"Universal education? Free?" As soon as Zhang Hao finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
In the past, it was just a Beidou Academy. Although it was free, it only had 500 people. In everyone's opinion, Beidou Academy is more like an alternative sect. Moreover, Beidou Academy is provided by Dayang Group, and everyone has no objections.
" But this universal education is different. It will go to Ninghe County's finances. Ninghe County, not Dayang Group - although the ultimate leader is Zhang Hao.
Dayang Group is a business group. Ninghe County is a political body. This is completely different.
??Especially the fact that it is required to be "universal" and all children over the age of eight must receive education. This makes all officials stunned.
Zhang Hao looked at everyone and said slowly: "Who is willing to accept this task?"
Everybody looked at each other. Suddenly someone stood up and said, "I do!"
Zhang Hao looked at the other person, not recognizing him - all Zhang Hao's energy in the past was on Dayang Group and the Zhang family, and Zhang Shengde was practicing in seclusion as soon as possible, striving to reach the peak of Yuanying and even the stage of divine transformation. So Ninghe County was handed over to the second uncle Zhang Shengye to take care of it.
"And all the people who used to belong to Liu Jingming and others in Ninghe County have been evacuated. Most of the recent officials were appointed by Zhang Shengye.
This person was obviously very discerning. Seeing the confusion in Zhang Hao's eyes, he immediately said: "My name is Qu Haichao. I am from Ninghe County and Lanshan Town. I have reached the peak of Jindan cultivation. I am 63 years old this year."
Zhang Hao looked at the other party, then turned to look at his second uncle Zhang Shengye who was beside him. Zhang Shengye nodded.
Zhang Hao immediately nodded to Qu Haichao: "Okay. Qu Haichao, I will promote you to the director of the Education Department of Ninghe County now, and you will be directly responsible to my second uncle.
We will discuss the detailed issues below and brainstorm ideas. "
Zhang Hao designated the education department of Ninghe County as the ¡®Department of Education¡¯ rather than the ¡®Ministry of Education¡¯. After all, for the time being, Ninghe County is just a county and a fiefdom in the Kingdom of Qixia.
Qu Haichao was a little excited because he had to be responsible for a department alone. Unlike others, Qu Hai was very keen to realize that this was an opportunity.
Zhang Hao continued: "Everyone, I think you have all read the 16 words on the gate of Beidou University. It takes ten years to cultivate trees and a hundred years to cultivate people, and a hundred years of planning is based on education!
If we want to develop, we need talents.
As the Duke of Ninghe County, I have the responsibility for the people under my rule; as the parents of Ninghe County, you also have the responsibility to plan a future for the people of Ninghe County.
Free education will be the key work of Ninghe County in the future, and this work requires everyone to work together to complete it. In ten years at most, the people will be grateful for your contribution and efforts. "
¡°At the beginning of universal education, we are bound to encounter a lot of troubles. I need everyone to be firm in implementing it and be prepared to face difficulties.
Nowadays, many rural families regard their children as a labor force. Children as young as five or six start working, and children as young as seven or eight can do half the work of an adult.
This is not allowed. Children must receive education. Only in this way will their future not continue to face the loess and their backs to the sky, and they will be able to straighten their waists and conduct themselves as human beings.
And now, this task is handed over to you. "
Everyone¡¯s expressions suddenly became serious, and a sense of mission came over them.
Zhang Hao asked again: "How many towns are there in Ninghe County now?"
Zhang Shengye said: "We have re-divided the administrative districts. Now there are 110 towns in total, divided into five districts: east, west, south, north and central. Each district has about 30 villages."
Zhang Hao thought for a moment and said: "It is winter now. Next summer, after the selection of Beidou University, popularization of education will begin. Everyone has half a year to prepare.
My plan is to set up a primary school in every five to six villages so that students can go to school nearby. All children of school age must be sent to school for education. If any parents disagree, heavy taxes will be imposed!
Whether they are ordinary people or wealthy children, as long as school-age children do not go to school, each person will be fined 10 spiritual stones per year. Until the child turns 15 years old.
When school starts for the first time next year, children aged 8 to 10 will be admitted. From now on, we will enroll students every summer, and only those between 7 and 8 years old will be admitted.
In the remaining half a year, we will recruit people from all over the county who are above the sixth level of Qi refining stage, have good conduct, are eager to learn, and have no bad deeds. Those who are over 20 years old and not looking old will be fine. Oh, and the most important thing is to be patient and eager to learn.
Those with special skills, especially in cultivation, weapon refining, formations, alchemy, etc., will be given priority. But everyone must be of good conduct.
These people will receive training from Dayang Group for half a year. After half a year, he will start to teach locally.
Every school must have at least five teachers, and the basic salary for teachers is 5,000 yuan per month, which is 50 spiritual stones. Students take exams every six months, and teachers¡¯ bonuses are determined based on the exam results and student results. Bonuses are distributed once every six months.
Also, the school will be equipped with school buses, and all students can choose accommodation or private transportation.
Students start classes at 7 a.m. every day and end at 17 p.m. Those who stay overnight can organize evening self-study, etc.
Each school¡¯s annual allocationis tentatively set at 5 million yuan, specifically to train students, including basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation. Teacher salaries, vehicles, etc. are not included. "
Zhang Hao talked a lot, and finally looked at Qu Haichao: "Qu Haichao, can you do this well?"
Qu Haichao was already sweating a little on his forehead. He really didn't expect that what Zhang Hao had to do was so big: even if there were six schools in each town, the entire Ninghe County would have 660 schools and at least 3,300 teachers¡ª¡ª In fact, it should be calculated according to 3500.
Teachers¡¯ salaries and school investment will be astronomical figures every year. Now that all the tax revenue from Ninghe County is invested, it may not be enough.
You must know that this is the primary school of the world of cultivation. In addition to imparting knowledge, you also need to practice! Cultivation requires a huge amount of resources!
But since Zhang Hao has decided on this matter, he can only carry it out.
But Qu Haichao still asked: "What about those over 10 years old?"
"Go and learn crafts." Zhang Hao sighed, "Now, whether it is Dayang Group or various commercial firms, they are recruiting apprentices. These people should learn some crafts and so on
These people can set up a technical school to train them to learn a craft and quickly become skilled workers! "
Zhang Hao spent a whole day discussing with everyone in the city lord's mansion. Early the next morning, "Ocean Daily" added four extra pages, specifically publishing information on "popular education," including recruiting teachers.
When the news spread, there was an uproar.
The newspaper clearly stated the planning blueprint of "Ninghe County's five-year compulsory education, four-year secondary education, and three-year higher education." Especially for five-year compulsory education, all children of school age must enroll in school, and parents who do not enroll will be punished. The five-year compulsory education is completely free, and Ninghe County officials bear all costs.
As for secondary education and higher education, they are still under discussion. But even five years of compulsory education has caused an uproar. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
