Chapter 20: The Lottery
The review of Shen Wenwen's report opened the prelude to the regular meeting of the members of the Education Bureau.
This is the longest regular meeting ever held by the Education Bureau.
Shen Wenxue, who is far away on the island, does not know that her report is just an opportunity, and many changes have been made to promote educational equity in the education of Taoli City, the first point is that one article will be included in the enrollment opinions of urban junior high schools in Taoli City in the fall of the new year: graduates who have studied in Yinshan Central Primary School for six consecutive years can directly enter Taoli No. 1 Middle School.
Taoli No. 1 Middle School, which is a school that countless parents want their children to attend, but the threshold for enrollment is quite high, and they need to have an urban hukou to get a lottery opportunity. Buying a house and moving to a home is a stop for many, and for parents on the island, it's impossible.
And now, this thing that people on the island don't even dare to dream of is included in the draft of Taoli City's opinions on the enrollment of junior high schools in the new autumn, lying on the desk of President Han Ke.
Principal Han Ke called the dean of education and counselors, pointed to this article on the draft for comments, and said happily: "What other opinions do you have? This is simply pie in the sky!"
The dean of teaching was happy, but he was still a little uneasy: "Headmaster, do you think this opinion will be rejected by others?"
Principal Han Ke shook his head and said firmly: "Reading is a good thing, and it is a merit to be able to help the children on the island to read, and no one will object, and since it has been written in the draft for comments, presumably the leaders of the Education Bureau have carefully considered it, and soliciting everyone's opinions is just a process." ”
The 50-year-old counselor's face was full of happy chrysanthemums, and he said: "I can tell the good news to the teachers and students of the whole school in advance, especially the students of the sixth grade graduating class this year, they have a good time." ”
As a result, the school leaders couldn't wait for the finalization of the enrollment work at the beginning of the second year, so they shared the good news with the school.
Shen Wenxue was not as happy as Du Yunshu, but he was also secretly proud. She knew that the good news was personally driven by her.
That day, in the corridor of the People's Theater, Hua Jianmin and Yan Yuese said to her: "Go back and wait for news." ”
"Hopefully," she replied, "that's good news." ”
Sure enough, it's good news.
"Teacher, do you know the good news?" When school ended, Mo Xiaotong found Shen Wenxue, who was scavenging on the beach, and asked.
Shen Wenxue did not stop what she was doing, she dragged a winding branch up from the seawater, took off the bead string in her hand and hung it on the branch, and said to Mo Xiaotong: "That news is as beautiful as this work." ”
But Mo Xiaotong didn't feel happy: "When I go to the city to study, I have to leave my sister." ”
Shen Wenwen shuddered, she patted Mo Xiaotong's head in understanding, the height of the young man was already close to her.
"If you don't go to No. 1 Middle School, you have to leave your sister if you go to a middle school in another township. Don't worry, my sister has a grandmother, and I and Teacher Du!" Shen Wenxue's smile was like a warm sun, dazzling but not burning.
Mo Xiaotong had a relieved expression on his face, and he smiled and showed his big white teeth: "Teacher Shen, thank you......!
The word "love" couldn't be spoken, and the young man felt numb and blushed.
Seeing the young man's sudden shy side, Shen Wenxue smiled "poof" and instructed: "When the time comes to go to No. 1 Middle School, you must work hard and work hard, only by studying hard and being admitted to a good university is your way out." ”
Mo Xiaotong wanted to nod, but he refused to be optimistic.
He has lost his mother, his father is unreliable, and his relatives have their own difficulties, although he likes to study, but what about money? Although it is a nine-year compulsory education and tuition and miscellaneous fees are exempted, how can he succeed if he wants to get good grades in the exams without rich practice materials? He needs money to buy materials, and he needs money for accommodation, food, and Lazar in school!
Shen Wenxue once again said softly: "Little boy, Teacher Du and I will help you." ”
"Teacher, I can't keep you ......"
"We will help you find entrepreneurs and big bosses who are willing to help students, the teacher believes that there are still many good people in this world, as long as you are willing to learn, willing to learn, there will be someone willing to help you, Xiaotong, you have to believe in a sentence - God helps self-helpers, a person only if he does not give up on himself, self-improvement, others can help you, otherwise, if you give up on yourself, even if others are willing to pull you, you don't know where your hand is. ”
The earnest teaching of the young female teacher is like the spring breeze in April, and the young man only feels enlightened.
I still remember that I was not a self-improvement and diligent student in the past, he used to be a native of the island, he was also naughty, but also mischievous, he didn't like to listen to lectures in class, he didn't like to write homework when he went home, his mother had a headache, the teacher was disgusted, when he was in the third grade, Teacher Shen came, she looked so good, like a fairy in the sky; her character was so good, she always spoke to him gently, he made mistakes, even if it was intentional, she wouldn't pick up a whip; her class was so interesting, he didn't want to listen to it, but he couldn't help but listen to it, just like a dandelion was blown by the wind and flew happily……
Teacher Shen is so good, so good that if he makes any mistakes, he can't get over his own hurdle.
Teacher Shen is the person he wants to protect the most in this world, except for his mother and sister, but his father does it to Teacher Shen. The boy absolutely couldn't bear it, so even if Teacher Shen didn't pursue his father, the boy still insisted on prosecuting, and the cruel man must be punished in prison.
Everyone should take responsibility for what they have done. These are the words that Teacher Shen taught him, and he took it to heart.
While Mo Xiaotong and Shen Wenxue were happily scavenging on the island together, Hua Jianmin was attending the mayor's office meeting.
According to the relevant provisions of the mayor's office meeting system of Taoli Municipal People's Government, the mayor's office meeting shall be held from time to time as needed, and the first item of the meeting topic is that the mayor believes that it is necessary to preside over the important work items arranged by the study, and the topics to be submitted to the mayor's office meeting for research can be determined by the mayor's oral or written instructions.
The convening of this mayor's office meeting originated from a secret conversation between Hua Jianmin and the mayor a short time ago.
On that day, it was very late, the comrades of the entire city government building had left work, and the mayor was still working overtime. Hua Jianmin opened the door of the mayor's office with an opinion on the enrollment of new primary school freshmen in Taoli City in the fall of the new year.
This brand-new opinion on the enrollment of new primary school freshmen in the autumn of the new year in Taoli City was released after several days and nights of discussion and repeated argumentation and revision between the head of the Elementary Education Unit of the Education Bureau and Hua Jianmin.
In the past, this kind of enrollment work opinion only needs to be reviewed by the deputy mayor in charge of education in the first half of the year, but now, Hua Jianmin submitted this enrollment work opinion, not to mention skipping the level, and even the time has advanced a lot.
Hua Jianmin pointed to one of the opinions on the enrollment work and explained the special reason to the mayor. It turned out that the new director of education had a new big move on education, and the "zoning enrollment and computer random lottery admission" in the enrollment opinions had never been seen in the past Taoli City Primary School freshman enrollment work opinions.
In this enrollment opinion, it is clearly pointed out that this article is an enrollment method for the school-age children of migrants, including the school-age children of migrant workers from rural areas to cities.
"Director Hua, although you are now the director of the Education Bureau, there are many conventional practices in the education industry, and if you rashly make a big move less than half a year after you first took office, it is easy to create stumbling blocks for yourself. The mayor's words were tactful, but Hua Jianmin's heart was like a mirror.
With the popularization of education, parents pay more and more attention to education, and it has become the consensus of parents to let their children receive a good education. However, the educational resources are unbalanced, there are more monks and less porridge, and parents try every means to squeeze their children into high-quality schools like Taoli Experimental Primary School. In order to enter an experimental primary school in a county-level city, some parents were able to intercede with the leaders of the Department of Education. At the same time, the parents sighed "pity the hearts of parents in the world", that is, the leading cadres at all levels are not very disturbed, and there are always some relatives of seven aunts and eight aunts who come to touch them.
"Mayor, if this enrollment reform is successfully implemented, it will indeed offend some people, but as the director of education, I have to do it, adopt the lottery method, at least let the children of migrant workers and ordinary people have a little chance to enter high-quality schools and enjoy high-quality educational resources. ”
Indeed, the children of migrant workers who rely on manual work, and the children of ordinary families, have no chance at all because their parents cannot find reliable relationships and enjoy high-quality educational resources.
"We are cadres, but also public servants, if we sincerely and earnestly seek benefits and interests for the masses, no matter how big the difficulties, we should find ways to overcome them, mayor, this is what you said to me when I took office, I have always remembered it. ”
Hua Jianmin's reasoning was straight and firm, and the mayor quickly organized this mayor's office meeting and presided over it in person.
In the past, the mayor's office meeting only needed to be attended by the deputy mayor, the director of the municipal government office, the head of the department and the head of the relevant department of the municipal government office, but this time, the mayor invited several members of the Standing Committee of Taoli City to participate in it, which was unprecedented.
At the beginning of the meeting, the mayor clarified the purpose of the meeting and asked Hua Jianmin to distribute the draft of the enrollment work to the participants at the meeting.
Before the draft was sent to everyone, a leader stood up and objected: "I don't agree with the lottery, this matter must not be done like this!"
It was a member of the Standing Committee who spoke.
