Chapter 333: Teacher Gap

One-time recruitment, more than 140,000, almost 150,000 students, this is still after the exam, brush down half of the results, from a certain Cheng dù, this number is more than previously expected, itself, the Education Bureau is strictly in accordance with the regulations, only recruiting 5-60,000 people, but unfortunately because of Yang Yuanzhao's emphasis on education, so many people are willing to learn, again and again, until now, there is no way to release the situation, you know, a class of 80 people, is already the current limit.

Of course, Yang Yuanzhao will not say that in later generations, it is normal for more than 100 people in a class, but that is in later generations, all teachers are from professional classes, at least after more than ten years of study, even after studying in a university major, they became teachers through the assessment, such teachers, in this era, there are not many teachers, there are really not many, each of them can be called educators, in this era, it is good to be able to find a literate and able to impart a little knowledge, there are very few professional teachers, 80 people is already the limit, and no more can be taught.

There are students, there are funds, and Baotou's huge financial income is enough to support teachers' salaries and scholarships, but the number of teachers is the key, and there are not enough teachers, and compulsory education is basically a joke.

Since it has been decided that it is necessary to put a lot of effort into education, it is not possible to give up halfway, and it is necessary to find enough teachers to fill these schools.

There are about 1,500 classes in 40 schools, and now there is no way to get 10:1 teachers, almost 150,000, 15,000 teachers. In a short period of time, it is basically impossible. Only 4 teachers can be assigned to each class, which is less than half of the previous reservation. Among them, Chinese and mathematics are common subjects, and each class has a separate teacher, as for the others, there are two, or even three classes with one teacher, so that on average, a class has four teachers.

Even so, 6,000 teachers. It's not very easy, several major Jin merchants have their own channels, and even from the previous Western-style education schools in Taiyuan, teachers are transferred, but for the time being, the number of teachers is still a little insufficient, and they may be recruited for the time being. There are only less than 1,000 people, and this is already the result of all the activities of the entire Jin merchants.

The news was summarized to Liu Shu, and Liu Shu was also a little anxious, and there were less than two months to go. Schools are about to open, hundreds of thousands of students are enrolled, and there are not enough teachers. There will be big trouble, so I hurriedly came to Yang Yuanzhao. Previously, there were only 3,000 students, and the initial enrollment was about 50,000. In this case, 2,000 teachers are enough, and now, there is a gap of 5,000, which is not ordinarily large.

There is still more than a month before the school is about to open, thinking that there are students all over the place, but there are few teachers, what kind of education is this education, he has a headache when he thinks of this, he almost directly pushed open Yang Yuanzhao's door and entered his office.

"Yuan Zhao, you see what you have to do!" Liu Shu threw the information in front of Yang Yuanzhao and said a little angrily.

Yang Yuanzhao glanced at it, he didn't need to look at him to know, it must be the teacher's problem, opened it and looked at it, especially in the number of more stays for a while, he overestimated the strength of the Jin merchants, the recruitment of teachers, and the recruitment of workers before, is completely different, the Chinese tradition is to respect the teacher, a certain Cheng dù above, the teacher is quite high in terms of status and income, especially the Western teachers, the number is small, and it is also in demand, under normal circumstances, it is difficult to attract them just with money.

In fact, this is also the case, Yang Yuanzhao also understands this, and he does not have much hope for the channels of the Jin merchants, but Cheng Dù, who is as small as 1,000 people, is indeed what he didn't expect, this number is too small, less than half of his estimate.

Liu Shu noticed Yang Yuanzhao's gaze, especially the question in his eyes, he was a little embarrassed, he was responsible for the recruitment of teachers, and the people below plus the strength of the family were also working hard, but the previous temptation did not seem to have had much effect, and the number of teachers recruited was too small.

Yang Yuanzhao didn't blame Liu Shu much, the matter had happened, and he needed to find a solution, looked at Liu Shu, and asked calmly: "Can you show me the list of recruits!" ”

"Here you go!" Liu Shu was prepared for a long time, and took the file, the list of 1,000 people seems to be a lot, but dozens of pages of paper are written, just a preliminary intention, the discipline and name of the position, at most a little bit of ability and qualifications, on a piece of paper, can write a lot, some particularly important, and also write some expertise, but there are very few such things.

Yang Yuanzhao calmly flipped through these, and easily changed the list slightly, Liu Shu poked his head out to look, and said with some surprise: "Yuanzhao, how did you get rid of all the Chinese teachers, isn't this the most important thing!" ”

Chinese is to teach literacy, which is more important among teachers, even more important than mathematics, after all, from a word of literacy, to a preliminary literacy, which requires the level of the teacher, quite high, which is also the fundamental reason why only 1000 teachers have been found.

Yang Yuanzhao glanced at Liu Shu and didn't say anything, the experience in the information made him very surprised, most of them were educated in Western studies, and there were even high school students, in China in this era, high school students are absolutely amazing, because there are few universities in the whole of China, and there are very few people who go abroad.

These people are arranged to the teaching of Chinese, in Yang Yuanzhao's view, is a waste, mathematics, physics, chemistry these subjects, is what they should go, although the first year, it is impossible to open up so many subjects, but the future needs them, Baotou is not all open only one grade, 40 schools, 10 are junior high schools, but according to the current situation, there are very few students in the upper grades, and they must come step by step.

Most of these people were transferred to mathematics by Yang Yuanzhao, and they were temporarily put up, so that there were eight or nine hundred teachers and Chinese teachers in the entire discipline at once.

Yang Yuanzhao just kept paddling like this, which made Liu Shu a little anxious, and asked, "How do I find a Chinese teacher?" ”

Yang Yuanzhao glanced at Liu Shu and did not answer his question directly, but asked: "Brother Zelin, do you know how many people in Baotou are literate now?" ”

"Literacy?" Liu Shu was stunned for a moment, and then said with some astonishment: "Knowing words doesn't necessarily mean that you can be a teacher!" ”

"I'm not talking about ordinary workers, you know, since Baotou started to own the factory, it spontaneously formed a group of night schools!"

"I see, you're a teacher who wants to transfer to a night school? But isn't there a shortage of people in night school? ”

"It's not all of it, it's just a part of it, and about 1,500 of them should not be difficult!"

There are now more than 200,000 literate people in Baotou, although not every one of them is continuing to attend night school, but continuous learning, so that Baotou's night school teachers have been a lot of people, in their spare time, to earn a little pocket money, the most important thing is to popularize knowledge, which is impossible to refuse for any intellectual, so the number of night school teachers has always been around 15,000 people, such a huge number, 1,500 people, it is not difficult.

Teachers are everywhere, the status is quite high, the teacher preaches and solves doubts, teaches knowledge, for anyone, it is to be grateful and grateful, not to mention that Baotou has enough financial support, the teacher's salary is not lower than that of ordinary workers, or even higher.

Liu Shu thought about it carefully, with a solemn expression in his expression, looked at Yang Yuanzhao and said: "But in this way, there is still a big gap, besides, night school and teaching children, these are completely different things, do children have the ability to understand adults and the ability to study hard?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, you can say that as long as you are literate, you can teach, but you need to make some adjustments to the textbook!" Yang Yuanzhao waved his hand and said without questioning.

In the past two years, Yang Yuanzhao has established his prestige in everyone, anything, any problem, in his hands, is not a problem, even if it is such an educational problem, Liu Shu of course thinks that Yang Yuanzhao can solve it, so he didn't ask more, anyway, in the end, Yang Yuanzhao will take out the teaching materials.

Yang Yuanzhao in the past two years, the basic goals are placed on the industry, coupled with the lack of strength, did not implement Chinese pinyin and simplified characters, now, has mastered the 54 mixed compilation association such a team, such a weapon is of course to be used, for children's teaching and literacy, Chinese pinyin and simplified characters, a certain process dù, reduce the difficulty of learning, for teachers are not high.

Discussed again, especially in the recruitment of teachers, Yang Yuanzhao instructed Liu Shu to increase his efforts, the number of teachers is very important for the opening of the school, and even in the next year or two, it must be paid attention to, close to 30,000 teachers, the current 6,000 is just an opening, in the future, with the increase in the population of Baotou, the increase in school-age teenagers, the number of teachers, there will be a big increase.

In this case, you can lower the requirements in a certain way, for example, to get some weak points, first do an overall training and improvement, especially for one aspect, so that their ability to bear is a little better than that of students who have no foundation at all, and then slowly learn while working.

Liu Shu took out the diary and wrote down some of Yang Yuanzhao's suggestions, education has become the most important work in Baotou in the future since Yang Yuanzhao paid attention to it, even if Liu Shu doesn't recognize it very much, he is serious, he still has to do a good job in this one, Yang Yuanzhao gave some practical advice.
