456 Plenary Session (8)

After confirming that their collective will carry out modern education on a large scale without scruples in the future and open up the wisdom of the people, everyone started further discussions on this issue. To read the latest chapters, please lock in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info even if they are not afraid of revealing the origin, if they want to really pass on the skills they have mastered, it is not a simple matter for them to pass on the public.

First of all, it is difficult to find the "raw materials" for apprentices -- even in modern times, most of them do not begin to study until they enter a higher education institution, and before that, everyone has to go through a 12-year systematic education at the primary, junior and senior high schools, and those who enter vocational schools have at least nine years of compulsory education before they are divided into majors.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was obviously impossible to find middle school graduates, and if they wanted to teach students calculus, they had to start teaching the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. No matter how talented and intelligent the selected disciples are, this process will be difficult to complete without seven or eight years. Just thinking about this is enough to discourage many people, after all, not everyone has the patience to take care of children.

"If we want to disseminate our scientific and technological ideas to the outside world on a large scale, the basic education system must be at least indispensable. Can we further improve our original short-term training system aimed at training workers? ”

Some people have suggested an alternative method, it is not that the crossing people did not pay attention to education, and there is even a school near the main base of Baiyantan. However, the purpose of establishing this school was not to train talents, but to train workers.

"President Guo" Guo Yi, who was in charge of short-term training, was invited to speak on the podium, and as the most vocal "authoritative figure", he provided many references for the old professor's collective apprenticeship plan.

…………

Since teaching mathematics to migrant workers on a whim, Guo Yi's position in labor training has been fixed. From the initial three or five students, to dozens of people who got together to listen to the big class, and then to a group of thirty or fifty students by batch...... His teaching space was also expanding, from a single thatched hut to a few large huts and then to a row of brick houses...... Today, there is an independent campus. Guo Yi also established his name as "Principal Guo".

However, this training has been short-term and has been of a short-term and accelerated nature, with the aim of providing workers with basic understanding and the ability to operate tools in various sectors. To put it bluntly, Guo Yi's job is to provide a better quality labor force for the traversal, rather than cultivating technical talents. Therefore, the content of the teaching is quite simple: in terms of language, it is only required to learn a few hundred of the most commonly used Chinese characters, to be able to understand the general expository text, and to be able to write a note. In mathematics, it is only required to master the basic four operations, mainly addition and subtraction, and do not have too high requirements for multiplication and division......

The graduates trained in this way are about the same level as the fourth or fifth grade of primary school, the so-called "high school graduation" in the old society, but they can be regarded as intellectuals among the local poor. It can also adapt to the needs of most of the work of the people, and as for the skilled workers with other professional requirements in various departments, they will train themselves, and have nothing to do with the short-term training courses of "Principal Guo".

But even this simple training has put a lot of effort into Guo Yi and his partners. From the initial casual teaching of common sense content, to the later compilation of teaching materials, and the preparation of lessons in advance...... I also went to Professor Li, Aunt Song and other seniors who had been teachers to ask for advice, so that their training institutions were well run.

And because of this, they have also got the honor and status they deserve -- the little white-collar bean sprouts of these Internet companies who came out to travel together at the beginning, and they can't pick up their shoulders or lift their hands, and they are dizzy and want to faint after a little physical work. Now they are complacent, and everywhere they go, there are people who bow their heads respectfully to them, calling them "Mr. So-and-so...... The world is full of peaches and plums, but it is almost the same in Hainan.

It's just that after these years of practice and training, Guo Yi has become much more practical in looking at the problem, even when it comes to the field he is responsible for, he is no longer as confident as before, and just tells everyone about the situation in the school, instead of rashly mentioning it.

"Our training courses are voluntary, and the cycle is usually only one and a half months, about 45 days, in addition to imparting writing and arithmetic skills, we mainly teach them some of the laws and regulations that are common on the island, so that these people don't come out with a black eye, and they don't know that they have been deceived and deceived."

"Most of the people we train are adults, and they have a strong initiative to learn all kinds of knowledge and skills, because they know that they can use these things immediately after they learn them...... It's just that they are generally older. In this era, the average working person often begins to age in their thirties, and their memory and comprehension deteriorate, making it more difficult to learn. If you want to choose disciples from among these people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pick the one you like. ”

"What about the younger ones? Aren't there young people in their twenties, teens? ”

Someone immediately asked, but Guo Yi sighed with both hands:

"Young people do, but their minds are often not in this area. We have found more than once that some parents are very serious about learning these things on their own, but they are not willing to let their children learn from us. After saving money, they are more willing to send their children to private schools, or to partner up money to hire a local scholar, or to teach their children the four books, five classics, and eight strands of literature. ”

"And those young men in their teens and twenties, after learning hundreds of commonly used Chinese characters with us, and feeling that they have joined the ranks of 'scholars', often go to private schools and other places to study, and sometimes they would rather pay to attend private schools than continue to study with us."

Guo Yi said this with a faint trace of resentment, but he knew very well the reason - in fact, anyone in the venue who was more familiar with the psychological conditions of the Ming Dynasty people, such as Professor Li, Ade, Pang Yu and others, could understand that this kind of thing was normal.

-- In the Ming Dynasty, only those who studied the Four Books and the Five Classics could participate in the imperial examination and jump to the Longmen to become an official. Even if you can't be an official, you can be tax-free if you take the exam, and you can be superior to others when you walk in the countryside. Although the knowledge taught by Shorthair is practical, in the eyes of the common people, it is not as "noble" as the traditional Four Books and Five Classics.

In recent years, the people have also made some efforts in this regard, such as the "civil service examination" jointly held by Hu Wen and Wang Pu in Qiongzhou Mansion last time, which used their short-haired knowledge system as the main selection criteria. Dozens of students who passed the examination were awarded certificates, and at the same time, they were recruited into various government offices to serve as officials, which caused a sensation in the countryside.

It's just that one or two such actions are not enough to affect the overall situation, and now the trainees trained by the Hainan civilian Guan Qiong Navy are called "Mr. Er" -- he can be regarded as a gentleman who can read and write in a long robe, but after all, he is worse than the traditional imperial examination and can only rank second. This is a habitual understanding formed in China's thousands of years of feudal society, and it is impossible to change it in just a few years.

"So, even if an elementary school is established, I'm afraid not many parents are willing to send their children to school?"

Pang Yu frowned and said, "Of course, for the traversals, they hope to cultivate future people from their childhoods. However, it now seems that it is very difficult to get the local population to voluntarily join their education system - those who are willing and have the financial means to start the education of their children at the age of six or seven are mostly eunuchs, or wealthy businessmen, who will not choose the short-haired education system, but will definitely follow the traditional imperial examination route.

"It's not absolutely nothing, at least there are quite a few tenant farmers and civilians in the vicinity of Lingao who have become rich because of our education, and thus have unconditional trust in any of our claims, so it is not a big problem for them to send their children here. In addition, most of the children rescued from Shandong last time are now arranged in schools, and a children's class has been set up for them......"

When he said this, Guo Yi couldn't help but glance at Beiwei - this buddy rescued a large group of children back to Hainan, which is a good thing. When the children first came ashore, they all expressed their sincerest sympathy for them. Then they all said that the children should go to school, so they all sent these children to Guo Yi's school.

Now "Principal Guo" not only has to take care of the education of those children, but also has to be responsible for their eating, drinking, and Lazar, so he has to hire a few female nurses, and the cost is much larger. Of course, the money for running this school has always been paid by a large group, and Guo Yi never has to worry about being nervous at hand, but the countless troubles that have been added still make him feel unbearable.

"If you want to choose apprentices, I'll choose from this group of children first. Some of them are in their teens, and it is the time when they are most receptive. In my case, it is nothing more than receiving a big pot of rice-style group education, and if you are willing to take it with you and teach it alone, you may be able to be a good assistant in the future. ”

Hearing this, everyone thought about it, and some people felt that it was too troublesome to take children, after all, although children at this age have strong receptivity, they are also the most naughty and mischievous times. But some people don't care about that, and it's more lively to have a child around. Moreover, adults are generally early in these years, and teenage children can be taught for three or four years to be independent. In the future, even if you can't learn those advanced scientific theories, you can be a good helper.

After that, everyone discussed all aspects of accepting apprentices, and finally decided to take Guo Yi's training school as the basis, starting from his "children's class", and enrolling students year by year to establish a short-haired systematic education system. Before graduating from middle school, the young children who have received the subject education will first take a few small followers out in the traditional Chinese "master and apprentice" method.
