Chapter 909: New Year's Gift 5

1.

The full name of the experimental junior high school that Chen Changping and Qian Jin said in their mouths is "Huxian Junior Experimental Middle School". The school is located in the western suburbs of Huxian County, adjacent to the Provincial Animal Husbandry School, covering an area of 300,000 square meters, with a construction area of 100,000 square meters and a total investment of 200 million yuan. The school started construction in 1997, and the school's capital construction project has been completed, and the construction of campus beautification and supporting facilities is underway, and it is expected to start recruiting students from the county in the summer of 2000.

According to the plan, after the completion of the school, it will be divided into three years and three batches in the county to select 200 outstanding teachers to teach in the experimental junior high school, the selection of students will also be for the county's outstanding graduates of the sixth grade of primary school, and it is planned to recruit a total of 60 teaching classes from the first to the third grade of the junior high school in three years, and the total number of students will reach more than 3,000 people.

After the completion of the school, it will be a junior high school with the most complete teaching facilities and the strongest teachers in Huxian County, and it will also be a gathering place for outstanding talents in Huxian County. Therefore, since the school began to prepare for construction in 1997, it has attracted the attention of many people. Among these concerned people are leaders at all levels of the Huxian county party committee and county government, cadres and teachers in the Huxian education system, as well as a large number of students and parents of students.

However, when the construction of the school was in full swing, the Huxian County Party Committee and the county government suddenly proposed in the 1999 government work plan to transform the soon-to-be-built experimental junior high school into a state-owned private school.

This decision of the Huxian County Party Committee and the county government has caused an uproar in Huxian County, and the private school has a "Yingzi Primary School" in Huxian County, which most people in Huxian County know. Yingzi Primary School is completely personal investment and personal management, subject to the supervision of the Huxian Education Bureau, and the students are included in the Huxian student registration management system, and the teachers are appointed and not included in the teacher management system of the Huxian Education Bureau. However, in the Huxian area, "state-owned and private-run" is a new thing, and many people have never even heard of it.

"State-owned and private" literally analyzed, that is, the fixed assets of the school are owned by the state or the collective, and the management power of the school belongs to the authorized principal or other agent, which is the most intuitive understanding for most people.

If that's the case, then there's a problem. First, since it is a "private school," it is a private school, and since it is a private school, why should the government invest? Should the government's investment be returned? Second, in what capacity does the principal or agent who is authorized to run the school appear? Does the principal or agent use the building facilities and teaching facilities in the school free of charge or rent them? What is the higher-level supervisory unit of the school? How much supervision and examination power does the supervisory unit have over the school? Finally, the question that the teachers of the Huxian education system are most concerned about is what is the identity of these outstanding teachers who have been selected to the experimental junior high school? Should they retain the teachers' career establishment or should they lose their "iron rice bowls" and switch to the appointment system? Will the teachers' salaries be paid by the government departments or by the schools independently? Is the salary higher or lower than the current one? And the question that students and their parents are most concerned about is how the selection of students will be carried out, and how much are the tuition and miscellaneous fees?

In the face of many questions and confusions, the Huxian County Government issued a special document in August 1999 to explain this.

First, the nature of the "state-owned and private" nature of the Huxian Junior Experimental Middle School remains unchanged, and the higher-level regulatory authority of the experimental junior high school is the Huxian Education Bureau. The school runs independently, and the Huxian County Education Bureau only provides guidance on the teaching work and routine audit of the finances of the experimental junior high school, and does not interfere in the personnel and other work arrangements of the experimental junior high school.

Second, the principal of Huxian Junior Experimental Middle School is the legal person of the experimental junior high school, responsible for the school's teaching and other administrative management, and the school's comprehensive management, teaching management, personnel allocation and management and use of school funds are all independent, and the government and the Education Bureau do not interfere in any way. The principals, management cadres and teachers selected by the school from within the Huxian education system do not change the identity of public institutions, and after being transferred from the experimental junior high school, they can still enter the Huxian primary and secondary school system and continue to enjoy the treatment of staff of public institutions.

Third, Huxian Junior Experimental Middle School implements a management system of private education and enjoys the greatest degree of autonomy, and the salaries of teachers and management cadres in the school are fixed and paid by the school, and the education bureau and government finances do not interfere. After the normal operation of the school, depending on the operation situation, the government will stop allocating office funds after one or three years, and the school will seek to continue to develop with social forces.

Fourth, the enrollment of Huxian Junior Experimental Middle School will be for the sixth-grade students in Huxian County, which will be jointly completed by the Huxian Education Bureau and Huxian Junior Experimental Middle School. Students attending the experimental junior high school will not enjoy the treatment of students in the compulsory education stage, but will have to pay all their own expenses. The tuition and miscellaneous fees will be accepted and approved by the Huxian Education Bureau and the Huxian Price Bureau, and will be approved by the Huxian Price Bureau.

The explanatory document specially issued by the Huxian County Government once again set off a heated discussion in Huxian County, and the focus of the people's concern is still the issue of tuition and miscellaneous fees. Is this experimental junior high school, which is about to be built to represent the highest standard of education in Huxian County, a civilian school or an aristocratic school? Will it charge high tuition fees like the non-run Yingzi Primary School? Some well-informed people have already inquired that such "state-owned private" schools in neighboring counties and cities generally practice high fees, ranging from 3,500 yuan to more than 10,000 yuan in tuition and miscellaneous fees each year. This is another staggering rumor, not to mention 10,000 yuan a year, that is, 35,000 yuan a year, how many people in the Huxian area can afford it?

As a member of the education system and an education officer on the ruling side, Qian Jin has studied the document on the Huxian Junior Experimental Middle School issued by the Huxian County Government in detail, and Qian Jin has also heard of all kinds of rumors in the mouths of the school teachers and ordinary people. However, whether it was the documents he had studied or the rumors he had heard, Qian Jin laughed it off.

Qian Jin always thought that these things were too far away from him, and it would take several years for his son to go to junior high school, and now the experimental junior high school had not yet started enrollment, and it was too early to plan for his son to go to school in advance. Although the document said that the experimental junior high school should hire principals and teachers for the whole county, Qian Jin thought that it was impossible for him to abandon the existing power in his hands and go to the experimental junior high school to become an ordinary teacher and apply for the principal of the experimental junior high school.

Now, Chen Changping suddenly threw out this topic at the wine table, how can he not let Qian Jin panic?
