Chapter 601 Big Chess! Opening up a public-private joint university in Xinfu area!
People can never be satisfied with this thing. For example, people with a Jinshi background are hard to be interested in the official position of the seventh rank in the local government. Because for them, the official position of the seventh rank is a matter of course and a transition in the initial stage of their career.
Official positions. Now let them take the deputy position of the seventh rank. How can they accept it in their hearts? This is simply an insult to their status and talents!
In the same way, today's college students also have a low opinion of entering local towns and villages to serve. In their minds, their talents and learning are not just what a seventh- or eighth-rank official can bear. Being a seventh- or eighth-rank official
, that is, just for seniority and transition.
This kind of mentality is completely incomparable with that of college students in later generations. In later generations, having a job after graduating from college was already the best way to get a job. Becoming a department-level cadre at the beginning? You can’t even think of such a thing!
What should I do if I am mentally unbalanced? Just bear with it! They think that the current situation is the worst. Little do they know that in ten or twenty years, it will be great to have such treatment. With the popularization of education,
As the level of education deepens, college students will become less and less valuable in the future. Zhu Youjian is now beginning to think about how to further expand the employment opportunities of college students. It is best to let them find private employment!
"Bachelor, since we have talked about the selection of officials today, I have thought about the future of students in the Xinfu area. There must be a group of talents among them. However, because they are too out of touch with the existing academic system of the imperial court, let them apply now.
Many people may not be able to get into college, and even if they do, they may not be able to adapt to the current academic system and studies. What should we do?"
"Your Majesty's concern is indeed a big issue at the moment. Is your idea to follow the previous policy for Shandong? Do you want each university to have quotas divided into provinces? It will take a few years to make the transition first, and then you can consider unified enrollment?"
"Dividing provincial quotas for each university? This is a way, but in this way, students admitted from Xinfu area may not be able to adapt to their studies when they arrive at university. At the same time, it is also unfair to students from Zhili and other places! After all, they have occupied the quota, and other provinces enroll
There are fewer places.”
"Yes! But after all, the imperial court is the imperial court of the whole world. When recruiting scholars and selecting officials, you still have to take into account all places. You cannot turn them away because the academic system cannot keep up. This will cause problems."
"Let's do this. From this year onwards, each university will expand its enrollment quota by 20%, and this 20% will be specially given to students from the Xinfu area. After the academic reform in the Xinfu area catches up with the reform of the academic system, unified recruitment will be carried out. This is one of them, and the other is that in
Central Plains and Shanxi will build two more normal schools. Thirty percent of the places in the two new normal schools will only be for students from the province, and the other 70% will be recruited from across the country. The third is to encourage Central Plains and Shanxi to build one public-private undergraduate university and two junior colleges each.
For universities, public-private joint universities, the imperial court only determines the admission quota and approves the teaching subjects, and the specific admission regulations and methods are determined by the school."
"Ah? Your Majesty, how can this be done? Science and education are the foundation of the country's official selection. If private parties participate and set their own admission regulations, wouldn't it mess up the national outline? It's better to say that it is better to say junior college, but this kind of precedent must not be set for undergraduates."
Wu Sheng was shocked by Zhu Youjian's bold idea. Wasn't the trick he used to take care of the scholars in the Xinfu area a little too powerful?
"A university is a university. I didn't say that the selection of officials should be treated as one with the universities run by the imperial court. In universities run by public-private joint ventures, the teaching subjects must be reviewed and supervised by the Department of Education and Medicine. The qualifications are reviewed once a year. If the review fails,
, there will no longer be teaching qualifications and enrollment qualifications for this subject next year. The number of enrollment must also strictly adhere to the established quota, and the school has no right to make any changes. For students who have completed their studies and graduated, the undergraduate school will organize another graduation exam, tentatively
Only 40% of the students can enjoy the same treatment as those in public universities. The court recognizes the academic qualifications of the remaining graduates, but does not provide them with employment and leaves them to make a living on their own! For junior colleges, the court only provides 20% of the students with employment, leaving the rest to make a living on their own.
"
“But in this case, wouldn’t it mean that college students who are unable to join the civil service are studying in vain?”
"How can books be read in vain? As long as they complete their studies seriously, they can also play a role in the private sector. The imperial court needs scholars and talents, and private industries also need scholars and talents. Concentrating all talents in the imperial court is not a long-term solution, or is it?
We need to make some talents available to the people! In addition, this also provides a way for some people who cannot adapt to the new learning for the time being. As long as they study hard in college, they will be qualified to join the officialdom. It is a kind of transition.
And compensation. It is tentatively decided that the first batch of admission places for each of the new public-private joint undergraduate schools in Zhongyuan and Shanxi will be 500 students, and the admission quota for each junior college school will be 600 people. In the future, the number of admissions will be increased based on the operation situation and effects.
It’s not impossible to reduce the number of places, or even to suspend it.”
A university enrolls 500 undergraduates, which means there are 200 more official quotas. Wu Sheng thought about it and felt that the impact would not be big, so he stopped arguing with the emperor! The expansion of university enrollment can give Xinfu area one or two thousand
The quota, coupled with the locally run normal school, and the policy are enough to take care of the Central Plains and Shanxi. In addition, coupled with the small opening of the public-private partnership, in Wu Sheng's view, the emperor is simply not too good to the scholars in the Central Plains and Shanxi.
Don't underestimate the small number of places given by public-private universities. This small opening is huge. The decision-making power of admission lies with the university, and the room for manipulation is quite large. This is simply giving official quotas to local connections, okay?
In order to stabilize these newly restored places, the emperor showed great kindness. Wu Sheng felt that those guys in Shanxi and the Central Plains would be nothing if they didn't accept this kindness!
Did Zhu Youjian open this hole just to show favor to the powerful people in Xinfu? They don't have that much face, and they don't deserve this favor!
All this fuss is to play a big game! Opening up the gap between academics and talents will pave the way for college students to find employment through private employment channels. Under the current situation, public universities do not have the environment to open up the gap.
We can use this curved approach to save the country to achieve our goal. Over the next few years, we will slowly reduce the number of official positions in public-private joint universities, and then cancel the qualifications for 100% official positions in public universities. This will work for one or two years.
In ten years, we should be able to clear a path.
If we don’t make arrangements in advance now, when education is popularized to a certain extent, big troubles will occur! In later generations, several major turmoils occurred because of irreconcilable conflicts between the popularization of education and employment. Therefore, this issue is not arranged in advance.
Planning and planning will never work! Pave the path first, and when conflicts arise, you will just widen the gap a little wider, and the impact will be controllable!
