Yes, but the proportions are really small.
Compare it with the metropolis.
There are a lot of rich people, but more of them are not moving bricks and working for landlords......
From the above data, we can analyze that the state's support for education in Tibetan areas is still relatively large.
It's just that because the Tibetan area itself is relatively weak in terms of financial self-reliance, it cannot be compared with other places.
As a result, education funds are largely supported by the state, but they are unable to provide corresponding funds to schools in the district.
This is why, with such strong support from the state, education in Tibetan areas still gives people the impression that they are very backward.
The fundamental reason is that the unique natural and geographical environment of Tibetan areas makes the construction and operating costs of boarding schools high.
For example, teachers' salaries and benefits can account for more than half of the education budget.
It's a terrible thing and an extremely dangerous proportion.
But it can't be helped, if you want to keep the talent, keep those teachers here, you have to do it.
After all, many times in addition to ideals, it is more about survival.
That's right, it's survival and not life.
In this case, the subsidy for the student will naturally not be able to do anything.
Even if there were, the force was very small.
In addition, due to the vast and sparsely populated Tibetan area, some students' homes are nearly 200 kilometers away from the school, can you imagine?
Before going to Tibet, Populus euphratica had never thought about such a situation.
It wasn't college, it wasn't high school, it was junior high school.
It is conceivable that when Hu Yang knew about it, he was stunned.
Completely unimaginable.
In this case, it is already remarkable for a child to be able to meet twice a semester.
The vast majority of them do not go home until the end of the semester when the semester starts.
The high cost of education is beyond the reach of many families in Tibetan areas.
Because the state has implemented nine-year compulsory education, students still need to pay for accommodation, food, etc.
It is precisely for this reason that many children in Tibetan areas drop out of school after completing primary school.
It's not that I don't want to read, it's that the family can't support it financially.
In the small village of Ali in Tibet, Populus euphratica would sometimes secretly give some money to the children who went to middle school in the area.
so that they may have enough to eat and not go hungry.
At first, he thought about this problem, but at that time, due to the death of his wife, he was not interested in everything around him.
At that time, it was really a bit like being born without love.
Plus he never thought he would leave Tibet one day.
It wasn't until a regional document calling for schools with insufficient teachers and students to revoke their mergers that he left Tibetan areas and returned to the metropolis.
Old thoughts also resurfaced in Poplar's mind.
He thought of the children who had a thirst for knowledge but had to leave school early for family reasons.
Hu Yang wanted to help them as much as he could.
Not for what, and not for anything.
Just trying to help them.
..........
Zheng Jie heard Hu Yang say that he would use his income as a source of funds for the implementation of the plan.
I couldn't help but look shocked.
Previously, Hu Yang said that he would donate a part of his income to the foundation every year to maintain the continuous and effective implementation of charitable activities.
She also budgeted for tens of millions to 100 million per year.
But he never thought that Populus euphratica would have such "courage" to use his income to support a charity project with an annual funding need of at least 150 million yuan.
Suddenly, she felt that Populus euphratica was really a little silly.
It's a bit silly.
Who would be like this?
Even Guo Mingming looked at this senior brother in shock.
Not at all expected.
Hu Yang ignored their gaze and asked in a deep voice again, "If my income is used as a support, is it feasible?"
"Yes. ”
"Chairman, are you really going to do this? Is it worth it?"
Zheng Jie couldn't help but ask.
"There's nothing worth it, you ask the firefighters who rushed into the fire, is it worth it? Hu Yang smiled softly.
"Well, maybe it's my brain. He added.
To be honest, he himself felt quite stupid and naïve.
