Chapter 194: Nanping Education is Difficult
If we want to change the backward education in Nanping, if we want to keep up with the education of the developed coastal cities, and if we want to change the backward and poor situation in a region, we must increase investment in education, and the investment in primary schools, junior high schools, especially high schools, and technical secondary schools.
The current situation of Nanping high school is very backward, there are only 8 high schools in the city, not to mention 9 years of compulsory education, 100 primary school students, only 60 can enter junior high school, and only a dozen of 60 junior high school students enter high school. For family reasons, or serious overcrowding in high school, each class is organized according to the large class of 80 students. There simply simply aren't so many school resources to accept the abilities of junior high school graduates. After a few years, only 10 out of 100 elementary school students can enter high school, which is a frightening high elimination rate. It's not a fair elimination, it's a helpless elimination. The high school entrance examination is a unified test question in the province. According to the score line, take Nanping High School as an example, there are 80 students in each class of 8 classes in the first year of high school (some classes exceed several places). The number of students enrolled is 650. The admission score line of Nanping High School is much higher than that of ordinary high schools, that is to say, Nanping is a key high school, which is a limited selection of students, and it is the turn of the other 7 high schools to pick the rest. But that's the cut-off score. The score line is too far from that of developed regions, and only 260 students exceed this score line. The remaining enrollment quota of Nanping High School is those commission trainees, that is, students who have to pay sponsorship fees, and each student who has not reached the score line, or has reached the score line and has been squeezed down, wants to enter Nanping High School, then they need to pay 8,000 yuan of commission training fees.
For this additional fee, the burden on ordinary families is not ordinarily heavy, not to mention the tuition fee of 2,000 yuan per semester, and the minimum living expenses of 300 yuan per month. To train a high school student, you need at least tens of thousands of yuan per year. Three years is 30,000 yuan. This is the minimal. If you add the commission fee, then it will be more than 40,000 yuan.
40,000 is a huge burden for ordinary people in a poor place. This is why, in Nanping, like that pig food, many students eat it, and they don't add extra vegetables, which is poor. Many families are super-born families, and even families with only one child are difficult to support. Not to mention that many families have superbirths, that is, families where the student has several siblings. The traditional idea of patriarchy, as well as the idea of more men. As a result, many families have several babies.
As mentioned earlier, the land has not changed for decades, that is, the land has not been divided since the early 80s, except for the land once, and the land has not been divided since. In the past, the land was basically owned by grandfathers, grandmothers, in-laws, and uncles. A teenager and a half-year-old boy is now a father. There are even grandfathers. Assigned to the teenage boy at the time, the land under his name was just 2 acres of paddy fields and 3 acres of mountainous land. But more than 20 years have passed, and he has given birth to 3 boys and 1 girl, and if the girl is a girl, he will not occupy the share of the family's land if he marries. But the three boys are now grown up, the eldest and the second are also married (they got married early, most of them got married in their early 20s), the third is in high school, and the daughter is in junior high school. The eldest gave birth to 3 babies, so he split up, and the second gave birth to 2 babies and also split up. The mother-in-law who married back was a mouth for the family. In this way, the eldest and the second family were divided, and the belongings of the big boy of the year were divided, 2 acres of paddy fields, 3 acres of mountainous land, and a homestead, which was divided into 5 points. After all, there are still two younger siblings who are studying? This older boy has developed into a family in more than 20 years. 1 mother-in-law, 3 sons, 1 daughter to be married, 2 daughters-in-law, 5 grandchildren, and a large family of 13. 2 acres of paddy fields and 3 acres of mountainous land, it is really difficult to feed so many people. Not to mention that he is now in his 50s, he also has to provide for a high school student and a junior high school student. 2 acres of paddy fields and 3 acres of mountainous land were divided into 5 points, and 2 points were given to the eldest and the second part. This is a really heavy burden on him. 8 points of paddy fields, 1.2 acres of mountainous land to support myself and my mother-in-law, 3 sons who go to high school, and daughters who go to junior high school, really Alexander. This is not a migrant worker appeared, this father went to work in other places. Think about the third son's annual tuition and miscellaneous fees of tens of thousands, the daughter also has to be a few thousand, and have to support herself and her mother-in-law, the burden is really heavy, after the separation of this bit of land 8 points is less than an acre of paddy field, the rice produced is barely enough to eat, 1.2 acres of mountainous land planted longan, but in the past two years, the price of longan is cheap, not enough fertilizer and pesticide money, simply abandoned.
Not to mention that it is necessary to provide tens of thousands of colleges for a college student, it is even more of a burden of vomiting blood. Even a high school student is struggling. Fortunately, my son is angry and does not spend money indiscriminately, except for food expenses, buying some toothpaste, laundry detergent, etc., he wears school uniforms at school and does not buy other coats. can barely be offered.
The level of education in Nanping is related to the investment of the local government and the money bags of the local people. Xiang Ming is a great good person, a good person who worries about the country and the people. He is working hard to change the status quo in all aspects of Nanping. Poverty alleviation and prosperity, to become well-off, this is a great dream, Xiang Ming is working in this direction. Xiang Ming's initial plan is to increase the proportion of high school students. Xiang Ming has done a good job in primary schools, building 50 hope primary schools in the Nanping Xiang Charity Foundation. The Nanping government has also increased investment in this area. At least 9 years of compulsory education should be followed by so many primary school students, and so many junior high schools. The original junior high school was expanded and the second middle school was built.
I know that 9 years of compulsory education have been implemented for a long time, why are there still a few privately run junior high schools? Private junior high schools are charged. Tuition and miscellaneous fees are not charged for 9-year compulsory junior high schools.
The existence of these junior high schools is not a privately run aristocratic junior high school like the developed coastal areas. Which elite schools attended, these junior high schools are garbage shelters, which ones can't get into junior high school, and some can't afford to pay high commission fees, and some are those who were expelled from junior high school and transferred here to continue their studies.
Although the country has long implemented nine-year compulsory education, don't forget that this is the west, and it is a backward west, a self-governing region of ethnic minorities. Everything is a lot behind. In the eastern region, the high school entrance examination is the allocation of resources here, and to put it bluntly, primary school students have the right to choose schools according to their grades after completing their primary school studies. If you do well, you can enter a key school, and if you don't do well, even if he is a fool and a bad student, he can go to the junior high school in the school district. Each class in junior high school is a small class, a small class of more than 30 people, and no matter how many elementary school graduates can accommodate. In these underdeveloped areas of Nanping, it is good to have a junior high school in a town. Each class is a large class, and there are seats arranged from the classroom podium to the wall at the back of the classroom. Basically, you can arrange as many positions as you can. This is because the school's existing classrooms are already overloaded with students. But some people will ask, why don't you build more of a school building? Then this person who asks you, if you are a fool, is it your family who is the education bureau and the finance bureau? Even if it is your family's business, but the finance bureau has no money, not to mention the bank arrears, where is the money to allocate funds to the education bureau? The education bureau is in arrears of salaries for the classrooms, and even the most basic school maintenance costs cannot be met, so where can the money be used to build new school buildings to accommodate more students?
Didn't you see that even the best school in Nanping, Nanping High School, that teaching building can be at the level of a father, haven't you seen that the junior high school of Nanping High School is still attending classes in the tiled house in the 60s of the world?
Expansion, that's to look at the money bag.
This is why private junior high schools can exist, and private junior high schools also have to pay tuition. However, the parents calculated that if they went to a regular junior high school, they would have to pay thousands of commission fees, which were enough to cover the tuition fees of private junior high schools for three years.
Here in Nanping, the preliminary examination is an elimination of the preliminary examination, which is a battle of life and death to determine that there can be a place in junior high school. Those who take the test can continue to take it, and those who can't pass the test will depend on their ability.
Don't talk about other education, medical care, transportation, take civil servants as an example, the salary of civil servants. Isn't this standard unified? Descend from ordinary clerks to super civil servants like Xiang Ming, at the state level, and from state positions. According to this, it is less than 7,000 yuan at most. Originally, there were several kinds of subsidies in the west that were not available elsewhere. But even this wage standard with documents on it cannot be implemented in Nanping. It should have been paid the same salary as in the eastern region. Ordinary clerks can get 4,000 yuan, but even a section-level cadre in Nanping is about 2,500. If you do the same job, you get such a big difference.
This is the case with education in Nanping. The top doesn't give money, rely on the local finances, so just wait.
