Chapter 39 Enrollment Issues
Zhong Wu's study is indeed a problem, although he is still young and has not yet reached the age of entering school, but enlightenment should also begin.
Zhong Yuan has the money to hire the best tutor to enlighten his son, but the biggest significance of letting the child go to kindergarten is not enlightenment, but so that he can meet some friends and have a happy childhood.
There is nothing to replace the happiness brought by friends.
A childhood without a little friend will only be a lonely and flawed childhood.
Zhong Yuan didn't want his son to be a flawed person.
However, if Meng Ti and Xiao Wu stayed here, Gong Shengnan was alone in Pengcheng with his son, and he was not very relieved.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally put forward a suggestion to Mr. Xia - to pay more attention to the education of the children of the company's employees, and to build a school for the children of migrant workers in country T.
Naturally, it is impossible to build a university, but we can temporarily consider building a junior high school and a primary school, and arrange for the children of those employees to study here, so as to avoid the problem of left-behind children.
In the future, we will have to think about building a high school or even a university.
Of course, junior high schools and primary schools are not so easy to build, but you can first consider setting up a kindergarten or something, which is simple enough - find a larger house and invite a dozen kindergarten teachers to come over.
This proposal, of course, is also for his own consideration, but it is indeed a blessing for those Chinese people who come to work in country T.
Who doesn't want their children to be reading right next to them?
In this great era of the rise of China, countless people have left their hometowns for their lives, resulting in an unknown number of left-behind families and left-behind children, and how many of them are stained with blood and tears.
Is left-behind families good? Naturally, they are not good, and they are prone to breed all kinds of social problems.
But for many people, there is no choice.
Children's education is important, of course, but more important is survival. Cangqiao is enough to know etiquette, and if Cangqiao is insufficient, where is there any qualification to understand what etiquette is? Working to make money, so that the family can survive, that is the most important thing.
If you don't accompany you, you really can't afford that feeling.
But if you can let your children go to school in the place where you work, and make money and accompany them without delay, it is simply a good thing to get both fish and bear's paws, and who would refuse?
When Zhong Yuan put forward this suggestion, there were already many low-level employees who had this voice, but their voices were not taken seriously by the top.
This is not only a foreign land, but also a foreign country, how easy is it to build a school here? All the teachers and all the teaching materials need to be transferred from Huaxia, otherwise they will not be able to study in the schools of other countries, right?
The amount of money involved is a little too big.
But Zhong Yuan is different.
Zhong Yuan is a shareholder of Daxia Mining, and he is a major shareholder with a large number of shares, and his voice is loud enough.
The most important thing is that his position is very important in the Great Xia department.
Soon after he made this suggestion, Mr. Xia convened a board meeting of Daxia Mining to discuss Zhong Yuan's proposal.
The results came out quickly – unanimous in favour.
The shareholders of Daxia Mining involve almost every industry that is now developing country T, and the more than 100,000 Chinese people working in country T are basically employees of Daxia.
The need for a high-quality school is not only for the employees of Daxia Mining, but also for those Chinese people from all walks of life who come to work in T country.
So the proposal was easily passed, but with one additional condition - it should be open to all Chinese children, and everyone could have the right to go to school.
Therefore, Daxia Mining has set up a "Daxia Education Committee", and the initial work is to conduct a survey of Chinese employees who come to work in country T - how many employees are willing to let their children study in country T, how old they are, and how much education expenses they are willing to pay.
These data determine the size of the schools that will be built in the future.
As for the kindergarten preschool, because it is very simple, take out a building on the side of the mining area, and then go to Huaxia to hire some kindergarten teachers to come over, and the school will start in early September.
When the school started, there were only about 100 children, many of whom were children of management employees.
Zhong Yuan was not in such a hurry about building the school, anyway, his son Zhong Wu was only four years old, and there were still two years before he officially enrolled.
In order to keep his wife and children around, he directly threw out a school construction plan and asked the company to pay for his ideas, which can be said to be a model of using power for personal gain.
However, when those employees heard that it was Zhong Yuan who made this proposal, no one scolded him for wasting the company's resources, but felt that he had done a great deed.
The main problem encountered by Zhong Yuan, many employees also encountered it, and the construction of the school not only satisfied Zhong Yuan alone, but also satisfied many people in a similar situation to him.
There are too many Chinese working in country T, even if only one-tenth of them have this need, it is a very large group.
At present, more than 10,000 square kilometers of land in country T, from the mining area to the port in Daxia, has basically been bought by major companies in Daxia and has become a special economic zone in country T-Daxia Special Economic Zone.
The construction of roads and factories in the special zone is in full swing, and it is the locomotive that drives the economic growth of country T.
This area has even been sourly called an enclave of China by some Western media, and quite some forces have lobbied the political bigwigs of country T, telling them to be wary of the Chinese threat, and it is better to drive those Chinese people out.
But country T didn't do that.
It's stupid to do that.
Not to mention that the bigwigs who hold power in country T have more or less received money from the Xia family, and they also have a certain equity in Daxia Mining, which will not be unfavorable to the financiers.
Putting aside those corruption problems, the existence of the Great Xia Special Zone has created nearly 200,000 jobs for the local people of country T, as well as a large amount of taxes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the god of wealth of country T.
If you drive them away, who will take this plate? Who has the ability to take this plate?
When the Chinese people didn't come, what the country T was like, it's only been a few years, and everyone remembers it.
As long as the Chinese people do not immigrate on a large scale, it is impossible for country T to drive the Chinese people away.
Moreover, the well-equipped and surprisingly effective Peace Security Company is located in the SAR, who is going to try one?
At present, the cooperation between the government of country T and Daxia Mining can be said to be very close, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is in the honeymoon period.
In this context, after Daxia Mining proposed to build one or two Chinese schools in the Daxia Special Economic Zone, the relevant departments of country T happily approved it, but with an additional condition - allowing the children of local indigenous people to attend school.
Of course, country T will also give a series of policy support.
