The four people said goodbye to Yuanping Village, and the car drove on Yuanping Highway towards Tianyuan Town.

Liu Yan drove the car and Fan Jianye sat in the passenger seat.

Fan Jianye told Liu Yan: "It has been less than a month since I took over the overall work of the County Education Bureau, and I am still in the process of gradually adapting and becoming familiar with some aspects.

You have always been concerned about education, especially rural education.

I would like to hear what instructions you have for the work of the Yongfeng County Education Bureau?"

Liu Yan pondered for a moment and said: "Jianye, according to the division of labor among the county leadership, the work of the Education Bureau belongs to the county government.

Since you asked me, I want to hear your thoughts first. Say whatever you think."

Fan Jianye thought for a while and said to Liu Yan: "You once established an inspection team for teachers' ethics and conduct in Yuqing County, and Yongfeng County also followed suit.

Before Tan Yuanyuan resigned and went to work, Huang Jinmu and I were also involved in this work.

I believe that this bold initiative not only effectively curbed unhealthy tendencies among the teaching staff, but more importantly, introduced a market-oriented competition mechanism into the teaching staff.

In a word, it is the talent competition mechanism of the teaching team. Those who are qualified will be promoted, and those who are unqualified will be demoted.

It has effectively promoted the institutional reform of Huaining City’s education system.”

"Market-oriented mechanism, talent competition mechanism, and education system reform. Second brother, if you can think of these three points, it's not easy!"

Fan Jianye continued: "From another perspective, you have actually broken the old system and broken the concept of teachers eating from the same big pot.

Let every teacher have a sense of competition and a sense of crisis, and feel the natural law of survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest in the new era.

It has played a role in further promoting and ensuring the quality and healthy development of the teaching team."

Liu Yan nodded, looked straight ahead, and said nothing.

Fan Jianye saw this and continued: "I believe that many leaders in the city and even the province have also seen this.

Therefore, Mayor Tan Bin must personally supervise the formation and vigorously promote the practices of the Yuqing County Education Bureau in Huaining City."

Liu Yan said in a deep voice: "Well, tell me what you think about the work of the Education Bureau."

Fan Jianye paused and said: "As the head of the Yongfeng County Education Bureau who has just taken office less than a month ago, I think the most important next step is to do a solid job in popularizing basic education in Yongfeng County.

This is related to the knowledge structure of Yongfeng County’s population and the cultural quality of the basic population in the future, and to the sustainable development of Yongfeng County in the future.”

"If you can think of this, it means you are on track and have a clear direction and clear thinking. Let me give you a suggestion."

"Oh! Please tell me!"

“Currently, Yongfeng County’s various indicators in Huaining City are not bad, and its economic foundation is relatively good.

I think that within three years, and the longest should not exceed five years, what the education director has to do is to build Yongfeng County into a strong education county in Huaining City and even Jiangning Province.

This includes the comprehensive popularization of nine-year compulsory education in rural areas.

Let every school-age child in every township in Yongfeng County receive nine-year compulsory education.

If you want to ask me what I think about the work of the County Education Bureau, this is my hope for Yongfeng’s education work after returning to Yongfeng County.

Of course, to do this work well, a certain amount of funds is needed. However, state funding and public schools alone are far from enough. All available resources and conditions must be mobilized.

In particular, we must make full use of private funds and even the assistance of foreign capital, so that we can truly leverage the advantages of the market-oriented mechanism of private schools."

Having said this, Liu Yan glanced at Fan Jianguo sitting in the back seat from the rearview mirror, and then said: "Before, Yinghe Education Investment Company was always managed by Fan Jianguo.

In the coming days, I plan to hand over the day-to-day management of this company to the Yongfeng County Education Bureau, and Yinghe Company will transform from a private enterprise to a joint-stock pilot enterprise.

Establish a company's board of directors. The county leaders in charge, relevant leaders of the Education Bureau, and the company's founder Fan Jianguo can serve as board members and participate in decision-making on major investment matters.

The Education Bureau is responsible for the feasibility research, demonstration, and submission of specific projects.

The use of funds, after approval by the board of directors, will be planned and managed by the county education bureau based on the implementation of the project.

Jianguo knew clearly that the original purpose of establishing this company was to support the nine-year compulsory education in rural areas and truly achieve poverty alleviation in rural areas from the perspective of poverty alleviation through education.

My only request is that every cent of this money must be used for rural school projects that provide nine-year compulsory education."

Hearing this, Fan Jianye said excitedly: "Don't worry! I will find ways to get some support from relevant county, city, and provincial departments for public school funds.

With the support of Yinghe Education Company, we will be free to develop rural schools and may even be ahead of public schools.

This is also a spur and promotion for public schools, because it is related to the competition for students and teacher talents."

"The key is to establish an education poverty alleviation fund on the basis of Yinghe Education Investment Company when the time is right to further attract domestic and foreign private school funds, so that rural education can be made stronger and bigger.

Jianguo and Jianye, you should look further ahead. In the future, this company will not only be in Yongfeng County, but also must develop in Huaining City and even Jiangning Province.

The reason why I am taking you on this trip with me this time is that we brothers haven’t seen each other for many years and we hope to reminisce about the past together.

The second is to let you see the current situation of Mingyang School and Yuanping School.

Of course, from a development perspective, it cannot be said that these two schools are perfect; there are still deficiencies and imperfections.

But at least it has introduced the marketization mechanism, talent competition mechanism, and incentive mechanism that Jianye just mentioned.

The county education bureau can organize relevant personnel to summarize the work of these two schools.

The purpose is to stand from the perspective of the overall situation of Yongfeng County and the height of realizing poverty alleviation through education.

Summarize the experiences of success and failure, as well as the feasibility model and best plan for running schools in rural areas."

Fan Jianye nodded: "I will sort out the relevant materials for the two schools in Tianyuan as soon as possible."

"At the same time, we must take advantage of the rectification of teachers' ethics and ethics to cultivate qualified teachers in rural schools as soon as possible, especially management talents.

From the perspective of teacher talent alone, as the director of education, your job is not as simple as you imagine, and the responsibilities and burdens on your shoulders are not light. If the teachers are not good, poverty alleviation through education is just empty talk."

Liu Yan turned around and glanced at Fan Jianye: "The key is whether you have confidence? If you don't have confidence, tell me as soon as possible. I can put my words first. As long as I am still in the position of Secretary of the Yongfeng County Party Committee, I will ask the Organization Department to change

A confident education director!”

"Don't worry! I'm confident! Within three years!"

"Okay! With your words, I feel much more at ease! To be honest, in the past few years when I was in Yuqing County, I was always thinking about Yongfeng County. I always felt that some things were not done, and I couldn't let go."

Having said this, Liu Yan paused and continued to say to Fan Jianye: "The work of the Education Bureau is mainly managed by government departments, and I usually don't interfere too much.

Tan Yuanyuan has now gone to sea, and her future work will mainly depend on you and Huang Jinmu. If you encounter any problems, you can communicate with Liang Ming and Wang Qiang. Lily will return to Yongfeng in a few days and work under Li Xiaoming.

If you need coordination, you can contact her and Li Xiaoming.

Although you are in different departments and positions, you all came from Yuanping, so you can still cooperate on many things.

In addition, with the start of the informatization construction and office automation system construction in Jiangning Province, the office automation management work in Huaining City will soon begin. In this regard, I will return to the county to seek the opinions of the Standing Committee.

This is what the new era requires of each of our government workers.

I hope that the Education Bureau will pay more attention to domestic cases and experiences in audio-visual teaching recently.

Xiaohong and Yuanyuan's Warwick Company has been established for more than a year and has completed several projects in Jiangning Province.

If you are free, you can lead relevant personnel to inspect and study at their company in Ningcheng.

If necessary, Yuanyuan can send someone to Yongfeng County to have in-depth exchanges and communication with you.

Based on your requirements and combined with the actual situation of the County Education Bureau, we will come up with a feasible plan and submit it to the county for discussion.

In this regard, the county education bureau does not necessarily have to wait until the county takes action before you follow suit.

You can definitely start moving.

If Yongfeng County can be at the forefront of the city's audio-visual teaching work, this will be a rare opportunity for the County Education Bureau.

For some schools with relatively mature conditions, such as County No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School, they can completely use electronic teaching equipment to improve the school's education quality and modern education level."
