Chapter 1016: A New Era (Part II)

Just when things about industry were about the same, it was Cai Yuanpei, who was the Minister of Education, to explain the process of compulsory education in China in recent years, and seemed to be attracted by something outside the door, Yan Shao suddenly turned his head in the direction of the door.

Of course, then Yan Shao withdrew his head, and at the same time made a gesture to Cai Yuanpei and the others, while motioning for them to continue, he walked to the direction of the gate ―――――― quietly.

Fortunately, although Katarina and the others usually want Yan Shao to wear leather shoes, Yan Shao is a person who prefers to wear sneakers, so when he walks, he doesn't make much noise―――――― anyway, with Yan Shao's current status, there is no need to worry about being looked down upon because of the problem of dress.

Of course, at some more important meetings or events, Yan Shao will still attend in formal clothes. After all, it's one thing to have a preference, but it's another thing to have a formal event.

As for some ordinary activities, it seems that wearing sneakers is not a problem?

At least even if Cai Yuanpei had an opinion on Yan Shao's dress, he would never have the courage to bring it up.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Noticing Yan Shao's movements, Cai Yuanpei and the others seemed to be a little surprised, but after seeing Yan Shao's gestures, they still nodded, pretending that nothing abnormal had happened and continued to read there, while at the same time, Yan Shao was in front of the door.

After a slight mutter, his hand rested on the doorknob. Then the door opened like lightning.

Fumiko was directly exposed behind the wooden door, as if she didn't expect the door to be pulled open at all. Fumiko, who was sticking to the wooden door, fell forward first, and when she couldn't easily stand up straight. He still had a look of surprise on his face because of the accident.

"You, you..." Looking at Fumiko, who appeared in front of him with a surprised face, Yan Shao's face was full of pampering, and of course, there was a trace of blame. What's so good about this kind of thing, you have to listen to it outside the door. ”

As he spoke, Yan Shao patted Fumiko on the head, first led her into the room, and then let her walk to her place.

And at the same time. Seeing that Yan Shao didn't seem to be angry, Fumiko hurriedly hugged Yan Shao's arm and said coquettishly. "I'm just curious..."

"Alas..."Is there any way to deal with Fumiko's appearance, Yan Shao sat in his place, motioned for her to stand beside him, and then said to Cai Yuanpei. I'm sorry, Minister Cai, this kid is so naughty..."

"How could it be..."Although he really agreed with Yan Shao very much in his heart, Cai Yuanpei still smiled and said softly on the surface. Fumiko is the age when she loves to play. It is not uncommon for this to be the case, and it is indeed not advisable to be too disciplined at her age, otherwise, it is very likely to destroy the child's spirituality..."

When I say that. In fact, Cai Yuanpei sighed in his heart.

As one of the most famous scholars in this country, Cai Yuanpei was of course also invited by Otsuki Kaoru, and for Yan Shao's sake. Cai Yuanpei obviously had no way to refuse Kaoru Otsuki's invitation. So, like many well-known scholars and scientists, Cai Yuanpei became one of Fumiko's tutors.

It is precisely because of this relationship. Cai Yuanpei also knows a little about Fumiko.

According to Cai Yuanpei's own comments, the child's own qualifications are actually not very good. And it's also very naughty.,Fortunately, the personality is still very good.,At least it's not a child who likes to bully.,At the same time, unlike the children of those wealthy families.,Know a lot about many things at the bottom.―――――― Maybe it's because of some things you experienced in your childhood, right?

Anyway, academically, despite being Fumiko's teacher, Cai Yuanpei is basically at the stage of giving up on her. However, in other aspects, Cai Yuanpei still has some expectations.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Seeing that Cai Yuanpei didn't seem to mind, Yan Shao smiled at him apologetically, and then patted the back of Fumiko's hand a little helplessly, and smiled bitterly at her.

"Forget it, since you love to listen so much, stay here and listen." Saying that, Yan Shao turned his head to Cai Yuanpei and continued. "Minister Cai, where did you just go?"

Seeing that Yan Shao wanted to leave Fumiko in the conference room to observe, naturally one or two people felt a little inappropriate, and even frowned slightly.

However, they didn't have the courage to say it after all, not to mention that it was not a particularly important memory, so after frowning slightly, these people quickly retracted their expressions, making themselves seem to not care very much.

On the other hand, hearing Yan Shao's words, Cai Yuanpei continued the topic he had just talked about softly.

"Compulsory education, due to the current government investment of a lot of funds, especially the support of local governments, so the promotion of compulsory education has made great progress."

"With the promotion of compulsory education into the present stage, all large and medium-sized cities in the country have thoroughly implemented compulsory education. At least according to the statistics of the Ministry of Education not long ago, only about 1 in 10,000 school-age children in large and medium-sized cities are not enrolled in school, and the matter has been satisfactorily resolved after the reasonable intervention of the Ministry of Education and the police. ”

"In smaller cities, this problem is more severe, but it's only one in a thousand, and it's mostly because of some problems, of course, which are a little more difficult to solve. At the same time, the most troublesome thing about education in small cities is the relationship between teachers, because the financial situation has been greatly eased, and the Ministry of Education has no shortage of funds to set up schools, especially with the generous support of celebrities..."

When he said this, Cai Yuanpei's face showed a slight expression of helplessness.

As has been said in the past, some of the gentry in China have a habit of building bridges and paving roads. According to them, it is to do good. If there is a disaster year, there will even be some disaster relief from the porridge factory.

But nowadays, roads and bridges are basically shown by the government. In addition, if there is a real famine. If it was the government of the country decades later, it would naturally need their help. After all, the government at that time could really be called a poor jingle, and if there was no help from anyone, there was almost no way to solve these problems independently―――――― in fact, even if it was helped, there was no help, after all, the government at that time was basically corrupt to the bones, so even if there was some food for disaster relief, it was difficult to say whether it could reach the mouths of the victims.

But now it is different, and the existence of the national government has made the political situation stable. Even if a famine does occur, the efforts of the government can solve the problem in a relatively simple and light way. There is no need to rely on local celebrities and gentry and the like, and at the same time due to the existence of the Ministry of Integrity. There is no need to worry about corruption, at least not too much.

And most importantly...

Even if there is such a problem, it will not affect the overall situation.

And as the government continues to grow, the chances of this happening will only get smaller.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Then, the question arises...

Since all the good deeds have been done by the government, what should these philanthropists in the traditional sense do?

Finally, after thinking about it, it seems that there is only one school.

At that time, it happened to be a time when the national government was short of funds, so a very important task of the Ministry of Education at that time was to visit the door, or hold some drinking parties. Charity galas or something, fundraising for educational funds.

On the other hand, there is no way to build bridges and pave roads, and at the same time there is no other way to do good. Naturally, these capitalists were willing to cooperate with the Ministry of Education―――――― compared with the previous dynasty, they still trusted the Nationalist government in this period. Even if there are some corrupt things, after all, it is still more than a hundred times stronger than the previous dynasty.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

The problem of funding is gone. Naturally, compulsory education in China has also developed rapidly, but just when people thought it was over. A new problem has arisen.

As a large number of schools grow like leeks, another problem arises. Of course, it is not a problem of students, after all, China in this period lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of students.

But what about teachers?

If you don't have enough teachers, what's the use of having more churches, no matter how many students you have? Students can't be allowed to learn on their own, right?

As a result, a lot of problems have occurred, and this is also the problem that Cai Yuanpei and others are most concerned about at present...

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦ At present, there is no problem in large and medium-sized cities, but in small cities, the lack of teachers has become the biggest problem in the promotion of compulsory education, of course, small cities are still good, the real trouble is still some towns or remote mountain villages of the school, there are not enough teachers, many areas of the school are in a kind of classroom but no teacher situation. In many areas, the schools are even taught by some locals who know some words, but these people have no problem teaching people to read, and some others..."

When he said this, Cai Yuanpei couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"That's a real problem." Hearing Cai Yuanpei's words, Yan Shao also nodded slightly.

It's just that at this stage, this problem is not easy to solve, after all, money is no problem, and other things can be solved, but the problem of people, you can't tie up some people and send them to those schools.

But on the other hand, after being depressed for a while, Cai Yuanpei was excited again. "Although there are indeed some problems in terms of teachers at present, on the other hand, the promotion of compulsory education is extremely smooth, so far, three-quarters of the country has built schools, but enough teachers are needed to fill these schools, and some schools in other regions are also under construction, I believe it will only take five years to complete these schools!"

Isn't there such a saying, as long as money can solve the problem, it is not a problem. The same is true at the moment, although the problem of teachers is difficult to solve. But the school thing, since it has something to do with the past. Then it will be easy to solve.

It should be noted that the Ministry of Education also planned to improve the remuneration of teachers. In order to attract more teachers to work in schools, the Ministry of Education has even issued a special subsidy policy. That is, those teachers who volunteer to work in remote mountainous areas will receive more subsidies and so on.

Even, after being rich and capricious, Cai Yuanpei and others also planned to greatly increase the income of teachers―――――― it should be noted that at that time, the profession of teachers was already a very rare high-paying profession, which I believe many people who know about history are very clear, at that time, teachers, especially some university professors, their incomes have far exceeded ordinary workers. The gap between rich and poor is huge...

Therefore, in this case, a significant increase in the treatment of teachers will inevitably cause some voices.

And...

As a country, what China lacks is not only teachers, but also lacks many talents in all aspects, if the Ministry of Education gets all the talents away, then the country is estimated to have no improvement for many years, so in the end this proposal was rejected by Yan Shao.

In addition to Cai Yuanpei, many others also reported the situation to Yan Shao. For example, Liang Shiyi, who is the Minister of Finance. According to Liang Shiyi, in the past year, due to the relationship between the Kuwaiti oil fields and the efforts of the national government itself, although the national government has been trying to maintain a low tax policy. But the government's fiscal revenue still reached a very high level...

Uh-huh, I'm sorry, the latter one must be made up in half an hour~
