Chapter 222 Academic Centers: Technical Schools and Secondary Schools
After establishing the entire primary school compulsory education system, Dai Yan was also keenly aware of the dilemma of Taoqiu's lack of talents. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Taoqiu is a city with a rapidly growing economy and expanding scale. And the expansion brought about by this kind of city is in dire need of a large number of talents. Although a large number of poor people from the surrounding countries have come to Taoqiu and become the "Taopiao" group, these people can only do some simple labor and cannot do fine work.
Among other things, the nascent industries of Taoqiu, such as shipbuilding, steelmaking, and military industry, required a large number of craftsmen. These craftsmen, Dai Yan also went to the southern Yue Kingdom to dig up some craftsmen and came back, plus the original craftsmen of the Mo family, it was barely enough at that time.
Today, all industries in Taoqiu are developing in a blowout, and qualified craftsmen are a kind of extremely cherished human resources. Dai Yan also wanted to dig up other talents from various countries in the past, but unfortunately in this era, the craftsmen of all countries were strictly controlled by the government, unless they were swept away by the Chu State and the Song State together like the Yue Kingdom, otherwise there would not be too many craftsmen left behind in a country!
For the sake of some craftsmen, it is really worth the loss to destroy the country and sweep the city. There are many small countries near Taoqiu, but most of them have become vassals of Qi and Wei, and even today's Dai Yan dare not provoke the two major powers like this!
Therefore, the only way is to cultivate it yourself.
In fact, in the factory established by Dai Yan before, he carefully instructed the old craftsmen not to cherish their own skills. For this reason, he even issued an apprenticeship reward in the steel mill: every craftsman who taught his apprentice not only had a reward of 60 yuan, but also had the right to take 5% of the apprentice's salary within 10 years!
Under such a reward, the enthusiasm of the craftsmen to teach apprentices has been greatly improved. Later, all the factories in Taoqiu referred to this management experience of the lord and introduced similar incentives in the factories.
However, this way of cultivating talents is still too slow for Dai Yan. He thought of the Lan Xiang of Niu B in the later generations, and felt that it was necessary to copy such an advanced experience!
After all, compulsory education cultivates the future of Taoqiu, and Taoqiu's current problems still need to be solved!
As for this kind of technical school that trains craftsmen, Dai Yan is not ready to go out in person. Because he thinks that this kind of work is actually profitable, as the lord of Taoqiu, he shouldn't always compete with the people for profit!
Therefore, for such a matter, he just gathered the merchants and factory directors of Taoqiu, declared to them that he was willing to let go of the operation of the technical school, and he promised the merchants and factory directors that if they were willing to establish a technical school, the Yi government could give preferential treatment in taxes and school grounds, and support them!
After receiving this promise, the shipbuilding industry and the nautical industry immediately began to unite and created a nautical technical school specializing in the training of shipbuilding mechanics and seafarers, which was immediately welcomed by the whole Taoqiu!
Whaling and the various resources brought back from the ocean made the Taoqiu people see the great wealth contained in the ocean, and soon the navigation technical school became a school sought after by the common people of Taoqiu.
After the emergence of navigation technical schools, Taoqiu's various industries also saw the huge profits contained in this kind of vocational training, and soon various technical schools sprung up. Among them, there is not only the military industry that manufactures high-end weapons, but also the machinery industry that makes steel, as well as the improvement and processing of machine tools.
Among all the technical schools, there are two schools that are valued by Dai Yan.
One of them is the Taoqiu Business School, which was jointly funded by major businessmen in Taoqiu. The curriculum of this business school is almost entirely business-related, not only with the knowledge of memorization and statistics, but also with organizational behavior analysis, administrative management, business communication and negotiation, financial management, marketing skills and leadership training, etc.
At the beginning, the business school was purely a school for cultivating business talents, and then it gradually became a place to develop contacts, and finally almost became another Heze club, and Dai Yan had to be careful about such a potential institution.
Another technical school that Dai Yan attaches great importance to is an ordinary school, and the reason why Dai Yan pays so much attention to it is because of the reputation of the founder and the way he runs the school.
This technical school is called Luban School, and the founder claims to be a descendant of the famous craftsman Luban, and is called Gong Yi Ruler.
This ruler is very technically powerful, and he has researched a machine that specializes in processing wood, and can easily carve a statue of a person out of wood! And the wooden furniture he made, even a traveler like Dai Yan is extremely appreciated!
He had no interest in joining any factory, and after arriving in Taoqiu, he only occasionally used his own skills to process a few high-quality wood products, such as high-quality furniture favored by Dai Yan. The rest of the time, he was just trying to learn the technology, and had some technical exchanges with other craftsmen in Taoqiu, for example, he learned the skills of the Mo craftsmen to process steel by helping the Mo craftsmen design the model of the waterwheel.
When Dai Yan let go of the operation of the technical school, the public ruler immediately applied to the Taoqiuyi Mansion. Dai Yan has always attached great importance to this kind of skilled craftsman, so he took special care of him and gave him the green light all the way.
Because the gauge itself is very skilled, and he specifically set his sights on the lucrative industry of Taoqiu and cooperated. For example, the military industry and shipbuilding industry in Taoqiu require a large number of skilled carpenters, and the public ruler has a unique advantage in this regard.
Not only did he teach his own skills, but he also recruited several excellent technical lecturers from various technical schools in Taoqiu to teach some techniques in other categories, such as iron smelting and brick burning.
He runs Luban School, not only for the purpose of making money, Dai Yan can clearly see the strong ambition behind him! And Luban School even has a school motto that the times have never heard of: technology changes the world!
If it weren't for Dai Yan testing him many times, knowing that he couldn't be a modern person, Dai Yan would have suspected that this person was another traverser!
He obviously wanted to carry forward the wisdom left by his ancestor Luban, so that technology could become a prominent science like other schools of his time! It's like the peasant school that has been following Dai Yan's side!
Although there is competition between the behavior of the public ruler and the Mo family, for such an ideal person, plus his school is also opened in a place like Taoqiu, these have a huge effect on Taoqiu, and Dai Yan is also unceremoniously supportive!
Due to the initial rise of primary education, secondary education is not yet very urgent. Within a few years, Dai Yan issued a large number of education bonds and built more schools every year.
When all the primary schools were laid out in Taoqiu, Dai Yan began to lay out the middle school education in Taoqiu. Unlike later generations, there is no distinction between elementary and advanced levels, but only one category, and like Taoqiu's primary education, it is a four-year education.
Originally, the primary school education in Taoqiu, the time is very tight, primary school students can only have one day of rest every 10 days, and there is only a 20-day break at the end of two semesters every year, and the task of learning can be described as very intense!
Secondary education is even more urgent than primary education! Almost every half a month, I can have a chance to rest. At the end of each semester, there is only no more than 5 days of rest, and the rest of the time is spent studying!
Compared with secondary education, the difference between primary education is not too big, and most of the knowledge in it is an upgraded version of primary education, but the degree of emphasis on the subject is different. For primary school students, language, geography and history are all very important subjects, and after secondary education, geography and history begin to weaken slightly, because the use of these two subjects in primary school to stimulate their sense of honor has been largely achieved.
In middle school, Dai Yan really valued the two schools of mathematics and science. These two subjects attach great importance to logical thinking, and Dai Yan hopes to cultivate this ability in students at the secondary school level.
And these two disciplines are also extremely important for the future technological development of the entire Taoqiu! In order to expand the industrialization of Taoqiu, it is important to rely on the technicians trained in technical schools, but the top scientists are even more important!
For the cultivation of middle school students, Dai Yan is moving towards this goal. There are more stringent standards for learning in middle school and the selection of talents! In the final stage of middle school, there is also a college entrance examination similar to that of later generations!
The admission ratio of the college entrance examination is lower than that of the college entrance examination of the Celestial Empire in later generations! Because there is only one Taoqiu University in the whole of Taoqiu, there is only one final choice for students!
Dai Yan set the admission ratio of Taoqiu University from middle schools at 8%, that is, there are more than 10,000 primary school students in Taoqiu every year, and only a few thousand can go to middle school, and among these thousands of people, only a few hundred can really enter Taoqiu University! However, such a strict system was really welcomed and embraced by the common people at the bottom of the entire Taoqiu at this time!
Because of the emergence of the college entrance examination, the common people at the bottom of Taoqiu really have a chance to get ahead! In a feudal society, especially in a country with strong clan power like the Song Kingdom, the class is very fixed! In this era, there was no inspection system implemented in the Han Dynasty, nor was there the imperial examination system invented by the Sui and Tang dynasties. At this time, in the world, as far as the whole world is concerned, the scholar clan is indeed rising, but compared to the interior of each country, except for the military and aristocratic group of the Qin State that began to gradually emerge and emerge, the other countries are actually rigid internally!
In Taoqiu, after Dai Yan's educational reform, this rigidity was completely broken, making the whole Taoqiu more vibrant! Eight years later, the University of Taoqiu has absorbed the students who have been trained for many years, and a small number of outstanding students from the surrounding countries that have also carried out some educational reforms, and the quality of the entire Taoqiu University has been greatly improved!
As a result, Taoqiu University gradually began to gain the upper hand in the ideological competition with the Jixia Academy. And Taoqiu eventually began to become the academic center of the world!
