Chapter 40 Technical Schools
The plenary meeting was quite successful, both the public and private factions got the answers they wanted at this meeting, from the general point of view, the public to private in the Manchester City base is only a small step, in addition to agreeing to contract a few industries to private management, the rest of the industrial management rights are still in the hands of the collective, but then will be released one after another, it can be regarded as a time for the public faction to adapt, I believe that soon, as long as they see the private faction making money, they will also be moved, that is, the executive committee does not mention that they themselves will also propose reform.
The voting for the work attitude and ability of several committee members was basically completed, among which the eldest sister Ren received the highest votes and won unanimous praise from everyone, which is also inseparable from her usual enthusiasm, followed by Zhou Lao.
The vacated two committee members were also voted for by everyone, one of them is the Minister of Industry Lin Youde, as the chief industrial engineer of the Manchester City base, he is like a thousand essential oils who know a little bit of everything, and will always give everyone unexpected miracles, perhaps it is because of this that everyone trusts him, and hopes that he can better contribute to the collective after entering the executive committee.
The other candidate is the nearly 60-year-old old judge, Xu Guoshan, although this old man was not elected as a member of the committee for the first time, but in the original reform of the Manchester City base, in the recent public to private, and the military does not interfere in politics, he is definitely a trustworthy person for collective consideration, after his election will be the main work will be on the law, in addition to the formulation of Manchester City's constitution will also be based on the facts of the new regulations.
Through this meeting, everyone also realized one of the most critical things, that is, the cultivation of professional and technical personnel, which has not been done very well in this area, and if Manchester City needs to develop greatly in the future, it must have more professional and technical personnel.
After the meeting, the factories and mines in the entire base returned to normal production in full swing.
With the important instructions for the training of professionals put forward by the Executive Committee, Zhao Shijie, as the main responsible executor, found those young men and women on the first day of work.
After the crossing, these men and women naturally became a group with several primary and secondary school teachers on the ship, and they were not able to rely on their own skills to obtain a half-official position in the factory under the Executive Committee. Except for An Lan, an outlier, most people can only do secretarial work or errand work.
"Member Zhao, what are you looking for from us, is it the Executive Committee's review of the Manchester City Grand Theatre to be passed?"
As early as a few years ago, these young men and women submitted more than one application for the establishment of a Manchester City Grand Theatre, hoping to solve everyone's daily work through some cultural and entertainment programs, but they have been pressed and not passed, the reason is not only the need for funds, but also the corresponding building materials must be like the reason for the priority of key projects.
First of all, on behalf of the Executive Committee, I would like to thank you for your dedication to the Manchester City base in the past six months, without your night school cram school and language class, the work of the teams and factories and mines could not have been carried out so quickly, to a certain extent, because you let the immigrants learn Mandarin to make communication more convenient and greatly speed up the progress of the work."
"Commissioner Zhao is polite, this is what we should do, we teachers who were born can't do anything else except know how to do this." One of them, a middle-aged male teacher named Xia Qidong, replied modestly on behalf of the crowd.
He is the nominal head of this group, he is more enthusiastic and fair, and has fought for the rights and interests of this group like the executive committee many times, and I think that when someone proposed that they should not distribute the same shares if they contributed less, it was he who defended himself and others, and finally made everyone not be deprived of their shares.
"Hehe, okay, let's stop complimenting and being modest, let's get down to business."
"The activity in the New Year's Day holiday square is very good, even Zhou Lao watched it, saying that you did a good job, which not only entertained everyone but also played a role like immigrants spreading our culture and ideas, and this can continue to be done in the future."
"Really? Commissioner Zhao, Mr. Zhou, they really said yes. As the main undertaker, Li Ting was very excited, and she was very happy for Zhou Lao's affirmation, and the little girl looked at Zhao Shijie excitedly, hoping that the other party was not joking.
"Haha, of course. Zhou Lao also gave special instructions on this, the cultural and entertainment construction work is equally important, and I hope that Comrade Xiao Li will make persistent efforts, and you will need more suggestions for the entertainment construction work of the Manchester City base in the future. Because he knew that Li Ting was an art major, Zhao Shijie said so.
"So let's say our Manchester City Theatre has been approved." The other boy asked excitedly.
"Well, to be precise, it was not passed, but the Executive Committee decided to set up a Ministry of Culture and Education, which is specifically responsible for the education of immigrants and the work of spiritual civilization and entertainment."
"Great."
"Member Zhao, I have long said the importance of education, when was the specific time of establishment, and what are the main areas of responsibility of the Ministry of Culture and Education, and are there any documents for these." The excitement on the face of the bespectacled young middle school teacher shows that his enthusiasm for education is more than anything else.
"Brother Xia, don't worry, listen to me, the main responsibility of the Ministry of Culture and Education is not only to manage daily culture and spiritual civilization, but also to undertake the task of preparing for two schools, after statistics, there are about 30 school-age children in the base, these are children from ** to under 16 years old, it is not a matter to run around blindly all day long."
"Yes, it's long overdue, these children are our future, and they have to be systematically educated."
"Well, in addition, there are not many literate people among our immigrants, and in addition to the fact that the Ming Dynasty uses traditional Chinese characters, even a few literate ones are basically identified by guessing, so the executive committee intends to establish a technical school, where cultural classes are taught by you teachers, and technical practice classes are taught by technicians and engineers from various factories and mines."
"This is good, not only to improve the cultural level of immigrants but also to improve their vocational skills, and after the school is opened, it can also train new migrant technicians."
Zhao Shijie explained the task of establishing the Ministry of Culture and Education through the Executive Committee to form two schools, and then took out a letter of appointment and related documents, and was appointed to the post of Minister of Culture and Education according to the unanimous recommendation of everyone and taking into account Xia Qidong's prestige in the teacher group.
In addition to teaching and educating people, the main responsibility of the Ministry of Culture and Education is also responsible for organizing collective recreational activities, and its responsibilities are generally a bit like a combination of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the Ministry of Education in later generations.
