1075 Out-of-school rate
Near noon, Huang Fufu, the director of the teaching and research department, came in, along with the new office director Ma Xiaoli. Some time ago, Wang Baoyu arranged for the two of them to check the implementation of the school's clean education activities, and the two of them completed the task and came to report to Wang Baoyu.
Huang Quanfu handed over an investigation report to Wang Baoyu, a thick pile, which made Wang Baoyu suddenly have a headache, just finished reading Luo Ti's project information, he was already dizzy, and he really couldn't stand it at this time.
"You two have worked hard, the report will be put here first, and you can briefly talk about the specific situation first!" Wang Baoyu lit a cigarette and said with a smile.
"Overall, through this activity, teachers have made a big difference in earning money by giving students make-up classes and receiving red envelopes...... Huang said.
"Pick up the problem and say." Wang Baoyu interrupted Huang Fuful's words, he was very busy now, and he didn't have time to listen to a tirade.
"The problem is that teachers have changed from making up classes at school to opening small classes at home to make money, and some parents have acquiesced to this matter to some extent in order not to let their children fall behind in learning." Huang said truthfully.
Wang Baoyu slapped the table and said unhappily: "How can this be, this kind of behavior must be stopped, one must be found, and one must be dealt with." ”
"Director Wang, listen to me, simply dealing with teachers is not the way." Huang Quanfu said.
"Then tell me, what else can be done?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"Through the investigation, the teachers also focused on a major problem, that is, the salary is too low, and now they are all complaining and complaining." Huang Quanfu said without concealment.
Wang Baoyu was angry in his heart, in his impression, the teacher who taught and educated people, that was a glorious and great image, why has it become so secular now? It's all in the eyes of money.
"But our Education Bureau doesn't have the money to give them a salary increase?" Wang Baoyu frowned.
"This should not be managed by our Education Bureau, it should be solved by the school itself, after all, No. 1 Middle School is a key middle school, and the welfare benefits are relatively better. Teachers in other schools, especially in township schools, have basic income, so they can only focus on making up classes to earn extra money, to supplement their families, and to make life more relaxed. Huang Quanfu said.
"Can this be used as an excuse?" Wang Baoyu said dissatisfiedly.
"It's not an excuse, it's a fact. Director Wang, according to our investigation, the salaries of township teachers have not been increased for 10 years, and the salaries of several non-key schools in the county are also very low. Now that prices are so high, it is difficult to make ends meet with an income of less than 200 a month. Huang said objectively.
"Then don't fucking do it, let's go to the sea to do business, wouldn't that be a quick money?" Wang Baoyu said annoyedly.
"In recent years, the turnover rate of teachers has also been increasing year by year, Director Wang, to be fair, no one can always teach hungry." Huang Fufu sighed.
Wang Baoyu frowned for a while, but felt a little sympathy for these teachers from the bottom of his heart, teachers are also human beings, and they have to live, they can't eat, where is the enthusiasm for teaching. So he changed his smile and asked politely: "Director Huang, Director Ma, how can you increase the income of teachers and solve the problem of the flood of make-up classes from the source?" ”
"Director Ma, can you talk about your opinion?" Huang Quanfu saw that Ma Xiaoli never spoke, and felt that he couldn't always be strong, so he politely transferred the right to speak.
"My view is that the first thing is to increase the income of the school, and if the tide rises, the income of the teachers will naturally increase. The teachers' lives are guaranteed, so they don't have to worry too much. Ma Xiaoli said bluntly.
Wang Baoyu has always attached importance to Ma Xiaoli's ideas, and continued to ask with interest: "Director Ma, how to increase the school's income?" It's not okay to overcharge. ”
"Admissions!" Ma Xiaoli said two words firmly.
"Isn't the school always recruiting students?" Wang Baoyu asked confusedly.
"The school is recruiting students, but through my investigation with Director Huang, the dropout rate is not 5%, but 30%." Ma Xiaoli said.
"Why is there such a high dropout rate?" Wang Baoyu asked with a shocked face, looking back and thinking about the Dongfeng Village where he once stayed, it seems that there are many children who do not go to school, but there are many reasons.
"What Director Ma said is the truth, the situation in primary schools can be better, especially in junior high school, the dropout rate has risen all of a sudden, and there are even more in high schools." Huang full-fledged interjected.
With so many children not going to school, Wang Baoyu, as the director of the Education Bureau, suddenly felt disgraced, and he hurriedly asked: "What is the reason why these children do not go to school?" Didn't the state call for nine-year compulsory education? ”
It is necessary to say that in the era when this book was written, it was still necessary to pay tuition fees to go to school, and it was only in recent years that the state completely abolished these fees, so readers should not take it too seriously.
Ma Xiaoli signaled to let Huang Quanfu talk, after all, Huang Quanfu has worked in the education system for many years and has rich experience, and she has been in the Education Bureau for less than a year, and Huang Quanfu has more say in this regard.
Huang Fufu did not refuse, and said with a solemn expression: "There are many reasons why students are out of school, and the most important one is that the family is poor and cannot afford to go to school. There is also a rule, the division of good and bad students at the beginning of the junior high school, which also leads to individual students giving up on themselves and giving up their studies. ”
"Has the school communicated with parents?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"Yes, but even if parents pick up the tuition fees, but the ideology has not kept up, especially after studying for so many years, future employment is still a big problem, so it is better to go home early to farm or join the work, this problem is particularly prominent in rural areas." Huang Quanfu said.
"To sum up, are the two main reasons for tuition fees and parents' concepts?" Wang Baoyu concluded.
"Of course, those who drop out of school because of their engagement and are expelled from a fight are individual reasons." Huang added.
Wang Baoyu heard the words "drop out of school", still feel a little embarrassed, his own dropout belongs to this situation, although it is an old past, but whenever I think of the junior high school head teacher Zhou Lifen read the love letter she wrote in front of the whole class, Wang Baoyu still feels blocked in her heart, it seems that although students have mistakes, the teacher's morality can not be ignored.
Seeing that Wang Baoyu didn't speak, Huang Quanfu thought that he was wrong, and explained: "Although the proportion of this phenomenon is small, it happens every year. Today's children mature too early, where do they know what love is at a young age, they may not be able to talk about it in college, and the middle school romance is even more nonsense! Therefore, in the future, schools should also improve ideological education and try to avoid such things from happening. ”
