Chapter 066: Making School Affordable for Children

Huang Rui hurriedly took out the small notebook he carried with him from his pocket, took out a ballpoint pen from the left pocket of his shirt, and began to prepare for recording.

Xu Fei also immediately walked out from behind, and the small notebook and pen in her hand were ready. She is a cadre of the Propaganda Department, but she is very accustomed to having paper and pen ready at any time behind the leader.

Xiao Chen actually didn't know that Xu Fei was already the deputy director of the News Coordination Center at this time, and the last time Hu Ming saw Xiao Chen from the Far East and returned to the District Committee, he took Xu Fei in the car for the second time, and within a few days, Xu Fei was promoted to the deputy director of the News Coordination Center. This time, no one spoke on the surface of the Propaganda Department, but in fact, when many people talked about it in private, they all said that Minister Hu was showing favor to Secretary Xiao, and some people even swore that Minister Hu had "tribute" to Secretary Xiao Xu Fei, the No. 1 beauty in the ministry, was now in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and he had long been Secretary Xiao's person.

Xiao Chen vaguely heard Huang Rui and Lao Han mention it, but he didn't care much about this, there was nothing between himself and Xu Fei at all, and taking his own car twice meant that she was his own confinement? As for Hu Ming giving her to himself, it is even more boundless, who is Hu Ming, who can give her to himself?

As soon as Huang Rui and Xu Fei were ready, Xiao Chen gestured to Chaoyue Damin: "Uncle, say it, I'll help you listen." ”

Yue Damin began to count the fees one by one, except for what Yue Xiaolian mentioned that day, Yue Damin actually remembered some strange charges. For example, the sanitation fee, which is already strange, is actually divided into public area sanitation fees, class sanitation fees, school health and epidemic prevention fees, and a class self-collected sanitation fee.

Xiao Chen's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters: "What is the difference between the class health fee and the health fee collected by the class itself?" ”

Yue Damin said blankly: "I don't know." ”

Xiao Chen moved his gaze to Yue Xiaolian, who had already hurriedly explained: "The class health fee is collected by the school, and the reason is that the health of the class needs some utensils from the school. ”

"Why do you want to take it again in that class?" Xiao Chen felt that even if he wanted to find a reason for the school, it seemed to be very difficult, not to mention that he didn't mean it in the first place.

Yue Xiaolian explained: "The class received ...... It's money for rags, laundry for mopping floors, and glass water. But...... Generally, it is not used up. ”

Xiao Chen's face sank, needless to say, he could guess the situation.

Yue Damin was still not satisfied, and continued: "There are a lot of tricks in that class, this is the sanitation fee, and the teacher's chalk has to be charged, the blackboard brush is broken, and the movie together is also charged......"

"This isn't." Yue Xiaolian interrupted her father's words and explained to Xiao Chen: "These are not collected separately, they are all in the class fee." ”

Xiao Chen frowned and said: "I know this class fee, but you can pay this class fee, how can the teacher be responsible for the student's chalk?" What does the school do? By this time, his tone had become a little harsh.

Before Yue Xiaolian could speak, Yue Damin pouted and said, "What is chalk, the teacher's textbook, pen, and guidance materials...... It's all students who pay for it. ”

Xiao Chen bit his lip, turned his head and asked a group of cadres who came with him: "Comrades, do you recall that when you were studying, did the school ask you to pay this money?" ”

These words were exchanged for a sigh.

Xiao Chen stood up and raised his head slightly: "Comrades, there is a sentence I don't know if you still remember. No matter how hard you are, you can't be miserable for your children, and no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education. This sentence reminds me of Prussian Germany. There are many factors for Germany's success, and one of the most important experiences is that it attaches great importance to national education and strives to improve national cohesion and quality, so as to provide a strong spiritual motivation and intellectual support for the country's rejuvenation. In this regard, Prussian Field Marshal Moltke once proudly said after the victory in the Franco-Prussian War: 'The victory of Prussia has long been decided from the podium of the primary school teacher. 'Comrades, our party and state also attach great importance to education, but listen to what is the actual situation on the education front! ”

Xiao Chen actually has a lot of opinions about the current education system, and once mentioned it to his aunt a few years ago, when his aunt half-jokingly said, let you be the Minister of Education, what are you going to do?

Xiao Chen still remembers what he said, and the two most fundamental points are: remove the score system and popularize college undergraduates for all. As a result, the aunt smiled and said, your idea is good, and the country thinks the same, but if you want to think about it, the actual work is the actual work, and the current conditions are not allowed.

Xiao Chen still remembers that he was very unconvinced at the time, education is indeed a big investment and slow results, but this kind of century-old plan or even a thousand-year plan, slow results are of course, who can expect to spend a trillion on education this year, and there will be a return of 10 trillion next year? But slowly, you have to do it, isn't Germany a typical case?

Germany was the first country in the world to implement the Compulsory Education Act. As early as 1717, King Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia promulgated a "Compulsory Education Regulation", which explicitly stipulated that "all minors, regardless of gender, high or low, must receive education". In Prussia, education and military service were regarded as compulsory obligations of citizens, and the state provided its citizens with free education, through which the idea of national unity was inculcated and the overall quality of the people was improved. When some of the ministers advised Wilhelm I to consider the question of the funding of the school, the king said categorically: "What is the amount of money in relation to my long-term gains?" If I promote education, it will improve the quality of my entire people! After Wilhelm I's son, Friedrich the Great, succeeded to the throne, he also resolutely implemented the basic national policy of compulsory education, and personally signed the world's first "General Compulsory Education Law" on August 12, 1763.

In the development of education in Germany, the first thing is to change the concept of education. He advocates that citizens should be educated not for themselves, but for the sake of making greater contributions to society in the future. The second is to advocate the organic integration of education and research. The third is to establish a flexible education system. Fourth, vocational and technical education is very well developed.

Educational reform in Germany has yielded fruitful results, and by the sixties of the nineteenth century, the enrolment rate of school-age children had reached 97.5 per cent. At the same time as universal education for all, Prussia also established a modern university, the University of Berlin, which placed equal emphasis on teaching and scientific research. King William III donated the lavish royal palace as a university building, and at the same time guaranteed that the state must provide material support for teaching and scientific activities, but not interfere with educational and academic activities. The dynamism and talent development of the University of Berlin laid the foundation for the realization of the dream of a German powerhouse and set a precedent for the modern university model in the world.

Education for all has produced highly qualified citizens for Germany, and universities have brought creativity and invention to Germany. Thanks to the great improvement in the quality of its citizens, Germany was finally unified in 1871 and became a world-class power. Since the mid-19th century, German scientists have contributed much more than the British, American, and French combined. From 1851 to 1900, Germany achieved 202 major scientific and technological innovations and inventions, surpassing the combined efforts of Britain and France and ranking second in the world. To this day, even after Germany's defeat in two world wars, it remains one of the world's most important scientific and technological powers.

This is the power of science and technology, the power of talents, and the power of education!

Xiao Chen firmly believes that as long as there is the spirit of "even if the poor adults can't eat, they can't let the children not be able to read", the rise of China will be truly unstoppable!

However, what are schools doing as the frontline of the education front?

Xiao Chen looked at the silent cadres and said slowly: "I believe that most of the comrades are also family people, and there are children at home. Think about the education of the children around you...... Is it normal? He paused slightly, and continued: "Do you think that a school that only makes excuses every day and charges such and that way can bring a really good education to its children? Is it to teach children to lie? Or do you not dare to take responsibility for anything and make excuses? ”

A cadre in his forties couldn't help but say loudly at this time: "Secretary Xiao asked well, sometimes I also suspect where some abnormal phenomena of the child are learned, at that time I always feel that some social atmosphere is too bad, affecting the child's psychology, and then I often find my own reasons, reflecting on whether I and his mother at home Some of the performance disappointed him, but after listening to Secretary Xiao's words today, I suddenly found that I forgot about school!" Yes, if the school itself has become a dye vat, how can you expect children to be white and immaculate? ”

"Bang bang bang!" Xiao Chen took the lead in applauding, and then everyone, whether true or false, applauded.

Xiao Chen nodded, turned to Yue Damin and said: "Uncle Yue, the district committee will definitely give due feedback on the situation you react, we will verify these things, and check the reasonable and legal surnames of the fees one by one, if there are illegal and unreasonable fees, the school will definitely be ordered to stop collecting them." ”

Yue Damin didn't expect Xiao Chen to agree so easily, stood up excitedly, and said: "Thank you, Secretary Xiao, thank you, Secretary Xiao, as long as I don't charge this money, only the book fee, I will definitely not let them not afford to read even if I sell blood!" ”

Xiao Chen patted Yue Damin's shoulder and said, "In the future, I will be responsible for poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation for your family one-on-one, and I will formulate a poverty alleviation plan for you according to the actual situation of your village and your family, so that you can get rid of poverty fundamentally and let the children afford to go to school!" ”

At this moment, there were many people around who wiped their tears.

I underestimated the difficulty of moving, and now the house is still messy, but I ran to the Internet café to update, everyone looked at the collection and recommended votes, which made me feel that this sweat was not in vain, thank you.
