Chapter 1487: Two Good News!
readx;?♂,
In front of Cook and a group of Leshen executives were two rows of dilapidated buildings. The www.biquge.info can barely be called a "house" in terms of outline, but it's hard to imagine that such a house is a classroom for students!
Cook looked at the dilapidated classroom in front of him, the cracked walls revealing huge cracks that could even accommodate an adult in and out. Through one of the largest cracks, Cook could clearly see the students inside, reading aloud texts he didn't understand.
A mischievous student sitting in the back row secretly bent down and crawled out of the crack while the teacher was not paying attention, but when he saw Cook and the others, he immediately quickly drilled back like a frightened rabbit.
He was very skillful in his movements, obviously not the first time he had done this, but he was discovered by the teacher in the classroom.
"Geji, you're disobedient again, sneak out of the classroom again, beware of the grandma I told you!" In the classroom, a young female teacher said.
"Li, you are an official here, and you are also in charge of education, the educational conditions here are so poor, why don't you improve it?" Seeing this scene in front of him, Cook felt very uncomfortable, and said to Li Mingzhe beside him.
He spoke English, but that wasn't a problem for Lee Ming-che at all. Lee Ming-che was originally a highly talented returnee and was able to communicate fluently in English. Cook also knows this.
Hearing Cook's question, Lee Ming-che also said in fluent English: "Mr. Cook, you don't know anything. This is the poorest place in China, and there are at least hundreds of schools like this here. Every year, the state has to invest a lot of financial and material resources here, but it is too difficult here, it is really too difficult, even if the state continues to invest every year, it is still a drop in the bucket. ”
Lee Ming-che's heart was also a little heavy. As the provincial leader in charge of education, he is certainly clear about the current situation of education in Sichuan Province. Especially in these areas of western Sichuan, where poverty has long been deeply rooted, it is impossible to change it in a short period of time.
"I can understand your difficulties, but no matter what, children should not be crammed into classrooms like this." At this point, Cook paused and said, "In my own name, I will donate 1 million meters of gold to build a new school for these children." It's so dangerous to be in a classroom like this! Cook said with some emotion.
Hearing Cook's words, Lee Ming-che nodded and said, "Mr. Cook, thank you for your generosity, and on behalf of the Sichuan Provincial Education System, I would like to thank you for your contribution to the education of Sichuan Province!" ”
The two of them communicated in English from beginning to end, so except for a few senior assistants around Li Mingzhe and a few senior entourages of Leshen Technology, those accompanying officials did not understand the conversation between the two people. However, when Lee Ming-che translated the conversation between the two men to them, their faces were full of joy. In particular, several leaders of Wuke Township, as well as the principal of Wuke Middle School, were even more excited and almost cried!
One million meters of gold, equivalent to more than 6 million yuan, is enough to build a high-quality middle school. For Uko Township, this is definitely a great joy!
Director Huang of the Provincial Department of Education took Cook's hand and kept expressing his gratitude! For the top leader in charge of education in Sichuan Province, Director Huang knows what a dazzling achievement Cook's move is for him! Don't look at it as just a township-level middle school, it may not be anything in the province, but don't forget, this is a school donated by EO of Leshen Technology! The name of the family is here, and this pilot will also be placed here, which is definitely a highlight of his tenure!
With Cook's impromptu move, the atmosphere at the scene was much warmer. The group arrived at the school, and after spending a while in a slightly better office, it was recess time.
The director and teachers of Wuke Township Middle School, who had already received the notice, immediately gathered the children on the playground and held a temporary donation ceremony on a small earthen platform on the playground.
Lee Ming-che stood on the humble podium and looked at the more than 400 teachers and students standing in the playground. Although there are not many people, it is a middle school with a high school system. In Sichuan Province, there are many more schools like this. Due to the scattered mountain populations and the high dropout rate, the school has always had very few students. A school like Wuke Township Middle School, which can have more than 400 students, can be regarded as a big school.
"Hello teachers and students, we are here today and bring you two pieces of good news. The first good news is that after our efforts, the Leshen Virtual School, which was founded by Leshen Group and has been approved by the Ministry of Education, will be set up as a pilot in our Wuke Middle School. Starting today, everyone can enjoy the most advanced virtual teaching technology in China and even the world! Virtual teaching technology is a great technology that will make everyone much more productive! Especially for students in the third year of high school, this is even more good news. The college entrance examination will be less than four months away, and with the virtual school, I believe that everyone's college entrance examination results will definitely have a big improvement! Here, I would like to wish these students who are preparing for the college entrance examination good results! At the same time, I would like to tell you in advance about the upcoming preferential education policies in our province. In order to reduce the burden on our students in Sichuan Province, the Provincial Department of Education decided to allocate a part of the special funds from the tight funds for the grants of students who are admitted to universities! As long as the students who have passed the second class undergraduate or above in the college entrance examination, they will receive a different number of grants, and if you are admitted to the national key, the Provincial Department of Education will be responsible for all the expenses of your four years in college! ”
After Li Mingzhe's words, the audience immediately burst into warm applause. However, this round of applause was not so much a thank you for Lee's words as it was curiosity. You know, in this extremely backward place where even the oldest desktop computers don't exist, the concept of "virtual school" is too new. As for the bursary program that Lee Ming-che mentioned later, many teachers were even more unimpressed.
"The policy is a good policy, but I don't know how many children can enjoy such a policy. The teaching conditions of Wuke Middle School are too backward, not to mention undergraduates, children can be admitted to a junior college, which is a remarkable achievement. Hey, this policy in the province is not practical at all! Teacher Su Keha stood at the back of the team of the third (1) class of high school, listened to the words of the young leader on the stage, and sighed in his heart.
Su Keha is a native of Daliang Mountain, and has been a teacher at Uke Middle School for almost 20 years. Here, he has changed from a young man to an old teacher who is nearly half a hundred years old, and it can be said that no one knows more about Uko Middle School than him.
Sukha is a math teacher and a homeroom teacher for Senior 3 (1) class. Sukha knew best about the class he was teaching. From a very young age, these students are limited by educational resources and conditions, and receive a very poor education, resulting in an extremely weak learning foundation. Those knowledge that requires rote memorization in the liberal arts are better, and if there are students who work hard, they can still get a good grade. But when it comes to science, Sukha only has a wry smile.
In a mock test just completed, the best student in his class in math only scored 78 points! You know, this is a test paper with a full score of 140 points! This result can only be said to have just passed!
With such results, let alone going to a second-class undergraduate, even if it is a junior college, it is very difficult. The preferential policies in the province, the lowest line is the second class of undergraduates, what is the use of such a policy for these children? Besides, even if they were to be admitted to that kind of school and enjoy the financial aid provided by the government, what about the rest of it? And where will it come from? As a native of the area, Sukha knows the extent of poverty here, and to be honest, these students who can stand in front of him and insist on completing 12 years of compulsory education are already in quite good family conditions. Most of them, the end result is just to graduate from high school here, then get a diploma, and then go to work outside the mountains!
Therefore, Su Keha's heart didn't react much to the "first good news" said by the young official on the stage!
However, the second piece of good news made him a little excited.
"Next, the second good news I want to tell you is that our Uko Middle School will soon have a new classroom!" Li Mingzhe said this, paused, turned his body to the side, and said to Cook next to him: "Please allow me to introduce to you, this is Mr. Cook, the EO of Leshen Technology, a subsidiary of Leshen Group. Mr. Cook is very concerned about the education of our Sichuan Province, and seeing that the teaching environment of our Wuke Middle School is very poor and the classrooms are dilapidated, Mr. Cook decided to donate 1 million meters of gold on the spot for the construction of a new teaching building of Wuke Middle School! Here, on behalf of the education community in Sichuan Province, I would like to thank Mr. Cook for his generosity, and let us once again express my gratitude to Mr. Cook with warm applause! ”
After Lee Ming-che finished speaking, he took the lead and applauded!
This time, without his drive, many students and teachers in the audience spontaneously clapped their hands! Especially those students, after hearing the news, they were even more excited to blush, clapped their hands vigorously, and slapped their hands red!
"Great, we're going to have a new classroom! Finally, you don't have to worry about these broken houses collapsing one day! "This time, Sukha clapped his hands sincerely! As a veteran teacher at Uko Middle School, he worries most about the classrooms at Uco Middle School. These houses are decades old, dilapidated and in danger of collapsing at any moment. Spring is about to start again, and when the rainy season comes, Sukha's worries are getting worse day by day. Hearing this news, Sukha felt that she could finally feel a little more relieved!
The next procedure was a bit boring, but some of the leaders above took turns to come up to the stage to speak, Sukha didn't listen much, he only heard the last one, that is, the principal of their school said that after all the class teachers dismissed the meeting, they would go to the warehouse to collect the virtual teaching equipment, and at the same time do a good job in the statistics and distribution of students in the class. At the same time, starting today, they, the class teachers and classroom teachers, will also use the evenings, Saturdays and Sundays to conduct a week-long training on the use of the use.
For this new technology, Sukha did not report much hope. In his opinion, this virtual school is far less real than a new school. However, since it was the principal's order, Sukha still had to do it.
After the meeting ended, Sukhha, along with several other class teachers at the school, went to the school's warehouse to pick up the so-called "virtual equipment". There, he saw a dozen cardboard boxes piled on the ground. Two of the boxes had been opened, revealing small white boxes.
The boxes were small, almost the size of a cigarette case. Seeing such a small thing, Sukha was even less hopeful about this so-called "virtual teaching" device. He'd seen computers in the county, and those were big guys, like big TVs. How many functions can be done so small?
Despite not giving up hope, Sukha carefully signed his name on the collection book, and marked it with "Senior Three (1) Class, a total of fifty-three". It was the number of all the children and teachers in their class combined, and Sukha remembered it very well.
After registering, Sukha counted fifty-three small white boxes with the help of the staff, packed them in plastic bags, and then carried the bags back to work. Although there are fifty-three, the boxes are light and easy to carry in your hand. Sukha didn't have the heart to think about these gadgets, he had to rush to math class. In today's class, he has to correct the exam papers of the last monthly exam.
Back in the dilapidated classroom, Sukha casually put the bag in the corner of the wall, and then took the papers on the lectern to the class leader and asked him to distribute the test papers to everyone. He then glanced around at the students in the classroom who were still excitedly talking about the new classroom, coughed and said, "Everyone, be quiet! Next, let's talk about the papers of the monthly exam! In this exam, the results of our class were generally not satisfactory, and many students made mistakes that should not have occurred! There are still a few key knowledge points that I have highlighted before, and there are still many people who have not mastered them......"
Sukhha said as she turned to write the formula on the shabby blackboard. (To be continued.) )
