Chapter 24 Marketization
Tick Bell Bell –
Before he could finish speaking, the phone in the office rang wildly, and Zhou Shuo instructed a teacher standing next to him to answer the phone with his eyes.
I saw him take a deep breath and slowly reach for the microphone. As if the microphone was made of gold, he carefully pressed it against his ear.
"Hello, yes, this is a high office. That's right, we will teach and learn, and the next period will be free! ”
Before he could finish speaking, the three phones in the office rang one after another.
Several of the teachers who had been assigned to the office were suddenly busy with their feet on the ground, and they were nailed to the telephone in pairs. One of them was responsible for making and receiving the phone, and the other took the registration form and sat next to the phone to record the information of these potential trainees. This not only enables the development of potential customers, but also the formation of a database for detailed market analysis.
The rest of the teachers saw their busy appearance and walked out of the office with a sense of concern. Each of these teachers carried a desk and chair in his hand, and soon set up a reception area at the school gate.
Just after the morning rush hour at work, at more than eight o'clock, people came to consult at the school gate of a high post one after another. Among these people are not only young people, but also middle-aged and even elderly. The nineties was the era when Ji Lu planned to give birth to an only child to grow up, some children were spoiled as little princesses and little emperors, but some people were more willing to invest in education for the only seedlings in the family.
These parents who hope that their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes, in order not to let their children lose at the starting line, they are eager to stuff every talent into their heads. In order to recruit more students from such summer interest classes, Zhou Shuo also specially arranged the start time after the final exam. Many of these elderly people are asking about the situation for their children.
As time passed, the number of people who consulted in front of the school gate increased, and even a long queue soon formed. Zhou Shuo stood not far from the reception, next to Liu Guifang and three female teachers, who used four tables to put together a large table and sat on the four sides. At this time, the desktop was gradually full of documents, and the four of them buried their heads, and the pen in their hands kept filling in the registration form one by one according to the format.
Occasionally, a teacher who was in front of him would come over and slam a thick stack of registration forms on the table. Then he smiled triumphantly: "Oh, I'm sorry, I really can't leave the front, and I have so much backlog to send it over......"
Before the man finished speaking, another teacher came to the reception, slapped a stack of thicker registration forms next to him, and choked: "How much are you?" I had to pay on the spot, and now people are really willing to spend money for their children......"
Not to mention that the teachers were vigorously sending over the thicker and thicker registration forms, just after ten o'clock, a crown car drove in from outside the school. The car stopped steadily in front of the teaching building, the driver in the front seat opened the door of the back seat, and Director He of the Education Bureau in a suit and leather shoes got out of the car from the back seat.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhou Shuo not to see such a big car, and the license plate of the director of the Education Bureau must be memorized. He almost trotted after the car, and only then did he catch up in time.
"Hello Director He, welcome to the post of high school inspection!"
Zhou Shuo stretched out his hand when he saw Director He from a distance, hurriedly ran two steps, stepped forward and grabbed his hand and shook it.
Director He shook his hand with a spring breeze on his face, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou is good, it seems that I will hand over a high position to you, I have no one to entrust!" ”
Letting go of his hand, Zhou Shuo smiled shyly and replied, "Everything has just begun, please continue to see Director He's performance after a high position!" ”
"It's hard at the beginning, let's go, let's see how your admissions are." After Director He finished speaking, he walked over to the reception at the school gate with great interest.
Director He walked to Liu Guifang's side and flipped through the registration form on the table, which made her very angry, who was already busy and crazy, and drove away without raising her head: "Who is this, go!" I didn't see that this side was busy, don't flip around! ”
After she finished speaking, she looked up, and immediately blushed with fright. Lau Kwai Fong is one of the few full-fledged faculty members in a high school, and she has seen Director Ho deliver a speech at the Education Bureau's year-end meeting. Immediately stood up quickly, shook his hands and said at a loss: "Director He, you...... I ......, I, I didn't mean to! ”
Director He seemed to be in a good mood, waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay." Sit down, I'm interrupting your work, you're busy, don't worry about me! ”
Zhou Shuo stepped forward and pretended to reprimand her, and quickly changed the topic and asked, "How is the registration situation?" ”
Although Liu Guifang was trained, she also smiled a little when she heard this question, and said happily: "The situation is very good, there are more than 300 people who have left information after consultation, and there are 53 people who signed up and paid on the spot." ”
Director He let out an "oh", obviously not expecting such good results, and interjected and asked, "How are your tuition fees determined?" ”
As the boss of the education system in Xiucheng, his life is not easy. There are too many things that need to be taken care of and worried about in all aspects, and he is indeed happy about the sudden rise of a high position. But you can't have too many tendencies, and you still want to be able to have a bowl of water on the surface.
Liu Guifang opened her mouth without thinking: "The tuition fee for the three-month short-term training course of the automobile repair class and the electrical repair class is 1,000 yuan per person, and the summer course of computer training is 500 yuan a month. There are now 22 people enrolled in the auto repair class, 18 people in the electrical repair class, and 13 people in the computer summer class. ”
"This is ......" Director He calculated and was startled: "It's nearly 50,000 yuan!" Your tuition fee is not low, much higher than the market? ”
Director He was actually relieved. As long as the tuition fee of a high position is higher than that of others, it will not eat the market in one bite. As for how to develop next, it is up to each to do it. If the skills are not as good as others, many people will have nothing to say.
Liu Guifang said proudly: "It's three percent higher than the training class outside, but we are a Baojiao Baohui, and this issue will not be free of charge, and it should be more expensive!" ”
Director He nodded and said in agreement: "Not bad, not bad!" If you dare to use this slogan, it shows that you are confident in your teaching ability, and it also shows that you have a responsible attitude towards students. With these two magic weapons, you will naturally have more confidence than others! ”
Director He patted Zhou Shuo's shoulder with a sigh and said with relief: "Before I came, some people told me that you were spreading rumors, suppressing your peers, and disrupting the market order. What was it like before a high school? What does it look like now? Why is it that just a change of leadership has led to a rebirth of the school? Some people's thoughts are that they can't see others better than themselves! ”
Director He couldn't help but sigh that the 90s was a time when vocational high schools and technical secondary schools were in decline. On the one hand, the number of high school students has skyrocketed, and educational resources are strained. On the other hand, vocational education, which was once thriving, has declined and become a big burden for the Education Bureau. As a result, the balance of the education system has been disrupted, and there is no room for tension at every turn.
Zhou Shuo's actions opened a window in front of him, and a high position was his test field. The state withdraws from the already tasteless vocational education market and allows private capital to enter, so that the saved resources can work to ensure that public education is low.
Public education is the foundation of social equality and the obligation and responsibility of the state, and it must not be marketized. 1994 was China's second fierce inflation, the price growth rate once reached 27.4%, what pigs are flying in the sky, garlic you ruthless, ginger you army, and this inflation is not comparable at all. Behind these cold figures, it is the laid-off workers who commit suicide by drinking rat pills with their families, and the poor feed factory workers stealing chaff bread to satisfy their hunger......
How can the education system continue to pour salt into the wounds of these people at such a time? But that's all there is to the school, who will not give this little food in your hand? If vocational education is promoted to society, will it be possible to ensure that more people have the opportunity to receive basic education?
Although Director He is the director of the education bureau of a prefecture-level city, this question is still too heavy for him. But within the limits of his ability, he doesn't mind making an opening for this.
Accompanied by Zhou Shuo, he took another turn around the school. Seeing the morale of the teachers and the enthusiasm of the students for learning, I felt comforted.
After the last moment, Director He stood beside the crown car, held Zhou Shuo's hand tightly and said, "I'm relieved to see that you can stand up again!" You go busy with work, don't send it! ”
After speaking, Director He got into the back seat. Under Zhou Shuo's visual send-off, the driver lit a fire and slowly drove the car out of the campus.
In the following time, Zhou Shuo began to be busy as never before since he was reborn. Running a training course is by no means something that can be done by pulling out the team and opening a classroom.
In order to ensure the quality of teaching, each teaching and research group must hold a teaching and research meeting to study and train teaching plans; More teaching aids must be introduced, at least one for each person; The original inferior labor protection products must be updated to reduce the possibility of accidents;
These bits and pieces quickly filled his schedule. Because the current cadre allocation of a high post is incomplete, all of them need to be promoted by Zhou Shuo personally. How the training class is scheduled directly affects the salary and bonus of each teacher, and it is also a test of his human wisdom. The newly added teaching aids, buy this or not buy that company's products, and only when he nods his head will he dare to act.
There are even those who go to the favor, because it affects the business and smashes the field, and for a while Zhou Shuo can't wait to break his people and time into eight petals to use......
After a few days, everything was finally arranged. Zhou Shuo sat in his office, trying to make a cup of tea and steal a long day of leisure, but he didn't want the door of the office to be suddenly pushed open. Liu Guifang shook the newspaper in his hand, broke in and shouted anxiously: "Principal, it's not good!" ”
Zhou Shuo was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help but burst out in his heart:, why is this picture so familiar?
