Chapter 958: Dream Academy Parent Meeting

The power of this kind of teammate's anti-water questioning is undoubtedly huge.

As soon as this open letter came out, it immediately aroused a series of discussions in the domestic media, large and small.

According to the evaluation from Yangcheng Daily, Dream College has neither a management team nor a disciplinary framework, neither an academic team nor a student education and training program, neither a clear school positioning nor a clear development roadmap, neither internal management rules and regulations and accountability mechanisms, nor external supervision and accountability regulations, so it is completely impossible to talk about the specific problems of professor quality, education quality and management quality necessary for building a modern research university. However, immersed in the hustle and bustle of the slogan of stealing the concept, he is completely far away from the right way to run a modern research university, and it is really helpless to prepare for the establishment of the dream college, and it is useless to be deeply involved in the reform of national higher education!

Xinmin Evening News also published its own opinions.

Private universities must have both internal and external quality assurance systems and accountability mechanisms: internal quality assurance systems and accountability mechanisms based on their own reputation, and external supervision and accountability mechanisms based on laws and regulations. For Dream Academy, these two mechanisms are completely unestablished. What Dream College should do is to return to seeking truth from facts and being down-to-earth, to return to the basic work of building a new university (the formation of the management team, the setting of the discipline structure, the recruitment of the professor team, the setting of the education syllabus and training program, etc.), and the construction of the basic management system and mechanism, which is also the content of the open letter of the three professors, because this is the right way.

Even, at this time, even an official newspaper such as the People's Daily published a stern commentary.

The People's Daily said that encouraging students to "not take the college entrance examination" is not a reform but a "Cultural Revolution"

China's college entrance examination is still a relatively fair measurement system in terms of the examination itself. This is particularly important in a society where the social credit system is not yet sound.

In any country, a uniform university entrance examination system is not a problem in itself, but the essence of the problem is whether the gaokao score should be used as the only or most important admission and evaluation criterion for colleges and universities. The essence of the problem lies in how to achieve fairness, fairness, openness and reasonableness in terms of mechanism, supervision and operation in this social environment where integrity is lacking, so that the opportunities of all people, especially the socially disadvantaged groups, can be maintained and guaranteed.

The college entrance examination system consists of two important links: "examination" and "admission". The most fundamental drawback lies in the "admission" link. It is extremely irresponsible to use the shortcomings of the "admission" link to negate the rationality of the "examination" link, or to use the imperfection of the "examination" link to negate the rationality of the "examination" link itself.

More strictly and importantly, the higher education reform was a "reform" rather than a "Cultural Revolution". The purpose of the reform is to replace the problematic existing college entrance examination system with better, more perfect, and more operational methods and measures, rather than opposing it for the sake of opposition. The "Cultural Revolution" style of negating the existing examination system and measures and replacing them with better, more perfect, and more operable methods and measures is irresponsible to society, irresponsible to students, and irresponsible to the reform of higher education.

The practice of some people encouraging students to "oppose taking the gaokao" does not see any constructive concrete suggestions and practices other than empty slogans and irresponsible incitement. For educators, how should young students be exemplified and guided whenever the existing laws and regulations are not suitable for the requirements of educational reform and development? Should we promote and participate in the establishment of more reasonable and perfect laws and regulations in the spirit of respecting the rule of law, or should we break through the rule of law and move towards the rule of man with an attitude of defiance of laws and regulations? Aren't the lessons of the Cultural Revolution tragic and profound enough?

The People's Daily is one of the three major newspapers of the Party, and generally speaking, the People's Daily represents the will of the upper echelons.

Although this article does not directly name Dream College, a discerning person will know it at a glance.

What does this mean?

There are smart people who already feel that the reform of the Dream Academy is probably about to be interrupted.

And that's not all.

Perhaps inspired by the People's Daily, more and more media that did not dare to comment before have begun to comment on Dream College. Even, their comments are more thorough than those of the People's Daily.

What does an empty university without a management team, a disciplinary framework, an academic faculty team, an internal management system, a curriculum outline, and a development path plan use to talk about higher education reform? And what can be used to practice and embody any meaningful educational reform measures?

To build a modern research university, it is necessary not only to have a correct and clear concept and guiding ideology, but also to establish specific policies and measures that are compatible with the concept, and more importantly, to have effective actions to implement these policies and measures. It's a pity that Dream Academy has gone crooked from the first step and is still stuck in the clamor of slogans.

The mission of undertaking higher education reform is respectable and commendable, but for a university that has just begun to be built and has not yet had any content to support it, it is necessary to have a sober and clear analysis and argumentation of what should be tried and what should not be tried, what should be tried first, and what should be tried later, and we must not rely on any personal subjective will, still less can we mislead educational reform with slogans with unclear connotations and unclear logic. It is a pity that Dream College did not distinguish the priorities and priorities of a brand new university that is still in the preparatory stage at the first step.

The wall fell and everyone pushed it.

No one dared to question it before, or very few people questioned it.

But now, in the midst of doubts, Dream Academy is almost falling.

Not only that, but what the media is doing is not just commenting on Dream Academy.

In addition to their comments, they also exposed some news that they did not dare to expose before.

Dream College has not yet obtained the qualification of the state to establish a university, strictly speaking, Dream College is an illegal school.

The outrageous person claimed that he checked the China Education Network and learned that there is currently no record of Dream College, and the state does not have any proposal for a college or undergraduate degree in Dream College.

The Exposure continues.

In addition to the fact that the Exposure Dream Academy has not obtained national qualifications, some people also pointed out. Dream College applied to establish a university in March, and in May, it was in a hurry to launch its own higher education institution. And they also want to have a nationwide enrollment at the end of May, before the college entrance examination, which looks like a joke.

At this time, there is also a media exposure. Dream Academy does not have its own school building so far. The current office building is a temporary office rented by Dream College. We don't know how Dream College has become a world-class university with such strength. In my opinion, let alone the world-class, even the domestic first-class can't do it. No, it's not first-class in China, and such hardware facilities are probably not even comparable to some private colleges.

There is no teaching plan, no teaching team, no management charter, no teaching building, no school qualification......

Nothing, it's pretty much a university of hustlers.

Damn, Zhang Ningda, you have a really big time.

A series of exposures, while completely attracting people's attention, countless people also expressed their opinions.

Zhang Ningda, although I am your fan, what you did this time really made us sad.

Yes, I wanted to visit Dream College, but I thought it would be a beautiful university. However, looking at it now, a university that doesn't even have a teaching building, what am I going to visit?

I was still interested in Dream Academy, but now, I'm scared.

Not to mention, I still want to apply for my dream university, and I cry when I say it.

Kill and don't let your children go to the dream university, what about Zhang Ning's founding, a liar.

Hell, is Dream Academy a lie?

Could it be that Zhang Ning deceived everyone.

I strongly hope that Zhang Ning will come out and give you an explanation.

Yes, Zhang Ningda, are these true?

The storm is getting stronger and stronger, and the storm is officially coming.

A few days ago, Dream College, in the name of education reform, was popular for a while and attracted the attention of countless people.

Today, Dream College has fallen into a crisis of public opinion by deception.

……

What to do?

When looking at Zhu Qing, Zhang Ning's face was stern.

He has said a lot on Weibo, but it doesn't work.

The iron-clad facts made Zhang Ning almost unable to explain.

"I'm sorry, I'm incompetent."

Zhu Qingshi's face was gloomy.

Ben had a heart for reform, but he didn't expect that he would die before he left the school.

"I invited three professors from HKUST, and I am responsible for this alone. I'm going to hold a press conference in a moment and take all the responsibility. ”

"Nope."

Zhang Ning directly refused.

"I also convened the press conference, and I have to take responsibility, and I have to bear it. As I said before, the dean is me, and the investor is also me, so how can the biggest responsibility be you. In addition, three professors from HKUST just called me, and he apologized to us, saying that he just wanted to give us a wake-up call and didn't want us to rush to success. didn't expect that one of their open letters would become like this, which they didn't expect. ”

When he received this call, Zhang Ning really had the urge to strangle them.

Are you idiots?

Don't you know how hard it will be for Dream Academy to say such things at a critical moment?

However, in the end, Zhang Ning still did not scold.

Perhaps, in their eyes, they are indeed eager for success.

They weren't wrong.

It's just that Zhang Ning is still unwilling to admit defeat.

They are not wrong, and similarly, Zhang Ning also thinks that he is not wrong.

It's just that everyone stands on a different position.

"Dean Zhu, now is not the time for anyone to take on the problem. It's not your fault, and I don't want you to feel guilty. However, for the media, it is useless to say anything now. Let's take action, I believe that there will always be some students who believe in us, and parents who believe in us. As long as they dare to choose us, then we will do our best to cultivate him into a world-class talent. ”

After speaking, Zhang Ning said solemnly, "Dean Zhu, don't give up, we will definitely succeed in the domestic education reform." ”

"Don't give up."

Zhu Qingshi nodded heavily.

……

"Next, we'll have a meeting."

After communicating with Zhu Qingshi, Zhang Ning held a meeting again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that everyone knows the situation of the Dream Academy now. It can be said that we are in a very bad situation now, and we may fall down at any time. But don't worry. As long as I Zhang Ning is in for a day, it is impossible for me to make the Dream Academy disappear. Below, we move on to the issue of the Dream Academy Parent Meeting. ”

"Well, Dean, are we going to continue with this meeting?"

In the middle of the meeting, one of the lecturers stood up and asked.

"Open, of course open, why not, if not, it will give others an excuse, maybe they will say that we are out of business."

"But what if it's open and no one comes?"

"As many people as you can, even if it's just one person, then we'll open it to this one person. Everyone must remember that the spirit of our dream college will never be extinguished. ”

Zhang Ning grabbed his fist and said with great confidence.

"However, although this meeting continues, we should also adjust our strategy."

"Dean Zhu, three professors from HKUST said that our dream college does not have a teaching plan, nor does it have detailed internal management rules and regulations, how to solve this problem."

"Dean, this is easy to solve, these days, I can take the teaching plan and management rules and regulations of USTC, change it, and make it ours."

"Okay, that's a good idea. Although we may not follow such a plan in the future, we can also give you a reasonable explanation during the meeting. By the way, as for the teaching team, Dean Zhu, can you invite some domestic universities to come and cooperate? ”

"With my connections, I can, but after this cooperation with HKUST, Dean, do you want to continue to cooperate with them?"

Zhu Qingshi had the feeling of being once snakeed and afraid of the well rope for ten years.

"Of course we have to cooperate, otherwise where will we go to find the right instructor. Furthermore, I believe that not all teams are like HKUST, and not all teams will be okay to attack us. Of course, after this experience, we should also be more strict when working together. For example, we should have a mutual non-disclosure agreement. Instead of resigning as before, saying resignation, and, after resigning, turning around and attacking us. ”

"Yes, this step must be noted, if such a confidentiality agreement has been signed before, I'm afraid there will not be such a mess."

Zhu Qingshi had some regrets.

"Don't blame yourself too much, the college has just been created, and it is inevitable that you can't think about it all. In the future, we will pay attention to that. ”

Zhang Ning didn't dig deeper, and now it's not about who to look for, but how to solve the problem.

"So, the third question, some media say that our dream college does not have the qualification to run a school, how to deal with this?"

"Dean, I have a solution."

Another lecturer stood up and said, "Although we have not yet obtained the national qualification to run a school, we can bypass the Ministry of Education, and we can get the Shencheng Municipal Government to issue a certificate of running a school." I believe that although it is also more difficult, at least there is hope for success. ”

"Liu Qiang, that's a good point. I am afraid that it will not be completed in a year to get the state to approve it, but it will be much easier to get the local government to issue a certificate. ”

Although, Zhang Ning knows, such a certificate may not be valid, and it is not a real qualification for running a school.

However, with such proof materials, at least on the other hand, it means that Dream College is not without qualifications, let alone running a school illegally. If it was illegal, it would have been banned by the state long ago.

"You are responsible for this piece, and if it is done, the reward will be 1 million."

Zhang Ning handed over the task to Liu Qiang.

Now it was time to examine the team's capabilities, and Zhang Ning assigned the task.

Liu Qiang said excitedly, "Yes." ”

So, now let's move on to the fourth question. There is a media exposure that we are not teaching schools, how to solve this. ”

This is also the thing that makes Zhang Ning feel the most depressed.

Yes, it is true that Dream Academy does not have its own academic building.

After all, it was just the beginning, where was the teaching building done so quickly.

However, the people don't care if you are newly built, in their eyes, without a teaching building, it is impossible to hold classes, it is impossible to attend classes, let alone teaching, they can't even afford to teach, such a school is still a higher education institution. I'm afraid, as the media said, even private colleges, and even middle schools and primary schools can't be compared.

"Dean, do I have a solution?"

"What's the solution?"

"I still have some contacts at CUHK, and our students can borrow the CUHK academic building."

"Nope."

Zhang Ning shook his head.

"CUHK is in Yenching, we are in Shencheng, this borrowing, can we let our students go to Yenching. Besides, today's parents don't care if you have a school building when you go to school, and they will come in a few days. If they find out that we really don't have a school building, as the media said, I believe it will be very disappointing for them. ”

"Why don't you buy a ready-made building and then change it?"

"It's okay to change it, but it's inevitable that some things don't look like it."

Zhang Ning still shook his head.

"Dean, there is no way to do this. After all, our current teaching has just broken ground, and even if it is fast, it will take half a year before our teaching building can be completed. If you want to deal with those parents, or the media, you can really buy a real estate building and use it as a teaching building for the time being. In the future, if you don't use it, you can sell it. ”

"If you don't buy it so fast, I'll think of a way."

Zhang Ning put down this question for the time being, "So, in addition to these, are there any other questions?" ”

Subsequently, Zhang Ning spent a lot of time with everyone in the conference room, put forward the problems that may be encountered in the meeting one by one, and gave a reasonable explanation.

"Okay, now the meeting is adjourned, and everyone will act separately and strive to complete the task as soon as possible."

After the meeting, Zhang Ning instructed everyone.

……

Time slipped by, and the day of the Dream Academy Parent Meeting was getting closer and closer.

A lot of the media is looking forward to it.

Of course, what they are looking forward to is not to see how many people go to the dream college, they want to see how many people do not go to the dream college. Or maybe I wanted to go, but in the end I didn't go......"

"Nope."

Zhang Ning shook his head.

"CUHK is in Yenching, we are in Shencheng, this borrowing, can we let our students go to Yenching. Besides, today's parents don't care if you have a school building when you go to school, and they will come in a few days. If they find out that we really don't have a school building, as the media said, I believe it will be very disappointing for them. ”

"Why don't you buy a ready-made building and then change it?"

"It's okay to change it, but it's inevitable that some things don't look like it."

Zhang Ning still shook his head.

"Dean, there is no way to do this. After all, our current teaching has just broken ground, and even if it is fast, it will take half a year before our teaching building can be completed. If you want to deal with those parents, or the media, you can really buy a real estate building and use it as a teaching building for the time being. In the future, if you don't use it, you can sell it. ”

"If you don't buy it so fast, I'll think of a way."

Zhang Ning put down this question for the time being, "So, in addition to these, are there any other questions?" ”

Subsequently, Zhang Ning spent a lot of time with everyone in the conference room, put forward the problems that may be encountered in the meeting one by one, and gave a reasonable explanation.

"Okay, now the meeting is adjourned, and everyone will act separately and strive to complete the task as soon as possible."

After the meeting, Zhang Ning instructed everyone.

……

Time slipped by, and the day of the Dream Academy Parent Meeting was getting closer and closer.

A lot of the media is looking forward to it.

Of course, what they are looking forward to is not to see how many people go to the dream college, they want to see how many people do not go to the dream college. Or maybe I wanted to go, but in the end I didn't.
