Chapter 500: The First Five-Year Plan (Part II)

"In this way, the enrollment of high schools is not in a hurry to expand first, and the junior high school can extend the school period to three years, so that teachers can speak in more detail, and the requirements for the level are not so high, and then on this basis, the enrollment will be expanded until it is universalized, and the compulsory education stage can be extended to nine years. www.biquge.info The requirements for technical school enrollment should be increased from primary school graduation to junior high school graduation to adapt to it, hehe, the teachers of technical schools should be able to reduce some of the burden, and the speed of learning skills for teenagers who have junior high school Chinese at the age of fifteen or sixteen is much faster than that of hairy children who have just graduated from primary school......", Li Hui quickly had a plan in his heart, but high school is not absolutely not expanding, after all, in the context of the rapid increase in the number of junior high school enrollment, If there are only so many students enrolled in high schools, then the competition for junior high school and high school is too fierce......

But even if the Ministry of Education announces that the number of high school students in China will grow at a rate of at least 20% during the first five-year plan period, it is inevitable that the difficulty of passing the high school entrance examination will increase further in the future. Especially in China, this kind of education model examines hard work first, followed by intelligence, as long as you work hard, the gap between people is really not that big......

"Within five years, the enrollment rate of junior high school will be increased to more than 80% of the total number of primary school graduates, the enrollment ratio of high school, technical secondary school and secondary normal school will be increased to more than 25%, the enrollment ratio of junior college and higher normal will be increased to more than 15%, and the undergraduate admission rate will be increased to more than 5% ......", this is the first paragraph of the first five-year plan of the Republic of China, and what highlights the central government's determination is to continue to maintain the positioning of teachers as a "scarce profession". Moreover, it was promised that even if it was cancelled in the future, the previous special allowance would continue to be paid until retirement, and the effective time would be counted from the day of admission to the normal school, which undoubtedly greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of students to apply for the teacher training examination.

With the support of increasingly abundant teachers, the rapid popularization of junior high school education in Huaxia has the possibility of realization, but it is inevitable that the problem of competing for talents with other departments will arise again, but Li Hui has now completely figured it out, and now there is no external threat of sufficient weight, and the country can be regarded as a smooth weather, and the development of education is not prioritized at this time, so when will it wait? Moreover, using this as an excuse to set the economic growth target a little lower can also relieve a lot of pressure on the government of the Republic of China, which is still implementing such a national economic development plan for the first time.

In fact, Li Hui's goals are not just "pragmatic", if there is no reason to prioritize the development of education as a fig leaf, there is no way to take it out to meet people, and the growth rate after having a plan is actually not as good as when there is no plan, so what is this plan going to do?

However, Li Hui still remembers the serious consequences of setting the target too high in history, and fears that if the target is too high and cannot be achieved, it will deal a big blow to the prestige of the central government, so in the end it is only slightly changed. But even this ultra-conservative five-year plan has taken the Western powers by surprise......

"What? A 70% increase in gross industrial output in five years? Wouldn't that be close to 12 percent that year? The old Chamberlain suddenly gasped when he found out, such a number is simply a fantasy for Westerners. Although Chamberlain had no less than 10% industrial growth in the early days of reform, it was actually only because some "overcapacity" was restarted, and such rapid growth showed a decline in the second year, and fell back to less than 5% in the third year, and then due to the economic crisis (the essence of capitalism remains unchanged, even if the planned economic system is introduced, it can only reduce the lethality of the economic crisis and reduce the frequency of the economic crisis, and cannot be fundamentally eliminated, and the duration of the economic crisis will be greatly extended. And the impact of the war, which has averaged just over 4% so far, is still the result of including the colonies, and the mainland may not even have 3%. In comparison, the economic growth target set by the government of the People's Republic of China is really ridiculously high......

"I hope the Chinese are just talking big, otherwise it will be terrible." The elder Chamberlain sighed deeply and said, if China can really achieve seventy percent industrial growth in five years as declared in this development plan, then China will inevitably become the world's largest industrial country, and this growth is likely to continue for a long time, and one day in the future, even if the entire West is united, it can only barely protect itself......

Although emotionally inclined to the former, the old Chamberlain's reason told him that the latter was more likely, and if it were not for such a frightening growth rate, how could China's industry have grown from an insignificant scale in the late Qing Dynasty to the present level in a dozen years? After thinking about this, Joseph Chamberlain, who had always refused to accept old age, suddenly felt powerless and weak like never before, "Even if you know, what can you do?" ”

Indeed, the British Empire, which once dominated the world, is gone, and even the only feasible way to unite the entire West to contain China has completely lost its viability with the Russian Revolution and the Great Patriotic War of Soviet Russia, compared to distant China, the red giant bear around is always more threatening, the Chinese just want money, the Bolsheviks are fatal!

Based on this predicament, even with the talent and courage of the elder Chamberlain, once confronted with China-related problems, he became more and more cautious, and this gave Ma Jiajun the opportunity to fake the tiger, although the latter was actually a "criminal citizen" who was driven to the Middle East......

However, even so, there were still Turks to deal with, although at first they won a game by relying on the enemy's light enemy, but when Mustafa Kemal paid attention to it, he got a little carried away because of that victory, and even began to want to counterattack along the Tigris River, only to be lured deep by the Turkish leader and defeated the enemy, and the number of dead and captured was more than 10,000 people......

Ma Lin finally calmed down at this time, remembered the domestic order again, and hurriedly ordered to shrink his troops to ensure that his hometown Kuwait and Basra were not lost, but Mustafa Kemal would not give him a chance to breathe, and soon the Turkish elite troops of the two armies went down the river to launch an attack on the historic city of Basra!
