In a primary school in District 109 on the ground floor, many nearby people were watching. Xiong Dabiao and some people from subject 13 were carefully inspecting the situation of the school.
The principal and some teachers were talking aside. Olivia recorded these situations in detail. Now it is necessary to coordinate and report all the problems in these schools. This task fell to the 13th department.
So Xiong Dabiao sent some people over early in the morning. They needed to make detailed statistics on the overall situation of these schools from bottom to top in a few days. The most important thing was to check the economic situation in the past few years.
Many people started discussing it on the street, because now that the people from the 13th subject are here, it is certain that education will undergo a thorough reform next.
The president of the Education Association gave a speech a few days ago, saying that he would begin to gradually reform the existing education mechanism. Many people felt that it was useless.
Because education reform has been talked about for many years, but there has still been no improvement in any aspect.
Especially the education at the bottom has been very unbearable for many people over the years, because the gap between the education at the bottom and the middle and upper classes is too big. Many people living at the bottom have also found that students who come from many schools at the bottom, in the end
It is difficult to travel to some good universities.
The only places you can go to are some not-so-reputable universities run by businessmen, and the things you can learn are very limited. Many things are of no use, but the tuition fees are not cheap.
The emergence of 13 subjects today has given many people hope that education reform can finally begin after so many years. Many people at the bottom also hope that they have spent money to send their children to school so that they can receive the same treatment as the middle and upper classes.
Xiong Dabiao scratched his head. The principal said something. He looked at some broken tables and chairs in the classroom, and then asked.
"Aren't these things supported by some tax subsidies in the region? How come they haven't been replaced yet?"
The principal sighed helplessly.
"There is no way. Many teachers in our school are unwilling to stay because the salary gap between the middle and upper classes is too big, so I can only give these subsidies to the teachers, plus the construction and maintenance of the school and various expenses.
In fact, there isn’t much money left.”
Xiong Dabiao sighed and said.
"In the future, education will be integrated, and the salaries of all teachers will be the same. Those that are too high will be reduced, and those that are too low will be made up."
The principal smiled happily.
"Well, it's really great now. Let's leave this matter to you, Section 13. It will definitely be safe."
Xiong Dabiao nodded.
"But we don't have enough manpower, so we have no choice but to go from school to school."
Xiong Dabiao and Olivia were responsible for this task. Other staff came to help them establish a standard review process. By the end of the day, the others would have to deal with other work.
Xiong Dabiao and Olivia could only visit all the basic education schools in the city, mainly because they knew a lot of people, which Wu Lei considered, because they could also learn about some unknown difficulties, etc.
wait.
"What else do you have to say, Lao Zhou?"
Xiong Dabiao asked, and the principal smiled helplessly.
"Actually, there are quite a lot of problems. For example, every time the district councilors calculate the expenses for us, they always take part of it. They have done so for many years, saying it is for the welfare of other people in the area."
Xiong Dabiao understood it as soon as he heard it, and Olivia on the side immediately asked.
"All the names of the district councils, I'm going to check them now."
Olivia and Eric left the school quickly. At the end of the street was the district office. As soon as they left, a large number of reporters came over and interviewed them as they walked.
"I don't know about this. We are just here to handle matters. The specific matters will have to wait for the official announcement from the administrative department."
Olivia did not answer reporters' specific questions about education reform, because education has been a very huge issue over the years, and it involves more than just teacher resources.
Education is also related to the city's talent supply, as well as the factional relationships among various complex forces, especially universities, which are very strict.
Because many factions are competing for some capable people to recruit into their own factions, these factions are complex and use various civil associations as thresholds.
Many teachers are from different factions, and what these factions are doing is elitism, and those students who cannot become elites will be pushed to the margins.
Olivia saw all this very clearly more than ten years ago. This approach is to allow a small number of people to master the most advantageous resources and then achieve success, while the majority of people need to pay the price for their success.
There is no fairness in education, and this has long been established in Bright City.
The direction of this education reform is to cut all these factions into pieces, so that high-quality educational resources can be spread evenly throughout the city, and children educated at the bottom cannot be left without any competitiveness.
Olivia was extremely happy because Alpha had personally come to explain this. They all agreed with Alpha's approach, but Alpha had said not to be too violent.
If it gets too violent, it may have a huge impact on the entire education sector and cause problems. So what they urgently need to do now is to understand the basic situation of everything. Only by mastering the situation of all basic education schools can they start to carry out gradual reforms and adjustments.
This process requires a lot of time and energy, but now Olivia has endless energy.
Soon the two arrived at the district power office. Some council members felt as if they were facing an enemy. Soon the leading council member came over. After Olivia explained the situation, the council member said.
"The part of the education funds we set aside has been used for street maintenance and construction. Is there a problem?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Olivia nodded.
"This is something you within the region have the right to decide."
Eric scoffed from the side.
"Really? Hundreds of thousands in taxes every year, but I think the streets are still the same as before."
The leader nodded.
"Maintaining everything on the street is very troublesome and costs a lot of money. Don't just look at the surface, Eric."
Olivia noticed the panic in the eyes of other congressmen and clerks. Alpha also explained that some internal problems would be solved internally. There was no need to expose them and cause dissatisfaction among the people again. Alpha had talked about all aspects of the situation in detail.
.
"We're not here to hold people accountable or anything like that today. Let's go inside and talk."
The congressmen nodded, and after entering an office, the leading congressman called all the clerks out, leaving only 10 congressmen.
"How much have you embezzled?"
Eric smiled and said that the leader was a little embarrassed. This kind of thing happened in every district. Olivia directly called up a document that Alpha had written early in the morning.
"Exactly how much you have taken away from the tax, state it clearly, and then make up for the part taken away, no matter what method you use, and finally it needs to be returned to the local school."
When Olivia said this, the councilors were panicking at this moment. It has been more than 20 years since the education subsidies were allocated to schools in the region. Such a large amount of money is not a small amount.
"Olivia, we can't get it out in such a short time."
Olivia shook her head.
"It's not that you are asked to take it out immediately, but it is divided into periods. Whoever takes it will come out. No matter who it is, we will definitely find him. You only need to look at your historical accounts to know what you took away.
How much."
The congressmen all nodded, Eric said.
"You also have to pay a portion of the interest on the principal you took away, which is calculated at a certain rate every year. After all, you have already made a lot of money with the money you took away."
The congressmen looked a little uncomfortable, but everyone knew that if they didn't take the money, I'm afraid there would be a large-scale investigation that would frighten many people. Once investigated, more problems might surface.
the leading member of parliament asked.
"Can't we discuss it further?"
Olivia shook her head.
"We can't discuss anything anymore. Now is different from before. Either wait for the investigation or solve all the problems. This is the current course of action of the Bright City Operations Department."
Several congressmen nodded one after another. They also knew that if a large-scale investigation began, they would be doomed and their career in the power industry would definitely fall to the bottom.
And this is not just an education issue, they also put taxes into their own pockets in other aspects.
This is a very complex and heavy problem. If it cannot be solved, huge crises will only occur in the future due to the superposition of these problems.
Finally, the councilors accepted, Olivia and Eric left the district office, and reporters approached again.
"We are just going to discuss with the district councilors the allocation of tax revenue to schools."
Olivia still didn't answer too many questions. They were just starting now. By the time they really started to solve the huge and complex problem of education, they didn't know how much time had passed.
Xiong Dabiao and Olivia basically understood the situation in the school very clearly in the morning, and then went directly to another school, and others also recorded the complete process.
After this process needs to be sorted out, you can then compare it with the next school, so that Xiong Dabiao and his two colleagues can work very efficiently.
Today I need to visit at least three schools to finalize these procedures and then make adjustments, because most schools encounter almost the same difficulties.
The group went directly to the school in District 110 and went to a pretty good fast food restaurant. Xiong Dabiao was already very hungry. He ordered a lot of food, and the store was full of people greeting them.
Because people from the Lightning Skull have been hanging out at the bottom for many years and know many people, their footprints can be found on every street, and their footprints can be found in almost every corner of the city.
This is also the reason why they can get to the point of the problem very clearly. Now they just need to proceed steadily, there is no need to rush.
To be continued...
