.

Instead of answering Zhao Gang's words, he showed Zhao Gang a piece of information. A few big words on Zhao's homepage came into view

"The development of colleges and universities is a process, and there should be a suitable degree to expand enrollment."

Zhao Gang's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Zhou Changxiong's mind was not right. Otherwise, why would the education issue be involved in the number of students enrolled? Zhao Gang continued to watch it with an unhappy mood...

‘At present, the size of schools in our country is too large. Although it has fulfilled the dreams of many young students who are eager to enter the palace of knowledge! It gives more children the opportunity to receive advanced education and gives them a broader space to fly freely. However, cultivating more talents who receive higher education is the direction that our country needs to develop at present, which is in line with the national conditions of my country's large population. Therefore, the expansion of enrollment in colleges and universities should have a "degree". In a certain period and a certain stage, exceeding this "degree" will be more disadvantages than benefits!

As for society as a whole, various industries should develop in a coordinated manner and synchronous manner. In terms of the relationship between the economic foundation, the level of development of productivity and the superstructure or ideology, the development of the ideological field cannot exceed too many or take too much steps. Education should be a special industry in the ideological or superstructure field. Education can be given priority to development, and the country can make a certain degree of talent reserve.

However, talent reserves should have a critical value, and greater than this critical value may lead to serious and vicious results. If the national economy grows at a rate of 47%, then at present, the senior intellectuals that can be produced in our country every year should not be greater than what society needs.’

"What's this?" Zhao Gang took out a red pen and tweeted a red cross on the word "birth". He muttered, "I only know that pregnant women can give birth, but I don't know that intellectuals can give birth. What's this?"

Zhou Changxiong looked embarrassed and kept wiping his sweat, explaining from the side

"This year, 112 high school students graduated. However, in fact, the current employment situation in my country (specifically, the level of productivity development) is still difficult to absorb all of these 112 high school talents at once. This year, the real employment rate of high school graduates is only 60-70%, and 3040% of graduates cannot obtain jobs in the short term - this means that about 30,000 or 400,000 high school talents are unemployed.

This is a huge waste for individuals and countries! In the next few years, the number of high school graduates will be several times higher than this year. Next year is 260, 320, and the year after year is the first graduation year for students who implement the 9-system education. At that time, the number of graduates will reach employment pressure will be greater. It is estimated that it will reach the end of the year.

For those graduates who are unable to find a suitable place to work for various reasons, how much psychological pressure is they? How much pressure is their parents? From the perspective of economic benefits, when will their investment have favorable output or return? I think if these are not properly resolved, there will be a big mess in society. That's why... "

Zhao Gang nodded. It seemed that Zhou Changxiong had studied this issue for a long time. In fact, Zhao Gang knew that education should be carried out step by step. The development of college education is a process. It must not be achieved overnight! Not only is the improvement of education quality a long-term and down-to-earth process, but the expansion of education scale is also a long-term and down-to-earth process.

If you exceed the level of productivity development and the actual ability of society to bear too much, it will have adverse or even bad effects. The pace of enrollment in colleges and universities should be slightly faster than the pace of development of the national economy. It should not be too big or too hurry, and should not be eager for quick success or instant benefits, otherwise you will fall apart.

Faced with a huge number of "senior unemployed talents" who had just graduated from high school and were about to lose their jobs, Zhao Gang, as the policymaker at that time, felt guilty. Employment difficulties are not because of the mismatch of majors, the narrow career choice, the high vision of career choice or the ideal goal can be avoided! In fact, it is inevitable and direct related to large-scale enrollment expansion!

However, Zhao Gang has his own difficulties in doing this. If he wants to reform the original "elite education" of the imperial examination and promote quality mass education, this universal higher education system is the trend of education development. China's population is huge. In order to enable all young people to receive compulsory education, the country is struggling to support it, and spending huge amounts of new students to ensure the enrollment scale of 500,600 or even 700 per year.

Looking at Zhou Changxiong's very haggard face, Zhao Gang felt a little guilty. In this position, he wanted to do something against his will, which was really helpless. Can Zhao Gang tell Zhou Changxiong that in more than ten years, the world war will begin, so I need to seize the time to cultivate a generation of high-quality Chinese to ensure that the war is won. Is all this prepared for the illusory war in a few years?

Zhao Gang once again felt the constraints given to him by the Constitution, but this is indeed what he pursued to establish a legal society where everyone is fair. In order to overcome these constraints, Zhao Gang obviously had to use his eloquence advantages again. This was the first time he tried to convince others. Zhao Gang no longer remembers it, but it was a fact that the eloquence had made obvious progress:

"As far as the current difficulty of employment is concerned, I think it is just based on a certain scale of pre-employment talent reserves for economic development and social progress. In the long run, in terms of the current development speed of our society, it is beneficial and has a favorable impact on future economic development."

Zhou Changxiong's face is a little

It can be seen that if the person on the other side was not His Majesty the Emperor, but someone else slapped him. Even if he knew that the emperor was in front of him, this top student at Harvard University in the United States did not have much scruples. In fact, Zhao Gang never gave any example of guilt because of the wrong attitude of the minister. Instead, most of them rewarded the ministers after hearing the truth:

"Now, although our country's industry is developing very quickly, the practice of blindly pursuing a high proportion of higher education talents to the national population is not in line with China's national conditions. If, based on China's national conditions, economic and social development plans, we can try to ensure that young people who are fortunate to receive higher education can become talents, try to make them excellent and outstanding talents, and try to make them quickly devote themselves to work after graduation to repay society, the country and their families. In this way, even 10 million or 20 million is not much.

If you cannot do this, even if you have the ability to train 500 or more high school graduates every year, you can only be a senior labor force; if you cannot do this, it will cause huge waste of wealth, talent and social psychological burden, which is the one-sided and short-sighted nature of policies.

Therefore, we must limit the number of freshmen and prevent them from becoming unemployed after graduation. This is also the responsibility we have to face."

Zhao Gang discovered that the worst thing to fool is the people in the education industry. These people have very sharp minds and can see the essence through phenomena. They will not be confused by smokescreens at all. Those words of their own are basically refuted. Zhao Gang tentatively said:

"How about this. Under the guidance of the "industrialization" idea of ​​education, and directly driven by their respective specific interests, the school will charge tuition fees. Then those who can pay the money will go to school, and those who can't afford the money will not go to school. In this way, as long as the tuition fees are adjusted to a range, you can determine the roughly how many students are. Do you think it's OK?"

"No!" Zhou Changxiong's voice was so loud that he was shocked. Later, he felt that he was a little too much. He could lower his voice and refute:

"Your Majesty, have you seen some masterpieces of people? I have also seen these people's things, all of which are wrong. They equate educational power with commodities. So whoever pays more can buy the education you want. For those who can't afford money, I'm sorry, you should not come in. This is exactly the old Chinese saying, "The yamen faces south, don't come in if you have any reason or not."

So generations who can't afford the money stand outside the yamen, living at the lowest level of society for generations, and they don't have a chance to turn things around. That is, those who are rich and powerful think that your coolie's cultural level is too low. You can go to the education *** to have a drink of soup.

In fact, no matter which country in the world, even the most developed countries, its own high-quality educational resources cannot meet the needs of its own country. Which American teenagers do not want to attend high schools such as Harvard, MIT, and Pastry, but have you seen any students in the United States who committed suicide because they could not afford tuition fees? No. A fair society should first be reflected in the fairness of education. If education becomes a high-end consumer product that only the rich can afford, you can say that this society is fair. Can you say that such a society is an ideal society?”

Zhao Gang felt aroused in his heart. Such a person is the backbone of China. He is not afraid of power and dares to seek welfare for the people. However, in order to confirm, Zhao Gang still pretended to disagree with Zhou Changxiong's opinion.

"I think so. Even so, there are still many people who want to go to school. Isn't this a good thing to let this generation sacrifice in exchange for a better life for the next generation?"

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed

First of all, any official school is a long-term investment accumulation of governments for many years or even more than ten years. If we talk about "industrialization", these accumulations are the capital of investment, just like a factory, capital should be rewarded. The return on investment in schools should be gradually obtained through continuous tuition fees. These incomes should be paid to the national finance and taxes.

Tuition income is huge and involves every household in China. However, there is currently no law on charging tuition fees in my country. Therefore, there is a lack of legal basis for charging tuition fees. Moreover, there is currently no relevant institution verification of the income and use of tuition fees. It is easy to fall into the pockets of some people. The country and the people have nothing to gain, but they are just cheaper.

Again, for the educated party, due to the widening of people's income gap, tuition fees have become the primary barrier for children of low-income urban families and most rural families to receive formal education, especially higher education.

This may lead to a vicious result where the poor are poorer and the poor are poorer. This is unfair and unreasonable, and it is a regression to some extent in social civilization. In addition, for the principal, as long as he collects enough tuition fees during his tenure - pays bonuses and subsidies for faculty and staff, purchases teaching equipment and instruments, builds school buildings, etc., he will have a certain sense of identity and accomplishment.

I can't think of what kind of students can such a principal cultivate? The competition among countries around the world is a competition of talents. After all, it is a competition of education, a competition of education system, and the competition of education quality is its core. Look at how many principals, directors, and teachers in Chinese schools are sincerely concerned about the improvement of education quality and study how to improve education quality? At most, they are just hoping and working hard to get students to get "high scores". If this continues,

Can we cultivate more outstanding talents? Alas. China is sad!

As far as the national conditions of our country are concerned, the "industrialization" of government education will inevitably lead to the "profitability" of the foundation of education - official schools - and at the same time, the "bureaucratic capitalization" and "officialization" of school principals and directors. This is fundamentally contrary to the non-profit nature of education, the pursuit of scientificity, freedom and openness, democracy and continuous progress. Such consequences are extremely serious."

After hearing these words, Zhao Gang's hearts were overwhelming. In the context of "education industrialization", the measures to expand the enrollment scale and collect tuition fees were putting China's education into another misunderstanding: it had just gotten rid of the traditional rigid single model and entered the deformity of pursuing economic interests. The expensive tuition fees have overwhelmed more and more middle- and low-income families, and these families "look at students for fear", which may lead to more poverty in this class. The view of attracting education consumption through large-scale expansion of enrollment and thus trying to drive the economic development of domestic demand is short-sighted and one-sided.

As mentioned earlier, the Chinese people have invested in their children's high schools and high schools in an astonishing investment. The ordinary Chinese people have invested so much and sacrifices out of their desire for knowledge and the cultivation of their children! For the sake of their children's studies, many low-income families or poor families have borrowed money to live and have a difficult life.

If we calculate the education expenditure of Chinese families for their children in elementary and junior high schools, we may not be able to save much of their lives? Under such huge pressure of education investment, how many Chinese people will consume unscrupulously, thereby driving economic growth strongly? Due to the pressure on their children's long-term education investment and other reasons, the savings of ordinary Chinese residents will continue to maintain a growth trend.

If Zhao Gang had been able to pay so much tuition in the past, he wouldn't have to take the risk of traveling through time. The risk of traveling through time is too great. However, since the traveling through time is successful, Zhao Gang naturally did not want this mistake to continue. Seeing that Zhao Gang did not speak, Zhou Changxiong thought Zhao Gang did not agree with his ideas. So he made up his mind and said loudly:

"If it must be implemented, please remove me first, so I will not be able to control that much."

Zhao Gang laughed and said:

"Don't be angry, Minister Zhou, I thought you agree with the industrialization of education, so let's try it. Since you are not a person with industrialization of education, let's study together how to do our education well!"

A few days later, a new education system was introduced. The administrative power of education was not in the government, but in local governments or private institutions at all levels. The Chinese government's Ministry of Education has very limited powers, and its main responsibilities are to allocate education grants to provinces according to the intentions of the Congress, and provide scholarships to Chinese students.

All provinces in China have provincial supervisors or directors of education, who are responsible for formulating education policies across the province and leading their affiliated institutions to implement these policies in the province. Private universities are selected by the school associations of the host universities in charge of administrative power. Public universities also have great autonomy in determining the policies and regulations of the school. Chinese universities have their own characteristics, from teaching policies, major settings, examination programs to additional admission scores, and registration fees.

After this regulation, although Chinese education is relatively scattered in administrative management, the society’s approach to school evaluation is relatively unified. Schools must be reviewed regularly and only those who meet the requirements can obtain recognized qualifications. China’s assessment of higher education institutions is divided into six major areas, and each district establishes local universities and universities to jointly evaluate schools in the district.

The review content usually includes the school's faculty, courses, teaching quality, equipment, management and other aspects. After a relatively comprehensive review, it decides whether a school is recognized. In addition to the evaluation of the school, courses in certain majors must also be reviewed and recognized by professional evaluation groups. In some professional fields, such as medicine, law, dentistry, etc., completing recognized professional courses is a prerequisite for obtaining a license.

In addition, there are also clauses that allow private universities in the new system. In this way, public universities and private universities coexist in China, covering all provinces. They are in the purpose of school management, curriculum and faculty.

The main difference between public and private institutions is that the funding sources are different. However, the funding of public schools mainly comes from the funds allocated by the government from taxes. The government provides scientific research, purchases of books and equipment and provides various funding to students; while the funding of private schools in this regard is minimal, and its funding sources mainly involve charging students tuition fees that are usually much higher than those of public schools to make up for the shortcomings.

Another difference between public and private institutions is that the standards for admission are different. Public universities are not only higher than the scale of the latter, except for some prestigious universities;

The new education system has greatly promoted the vigorous development of China's education, and within the following decades, it has become the goal of imitating various countries.
