Chapter 342: Great Future

Time has entered the middle of the nineteenth year of Wanli, and it has only been half a year since the graduation of this class of students.

The central government of the People's Army issued a decree to all localities to build primary schools on selected sites, with a total of more than 4,000 primary schools, and at least half of them to be built outside the city.

The people's military governments in various localities received the central government's decree and immediately took action.

It is actually very easy to set up a primary school, but the central government of the People's Army has set relatively low standards for a primary school, as long as the primary school outside the city has a spacious enough house to shelter from the wind and rain as a classroom, and the primary school outside the city usually has only one class.

The city is more densely populated, and a primary school can have more than a few classrooms, which can be replaced by multiple classes in an elementary school.

Whether it is a primary school outside the city or a primary school inside the city, it is actually relatively easy to solve, and the primary school outside the city can be built now, and the primary school inside the city can be renovated into the houses under the name of the people's military government in various places.

The People's Army occupied various places, and many of the gentry and businessmen fled because they were raided by the People's Army, and the People's Army had a large number of houses that originally belonged to the gentry and businessmen, some of which were allocated to officials and their families to live in, and some of which were used for other purposes.

It is estimated that by the end of this year, the number of primary schools in the entire KPA-ruled area will exceed 5,000, and so many primary schools can enroll about 200,000 students at a time.

The number of primary schools will increase from more than 900 to more than 5,000, and the number of girls' schools will also increase.

There is only one girls' school in the People's Army-ruled area, and in the city of Guangzhou, the wife of the governor herself serves as the principal and teacher, and the number of girls' schools in Guangzhou will increase to six, and some of the students who will graduate from the girls' schools this year will be selected to serve as teachers in the newly built girls' schools.

However, this time, the enrollment of girls' schools will no longer be limited to Guangzhou, and two-thirds of the places will be allocated to the four provincial cities of Nanning, Fujian, Nanchang, Jiangxi, and Wuchang, Huguang.

There is no way to recruit students across regions in girls' schools, women are different from men, parents can allow their sons to go far away from home, and their sons will go out to break through when they grow up, but it will not work on their daughters, and the concept of parents is that their daughters marry earlier, how can they let their daughters leave the place where the family lives to work far away.

After three years, graduates from the four provincial cities will have to return to their places where they were born and raised, and work as teachers in girls' schools here to teach more students.

The KPA's areas are constantly changing, but it will be difficult for boys and girls to go to the same school for 10 years, and even if it is only a boy or a girl, their parents will not agree, and if their daughters have too much contact with other boys, no one will want them.

The concept of the old era cannot be changed in a short time, so there is a product of girls' schools, but Fang Nan feels that it is good to establish more girls' schools, and girls can learn the necessary skills for women in girls' schools, such as embroidery, if it is a mixed school for boys and girls, there is no way to increase embroidery classes.

In the future, it can also be used in a different way, a primary school can be divided into girls' classes and boys' classes, although boys and girls are in the same school, they will be divided into classes.

The number of primary schools and girls' schools should be increased, but the number of universities has not increased, but the size of the schools has been expanded, which can accommodate more students, and it is expected that in two or three years, new universities will be established in other areas, and Wuchang is the capital of the future People's Army to establish the country, and there must be universities here, and the other three accompanying capitals outside Guangzhou must also have universities.

More elementary schools and girls' schools are under construction, Guangzhou University is increasing the number of buildings on campus, and students are nearing the end of their penultimate semester and entering a short summer vacation.

At the end of the semester, the teachers took out the things that were originally needed to be considered in the next semester according to the instructions of their superiors.

"Students, leave a summer homework for everyone, and after returning home, students will think carefully about where they want to work after graduation, they can join the army, they can become an official in the government, they can work as a teacher in school, or they can enter the university to continue to learn more knowledge, don't forget to listen to their parents' opinions, you must get the approval of your parents."

Let's take things out now, there is still nearly half a year before the students graduate, and the students also have enough time to think, after all, this largely determines the future direction of the students' lives, and many students may not be ready to make a choice, this time the students have more time to make a choice.

After class, the students talked a lot, asking each other where to go, and a small number of students had already made a choice, joining the army, becoming an official, becoming a teacher, and going to university, but more students had not yet made a good choice, and they were hesitating in their hearts.

I want to join the army, but I am worried that my parents will not agree, going to the battlefield is a dangerous thing, and death may come, and my parents washed their faces with tears.

Many students go home and tell their parents about their desire to join the army after graduation, but most of them are supportive.

"Son, your parents don't understand anything, you make your own decisions, we support you, it's good to join the army, the Metropolitan Governor led the People's Army to drive away the landlord's government, so we have a good life today, the People's Army has won a hundred battles, there are still so many suffering people in the world, follow the Metropolitan Governor to let those poor people live a good life."

The most important point for parents to agree with their son's participation in the army is that the People's Army is a winning army, and the number of KPA casualties in the war is relatively small, and only if there are at least two sons in the family, one son will be allowed to join the army.

There is still a long time left for students to think, and there are at least three months to think after the summer vacation, and after the start of the school year, teachers will also interview their students one by one to give them some ideas.

Teachers used to come over like this, out of four choices, they chose to become teachers, some wanted to be teachers all the time, and some were ready to go to university to learn more.

Joining the army, being an official, being a teacher, and going to university are all very good life paths, even the worst-looking "teacher" option has a direction to advance, the teacher is also an official of the People's Army government, and in the future, the People's Army will have a separate Ministry of Education after the founding of the People's Army, and teachers can be promoted in the Ministry of Education system.

Compared with illiterate people, intellectuals have a great future no matter which path they choose.
