The first batch of official documents from the Education Bureau soon announced that with the existing 40 schools, primary and junior high schools, all belong to compulsory education, and families only have to bear a part of the tuition and miscellaneous fees, about 2-3 yuan for a semester of primary school, and about 4-5 yuan for middle school, which may be more than two years ago, for most of the citizens of Baotou, it is a very huge expenditure, but for the current wage situation in Baotou, it is not large at all, and any family with a worker can afford it.

It is precisely because the burden of every family is not large, including Yang Yuanzhao, they have not noticed the problem of this official document, because in their opinion, parents just pay the miscellaneous expenses, and the rest is borne by Baotou, and the investment in education in Baotou is a bit amazing, because it is a general education, mainly Western-style education, and there will even be some foreign teachers, even if they are domestic, except for the old masters who will use the old language and so on, the rest are basically hiring new students. Take a school of 2,400 people as an example, at least 240 teachers are needed, in order to dig teachers across the country, Baotou regardless of the cost, but the annual expenditure of teachers' salaries, will exceed 500,000, not to mention the teaching and fixed investment, on average, each child, will be subsidized 30-40 yuan, in this way, the entire Baotou, according to the current number of 300,000 students, is 600-8 million US dollars of investment, this number, will be based on the depth of student learning, If it weren't for the huge tax revenue in Baotou, it would not be able to support this, which is equivalent to saying that 1.2 million yuan will be directly invested in education every month, which is just a city, and the number will continue to increase with the expansion of the city scale in the future.

These inputs, the citizens can't see, they won't know, how much Baotou has paid, education is a fixed, belongs to the government's investment, for a single family, some children over 10 years old, more or less can help the family, Baotou has no hard rules, do not hire child labor, Baotou company and Baotou Chamber of Commerce of the factory, because Yang Yuanzhao pays attention to the file, and has said some regulations before, basically do not employ workers under the age of 18, but Baotou factory is numerous, some small, Workshop-style factories will still use some child labor, child labor is cheap, and it is still useful to reduce costs and increase profits.

Perhaps because of this, child labor can earn money, the first batch of compulsory education plans of the Education Bureau, unexpectedly no one cared about, and the school is expected to open in April, but it has received less than 1,000 registrations, compared with the 300,000 school-age population, the difference is huge, a difference of 300 times.

But this is also very normal, the requirements and ideas of the common people, has always been very simple, do not seek to be rich and expensive, only seek peace, if you don't come to Baotou, with so much salary, and the unique environment of Baotou, even a thousand people may not have, you know, before dozens of schools, their total number is also more than 3000 people. As a result, even Yang Yuanzhao did not expect that the education he wanted to popularize would be met with the frustration of ordinary people, painstaking management, and even direct conflict with shareholders, and the establishment of compulsory education would be resisted at the level of the people, and even some shareholders began to say that since the people do not want to learn, it is better to reduce the proportion of education.

For another person, maybe he agreed, but Yang Yuanzhao is very firm, will not be so retreating, education is he optimistic, decided to go on with all his might, a certain process dù above, related to the key to the future, Baotou wants to have a sustainable development ability, become the core and engine of the whole China, education problems must be solved, not only the education of primary and secondary schools, but also the task of a university, even the popularization of primary and secondary schools, can not be done, let alone universities, this task has been hung up for almost 2 years, I still have to hang up, but it's good to make a little effort.

Sitting opposite Liu Shu, looking at a series of files, which elaborated on the difficulties encountered now, the people are unwilling to send their children to school, this is the biggest difficulty, after thinking for a long time, Yang Yuanzhao summed up some things, as far as future generations are concerned, many rural areas do not want their children to go to school, in the eyes of many people is a waste of time, but compulsory education, not only for schools, but also for students, a certain amount of time, to avoid this problem.

It's a pity that now Baotou can't do this, because the number of schools is not enough, even in each class, there are more than 100 people, but less than 200,000 people, so there is no way to guarantee teaching, which is very huge for the school's teachers and pressure, not an easy problem to solve.

Since this road can't go through, there is only another way, with a lure, the student itself is a wealth, give automatic students to learn a certain reward, this is also what Baotou should do, Yang Yuanzhao thought carefully, did not choose a direct low parent reward method, that will cause the collapse of the entire Baotou skilled worker system, he chose the scholarship system.

All students in Baotou will be popularized with scholarships, and the coverage will reach 80, and the first class is about 120 yuan per academic year, which is equivalent to half of the salary of an ordinary worker, and it is also a formal worker, and the lowest will also reach 50 yuan, so that on average, according to the coverage rate of about 80, the basic figure of an average of 60 yuan, the annual investment will be 15 million, although this money is much, it is also within the scope of acceptance, and the high salary seems to be a net expenditure, but it cultivates the entire market on a certain course. Baotou can have a higher market than Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and the key is to raise wages and cultivate the market, when the tax is fixed, especially the consumption tax and value-added tax systems have been raised, and the money will be consumed in a certain way, and then return to the fiscal revenue, coupled with the rise of fiscal revenue, the annual investment will exceed 30 million, which is acceptable.

60 yuan a month, which is a lot of income for a 12-month school year, and every student will be provided with a free lunch at noon, a glass of milk in the morning, to improve their physical quality, which is equivalent to saying that on the side, reducing the burden on the family, and every person who becomes a student, on the household register, will be marked separately, enjoy 10 catties of meat, 10 catties of eggs and 5 catties of oil per month.

The former is a reward of money, the latter is simply a reward for real materials, the price of Baotou is a little higher than that of other places, meat is good to say, eggs and oil are relatively less, this reward is very attractive.

Direct reward is one aspect, the other aspect, also began to prohibit child labor, Baotou even issued a special bill, within the scope of the whole Baotou, a comprehensive ban on child labor, anyone who employs child labor under the age of 18, once found will be fined 50,000 yuan, one counts one, no upper limit.

The employment of child labor, are some small workshops, small factories, they can reduce the input in child labor, reduce wages, but child labor itself is not a qualified worker, before reaching a fragile balance, but now Baotou in the case of the prohibition of the above, no one will violate the wind, in the past two years, the Baotou Chamber of Commerce for all aspects of management are relatively loose, but the war against bandits, there are some penalties for violating the regulations, a certain amount of dù above, Baotou for this aspect, is absolutely not soft.

After learning of the order of the Baotou Municipal Government, these small workshops and factories dismissed these child laborers almost immediately, and none of them dared to defy the law and see if Baotou dared to impose a fine of 50,000 yuan.

The wages of child labor are not high, but those who are willing to send their children to do child labor have such and such needs or reasons, after the first dismissal, or let the stable Baotou fluctuate, fortunately, the number of these people is small, only less than 40,000, and the Education Bureau at the same time promulgated the compulsory education incentive plan, which has attracted the attention of countless people, in a sense, parents do not want students to go to school, there is no concept of going to school, now going to school can not only obtain material benefits, but also scholarships, In their opinion, this scholarship is to give bonuses to children according to the level of grades, and there are such benefits in going to school, why not go to it, not to say that it is first-class, even if it is the weakest, it can have dozens of yuan, if there are more students in the family, not only can you get material rewards, but also can accumulate a lot of money.

This order of the Education Bureau, within a day, spread to all places, almost everyone in Baotou knew the benefits of going to school, and the number of people who signed up began to increase wildly.

The first batch of personnel is limited, coupled with the pressure from all sides, such as school buildings, such as teachers, temporarily 40 schools are more suitable, in order to start education as early as possible, even each class is stuffed into about 120 people, fortunately, the classrooms are relatively large, most of them are the most basic first-year students, after all, the teenagers of this era, unless they are from a wealthy family or a landlord, they have basically zero Western-style education, and they can master about 100 Chinese characters, which is already good.

A class squeezed into 80 people, or even a school, 6 grades, 60 classes, more than ninety percent of the first grade, the rest, is a small part of the improvement class, so that 120,000 people were arranged at once, plus 10 junior high schools, which is equivalent to, more than half of the school-age children in Baotou, will sign up for the school, and even the number slightly exceeds the total number, but also need to be identified by examinations and other methods, in short, after two months of vigorous vigor, the first batch of students were enrolled in the school. The final count of the Education Bureau was 143,788, which became an important node in the history books of later generations. R1152
