Chapter 644 Is going to a private school a serious university?
The focus of the imperial court's work this year is definitely on Sichuan, Shaanxi and northwest China, but restoration work is also underway in the Central Plains and Shanxi.
In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the public-private Zhongyuan Technology and Business University was officially launched in Zhengzhou city.
Since they are in the Xinfu area, the university recruitment work in Zhongyuan and Shanxi started relatively early this year. The exams were already completed in March. All those admitted to public universities and the newly established normal schools in the province were listed and received admission notices.
.
What to do if you are not admitted? Going to a public-private joint industrial and business university is the way out. Before the official listing, the university's preparatory team started the enrollment promotion and distributed enrollment flyers to students who had applied for the university. If you are interested
If so, you can go to Zhengzhou to take the admissions exam for Technology and Business University at the end of May.
In a house in Xingyang City, several young students were gathering together, chatting about life and their future. Yes, they were all failed students.
This year, there are only more than 1,000 places for admission to various universities in the entire Central Plains province. Except for military academies and provincial normal schools, the number of places is less than 500. No matter what the Central Plains is, it is also a province with a large population, so for this recruitment, the test is
It is not easy to go to a provincial normal school. It is completely expected that a large number of people fail.
A young man looked at his companion in disbelief and said, "Brother Wang, are you not planning to take the exam again next year? The court stipulates that we can take the exam for two years, how can we give up the opportunity?"
The young man surnamed Wang was very indifferent and said calmly: "In this recruitment test, my score in the four subjects combined is less than 100 points. I have little hope of taking the test again next year. It's better to just give up."
"But if we take another year, we may not be able to make a difference. This time everyone failed in the scientific examination, mainly because they were not familiar with the content of the examination, rather than because they lacked knowledge. Many famous talents have similar results to us."
"I don't know if it will be worse next year! I heard rumors that next year's scientific examination questions will be more biased than this year's. By the year after next, they will even be almost the same as those in Shandong and Beizhi. Anyway, I feel there is no hope.
Just give up. If you want to try, you can take it again next year." The young man named Wang still answered his companion's questions with an indifferent attitude.
"However, if you go to a private school, don't worry about whether you will be discriminated against by the government because of your status. I'm afraid that it will be in vain if you go to a private school. The government only recruits 40 people as officials, so we may not be able to get a quota when the time comes."
"Can we wait until then? At least we have to ensure that we can go to school, right? Look at the imperial universities, which are so difficult. If you fail to pass the exam next year, not only will you lose a year, but your future may be ruined. This year also
Even if private schools are newly opened, our chances will be greater. If the situation changes next year, even the threshold of private schools may not be enough. The number of places given by the imperial court to private schools is also limited."
"I just don't feel at ease. Is going to a private school serious enough to go to university?"
"Why not? Graduation certificates are issued by the Department of Education and Medicine, just like public schools. The imperial court clearly stated that academic qualifications will be recognized."
Several young people were arguing with each other about whether to go to the Zhongyuan University of Technology and Business. Some, like the young man named Wang, were determined to go, while others were full of doubts and felt that the future there was unclear.
The risk is too great.
The argument lasted until midnight before the party ended. They walked out of the Wang family's house in twos and threes and went home.
On the way, two young men traveling together continued to chat:
"Brother Lu, do you think it's okay to go to a private school?"
"Hmph! It depends on the person. Wang Shikun can go there, but we may not!"
"Ah? Why can Wang Shikun go there, but we can't?"
"Isn't this obvious? The reason why Wang Shikun is so active in recruiting me to attend a private school is that he also made it clear that his uncle teaches in a private school. As long as we spend some money, we can define the scope of the recruitment.
For us to prepare for the exam. Think about it, since people can manipulate the recruitment, is it possible that they will manipulate the public examination in the future? At that time, the small amount of money spent now cannot stop it. So people can
On the other hand, it’s not possible for people like me who have no way out and no financial resources.”
The people who participated in the founding of private schools in Zhongyuan were self-taught when it came to setting the scope of examinations. They had already figured it out right from the beginning. There was no way, this kind of operation had a long history in Ming Dynasty. Ruan Dacheng and Qian Qianyi back then
Others supported their families in Hukou through similar means, and the gentry of the Central Plains naturally also learned the essence.
The young man who was traveling with him was dumbfounded and enlightened by what the young man surnamed Lu said in plain language. Then, with a livid face, he said: "Isn't this taking advantage of the good government of the imperial court for personal gain? Shouldn't the imperial court and your majesty just ignore such an unfair act?"
"Brother Chen, how can people in Beijing have so much time to worry about these things? Even if they do worry, they will make up for it after the fact. How can they know so quickly that someone is using the good governance of private schools to make a fuss? People in Beijing
What I’m worried about is admissions to serious universities, and the quality of our private schools in Zhongyuan has nothing to do with the overall situation.”
"What should I do? People like you and me will have no chance of success?"
"You can't say that. Can't we still take the public school entrance examination next year? For people from poor families like you and me, the only way is to take the right path."
"Alas! Wang Shikun is right when he says that public recruitment will be even more difficult next year. It will be difficult for people with the same grades as you and me to turn around!"
"Brother Chen, there is actually no need to be discouraged. It all depends on human nature. Even if we still fail next year, we still have a way to go."
"What path? Will you go to a private school next year?"
"No! If I fail the science test again next year, I will take the college entrance examination run by the uterine delivery system. If I fail the college entrance examination, I will take the technical secondary school entrance examination."
"Junior college? Isn't that the only way to become an official?"
"If you die, then die! If you can't get into the officialdom, you have to live, right? I have a neighbor who fled to the capital at that time, just in time to catch up with the uterine delivery system recruitment, and went to a technical secondary school in the industrial and commercial management department, and now he is in Zhengzhou
He works at the Royal Bank of Zhengzhou City, and he is still a little boss. The money he earns in a month is no less than that of an official. He is said to have six taels of silver dollars. A neighbor has seen him in Zhengzhou City, and said he is a casual official.
He was always polite to me. Besides, if you work in the palace industry, you may not have the opportunity to become an official. Every year, the Ministry of Personnel will select some people from the palace administration to serve in the government."
"Really? We need to think carefully about this matter and inquire about it. Maybe it is really a way."
"Anyway, my decision is made! If it doesn't work out, I'll go to a junior college. Wang Shikun seems to have a way out, but I don't know for sure what he will say in the future. Although the Holy Emperor and the imperial court may make mistakes for a while, they will not always make mistakes. Back then,
The thieves and traitorous officials took advantage of the emperor's young age and caused trouble when he first took charge of political affairs, causing harm to the Ming Dynasty. Now you see, each and every one of them has been dealt with. I believe that those who take advantage of the loopholes today will definitely be settled in the future. No matter whether they enter the officialdom or go there
The saint has given us the right path for palace birth, so we act openly and honestly, we will not be buried, and we can always serve the saint and the court."
