Volume 16 Hengdao Immediately Section 60 Development, Education First
Neither Cao Zhenhai nor Chen Qingfu thought that Lu Weimin's interest would suddenly turn to education. In their view, Songzhou currently has many problems that need to be solved and there are many tasks that need to be focused on. Education is important, but it is urgent that it is urgent.
It is not an issue of education. The most urgent issue is to pick up the economic work and put Songzhou's economic development back on the normal track. Lu Weimin was a master of economics back then. Why does it seem like he has changed when he returns to Songzhou this time?
Ordinary people, but they become indifferent to economic work?
Of course, Lu Weimin also mentioned a word when talking about education, that is, education industry, which also made Cao Zhenhai and Chen Qingfu realize something.
Dingxin International School, opened by Dingxin International Education Group in Songzhou, has begun to take shape after five years of development. Dingxin International started with kindergartens and primary schools, and has also extended to junior high schools. It is said that starting from next year, Dingxin International School will
High school officially opened.
A considerable number of outstanding teachers have been recruited from inside and outside the province, including special-grade teachers from Changzhou, Songzhou, Yishan, Huanggang and Huangshi in Hubei Province, and Luzhou in Anhui Province. Of course, some of them have retired and been re-employed.
A considerable number of them were poached through high-paying jobs, which caused a panic in various places at the time.
In particular, the middle schools in the counties under the jurisdiction of Songzhou have become key poaching targets. Later, the Songzhou Municipal Government had to coordinate with Dingxin International and required Dingxin International not to poach students within Songzhou City. This made Dingxin International
He extended his hands and feet to other provinces and cities.
The success of Dingxin International also shows Songzhou’s strong influence in educational resources. At the same time, Qiushi Middle School also began to intend to learn from Dingxin International. However, the development direction of Qiushi Middle School is somewhat different from Dingxin International’s approach. Dingxin
International School is newly built based on the resources of Changda and Changda High School. Qiushi Middle School relies on its own existing resources and hopes to build a new campus in Nancheng New District and strive to create a fully enclosed new campus. In fact, it is a disguised expansion of enrollment scope.
, the enrollment scope is open to the whole province and even the country, mainly recruiting students who live in schools, mainly to solve the education and training problems of their children for those families who are busy with work.
Regarding this point, Chang Lan and her classmate Mo Yuancao, now the vice principal of Qiushi Middle School, also came to see Lu Weimin a few days ago. They reported their thoughts on this aspect and received support from Lu Weimin. So it is precisely based on this that Lu Weimin
Only then did I feel that Songzhou had great potential in developing the education industry.
In the previous life, there were four famous private education kings in the province: Dingxin International, Qiushi Education, Apple International Education, and Shude Education. Now one has gained a reputation, and another one has begun to take shape, but Apple International is still missing.
Although Shude Education has not spoken out yet, it is estimated that it will not lag far behind. If the Songzhou Municipal Government can give it a push at this time, it will undoubtedly enhance Songzhou's reputation as an educational highland in the province.
"Secretary Lu, Qiushi Middle School and the Municipal Education Bureau came to me some time ago to report that they intend to provide bilingual education in the new campus they are building, mainly for high-quality students in the province. In addition, the junior high school of Songzhou No. 1 Middle School,
That is Shude Middle School. They also have this idea. They are all influenced by Dingxin International and are preparing to make a difference in primary and secondary education..." Chen Qingfu asked tentatively.
"This is a good thing." Lu Weimin expressed his position very simply, "Dingxin International's teaching staff is based on Changda and Changda Affiliated High School, but in the later period, the main teaching staff came from the whole province and even the country. This actually strengthened us in disguise.
Songzhou’s educational resources, and the arrival of students from all over the country have further enhanced the reputation of our Songzhou education. The strength of Qiushi Middle School is no less than that of Changda Affiliated Middle School. Of course, we can provide this kind of segmented and personalized education. Songzhou No. 1 Middle School
, the same is true for the three middle schools. As long as it can attract students from other places to come to Songzhou without affecting the quality of basic education in Songzhou, I think it is beneficial and harmless. Similarly, for some private schools with funds, resources and strength
, as long as they can do this, the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government should also support it, and the expansion of the reputation of our Songzhou education will also help our Songzhou educational institutions attract more outstanding college graduates to find employment and start businesses here.
It is also more conducive for these institutions to recruit teachers with rich experience and abilities from other places, which is a virtuous circle of mutual promotion."
Hearing Lu Weimin's clear statement, Cao Zhenhai and Chen Qingfu were both a little surprised.
Regarding public and private education, both the central and provincial governments have relatively vague policies. Some guiding documents seem to be supportive, but sometimes the attitude seems to restrict development. In short, in different places
, there are some subtle differences in policy orientation at different times, and various cities and towns are also at a loss as to how to understand and deal with it.
Therefore, the best way for local governments is to remain silent or ambiguous, and let you do it without taking a position. This will give you more flexibility when the higher authorities actually speak out, but this will easily make these schools
And private educational institutions have become intimidated and dare not make bold investments.
Lu Weimin's attitude today seems to have broken this tacit understanding and clearly stated his attitude. Whether it is private, public or private, or a cooperative school, the Songzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will spare no effort to support it, and will also wave the flag for it with great fanfare. This attitude
This is a huge change, and it will surely greatly stimulate and promote the development of private schools in Songzhou in the future.
"Secretary Lu, do you also want to completely liberalize private education?" Cao Zhenhai pondered for a moment before asking. Compared to Chen Qingfu, who is directly in charge of this work, it is more appropriate for him as the Minister of Propaganda to ask this question.
"Well, Lao Cao, this is what I think about it. For now, our economy in Songzhou has a certain foundation, but as far as the entire city is concerned, compared with the provincial capital Changzhou, compared with Wuhan in the upstream and Nanjing in the downstream
, there is still a considerable gap. In fact, in terms of higher education, although we also have Changbei Medical College, Changjiang Light Industry College, Changjiang Police College and other schools, compared with the cities just mentioned, we still have
It's far behind, and I'm afraid this gap cannot be made up in a short time or even a long time. So how can we make up for our shortcomings in education?" Lu Weimin looked very calm, "My opinion
Or, according to the actual situation of our Songzhou, in order to create educational advantages that belong to our Songzhou characteristics, one is basic education, that is, basic education in primary school, junior high school and high school. We must maximize the advantages of our Songzhou in this aspect.
It completely overwhelms other surrounding cities and uses this to decorate our Songzhou city’s business card.”
Both Cao Zhenhai and Chen Qingfu can probably understand Lu Weimin's point of view. Education should be regarded as a city card of Songzhou. Even if it cannot compare with Changzhou in terms of higher education, it should strive to surpass Changzhou in basic education.
Although this idea is very futuristic, Songzhou's basic education has always had advantages, so it is not without opportunities.
But Lu Weimin only said one point, which means there is a second point.
"In addition to basic education, we in Songzhou also have a shortcoming to make up for, and that is vocational education." There was an unquestionable determination in Lu Weimin's tone, "We in Songzhou have no advantage in higher education, and it can be said that we basically have no advantage.
It may catch up with provincial capital cities such as Wuhan, Nanjing and Changzhou, but the economic development of a city, especially the development of secondary and tertiary industries, has a huge demand for vocational education. At the same time, if vocational education is highly valued in a city
If so, it will also play an unexpected role in promoting the city's secondary and tertiary industries, especially in the industry. If the number of professional technicians and workers with certain academic qualifications can be satisfied, it will be beneficial to a certain area in a place.
The development of these industries is extremely beneficial."
As an old industrial city, Songzhou actually has some vocational and technical schools, but these vocational and technical schools are more enterprise-led, and there are not many vocational and technical schools that truly belong to the government. There are only two vocational and technical schools in the urban area.
The school is not large in scale and is obviously unable to meet the growing economic needs.
Although there are not many vocational and technical schools directly under the government, there are many vocational and technical schools in these enterprises in Songzhou, such as Jiefang Machinery Factory Vocational and Technical School, Dongfanghong Machinery Factory Vocational and Technical School, and the original No. 1 Textile Factory, No. 2 Vocational and Technical School
The staff schools of the textile mills all belong to the category of vocational and technical colleges, and have now been merged into Xinlushan Vocational and Technical School.
At this time, Cao Zhenhai and Chen Qingfu realized that Lu Weimin's invitation to them to discuss education issues was not a whim, but a mature idea that had already been considered. Basic education and vocational education, basic education should be in line with meeting the basic needs of urban education.
The path of personalized, subdivided and professionalized, efforts should be made to support and cultivate a number of highlight projects that can make Songzhou’s education business card, and education should be a major advantage of Songzhou’s development; while vocational education must be further specialized and
The standardized path allows Songzhou vocational education to be integrated with Songzhou’s local economic development, making vocational education a catalyst for the economic development of Songzhou’s secondary and tertiary industries.
Lu Weimin proposed this idea, which made both Cao Zhenhai and Chen Qingfu feel the pressure. Lu Weimin has been basically silent for more than a month since he came to Songzhou. This is completely different from his previous behavior in Songzhou. Everyone is here
I was waiting for him to speak out, but I didn't expect that Lu Weimin's first voice was directed at education.
It is said that it will be doubled tomorrow. Brothers, if you have some, please give me some double tickets. (To be continued)
