Chapter 921 Battlefield
College entrance examination, this is a battlefield.
Thousands of troops, bloody rain and wind!
Who can return triumphantly with bloodstained uniforms, and who will be defeated and turned into a cup of loess, everything is unknown.
College entrance examination, for most people, may not be the most important exam in life, but it is definitely the most meaningful exam.
It may not be absolutely fair, but it gives many poor students the opportunity to fight for fairness.
In recent years, with the continuous expansion of enrollment, more and more people have the opportunity to go to high school, and more and more people go to college.
This year, the number of people taking the college entrance examination is about 3.8 million, and 2.2 million people will be admitted to universities, that is, 2.2 million people will be admitted to junior colleges and undergraduate colleges.
Compared with the past, more and more people are now in high school, and more and more people can go to college.
It has been 18 years since the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977.
In 18 years, generation after generation has left their footprints in the college entrance examination.
College entrance examination, as a unique feature of China, has changed over the past decade, but the essence of the college entrance examination has never changed.
Select outstanding talents for colleges and universities, and provide fresh blood for the country!
Survival of the fittest is the essence of society.
Although there is no life-and-death cruelty like the law of the jungle, the college entrance examination can indeed change the fate of many people.
Southwest Associated University also made a major decision this year. The number of Chinese college entrance examination admissions will be increased to 3,600. In addition to overseas Chinese and independent enrollment, the number of freshmen in this year's Southwest Associated University will reach 4,200.
For Chinese students, it is naturally free. For overseas Chinese and other students, the tuition is much higher. The tuition, accommodation and canteen fees are 80,000 yuan a year.
Although overseas Chinese and other students are very dissatisfied with this policy every year, the school's answer is always the same, that is, Southwest Associated University is a Chinese university, built with the money of the Chinese people, and Chinese students are free because of the money of Chinese taxpayers, and overseas students have not paid taxes for China, so they should pay.
If the tuition is high, you can work hard to get a full scholarship.
It is also the overseas students who make the students of Huaxia realize that every study they make is not only the result of their own efforts, but also the result of the country spending a lot of money. As long as they enter Southwest Associated University, it means that they have helped their families earn at least 320,000 RMB.
320,000 RMB is still a very amazing amount of money for Huaxia now, and most families cannot afford it.
Education has always been expensive. Just look at the tuition fees of famous European and American universities. It is about 50,000 US dollars a year, and even 100,000 US dollars if it is expensive. Many people have to bear heavy loans after graduating from college, and they have to pay them back for a lifetime.
Only Huaxia has a large amount of financial allocations and the salaries of teachers are relatively low, which makes the education expenses borne by individuals seem relatively low.
Zhu Lin is also busy because Liu Qingan and Liu Manhua will take the high school entrance examination this year.
Although as sports students, the two can go to middle school without taking the high school entrance examination, but Liu Tao's requirements for his children have always been that they can have hobbies, but they cannot give up studying.
So his children have loved learning since childhood, and their academic performance has never fallen behind.
When their children take exams, parents get nervous.
After Zhu Lin arrived at the Panshan Group headquarters, she also worked in the Women's Federation of the Panshan Group headquarters, which was a relatively easy job.
Because of the special days during this period, the Women's Federation was on holiday for four days, so that everyone could accompany their children in the most important exam in their lives with peace of mind.
Even though Zhu Lin had planned her children's education long ago, she was still very nervous at the moment.
She had already cooked the stew at home.
Now she was just waiting for the children to leave the examination room so that they could eat delicious meals as soon as possible.
Liu Tao accompanied the leaders of the Ministry of Education and relevant departments to eat together.
They did not eat in hotels or restaurants outside, but in the cafeteria of the Panshan Group headquarters.
This is also the style and principle that Liu Tao has adhered to for more than ten years.
Cadres cannot be separated from the masses.
If they are separated from the masses and do not eat worldly things, what can they talk about serving the people.
Therefore, in Panshan Group, when relevant departments come to inspect, they are arranged to eat in the cafeteria, and there will be no special treatment, let alone special meals.
The only time for special meals every year is probably during the party group meeting.
If we usually have a small class, the disciplinary inspection team will not be a pushover.
‘Comrade Liu Tao, do you think this model can be popularized across the country in the future? ’ The leader of the Ministry of Education asked: “Cameras are not cheap. With so many classrooms across the country, the cost may be tens of billions or even hundreds of billions!”
To be honest, it is not so easy to popularize so many primary schools, middle schools, and universities across the country.
Liu Tao smiled and said: “Leader, the benefits of this model are self-evident. As for the issue of money, it has never been a problem. Fiscal revenue is increasing every year, and the increase in education funding is very large, far exceeding military spending.”
Liu Tao is not worried because he has done this in his previous life.
Education funding is rising every year, and it is not just the amount of funding that is rising, but also the proportion.
He remembered that after more than 20 years, China’s fiscal education expenditure exceeded 4 trillion yuan, while the military expenditure at that time was less than 1.2 trillion yuan.
Now it seems that the investment in this part is huge, but in fact, if it is spread out and built over more than ten years, the cost will not be so terrible.
"Our funding seems to be high, but in fact it is far from enough. We need more education funding, train more teachers, build more schools, so that more children can afford to go to school and read books, and improve the average educational level of our country." The leader of the Ministry of Education said quickly: "Didn't the leader say that the 21st century is the century of talents, and the competition in the 21st century is ultimately a competition for talents."
In terms of the importance attached to education, China is definitely the country that attaches the most importance to education in the world.
No matter how hard it is, we cannot let children suffer, and no matter how poor we are, we cannot let education be poor!
This slogan has long been resounding throughout China, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The political achievements of a place, the political achievements in education are important evaluation indicators.
Although there are a lot of education funds now, much more than 18 years ago, and several times the military expenditure, the education funds are still not enough.
China's education is based on Europe and the United States, and in terms of academic qualifications, it is benchmarked against Europe and the United States, and it must do better than Europe and the United States.
And all these require a lot of capital investment.
In this era, there is no problem of difficulty in education. As long as you graduate from university, university graduates can still find jobs easily, and the salary level of fresh graduates will not be low.
Even if more than a decade later, there are more and more college students, and even the number of college graduates reaches tens of millions a year, and unemployment after graduation has become a phenomenon of social concern, it can only be said to be a happy trouble.
After experiencing the pain of lack of talent, for the happy troubles that follow, there is more happiness, and then troubles.
