【Broadcast】Pay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.

In the autumn of 1871, Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province, gathered many leaders and officials on the ground of Guizhou at the gate of a campus that still smelled of new paint, and the most eye-catching of them was a bald man dressed in a Chinese suit, who was none other than Song Xunqi, the governor of Guizhou Province.

Behind him to the left and right were a large group of officials dressed in Chinese costumes and wearing peony badges, and next to a large group of officials were many men in suits, old-fashioned robes, or Chinese costumes.

At this time, Song Xunqi was giving a simple speech to a group of students below: "As we all know, our Guizhou has no rivers and rivers, no coal and iron, and not even many fields. But are we so willing to be trapped in the mountains for generations to suffer and be poor, no, we have to work hard to break a path that belongs to us.

The Hadith has a strong country in education, and today we in Guizhou will take the first step to become a strong province in education!

And where is the hope of a strong province in education, and the hope of the elders in the future hometown? It's right here, on you! ”

"As the first student of Guizhou University, I sincerely hope that you can study hard and apply what you have learned in the future, so that you can better repay the sacrifices made by your hometown fathers and elders for you!"

Song Xunqi didn't say it for too long, he just stepped down from the stage, and then the principal of the Guizhou school and the director of the education department came to the stage one after another to speak. The words all expressed the importance of the more than 300 students in the audience.

Guiyang Higher Normal School was the first institution of higher learning in the southwest of the empire!

Although over the past decade or so. The empire has successively established a number of universities and higher normal schools, which are now within the empire. There are nine universities of all kinds and twelve higher education schools, and the total number of higher education institutions is 21.

However, most of these institutions of higher learning are located in the eastern coastal provinces, of which Jiangsu, Guangdong, Zhili, and Zhejiang provinces occupy 15 institutions of higher learning.

The remaining six were divided among the provinces of the Central Plains.

As for the southwest region, the northwest region, the northeast region, etc., there is none.

The reasons for this situation are more complicated, part of it is that the role of institutions of higher learning is very large, many places are competing for universities or higher normal schools to be able to settle in their own regions, and the Ministry of Education's annual support funds are limited, and it is impossible to say that every province will be arranged to turn to the support of funds.

Support funds from the Ministry of Education. Generally, there are many aspects that need to be considered, one is the source of students, the other is the radiation capacity of the school location, whether there are large-scale enterprises in the vicinity, and so on.

Therefore, when the Ministry of Education selects a new university, it generally considers areas with superior comprehensive quality in economic, industrial and other aspects.

Therefore, the Ministry of Education prefers to establish new institutions of higher learning in the eastern provinces.

Higher education is different from basic education, and the Ministry of Education basically treats basic education equally, and even favors those poor provinces in some cases. However, in terms of the support of higher education, the Ministry of Education needs to consider too much.

Under such a big background, it is not easy for Guizhou to be able to run Guizhou University.

The year before last. The Ministry of Education has decided to try to set up a comprehensive university in the southwest region to solve the problem that students from the southwest region have to go to the Central Plains or even to the eastern provinces to study.

At that time, Yunnan, Guizhou, and even Guangxi, Gansu, Sichuan and other provinces were all striving for it, and Sichuan was the one with the best conditions. This is followed by Guangxi.

However, when the Ministry of Education was conducting the arguments, some people put forward opinions. It is said that Sichuan and Guangxi already have a higher normal school, but Yunnan and Guizhou do not have only a primary normal school. As for Gansu, get rid of that belongs to the northwest, okay!

As for Yunnan, some people say that Yunnan is too far away, and it is adjacent to Myanmar and other Southeast Asia, and Yunnan is not too peaceful, and Yunnan and Xikang next door are not too peaceful, and Tusi rebellions occur from time to time.

This can be seen from the fact that the empire has always stationed a large number of troops in this area, guarding against the British and the Ning Dynasty is one thing, but the suppression of the local Tusi is also another important factor.

To put a costly comprehensive university in Yunnan, which shoulders the hope of educating talents for the next few decades of the imperial kingdom? What if something happens?

But some people have said that Guizhou also has the factor of instability in toast!

In the end, after all parties argued, it was decided to put this comprehensive university in Guiyang, not only because of how good Guiyang is, but also because it is really so dangerous to put it in Kunming, Yunnan, nor that Sichuan is not needed, but more importantly, there are some political games.

The settlement of a comprehensive university will bring great achievements to local officials, and those officials will not be soft on their political achievements.

The settlement of a university is a game of officials from all sides, and in the end, Song Xunqi won!

He took the opportunity of last year's debriefing, not only poured bitter water on Lin Zhe, hoping to directly obtain Lin Zhe's direct support, but also made some political exchanges with several other political factions, so that he could get the university.

Originally, the university was scheduled to start recruiting students until next year, but under the influence of the Hadith of the Powerful Country, coupled with Song Xunqi's tenure, there is only one year left in his term.

Generally speaking, the term of office of senior officials of the empire is generally five years, these generally refer to cabinet members, provincial governors, etc., and since the establishment of the empire, there has never been a situation where the governor has served for more than five years.

As for middle and low-level officials, it is shorter, and the county order and prefect usually have a small examination every year, a major examination every three years, and they are usually transferred after a three-year term, but under special circumstances, they will be re-elected for another three years.

According to these officialdom conventions, Song Xunqi should be transferred by next year. Directly tell the old man to return to his hometown, as a high-ranking official at the governor level. In the former Qing Dynasty, he was a high-ranking official of the second grade, and he was only fifty-four years old this year.

And the body is fine. At his age, he can serve another term, and if he can enter the cabinet before the age of 60, maybe he will be able to serve another term in the cabinet at that time.

Whether it is a big official or a small official, they all like political achievements, and Song Xunqi will not hand over the Guizhou University that he has worked hard and even made a lot of political benefits to his descendants, and after he leaves, this Guizhou University will officially open. So what's the matter with yourself?

Therefore, under the vigorous promotion of Song Xunqi, Guizhou University completed the recruitment and hiring of lecturers in just half a year, and the school building directly occupied a courtyard of the previous government.

Then, with the cooperation of the Ministry of Education, Guizhou University carried out the first enrollment of students, and the first batch of students was more than 300 people.

Among them, there are more than 50 local students from Guizhou, and most of the other students are from the southwestern provinces, and there are also many students from the northwest, the Central Plains and even the eastern provinces.

There were so few universities in the empire these days. Every university has a large number of students who want to get in, and most of them are among the top students in the provincial unified examination.

In the past, universities in the empire usually assessed students on their own, but this enrollment model was okay at first, but various problems were soon discovered. First of all, not every student can travel all the way to apply for the examination, and applying for a university is different from taking the imperial examination, because there is more than one university. There are them in Nanjing, and they are also in Shanghai. There are also in Guangzhou and Tianjin.

Students can't go through every province, not to mention the cost of the journey. It's too late, because the enrollment of domestic students is generally in the autumn in July, and a very small number of students are in the spring, and it is impossible for students to travel all over the country in just a few days even if they take a plane.

In addition, after the school enrolled students independently, the first two years were fine, but soon a cheating scandal broke out, because the test questions were all made by the school's teachers, so some teachers took risks and sold test answers before the exam.

Finally, in 1866, the Ministry of Education had to cancel the qualifications of universities and even higher and lower secondary schools.

Every year, the local education departments will issue the questions, conduct official examinations, and give results, and this liberal arts score is the unified score of students.

Students use this grade as the standard liberal arts score and then apply to each school!

Specifically, the county education department is responsible for the examination of the primary high school, and the government education department is responsible for the examination of the higher school and the primary normal school, which are relatively simple, because students generally apply for the local middle school, and rarely say that they apply for the examination of the middle school in other places, and they generally do not accept it, because the middle school and primary school belong to the basic education system, and a considerable part of the funds for running these basic education schools are solved by the local government, and the central education finance does not give much money. As a result, schools everywhere basically only admit local students.

If you are a foreigner, as long as your parents can come up with the ability to work in the local area for a certain number of years and pay less taxes for many years in a row, this is for ordinary people. As for your family's money, it's even simpler, just invest in the association, as long as you provide a certain number of jobs for the local people, you can do the same.

Then there is an easier way, donate directly to the school, and this is also the most popular way for each school, deeply loved by the school, donate tens of thousands, Shanghai's higher high school you can enter, donate more than 100,000 yuan, known as the most difficult middle school in the empire' Nanzhili Middle School can also enter, there are three kinds of this school, one is a genius, who is admitted by virtue of his own talent, one is the child of a noble and high-ranking official, who enters by the reputation of his parents, and the third is the child of the super-rich, well, he gets in by throwing money.

Therefore, the locals in the imperial education system are not only local household registration, but also include the people who create tax revenue for the local area, and the empire does not have the same household registration and school registration system as later generations, as long as you are willing and able, you can go anywhere to study.

As for the entrance examinations for universities and higher normal schools, it is indeed more standardized, and the provincial education departments are responsible for producing questions and exams.

However, it is worth noting that the provincial education departments do not have the power to recruit students directly, they are only responsible for writing questions and giving students grades in basic subjects.

Then the students take the graduation results and the results of the unified examination, and then there are various letters of recommendation, such as letters of recommendation from the principal of the higher school, letters of recommendation from the prestigious gentry, officials, and even ordinary people to send to the universities.

If you're confident enough, you can also include an article or something else that can prove your talent.

After receiving the students' applications, the schools will review the students' grades and qualifications, and then select the students they believe are the best and most suitable for their school.

However, in this process, there is a special situation, that is, because many provinces do not have universities, but students in these provinces must not have no place to go to university, and at the same time, in order to avoid these universities from being too partial to students in their own provinces, the Ministry of Education has a clear regulation: the students enrolled by each university with household registration in the province shall not occupy 50% of the total enrollment.

The remaining 50 percent is given to the Ministry of Education, but it needs to be given to students from other provinces

Otherwise, it will be very difficult for them to compete with students in places where the reading atmosphere is very strong in the southern part of the Yangtze River in terms of the level of students in Yunnan, Guizhou or the Central Plains.

The situation is that although the competition is still fierce, it is better than no hope.

If there is no such policy, taking the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology as an example, then he will continue the early enrollment situation, and its new students are almost all from Jiangsu, especially in Shanghai, not because this school favors local students, but because Shanghai, as the largest city in China, has too many advantages in basic education, and there are six high schools in Shanghai.

Universities in the Jiangnan area like to find students from their own province, not because they have a local plot, because colleges and universities are different from basic schools, higher secondary schools, primary schools, primary schools, etc., these are basic education, and the majority of the school-running expenses are basically borne by the financial burdens of local governments, so naturally they will not recruit students from all over the country.

However, in the case of higher normal schools and universities, these institutions of higher learning are directly under the management of the Ministry of Education, and have nothing to do with the local government, although the local government will also give a certain amount of subsidies for running schools, but this is for the graduates, not for the source of students, because with the graduates provided by the university, it will bring great talent advantages to the local industrial development.

Therefore, the management of colleges and universities is basically in the hands of the Ministry of Education, so the Ministry of Education will not sit idly by and watch all the students of a certain province admit students from a certain province.

Of course, the above situation is limited to government-run schools, as for private schools, there are still many private schools in the empire, and the Ministry of Education has no right to control how they recruit students.
