Text Volume 16 The Crossing of the Sea_Chapter 1705 Private School
After inquiring, Jia Kai learned that just on Zhenxing East Road in front, there was a junior high school called Zhenxing Junior High School, which was a public school. It is an old middle school in Wudao County, and it has a good reputation among the masses. It just so happened that this afternoon, Zhenxing Middle School was going to enroll students from primary school to junior high school, and there were many parents of elementary school students who wanted to send their children to this school to study.
Tang Cheng and his entourage of three people came to the school gate of this Zhenxing Middle School, and at the school gate, Tang Cheng saw a spectacle that was rarely seen in the office! A line of two people, a queue of parents, a full 500 meters long, from the admissions office of the teaching office building of this Zhenxing Middle School, all the way to the school playground. There is no doubt that parents come to line up just to send their children to school.
It's hard to go to school, that's the news I saw in the newspaper. Tang Cheng is really the first time to see this difficulty in going to school, it will be such a difficult method!
There were three or two elderly people next to Tang Cheng, who were accompanying their children to line up, so Tang Cheng went over to say hello and talked to them: "Brother, what are you doing here? The queue is so long? Is it so difficult to go to school?"
The old man looked at Tang Cheng, and he could see from the clothes that Tang Cheng was also a little common man, the old man's surname was Zhang, and the old man Zhang said: "At first glance, you are a child who has no school-age child at home, if you have a child of primary promotion, you don't need to ask." We're waiting for the lottery!"
As soon as they heard this, Liu Haizi and Tang Cheng's hearts tightened, and Tang Cheng could immediately conclude that the situation reflected by the masses of Wudao County who went to the Provincial Bureau of Letters and Visits to petition was completely true and did exist.
Tang Cheng asked: "I've heard that there are lottery numbers to buy houses, but I haven't heard of lottery schools, what is going on with this lottery number going to school?"
Lao Zhangtou told Tang Cheng: "There is no way, this is the policy formulated by our county government, there are many children, few schools, and schools are not prosperous, so we can only go to school by lot." ”
Tang Cheng said: "Is it because of the good teaching quality of this revitalization middle school, the children of the county's elementary schools are crowded to this school." If that's the case, it's a different story, and it's not part of the government's inaction.
Lao Zhangtou smiled bitterly and said: "No, this is also the case in public junior high schools in other areas of the county! If you go to public junior high schools in other areas, they are all like this! ”
Tang Cheng said in astonishment: "That's not right! We in Gannan practice nine-year compulsory education, so that every school-age child can have a school to read and receive free compulsory education, this is the sacred right conferred on children by the law! No individual or unit can take it away! If the lot is not caught, what should we do?"
Lao Zhangtou said: "Then there is no way, I can only go to a private school to study." The admission rate of private schools is also okay, but there is one point, it is not free education, and you need to pay tuition, which seems to be 20,000 yuan per year. ”
At this point, Tang Cheng understood a little, oh, there are few public schools in the county, and there are not enough classrooms, so children can only go to private schools for paid education.
The state advocates the establishment of education by individuals, but one thing must be clear: governments at all levels must adhere to this nine-year compulsory education and cannot prevent students from receiving nine-year compulsory education under any pretext.
Tang Cheng saw so many parents of students queuing, and Tang Cheng understood that most parents did not want their children to go to private schools.
At this time, the lottery has begun, and those who have won the name can study in this revitalization middle school, and those who can't shake the number will be sorry and can't come here to study. I'll figure out another way for myself.
Many parents who didn't get the number went back dejectedly, with two grievances in their mouths, the first complaint, the second complaint about their poor luck, and the second complaint about the government's policy.
Tang Cheng chatted with a parent again, and the parent pointed out sharply: "The fundamental reason for today's lottery school, in fact, is very easy to understand, that is, the government's inaction, the two-child policy has gradually been liberalized, and the demographic dividend has appeared. Of course, there will be too many children and not enough classrooms!"
Tang Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, this is also the same as road construction, 20 years ago, our ten families only owned a car, and at that time the road was five meters wide enough." But now, our ten families have an average of 15 cars, and the road is still 5 meters wide, so traffic accidents will definitely be high, and we should adjust our infrastructure construction with the development of the times. If there are more children, we should build more schools!"
Many parents nodded and echoed Tang Cheng's words.
A parent next to him said: "However, there is still a strange phenomenon in our Wudao County! In just seven or eight years, we have built 16 private schools in Wudao County, and this private education group, the Mingta Group, has invested in 11 schools in this Wudao County, including five junior high schools, three primary schools, and three high schools! There are several other private schools, which are also making a lot of money. ”
If Tang Cheng didn't go down to the grassroots level, he wouldn't have been able to understand such a real and detailed situation anyway, and he wouldn't have been able to listen to the voices of the people!
Tang Cheng understood that Wudao County clearly did not develop public schools, and it was private and private schools that were developed.
Tang Cheng and Liu Haizi looked at each other.
Tang Cheng left this Zhenxing Middle School, and then went to this other public school to see, it just so happened that they came to a Haihe Primary School on Haihe Road, this primary school also belongs to a public primary school, and the same scenery as Zhenxing Middle School, here is also enrolling, there is also a long queue at the school gate, this primary school, is to go to school by lot, if you catch it, you can't go to school.
It can be seen that the situation reported by the residents of Wudao County is true.
Just next to a commissary near this Haihe Primary School, Tang Chengtan heard an astonishing rumor, some people said that the reason why Wudao County has today's phenomenon is mainly because the secretary of the county party committee of this county is unusual, and the secretary of the county party committee of this county is called Ge Yalin. He served as the head of the organization department, deputy county magistrate, deputy secretary, county magistrate, and secretary of the county party committee in this Wudao County, and served in this Wudao County for a long time, as many as 15 years.
It is rumored that Ge Yalin has a lover named Duan Yahong, and Duan Yahong is the chairman of Minta Group.
When Tang Cheng heard this rumor, he cleverly fought a cold war, thinking that he had encountered a series of things, and the possibility that this rumor was really quite large, and there was a correlation between this matter! The county party committee and the county government just did not build public schools, but on the contrary, they wantonly built private schools, and in this way, private schools would make a lot of money!
The government and business join forces to get rich overnight!
