Chapter Seventy-Six - The Builders Who Left Behind
He Jiquan asked Yang Jinghui to inform the Education Bureau that he was ready to start investigating the education of Haicheng County, accompanied by Tian Jiwen, the deputy mayor in charge of education, and went to the County Education Bureau, He Jiquan took over the report materials prepared by the County Education Bureau for Tian Jiwen, but waved his hand to signal that Tian Jiwen did not need to report, He Jiquan directly asked Zhang Mingjun, director of the Education Bureau, first asked about the promotion rate of Haicheng County in the past three years, and then asked about the college entrance examination promotion rate, He Jiquan also deliberately asked about the college entrance examination promotion of vocational high schools. There are two high schools, one vocational high school, one ethnic school, four junior high schools, and three primary schools in Haicheng County, which are directly under the county education bureau. Unlike the previous leaders who paid close attention to the college entrance examination admission rate, He Jiquan only briefly inquired about the college entrance examination and the general education rate, and did not put forward ardent expectations like those leaders in the past, but asked Tian Jiwen and Zhang Mingjun rhetorically. "Where did the children who fell off the list go? How many of them have joined the army, how many have worked in other places, and how many have stayed in their hometowns to build their hometowns? ……”。
He Jiquan's question made Tian Jiwen deeply confused, Zhang Mingjun motioned for someone to count the questions raised by He Jiquan, and Yang Jinghui seemed to understand something.
He Jiquan said, "You don't have to be nervous, no one needs these statistics, and the education department has not specifically investigated and analyzed such topics, let's go down and take a look."
According to He Jiquan's meaning, he went to the first high school in the county first, He Jiquan smiled and said to Tian Jiwen and Zhang Mingjun, "Let's go, go and see Tsinghua University in our Haicheng, you won't disturb the teachers at this moment, right?" Tian Jiwen and Zhang Mingjun relieved the pressure, because Zhilu Daohe Jiquan was going to investigate, so Zhang Mingjun had already arranged the first high school in the county, and at this moment he just informed the school's leadership team to wait to meet the secretary earlier.
He Jiquan looked at the teaching building, laboratory building, student dormitory, canteen of the county No. 1 middle school, and the backbone teachers of the school had a discussion according to the convention, he was the same as the leaders of previous years, asked the teachers about their work and life, and asked about the teaching and research group of the third year of high school, he asked those teachers of the third year of high school if they had the confidence to meet the college entrance examination, the teachers' mechanized smiles and answers He Jiquan felt a little lost in his eyes, and also held their mechanical smiles and encouragement, and when he got on the bus and ran to the county vocational high school, He Jiquan felt sad, He couldn't see a trace of passion in the eyes of the teachers, no wonder the education in Haicheng County has become a stubborn disease that cannot be cured, and whoever becomes the principal is a backwater.
Vocational high school is a more embarrassing existence in Haicheng County, when the junior high school is promoted, all junior high school students in Haicheng County will apply for the first choice according to the grades and region to choose to fill in the first high school and the second high school, but due to the scale, geography and quota restrictions, the students who can finally continue to receive high school education in the first and second middle schools after nine years of compulsory education account for only 20% of the junior high school students, and another 10% or less than 10% of the students, because of insufficient grades, parental concepts and other factors or subject to family economic conditions. It is only when the parents are more open-minded that they will choose to go to a vocational high school to spend that fearless adolescence. The education level in the other 70% of the children's life resumes is completely fixed as junior high school.
When He Jiquan arrived at the vocational high school, the leadership team of the vocational high school had not yet gathered, because he did not expect that the secretary would come to this place where his grandmother was not close and his uncle was not fond of him to investigate. Therefore, the Education Bureau did not notify the vocational high school in advance to prepare, so it seems real, it is not yet time to get out of class, the students are in pairs on the playground, painted in the corridor with long hair and tattoos, like a problem youth, some class teachers are more responsible and are still lecturing, but the following students are like shopping malls, when the teacher turns back to write, some students slip away from the back door, the teacher looks back and sees the students slipping away again, as if they are used to it, and they do not pursue it, and explain mechanically as usual; In some classes, there is no teacher, and in some classes there is a teacher, but the teacher does not give a lecture, and sits at the podium reading magazines.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Mingjun and Tian Jiwen's faces were a little unbearable. But there was no reason to justify and excuse him, and He Jiquan felt sad.
In the next few days, He Jiquan visited two more remote villages, as well as two secondary and primary schools in the township. The investigation is over, and unlike the previous county party committee secretaries who have investigated the past, Tian Jiwen and Zhang Mingjun have a feeling that the wind and rain are coming.
He Jiquan did not storm criticism. Instead, he told his experience, He Jiquan said, "When I first came to Haicheng, I once assigned a topic to the county Standing Committee, no ghostwriting, no need to talk about it, no empty words and big truths, let them seriously think about what are the advantages of Haicheng County, how should we develop, the Standing Committee members handed in the answer sheet, I have never talked about this matter on any occasion before, including those Standing Committee members." Today, I have no other purpose to talk about it, because I saw in the answer sheet of a member of the Standing Committee that he thinks Haicheng has advantages, and he thinks that there is a surplus labor force in our county, and it is this sentence that makes me start to reflect. I would like to thank this anonymous member of the Standing Committee, through what I have seen these days, I feel very heavy, there is no sense of accountability here, I just want to ask you, including myself, we should reflect on a question: "When we release the results of the college entrance examination every year, we focus on those who are admitted to prestigious universities, such as how many enter Beijing, how many enter Shanghai, how many heavy books, general books, and how many junior colleges, have we ever thought about where those students who failed to pass the entrance examination went?" Where did the children who fell off the list go......? I think, through these days of research I found the answer, we nearly 3,500 junior high school students every year, the most after two key high schools, a vocational high school admission of only more than 1,000 people, the remaining more than 2,000 students graduated from junior high school to stay in Haicheng to work, and after three years of high school education, these 1,000 people are removed into colleges and universities, and there will be 6 adults who graduate with high school degrees, whether it is a soldier or how, the quality of these layers of people is really related to the development of Haicheng in the future. Just imagine those who are admitted to colleges and universities to continue their studies, how many of them can come back to build their hometowns? ……”
He Jiquan's words made everyone present fall into contemplation, and after a long time, He Jiquan said, "So I proposed to develop investment promotion, imagine if you can go to work and earn money at home, who is willing to leave your family and business, and go to other places to eat and sleep." If our enterprises are well recruited, the amount of labor will be more and more, and our labor force will be able to be resettled without leaving home. …… Therefore, I will pay special attention to vocational education, we must design the major of vocational education, and in the future, we will settle in more enterprises, we can carry out order-based professional design according to the employment needs of enterprises, and what kind of talents will be cultivated by enterprises......"
He Jiquan then sincerely exchanged his thoughts with Zhang Mingjun about the discussion in the first high school, he said that teachers should implement the class teacher appointment system, encourage young people to compete for the position of class teacher, and then the class teacher recruits teachers, the implementation of the first-level responsibility system, the class teacher should be responsible to the vice principal, the vice principal is responsible to the principal, mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, and can not set up key classes, set up point classes, so that those so-called good teachers can say, the point class itself is a good student gathered together, For example, if the teacher who teaches the point class does not work hard to teach, his class score drops from the original average of 120 to 100, and the teacher of the non-point class pays a lot of hard work, because the quality of the original students is low, even if he increases the score from an average of 50 points to 90 points, he still can't compare to the teachers who teach the point class. Therefore, the implementation of the appointment system will help break the arrogance of those so-called famous teachers who have been praised for a long time.
He Jiquan's heartfelt words made Tian Jiwen and Zhang Mingjun feel pressure when they saw hope and a way out.
