"Principal Yang, this year's admission rate will probably be the data you gave me, right?" Long Danyang asked.
The middle-aged man sitting in front of him was Yang Chang, the principal of Qinghe Junior High School.
Yang Chang is actually only forty-three years old this year, but his hair is already a little gray. It is obvious that he has put a lot of thought into education.
He smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "Yes, this is the best result we can imagine."
Long Danyang smiled bitterly, "But...actually the admission rate is still very low."
The overall acceptance rate for the high school entrance examination is now about 60%. Sometimes it is a little higher, but it basically remains above 60%.
Of course, if this were distributed across the country, there would be huge differences due to differences in education levels.
Generally speaking, the admission rate in rural areas will be much lower than the national standard, but in urban areas it will be much higher than the national standard.
This is the current situation!
But what troubles Long Danyang even more is that it’s too low!
According to the data Yang Chang gave him, the admission rate is at most 20%.
This is considered the bottom!
"Mayor Long, you should be very clear about the situation in rural areas. The quality of education in our town is like this, and there is nothing we can do about it." Yang Chang smiled bitterly, "I have tried my best, but the students' grades are poor.
That’s it, it’s already very difficult to improve.”
"No, no, no, Principal Yang, I don't mean to blame you." Long Danyang explained, especially when he saw Yang Chang's gray hair, he was even more awe-struck, "I have always respected people like you, and I don't blame you."
What you mean is that I am not qualified to blame you."
At this moment, Chen Yang had come in.
"Why are you here?" Long Danyang was a little surprised to see Chen Yang.
"Oh, let me introduce you to Yang Chang, the principal of our Qinghe Junior High School. This is Chen Yang, Chen Yang from Taohua Village."
"Boss Chen, I have long admired your name!" Yang Chang stood up and said to Chen Yang with a smile.
Chen Yang quickly stepped forward to shake hands and said, "Hello, Principal Yang, when I was in school before, you haven't been transferred to our middle school yet."
"No, I've only been here for five years." Yang Chang said with a smile.
Chen Yang nodded.
Seeing the list on the table, Chen Yang took it over and took a look at it curiously.
After seeing it, he understood. He glanced at Long Danyang and said, "Sister Long, this is... the proportion of people in our town who are likely to go to high school this year?"
"Otherwise?" Long Danyang sighed, "This situation is a bit worrying."
"Principal Yang, are you so low?" Chen Yang asked with a sigh.
"No!" Yang Chang said with a wry smile, "Compared to your time, I should have made some progress, but it's really not much."
"What's the reason?" Chen Yang asked again.
"The quality of teaching, we can't keep up with those in the city." Yang Chang said bluntly, "Besides, we can't keep up, no matter in terms of software or hardware."
Chen Yang pondered, "If we improve the software and hardware, that would help a lot, right?"
"But there is only so much financial allocation!" Yang Chang said with a wry smile.
Chen Yang nodded and understood, "By the way, Principal Yang, let's go back and tell the children in the third grade of junior high school that I, Chen Yang, will personally provide bonuses. Anyone who is admitted to high school will receive a bonus from a key high school."
10,000, and I will award 5,000 to ordinary high school students. In addition, all those who pass the exam will be released during the summer vacation. I will invite them to our village for a week, and I will take care of all the food, drink, housing and transportation."
Yang Chang was stunned.
"Also, the teacher will also award you!" Chen Yang said again, "If the class is admitted to a key high school, I will award 800 from the class teacher, and 500 from the class teacher for other subjects. For ordinary high schools, I will award 500 from the class teacher, and 500 for other subjects."
Teacher, I will award you three hundred. Tell the teacher this too, I, Chen Yang, will do what I say, and Sister Long is here to testify for me."
Yang Chang suddenly jumped up, "Okay, I'll talk about it when I get back."
"Go!" Chen Yang nodded, "If I don't give you the money then, let Sister Long come find me."
Yang Chang looked at Long Danyang.
Long Danyang said with a smile, "Principal Yang, feel free to spread the word. He will do what he says. If he doesn't give it, I will get the money for you."
Yang Chang laughed when he said this, "Then I'd like to thank Boss Chen first."
After saying that, he left on his motorcycle.
"You came to me only once and you encountered this problem. You are a kid who is throwing money away!" Long Danyang asked.
Chen Yang shook his head, "Actually, I really came to you for this matter."
Long Danyang was startled.
"There are also some children in our village who are taking the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination..." Chen Yang said with a wry smile, "It is not easy for rural children to go to school and the conditions are not good, so their grades are probably not very good. I... I just want to come over and discuss it with you.
discuss."
Long Danyang's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head and said, "Forget it, this is more expensive. You have so many things going on now, so don't get involved."
Obviously, Long Danyang didn't want Chen Yang to get involved in too many things.
Now that he has done well in his business, it has already helped Long Danyang a lot.
"Actually, after all, it means lack of money, right?" Chen Yang asked.
"Yes, lack of money, there is no way to introduce better talents..." Long Danyang nodded.
"Otherwise, in the next two years, I will donate two million to the school every year. On the one hand, it will improve the school's software and hardware facilities, and on the other hand, it will provide scholarships for students."
Long Danyang was stunned.
"Of course, this is not a long-term solution..." Chen Yang said again, "Just like the bonus I just mentioned to them, it can only inspire them to work hard for a short period of time. In fact, in the long run, they have to rely on
Everyone has worked hard for a long time, and the environment must always be so good. So I have an idea..."
"What do you think?" Long Danyang looked at him curiously.
Chen Yang pondered again and then said, "I want to build a middle school."
Long Danyang was startled and looked at him in surprise.
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Sister Long, I really think so."
"Why?"
"Let them go out, receive better education, broaden their horizons...and then feed them back." Chen Yang said seriously.
"But is it worth it?" Long Danyang said seriously.
"It's worth it!" Chen Yang took a deep breath, "If this continues, no matter how good the town's economic development is, the children will not learn well, and we still cannot improve the quality of the population. As for adults, there is not much we can do.
Yes, but hope lies in the children. We can place our hopes on them and improve their quality. This is a great thing for our town, right?"
Long Danyang looked at Chen Yang for a long time. This was really something she didn't even dare to think about.
"I want to open a private middle school to compete with our Qinghe Junior High School. In addition to the junior high school, I also want to set up a senior high school. The main source of students will be from our town. Of course, there are two townships nearby us.
It can attract their students. In addition, there are also students from the next town... Many students in the town have to go to the city to go to high school. As long as we can improve the quality of teaching, we will not worry about no one coming to school here.
