Chapter 245: Walkers Without Borders 55

The old branch secretary introduced the situation of their village to Chen Feng and others in more detail. One word is poor, and two words are very poor. In their village, 15- and 16-year-old children have to support their families, and if they don't go to school, 15-year-old girls generally have to marry early, so that their mothers can have fewer people to eat and a bowl of food, and their mother-in-laws can have a good helper for farm work.

There are many 16-year-old girls who have given birth to children, and since then they have lived the same hard life as their mothers. If they don't go to school, 15-year-old boys start to carry large bags and small bags everywhere to work, or work as migrant laborers, or dig rocks in the family farms, and generally cannot leave this hard life facing the loess and facing the sky, just like the reincarnation of their ancestors.

In a mountainous area like theirs, there are many people who live in the same house for five generations, and there are many children and grandchildren, and the more they are born, the more they cannot afford to go to school, and they cannot afford to go to school and leave the mountains, so they are impoverished from generation to generation...... They all know that education is important, but they don't have the money and the ability to support their children all the time. It is very rare to be able to let your own children go to junior high school. And it's usually boys, and many families don't let girls go to school from the beginning, even if they don't have to pay tuition. The reason is very simple, the patriarchal mentality is very serious, and it is also very troublesome, and there will be half a lack of labor in the family. If there is a girl with younger siblings in the family, it is even more unlikely that the elders in the family will let her go to school, because they have to stay at home to take care of their younger siblings.

As far as their village is concerned, there have only been a few high school students so far. And without exception, they have all moved out of their dilapidated village. The rest of the junior high school students are also very small, and most of them are illiterate. As for the out-of-school rate of children, just look at the increasing number of children gathered around. Most of the left-behind children are also out of school.

Why do their children in remote mountainous areas stay in poverty? Why can't they go to school? Why can't they get into the key schools of the province and city like the children of rich families? Why is their dream of going to university so far away?

There are many reasons for this, but the main one is because of the poverty they live in. And the reason why they are poor. There are many aspects, one of which is that they can't afford to go to school, and most people don't have a good education. In addition, there are policy reasons. According to the village party secretary, although their village was very poor a decade ago, there was also a primary school in the village, and there were several teachers in it. But then with the change of policy. The primary school was dismantled, and the children in the village had to walk more than two hours a day to get to the town to go to school, which was very troublesome and unsafe. In addition, they can skip their children's primary school tuition, but the tuition and miscellaneous fees are also a burden for their families every semester, and many families will be reluctant to spend it. And if you want to send students to the town, it will cost you even more, and there are many children in their village, so they are even more reluctant to spend money.

As a result, there have been more out-of-school children in their village in the past ten years than there were more than a decade ago. From this situation. It's somewhat ironic. But this situation Chen Feng had encountered before in the two previous poverty-stricken mountainous areas. The original intention of the policymakers of this kind may be to better concentrate resources to improve the level of local education, and at the same time, it may also be to save money, which has advantages and disadvantages, but from the perspective of these poor mountain villages, there is no doubt that the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages, and it is also very unfair. To a certain extent, this is tantamount to depriving them of the right to a fair education for children in poor mountain villages.

Chen Feng is very dissatisfied with such a policy, but he also knows that no matter how influential he is in this kind of policy involving the whole country, he cannot change it.

All he could do was donate money to build a primary school in their village. Volunteers are then recruited to teach.

Chen Feng and his entourage were taken to the village committee by the old branch secretary, which was one of the few rows of low-rise brick houses in their village. There was really nothing to entertain in their village. I can only use a porcelain bowl to make some coarse tea for the big guy. But when everyone looks at the shoddy tea foam and the porcelain bowl that is not very clean, naturally no one will drink it. Even Chen Feng is no exception, although he won't care too much about these, he won't go out of his way to curry favor.

Fifteen-year-old boys began to carry large bags and small bags to work everywhere, or as migrant workers, or to dig stones in the family farm, and generally could not leave this hard life facing the loess and facing the sky, just like the reincarnation of their ancestors who had worked hard for generations.

But later, with the change of policy, the primary school was dismantled, and the children in the village had to walk more than two hours a day to go to school in the town on a mountain road, four or five hours a day.

But this situation Chen Feng had encountered before in the two previous poverty-stricken mountainous areas. The original intention of such policy makers may also be to better concentrate resources to improve local education standards, but it may also be to save money, which has both advantages and disadvantages. But from the perspective of these impoverished mountain villages, there is no doubt that the harm far outweighs the good, and it is also very unfair. To a certain extent, this is tantamount to depriving them of the right to a fair education for children in poor mountain villages.
