"In my opinion, our goal is to resurrect as many technologies that are useful to us in our lifetime and adapt them to the environment, rather than just restoring technology." Ma Qianxu said, "The difference in environment makes our technology better.
It will inevitably take a completely different path from another time and space..."
"The Governor's steampunk fun is coming again." Someone whispered below.
Steam-powered gear computers, high-speed double-decker steam trains, and floating battleships. These are the three "future technology" projects that the steampunk group headed by Ma Qianzhu is most passionate about.
At this time, Hu Qingbai, the head of the Education Committee, stood up and said: "Based on everyone's proposal, I discussed it with my colleagues from the Ministry of Education and thought that in terms of education, we can adhere to the principle of walking on two legs."
The so-called walking on two legs refers to both rapid popular education and formal education. The former is used to meet immediate needs, while the latter is used to reserve talents for future development.
This seemingly eclectic plan is comprehensive, but it is feasible and in line with the current material capabilities. It was finally accepted and confirmed by everyone: Chuan Chuan Group will establish a mixed education system: national education for children and national education for adults.
crash education.
The first is the national school, which is the basis of national education. It is for the orphans who have been adopted and the children of the indigenous people who directly serve the crossing group. It is compulsory for children who are over eight years old and under twelve years old.
All students must enter school. Those who are over the age limit can only participate in adult accelerated literacy studies and obtain the most basic C-type diploma.
The national school is a complete school, divided into two stages: primary school and middle school. It takes nine years to complete the entire education. But Hu Qingbai divided it into three stages: junior primary school, senior primary school and middle school. In addition, there are
A special nursery for preschool children has been established.
The two-year junior primary school curriculum is based on basic reading, writing, arithmetic, and civic education - including a simple general history of China, basic morals and social ethics, and simple natural science knowledge. Labor skills classes are set up to teach various useful work skills to
Improve hands-on ability and prepare for future work. Finally, set up a certain amount of physical education classes to enhance physical fitness, starting from children, to change the Chinese tradition of despising labor and neglecting hands-on practice.
After this stage of education is completed, a Type B diploma will be issued. Graduates can serve in the military, enter vocational schools or military and political schools, or directly join a department under the Cross-Training Group. The education department plans to
, the biggest task is to popularize the Junior B diploma, including in the army, factories, farms, etc.
Children who have the ability to continue studying can advance to high school, which lasts three years, and receive a Class A diploma after graduation.
Those with Type A diplomas can choose to continue their studies in middle schools, vocational and technical schools or military and political schools. Middle schools last for four years. According to the time traveler’s plan: those who can go to middle schools will be the key training targets. The curriculum is more focused.
With more theories and basic science, these children can finally master the advanced science, technology, concepts and culture brought by the time travellers. In other words, students who can complete nine years of national education and obtain a high school diploma will become
An out-and-out social elite, one of the future successors of the Time Travel Group.
Accelerated adult education is the focus at this stage. Hu Qingbai came up with a plan based on the requirements and opinions put forward by various parties: all indigenous soldiers and employees will undergo a one-month "purification" quarantine after recruitment.
During the quarantine period, a half-day of military training and labor and a half-day of cultural study are adopted. Military training is handled by the Army, and cultural education is conducted by personnel sent by the Ministry of Education. The educational content is Mandarin, five hundred basic Chinese characters, and basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It is conducted once at the end.
Test. Those who pass the test will be issued a C diploma.
Those who fail the test can be re-educated in the departments that accept them - the military or factories, and participate in cultural proficiency tests every six months. Re-education is arranged and organized by each department, and the education department provides assistance.
The C diploma is the most basic diploma for those under the time-traveling regime. Without it, it is almost impossible to move forward. People without the C diploma cannot be promoted to formal workers, first-class soldiers, cannot enter vocational and technical schools, and cannot serve as grassroots cadres. In other words
, without this diploma, he can only serve as the lowest-level worker in the crossing group. No door to promotion will be open for him.
Originally, according to Hu Qingbai's intention, those who failed the test would be kicked out, but with the current strong demand for labor and soldiers, this would be too wasteful.
Those who have obtained a C diploma can continue to participate in further adult training and improve their cultural level as long as they have the interest and time. However, it is not mandatory. However, when the indigenous people are promoted to a certain level, the diploma will become the entry threshold - a certain
For certain types of jobs, positions, military ranks, or training in certain advanced vocational skills, you must hold a certain level of diploma. This is to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for learning through people's ambition.
The education department will arrange a literacy test every six months, and anyone can take it.
Another part of adult education is vocational skills education. The current vocational education is relatively organized. The apprenticeship team is very large. Orphans taken in from the mainland and those who are judged not to adapt to cultural studies are classified as apprentices.
The corps. Many children of indigenous employees within the group also joined the corps.
Hu Qingbai plans to set up a vocational school based on this corps. This vocational school will follow the system and education model of the original apprentice corps. It will recruit all indigenous people who have obtained diplomas: whether they are A, B or C or middle school diplomas.
Of course, different types of work can be learned with different diplomas. Polishers and nurses only need a C diploma, teachers and doctors must have a B diploma or above, and doctors must have a high school diploma.
Vocational schools focus on jobs that have higher technical content and require longer training to be competent, including technicians, teachers, medical staff, etc., also for the future. Depending on the job type, the training time ranges from three months to three years.
etc. During this period, there are cultural studies and internships in various departments.
Finally, there is the Military and Political School. The original Military and Political School and the Rural Cadre Training Center were merged and reorganized into the Lingao Military and Political Cadre School. It mainly trains indigenous military and political cadres. The school is divided into three levels of classes: A, B and C. Class A recruits students with high school diplomas
; Class B recruits holders of Class A diplomas. Class C recruits holders of Class B diplomas - only current employees and military personnel, who are recommended by the organization for admission.
This education system that takes into account both short-term practical skills and long-term academic training makes all parties relatively satisfied. Although some people are slightly critical of the Cross-Train Group's return to the diploma-universal model.
With the education system in place, it is necessary to build teaching infrastructure. The place where Xiao Zishan is going is the site of the new school. Many long dormitories have been built here. This place is far away from the industrial area and has a better environment.
There are some mixed woods. The terrain is high and full of sand and gravel, which is not very conducive to farming. It is suitable for running a school. Now Lingao Construction Company is carrying out extensive construction on this land to build a brand new school.
Due to limited manpower and material resources, it is impossible to build three schools separately, so this land is called "Education Park" according to the fashionable name in another time and space. Various teaching and living facilities inside can be shared. This Education Park was named
It is called "Fangcaodi Education Park".
When Xiao Zishan came here, the teaching area of Fangcaodi was almost completed. Looking from a distance from the road: more than a dozen two-story red brick and wood buildings had been erected. These buildings seemed very familiar to Xiao Zishan -
―The elementary school and middle school he attended back then all had similar teaching buildings: a long box with an open corridor on one side. There were stairs for every two classrooms. At least four to eight could be accommodated in one building.
There are even 12 or 16 classrooms in the class.
Mei Wan, People's Commissar of Education Hu Qingbai, and clerk Bai Yu are waiting for him. Logically speaking, as the director of the general office, he is not responsible for education issues, and it is not his responsibility to inspect the school construction. However, Xiao Zishan, as the director of the general office, is responsible for solving the problem of time travel.
When it comes to the education of the next generation of the group, it is natural to take part in the construction of schools.
The appearance of the school is still very shabby. It lacks building materials so there are no walls. It is in line with the idea of "open schooling". However, it is quite dangerous to have no walls in this time and space. Mei Wan's plan instead is to use dense bamboo fences. There are a lot of bamboos here.
, processing is also easy.
"... When the time comes, we will plant some climbing rose plants along the bamboo fence. In a few years, neither people nor animals can get close to it, and it will become a real natural 'barbed wire'!" Mei Wan introduced.
.
The gate is very majestic. It is made of large stones specially picked from the Bairen Quarry. It is a European-style building with three openings. According to Mei Wan, it was copied from the gate of Tsinghua University. It is just that there are nondescript additions on both sides of the gate.
A turret-style building has been set up. Four signs have been hung at the door: "Lingao National School", "Lingao Military and Political School", and "Nanhai Vocational and Technical School".
The last sign is "People's Committee for Education".
Xiao Zishan asked: "What's going on?"
"Oh, Wu Nanhai promised to allocate some extra food to the students from the farm's surplus agricultural products. So it's a return of kindness." Hu Qingbai said quickly, "Mr. Wen has already agreed."
Hearing that Mr. Wen had agreed, Xiao Zishan didn't say anything. When he saw the Board of Education's sign hanging here, he said, "The environment here is quite good, and it's a good place to work."
