Chapter 200 Establishment of temporary campuses and determination of educational policies
Since Xingchen Technology settled in Baoshan, the local area has been doing supporting services, they have established shopping malls, primary and secondary schools, and a new park of considerable scale.
The teaching building of Xingchen University in Chongming will definitely not be able to start in time for the summer semester, so Luo Jia discussed with the local government whether he could borrow the local infrastructure first and use it as a temporary campus of the university, and then move to Chongming when Xingchen University is officially completed next year.
The local requirements for Xingchen Technology are responsive, there is just a super-large shopping mall recently completed, this shopping mall is compared to Wanda Plaza, with an area of 330,000 square meters, after Xingchen Technology got the property rights of this property, the teaching building of the temporary school is settled, and it is currently under intense construction.
As for the outdoor activity venues for students, the local people in Baoshan gritted their teeth and directly encircled the riverside park next door to the mall as a playground for students.
Luo Jia had to sigh, in my country, sure enough, the leadership still attaches great importance to it, and the power of special affairs is huge, and under the patchwork of all kinds, a temporary campus with an astonishing scale was actually created, and a Wanda shopping mall and a riverside park were put together to form the main body of Xingchen University.
As for the accommodation of the students, there is no need to worry about this, there are many empty houses in the Star Battleship, but there is a road between the shopping mall and the Star Battleship Community, and a sky bridge has been built locally to connect the Star Battleship Community and the temporary campus of Star University.
And the Xingchen Battleship Community, which is connected to the main base of Xingchen Technology, has actually come up with a three-in-one design, which has completely opened up the base, the university, and the staff community.
When Principal Raphael came to the temporary campus, he was stunned by what he saw.
Turning a super-large shopping mall into a teaching building and a laboratory building, and a riverside park as a sports field, is really crazy.
In the first phase of Xingchen University, more than 1,000 people will be recruited when it is full, and more than 1,000 people will be placed in a huge teaching building of 330,000 square meters.
As for the playground, it's a whole park!
Although the local people are not without opinions on the allocation of the park to Xingchen University as a sports ground for students, there are more people in favor of this matter.
After Raphael visited the temporary campus, he said to Luo Jia in great surprise, "I really didn't expect it, I originally thought that the conditions would be very difficult, after all, Xingchen University was decided temporarily, but I didn't expect you to make all the preparations." ”
Luo Jia smiled, "It's also a Chinese tradition, concentrating on big things, Xingchen University is considered by the authorities to be beneficial to the country and the people, so it has become what it is today." ”
Raphael nodded lightly, Huaxia efficiency he had indeed heard, unlike the political bargaining in North America, Huaxia's side paid attention to responding to all calls, eliminating all difficulties, and working together.
It's hard to say who is better, but when it comes to the ability to do great things, Huaxia is definitely much stronger.
Principal Raphael pointed to the newly built fence and said, "Isn't it good to completely close the campus?" After all, school is also a part of society, even if it is a gifted student, it has to be exposed to society, and I personally do not want the students who will graduate from Xingchen University in the future to be the kind of young people who live at the tip of the ivory tower, know nothing about social life, and lack the necessary life skills. ”
Luo Jia explained to Principal Raphael, "The reason for the closure is that our students are really too young, the average age is only thirteen years old, I agree with you that university students need to be exposed to society, but as minors, they also need to be protected. ”
Principal Raphael nodded slightly, indeed, Etoile University implements gifted education, and the students are very young, which is indeed a problem.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Jia said, "Actually, we have a large number of social practice courses, but our social practice courses will not be carried out on campus, but will allow students to go out of the campus and go to the outside world." ”
"No matter how big Shanghai is, it can't be bigger than the whole world, right? Open campus, so that students can get in touch with the society, and only the social environment of Shanghai and big cities, such a social practice may be good for ordinary people, but for geniuses, it is far from enough. ”
"Once a month, our students will travel all over the country to hone their will by climbing mountains, overcome dark fears through diving courses, learn about the countryside and plants through agricultural courses, feel the solitude of the desert through desert marching, survive in the wilderness and build teamwork."
"In addition, once a quarter, our students will go to the world to experience the desolation and silence of the Pampas, to the ancient cities of the Mayans to experience the end of civilization, to the East African savannah, to observe the cruelty of the law of the jungle."
"The ancient Chinese people have long said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, so we not only have social practice classes, but also a large number of social practice courses, led by the best teachers and experts in the world, so that our students can learn in practice and understand the true face of the world while traveling."
Luo Jia's language, in the mind of Principal Raphael, formed a picture, the students sat in a submarine, entered the dark ocean, explored the unknown deep sea, rode camels, braved the scorching sun and strong winds, walked through the barren desert, and then the elderly guide told everyone that this was once Loulan.
What a beautiful picture...
For Luo Jia, geniuses should stand at the height of the entire human civilization and move forward bravely, and the traditional cramming education should be accepted by geniuses, and at the same time, they should also accept the exploratory education that enters the wider world, both of which are indispensable.
Principal Raphael was shocked by the future depicted by Luo Jia, and he swallowed a mouthful of spit, "Exploratory education is good, but it costs a lot of money, right?" ”
Not only Luo Jia smiled, but also An Ran, two years ago, An Ran and Luo Jia went to Huawei's laboratory in Shanghai, Luo Jia said, "Do you think I am really just working for money now?" ”
From that day on, An Ran followed Luo Jia with all his heart and supported all the decisions made by Luo Jia, because although Luo Jia is a cunning businessman, he has already passed the stage of working hard for money, and everyone in Luo Jia and Xingchen Technology has a longer-term goal.
One day, human beings will go to the sea of stars, and the people who lead the earth to the sea of stars should be the Chinese people living in this land.
Luo Jia smiled and said, "My dear president, Xingchen University is a university without a budget, we will spend as much as it costs, the future of mankind is likely to be pinned on these young girls, in the face of this great proposition in the future, money is just an insignificant tool." ”
"In short, I will earn the money, and the management of Xingchen University will be handed over to you."
Principal Raphael was stunned, and suddenly there was an urge to burst into tears!
Obviously, Luo Jia is an idealist, and the kind who is willing to pay anything for his ideals, and he is glad that he came to China, because he will probably witness a miracle in the history of education in his lifetime.
Facing the warm spring sunshine, Luo Jia and Raphael walked side by side into the middle of the park, sat down on a bench, talked at length, and said a lot of heartfelt words.
Luo Jia told President Raphael about his overall plans for Etoile University.
In the Western education model, the president of a university is actually more like a manager, that is, a CEO.
The main reason why President Rafael has been able to lead the MIT for many years is because of his high academic reputation and campus management skills.
The real power is in the hands of the school board, and the board of trustees of Xingchen University is naturally Luo Jia, and the job of President Raphael is to turn his ideas into reality according to Luo Jia's wishes, and the two belong to a collaborative relationship.
With Luo Jia's whimsy, although he put forward a lot of wonderful ideas, these wonderful ideas need to be arranged and implemented.
For example, who should lead the monthly study tour plan, what activities should be arranged, and who will host the local host will be these issues that need to be implemented by Principal Raphael and the school management team.
It can be seen from this that a president with outstanding prestige and strong management ability is very important to Xingchen University, Luo Jia can only put forward ideas, but he does not have time to arrange everything in place.
Principal Raphael is a shrewd and capable manager, and according to Luo Jia's ideas, he analyzes and interprets them one by one and proposes the most suitable plan.
He argued with reason and rejected the idea of starting Luo Jia's basic courses and professional courses at the same time, and instead allowed all enrolled students to complete the credits of the basic courses before entering the professional field for more in-depth study and research.
He agrees with Luo Jia's idea of not dividing students into grades, but establishing learning stages, and he also agrees that after the end of the basic course, students should be assigned detailed majors as soon as possible, so that they can enter the scientific research field that they will strive for all their lives.
In response to Luo Jia's question that students should understand the world and enhance their cognition, Principal Raphael felt that if Luo Jia was not afraid of spending money, he would set up practice bases around the world.
For example, in cold Siberia, there is a permafrost research base established by the Russians, and the place is now too poor to open the pot, as long as Luo Jia sponsors this research base for a little money, he can completely pull the students of Xingchen University over, live for a week, invite those experts who have studied permafrost all their lives, and take a few public classes, which will broaden their horizons and learn knowledge.
This is a very constructive proposal, there are so many research bases in the world, why bother to do it yourself, how good it is to cooperate for a win-win situation.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that President Raphael has deep connections in the academic and educational circles, after all, he is ranked second in the world, and the former president of MIT, President Raphael has worked with many research institutions around the world.
In short, a president who has truly led the world's top universities can help Luo Jia much more than he imagined.
