After a phone call, Xiao Zhen became a little silent. Mountain. One

Zhong Yu, who seemed to be busy in the living room, was packing up his things, and secretly looked at the young man sitting on the sand staring out the window at the winter rain, the twenty-eight-year-old secretary of the municipal party committee, he had guessed how he should be lonely and proud, how high-spirited, but when this man sat here silently looking at the winter rain outside the window, Zhong Yu only felt that he didn't know how many unspeakable heavy responsibilities in his heart were oppressing his seemingly forever erect backbone!

He was silent, his brows furrowed slightly, and in the middle of the thin Sichuan characters, there seemed to be endless worries, but in the midst of worry, he always revealed unyielding and tenacity, as if no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were, he could not stop his steps from overcoming thorns.

However, would an aspiring official like him find it difficult? Zhong Yu was suddenly a little curious, in the land of Wucheng, what was there that was worth his dignified municipal party secretary frowning and pondering for more than half an hour?

Xiao Zhen didn't notice that Zhong Yu was secretly observing himself, he was just thinking deeply about what his aunt said on the phone just now. Although the Ministry of Education absolutely does not admit that this is a national policy, some principal leaders of the Ministry of Education have publicly denied the industrialization of education, and even idealists like my aunt who are loyal to national education have even openly criticized the industrialization of education, but this trend is still wantonly rolling up, as if to reverse the state's policy on education for many years, so that the right to education disappears, and people can only spend money to buy knowledge."

Xiao Zhen just agreed to the request of his aunt Xiao Mo to hold the first Huaxia Middle School Principals' Conference in Wucheng, which was held at a very tight time, just ten days later, that is, after the school holiday and before the Spring Festival.

The industrialization of education did not appear today, in fact, it began a few years ago, but its harm has only begun to manifest itself now.

There was once a saying: "No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't be bitter about children!" With the development of education industrialization, the previous sentence has been changed, and the phenomenon described in the latter sentence has not changed significantly. At the beginning of the industrialization of education, it did bring some new atmosphere to the Chinese education circles. Teachers and professors, who were impoverished in the past, have finally had enough food and clothing, and they are no longer "better at selling tea and eggs than those who engage in missiles," and knowledge and wealth have finally gradually manifested, and abnormal phenomena such as "poor professors and stupid doctors" have also been changed.

The biggest advantage of the industrialization of education is that the intellectual community is respected, and the funds of the education system are relatively sufficient! Since everything is crossing the river by feeling the stones. Therefore, at the beginning of the industrialization of education, it was not foreseen that the complex situation would be formed later, and the social atmosphere would also spread to the education sector. Nowadays, money worship in the educational sector has begun to become obvious, and all activities revolve around wealth, while ignoring that education is the source of national quality. Especially in higher education, it is understandable that private universities are for the purpose of making profits, and public universities and middle schools have actually joined this money-making game, and the children have become Tang monk meat, which will lead to many poor families looking forward to learning and sighing, and quite a lot of Chinese people are eliminated by the laws of market economy at the beginning of their lives, which is an unconvincing social rule, because everyone is not at the same starting line. It violates the principle that society should provide fairness and justice to every citizen as much as possible. Some people say that this is not the obligation of the government, Xiao Zhen has never agreed with this view, if this is not the obligation of the government, then what is the obligation of the government? Before the eldest aunt Xiao Qin became the vice minister of education in 98, she was the director of the Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education, and she had a lot of research on the industrialization of higher education, and she had a clear understanding of the irony and omissions.

Through the phone call just now, Xiao Zhen knew that in his aunt, education has never been an industry and an industrial sector. Higher education is also a social public undertaking sponsored by the national government on a voluntary basis.

The industrialization of education is commoditization, and education cannot be bought and sold as a commodity. The industrialization of higher education, that is, the commercialization, will not only make the vast majority of people lose more opportunities and rights to receive higher education, but will also widen the gap between the rich and the poor, and aggravate and intensify social contradictions. Therefore, all countries have not industrialized higher education, and China is a socialist country that serves the vast majority of the people, especially not to industrialize higher education! The industrialization of education is not a new idea or a new theory, but it has re-emerged in the course of China's social and economic reform, and there are profound social reasons.

As a matter of fact, Xiao Zhen privately disapproves of some of China's practices in education, especially under the slogan that the country is not rich, and does not increase the proportion of education investment in the gross national product for many years. There is no money, so there is no education, this is a huge paradox!

More than 100 years ago, King William III of Prussia, faced with a country devastated by the defeat of Napoleonic France, said to his Prussian courtiers who opposed his "devoting the last gold coin to education": "It is precisely because of poverty that education is necessary, and I have never heard of a country that runs education and is poor and ruined." As a result, Prussia even gave up the imperial palace as a university building, and the entire Prussian regime emptied its treasury to invest in national education, and this small country in Central Europe actually implemented compulsory education for all before the British Empire, which was so rich all over the world! Eventually, Prussia rose to prominence, and Paelin remained the mecca of science and engineering in the world even after the First World War, and this is the power of education.

So, is it true that foreign countries are different from China, and that China has "different national conditions" with "Chinese characteristics" on this issue? Xiao Zhen would never agree with this view.

According to China's Constitution and Education Law, education, especially school education, has a strong social public interest. It undertakes the important mission of cultivating socialist successors and serving the country's economic construction, political law, cultural construction, and medical construction. In this sense, education is an act of the state, not entirely an act of investment or consumption by individuals and their families, and therefore cannot be governed entirely by the laws of the market.

In modern society, education is an effective means of promoting social equity. Education can significantly improve the living conditions and sustainable development of individuals, and fair education is conducive to promoting the benign flow and harmonious development of society. Therefore, the realization of the individual's right to education is not only related to the personal welfare society, but also a powerful promotion of the public welfare community. In China, education is one of the basic rights of citizens guaranteed by the Constitution and education laws, and educational fairness is an important prerequisite for social fairness and an indispensable foundation for building a harmonious socialist society.

Different people have different understandings of the industrialization of education, but to sum it up, it is nothing more than advocating relying on market means to raise and allocate educational resources, and turning education "to the market" into a commercial activity governed by the laws of the market, and its essence is the profit-making of education and the enterpriseization of schools.

A representative argument for the industrialization of education is that the industrialization of education is an effective way to improve the efficiency of the allocation of educational resources, which will help break the government's scruple in running schools, accelerate the development of education in China, and even promote the realization of educational equity. Therefore, comrades who hold this point of view advocate. The industrialization of education should not be opposed, but should be vigorously advocated and promoted.

This kind of theoretical inference, which portrays the industrialization of education as a panacea that can solve almost all the problems of Chinese education, not only has no basis in reality, but also cannot withstand scrutiny in theory. From an economic point of view, education is primarily a public good or quasi-public good. Although Xiao Ke has always selfishly agreed that the government should not arrange education, and believes that it is necessary to appropriately introduce a market competition mechanism in the process of organizing and managing education, and that some educational services, especially auxiliary educational services, can also be operated in an industrial way, these cannot be equated with the industrialization of the entire education.

If education moves towards industrialization and puts the pursuit of economic interests in place, it will inevitably have an adverse impact on the social benefits of education; If public education is turned into a market consumption behavior that completely depends on the ability of individuals to pay, it will inevitably seriously damage the public welfare and fairness of education. In fact, due to the influence of the trend of education industrialization, there have been deviations in education policies in many areas. For example, some local governments shirk their responsibilities for public education investment and management, put public schools up for sale, or acquiesce in the high and arbitrary fees charged by public schools. Some local governments use tuition revenues to offset financial allocations for education, and not only do not allocate funds to public schools, but even take commissions from school fees, which in turn supplement their finances. Some localities have taken the opportunity of the pilot reform of public utilities to arbitrarily privatize or destock public schools. These behaviors have seriously affected the health of education and have also been criticized by public opinion. As for these local phenomena being mistaken as the result of the policy of industrialization of education, and even seriously damaging the image of the education system, that is another derivative drawback. Another important argument in favor of the industrialization of education is that the cost of education and the cost of education can drive economic growth. However, the facts of the past few years have shown that the rise in the level of education expenditure has caused a huge economic burden on the middle and low-income strata, resulting in their sustained and strong saving behavior, which has greatly affected and inhibited other recent consumption behaviors of households, and then affected the sustained and healthy development of China's economy and society.

In view of these understandings, Xiao Zhen believes that the industrialization of education cannot be used as a guide for educational reform and development, and that no government at any level can use the industrialization of education as an excuse to shirk its responsibility for running education or as a means for the government to generate revenue and get rid of its financial difficulties.

Education is not an industry, but a career. It is the cause of the country and the cause of the people!

Hum knock!. Ding Dong! "The doorbell rang.

Seeing Xiao Zhen retract his gaze and look at him, Zhong Yu's gaze was flustered, then swept the silk on his forehead, and said calmly: "Maybe Director Li is here, I'm going to open the door?" ”

Xiao Zhen nodded, and Zhong Yu hurriedly put down the dagger in his hand and walked over quickly to open the door. Xiao Zhen looked at her and couldn't help but smile a little, although the air conditioner in the room was always on, it seemed a little too much to wear only these two thin clothes. However, Xiao Ke also had to admit that this girl's figure was quite good, and when she turned her back to her to open the door, the little buttocks wrapped in light gray casual pants were abnormally round, which made people feel the urge to try the feel.

Xiao Zhen hurriedly removed his eyes, now he has only arrived in Wucheng, with his age, even if his resume is understandable, but at first glance he accepted such a big stall, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him, not to mention Wucheng's, Jiangdong's, other provinces, and even the central government, I don't know how many, at this time, I can't even have this bit of control ability. Moreover, although he already has a few confidants, he also has his own reasons, so he can't degenerate into a complete lower body animal, right? Be cautious, be cautious!

Li Zhen was a little nervous, when Secretary Xiao inspected Haiyu Institute of Technology in the morning, he didn't say anything to embarrass the people below, and behaved quite normally, just saying a few high-sounding words when the secretary of the municipal party committee inspected it. But when he said that Secretary Xiao would go to the Soochow Hotel to "have a casual meal", Secretary Xiao refused, and actually ate a student meal of one yuan at Haiyu Institute of Technology with great interest. He also said: "Pay attention to the oil used in student meals." The leaders of the Education Bureau and the school leaders present were sweating, but fortunately, Secretary Xiao did not hold on to this matter. Otherwise, it is estimated that at least the vice principal of the school's logistics will definitely have to eat and hang, and even be unlucky;. Clean duty! But then again, the oil used for that student meal. Li Zhen also has the old cherry blossoms. The taste is really not good.

Director Li, sitting and listening to the casual words of the young municipal party secretary in front of him, Li Zhen didn't know how his ass fell to the edge of the sand.

"Secretary Xiao, the problem of student meals is that I don't supervise them well, and I admit my mistake to you. I have already explained to other comrades that this issue must be taken seriously, and such a situation must not occur again, and in addition, next Monday, our Education Bureau will hold a general meeting to emphasize this issue,"

"Hehe, well, okay." Xiao Zhen smiled, in fact, he naturally didn't look for Li Zhen to talk about this matter, since the secretary of the municipal party committee expressed dissatisfaction with the edible oil of Haiyu Institute of Technology, then the people below naturally want to emphasize that all schools at all levels and even ten ** will do some activities, in order to show that they have deeply understood the secretary's teachings, and perfectly implemented the secretary's instructions, this is just the meaning of the question, Xiao Zhen is not a leader today, where will he ask more?

"In Wucheng, there are public universities and private universities, does Director Li think that public universities are more competitive, or are private universities more competitive?" Xiao Zhen asked with a smile, then looked at Li Zhen's cautious appearance of only sitting on the sand with a small half of his buttocks, and added: "Don't be nervous, I just understand." ”

Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, moved his butt a little back inadvertently, sat down a little firmer, and then replied: "I don't know what kind of competitiveness Secretary Xiao means?"

Xiao Zhen was slightly strange: "Are there many aspects?"

"Oh, this", it's not a problem in many ways. Li Zhen was a little nervous again, he could answer according to the secretary's meaning, how could he refute it: "I mean, is it a question of whether the enrollment of students is sufficient or a question of the profitability of the school?" Or is it a question of the quality of teaching?

When Xiao Zhen heard "the school is profitable", his brows wrinkled unconsciously, and said: "Let's talk about it" and tell the truth

Li Zhen sighed, thought for a while, and said: "In terms of students, it must be a source of public college students, after all, it is a state-run one, and the brand is hard."

As for the profitability of the school, it must be that the private university is profitable. As far as I know, public universities are more reliable in terms of teaching quality. ”

Xiao Zhen nodded, my aunt told him just now, someone calculates that the cost of training a college student in my country is about 10,000 yuan per year. Undoubtedly, this is a low cost in the current situation. If the industrialization of higher education is the commoditization, it will definitely be much more than 10,000 yuan! First, teachers can no longer be paid low wages, but must be paid according to the price or value of their workforce. Even if the salaries of teachers in our country are increased by four or five times, they are still the lowest in the world. The cost of training alone will have to increase by four or five times, and with the profits, the tuition fee will be at least as high as 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, and the students will also have to spend a lot of living expenses. A college student can't do it without 60,000 or 70,000 yuan a year! China's per capita income is not much, and Xiao Ding, the specific situation in Wucheng, has not yet been verified, but judging from the situation in the whole country, "the per capita disposable income of urban households in the year of nephews is only 10,000 yuan, and the net income of rural families is only a yuan. It is ridiculous that some people are always staring at the six trillion resident deposits in the bank, you must know that the land of the deposit belongs to the rich 2o%, and the average person has very little deposits, and even many people have no deposits. Therefore, if the annual cost is as high as 5, 6 to 60,000 or 70,000 yuan, not to mention for poor families, that is, for the vast majority of ordinary families, even if it cannot be said to be astronomical, it is not much different, how many families can afford it!

It is true that scholarships, grants, and student loans can solve the problem of some poor people going to college, but the number is definitely not large. At that time, institutions of higher learning will be for profit, not charities, and will not have much enthusiasm for sponsoring the poor to go to college, and may even try their best to give their "related households" the financial assistance given to the poor by the state and social charities and other institutions, organizations and departments in order to obtain more income from this. At the same time, there is no "relationship" between poverty and the lack of money in ordinary people. It is difficult to find a job with good conditions and high wages after graduation, and I am worried that I will not be able to repay the student loan, so I dare not take out a loan to go to college. Even if the poor want to take out a loan to go to university, few are willing to vouch for them, and there is little incentive for the authorities to provide them with loans. As a result, because they cannot afford to pay the high tuition fees, fewer and fewer children of poor and ordinary families will go to university. On the other hand, the wealthy can neither afford to pay their tuition fees nor run around for life, and can concentrate on their studies, attending various cram schools, or hiring tutors. Even if you are not good academically, or even very poor, you can still get into college. Because, if there is money, there will be "relationships" and "back doors". Walkable. Colleges and universities in pursuit of profit are not only willing to lower their requirements, so much so that they can admit these people without examinations, and even ask for them! Now, there are already lower admission scores in China to "admit" the children of the rich, if higher education is really completely commoditized. I don't know what to do yet!

Seeing that Secretary Xiao was silent, Li Zhen couldn't help but worry in his heart.

Suddenly, Xiao Ding raised his head and smiled slightly: "Director Li has been in charge of the overall work of the Education Bureau for a while, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out of Xiao Zhen's mouth, Li Zhen's heart immediately jumped! If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the muscle chapter for more, support the author, and support genuine reading!
