Chapter 293: The Idea of Starting a School
The population of Gaolong Village is a little larger than that of Xiasha Village, with nearly 1,000 people, which is not comparable with Shangsha Village, which has a population of nearly 4,000 or 5,000 people, but it is much larger than Xiasha Village.
The primary school in their village was also banned together with Xiasha Village a few years ago, and now the children in the village go to school either in Shangsha Village Primary School or sent to Longze Town Experimental Primary School.
For Xiasha Village, they are part of the student source that they can strive for.
The two villages of Zhengxi and Xihe are located next to each other, to the west of Xiasha Village, and they are not near the sea.
Among them, Xihe Village is close to the west of the Bailong River, and on the other side of the Bailong River is Longze Town, and there are more than 1,000 people in the village.
To the lower left of Xihe Village is Zhengxi Village, which is about the same size as the two villages, but it is closer to Xiasha Village.
At the beginning, the town built a simple cement road to Xiasha Village, and one of the forks in the road was to Zhengxi Village.
These villages are the source of students that Xiasha Village must win if it wants to reopen the school. If you add some students from Shejiazhai, you can barely put up a shelf.
Although the total number of students in all the villages may not be particularly large, it is enough to have two classes in each grade, from the first to the sixth grade.
After Su Jingya put forward her proposal to reopen the school at the meeting, Lu Mingchang and Lu Mingbing both looked at each other, feeling that it seemed to be a bit of a fuss and a waste of money.
Lu Mingyi was quite interested in this, because he had been the village chief for many years and knew too well the importance of education in a village to the development of a village.
The most obvious example is Lu Yao and his wife, before they came back, Xiasha Village fell like an old man in his twilight years, about to die, and soon to be merged by other villages.
But in less than two months, the village has undergone earth-shaking changes, and many people who have gone out to work have returned to the fishing village to develop, earning more money every month than working outside.
Especially in the past few days, Lu Yao's fishing company has to start paying wages, although the employees on the fishing boat have been silent repeatedly, but in the face of their families, it is inevitable that they will more or less reveal a general tone.
Although the salary has not been officially paid, it is estimated that the monthly bonus is estimated to be more than 50,000 yuan.
What is this concept? Many villagers work outside the home for a year, and they may not be able to save 50,000 yuan.
Therefore, when Lu Yao and his wife proposed to reopen the primary school, Lu Mingyi agreed: "I agree with your suggestion, but just like Mingchang and Mingbing said, our village does not have so much money to do this now." ”
Lu Yao Zhengse said: "Uncle Village Chief, I can think of a way to solve the problem of funds, but there are some policy problems, so I need to trouble you to come forward." ”
Lu Mingyi said solemnly: "Tell me what you need first, and I will do my best to help you do it." ”
Lu Yao said in a deep voice: "The re-establishment of the primary school must not be placed on the site of the original school, it is too small, and it is located in the village, and now there are so many tourists in the village, it will definitely affect the environment for studying." ”
Lu Mingyi nodded and said, "Xiaoyao, what you said is very reasonable, so where do you think the new school site is good?"
Lu Yao said: "On the hillside to the west of the village, there is an idle barren hill, which is just being used to build a new campus. ”
Lu Mingyi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, recalling the place that Lu Yao said, where a fruit forest was originally planted, but Xiasha Village is close to the sea, and there are many typhoons every year, and the fruit trees cannot bear fruit normally at all.
Later, when there was no economic benefit, no one was willing to continue to serve the fruit trees, leaving them to be abandoned there, and many of the fruit trees were later cut down by the villagers and burned as timber.
Lu Mingyi nodded and said: "No problem, it just so happens that we are all here, and we can agree to allocate that hillside to you to build a new campus, which can also be regarded as supporting education construction in the village." ”
Lu Mingchang and Lu Mingbing didn't mean to object, that barren mountain and wild land had no value, and now the bare vacancy there still affected the beautiful image of the village, so it was better for Lu Yao to build a school.
Lu Yao pondered for a moment and said: "Uncle Village Elder, otherwise, in order to prevent the people in the village from having other opinions, I will come forward to contract that hillside land, and I plan to build a private school, and when my reputation is good in the future, I will recruit students from outside." ”
Lu Yao plans to establish a private school that goes directly from kindergarten to high school, and although the nine-year compulsory education is free, the tuition fees for kindergarten and high school are still considerable.
Lu Mingyi, Lu Mingchang and several others were surprised and asked, "Xiaoyao, now that primary and junior high schools are tuition-free, can you make money running a school?"
Lu Yao said with a smile: "The purpose of my school is not to make money, but to cultivate their own talents, when our company is developing bigger and bigger, there will definitely be more and more talents needed, if it is a person trained by our own school, the feelings are naturally deeper." ”
In fact, Lu Yao's approach is the same as that of the children's school of workers decades ago, basically the students who graduated from the school will choose to go back to their own enterprises to work.
As soon as Lu Yao said this, Lu Mingyi and the others nodded in understanding, and he continued to ask, "Then do you still need me to do anything?"
Lu Yao said: "If you want to run a private school, the procedures are very troublesome, for the time being, I want to be attached to the village, run a school in the name of the village, and then consider other things when the opportunity is ripe." ”
"Therefore, I also need to report to the town government and the county education bureau in the name of the village to apply for the qualification of reinstating the primary school. ”
"As long as the government agrees, it doesn't hurt that we can recruit teachers ourselves, and we will also pay the salaries of teachers and school staff, so we don't need to trouble the Education Bureau. ”
Lu Mingyi hesitated for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "Okay, I'll try, but I can't guarantee that I will succeed." ”
Su Jingya suddenly said on the side: "Uncle Mingyi, this is very simple, you only need to write an application to the county education bureau, and what we want to apply for this time is a complete primary school, not just a teaching fulcrum." ”
"As for how to write an application, I also have a format sheet over there, so you can write it back for you when the time comes. ”
Lu Mingyi said happily: "Xiao Su, have you helped others do this before? I just said that it is right to recruit you into the village committee, it is much better than us old guys." ”
Lu Mingchang and Lu Mingbing also nodded again and again, with an irrepressible smile on their faces, although Su Jingya had not been in the village committee for a long time, it really helped them reduce a lot of burden.
Su Jingya smiled modestly: "Where is Uncle Mingyi, you are very experienced, and you are rare talents in the village, and I still have to rely on your guidance." ”
Lu Mingyi and the others were amused by Su Jingya's exaggerated face, and waved their hands and said: "Old man, I want to tell you everything I know now, and then when you take my place, I can retire and enjoy my old age." ”
