Chapter 423 Education Syllabus

"Universal education? Free?" Just after Zhang Hao finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

It was nothing more than setting up a Beidou Academy before, although it was free, but there were only 500 people; but in everyone's opinion, Beidou Academy is more like an alternative sect. Moreover, Beidou Academy is provided by Dayang Group, so everyone has no opinion.

But this popularization of education is different, it needs to go to Ninghe County's finances. Ninghe County, not Dayang Group—although the ultimate leader is Zhang Hao.

Dayang Group is a business group. And Ninghe County is a political body. This is completely different.

In particular, it is necessary to 'popularize', and all children over the age of eight must receive education, which makes all officials stunned.

Zhang Hao looked at everyone and said slowly: "Who is willing to accept this task?"

Everyone looked at each other. Suddenly someone stood up: "I am willing!"

Zhang Hao looked at each other, but didn't know each other——Zhang Hao used to devote all his energy to the Dayang Group and the Zhang family, and Zhang Shengde was trying to retreat and practice as soon as possible, striving to reach the peak of Nascent Soul, and even the stage of transformation. So Ninghe County was handed over to the second uncle Zhang Shengye to take care of it.

Moreover, all the people from Ninghe County who belonged to Liu Jingming and others had already withdrawn. Most of the recent officials were appointed by Zhang Shengye.

This person obviously also had a wink. Seeing the confusion in Zhang Hao's eyes, he immediately said, "My name is Qu Haichao. I am from Ninghe County and Lanshan Town. I am 63 years old at the peak of Jindan."

Zhang Hao looked at the other party, then turned his head to look at his second uncle Zhang Shengye who was next to him. Zhang Shengye nodded.

Zhang Hao immediately nodded to Qu Haichao: "That's good. Qu Haichao, I will now promote you to be the director of the Education Department of Ninghe County, and be directly responsible to my second uncle.

Next, let's discuss the detailed issues and brainstorm together. "

Zhang Hao designated the education part of Ninghe County as the 'Department of Education' rather than the 'Ministry of Education'. After all, for the time being, Ninghe County is just a county and a fief in Qixia Kingdom.

Qu Haichao was a little excited because he was going to be in charge of a department alone. Unlike others, Qu Haichao keenly discovered that this was an opportunity.

Zhang Hao continued: "Everyone, I think everyone has read the 16 characters on the gate of Beidou Academy. It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people, and education is the foundation of a century-old plan!"

If we want to develop, we need talents.

As the Duke of Ninghe County, I have to be responsible for the people under my rule; as the parents of Ninghe County, you also have the responsibility to plan a future for the people of Ninghe County.

Free education will be the key work of Ninghe County in the future, and this work requires everyone to work together. In at most ten years, the common people will appreciate your contributions and efforts. "

"At the beginning of universal education, there will inevitably be a lot of troubles. I need everyone to carry it out firmly and be prepared to face difficulties.

Nowadays, many rural families regard children as a labor force. Children as young as five or six years old start working, and children as young as seven or eight years old are half as adults.

This is not allowed. Children must be educated. Only in this way, their future will not continue to face the loess and their backs to the sky, and they will be able to stand upright and be a man.

And now, this task is entrusted to you. "

Everyone's faces suddenly became serious, and a sense of mission came.

Zhang Hao asked again: "How many towns are there in Ninghe County now?"

Zhang Shengye said: "We have re-divided the administrative districts. Now there are 110 towns in total, divided into five districts, east, west, south, north, and central. Each district has about 30 villages."

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said: "It's winter now, and next summer, after the selection of Beidou Academy, popularization of education will begin. Everyone has half a year to prepare.

My plan is to set up a primary school in every five to six villages, and students go to the nearest school. All school-age children must be sent to school for education. If any parents disagree, they will be taxed heavily!

Regardless of whether they are ordinary people or rich and powerful children, as long as school-age children do not go to school, they will be fined 10 Lingshi per person per year. until the child is 15 years old.

The first school will start next year, and children aged 8 to 10 will be charged. In the future, students will be recruited every summer, only those who are 7 to 8 years old will be charged.

In the remaining half a year, recruit people from all over the county who are above the sixth floor of the Qi refining stage, have good conduct, are eager to learn, and have no bad deeds. Those who are over 20 years old and do not look old are good. Oh, and the most important thing is to be patient and eager to learn.

Those who have a skill, especially cultivation, weapon refining, array, alchemy, etc., are given priority. But all must be of good conduct.

These people will receive half a year of training from Dayang Group. After half a year, he will start to enter the local coaching.

Each school must have at least five teachers, and the basic salary of teachers is 5,000 yuan per month, which is 50 Lingshi. Students take an exam every six months, and the teacher's bonus is determined according to the exam situation and the student's performance. Bonuses are paid out every six months.

In addition, the school will be equipped with a school bus, and all students can choose accommodation, or a special car pick-up.

Students start class at 7 o'clock in the morning and end at 17 o'clock in the afternoon. Those who stay overnight can organize evening self-study and so on.

The annual allocation for each school... is tentatively set at 5 million yuan to train students, including basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation. Teacher salaries, vehicles, etc. are not included. "

Zhang Hao talked a lot, and finally looked at Qu Haichao: "Qu Haichao, can you do this well?"

Qu Haichao's forehead was already sweating a little. He really didn't expect Zhang Hao to do such a big thing: even if calculated according to the six schools in each town, the entire Ninghe County would need 660 schools, and at least 3,300 teachers—— In fact, it is calculated according to 3500.

Every year, teachers' salaries and schools' investment will be an astronomical figure. Now that Ninghe County's tax revenue is all invested, it may not be enough.

You know, this is an elementary school in the world of practice. In addition to imparting knowledge, you also need to... practice! Cultivation requires a huge amount of resources!

But since Zhang Hao has decided on this matter, he can only carry it out.

But Qu Haichao still asked: "What about those who are over 10 years old?"

"Go learn to work." Zhang Hao sighed, "Now whether it is Dayang Group or various commercial firms, they are recruiting apprentices. These people go to learn some crafts... Wait...

These people can set up a technical school, train them to learn a craft, and let them quickly become skilled workers is not bad! "

Zhang Hao spent a whole day discussing with everyone in the City Lord's Mansion. In the early morning of the next day, "Ocean Daily" added a full four pages, which were dedicated to publishing information on "universal education", including the recruitment of teachers.

When the news spread, there was an uproar for a while.

The newspaper clearly stated the planning blueprint of "5 years of compulsory education, 4 years of secondary education, and 3 years of higher education in Ninghe County". Especially the 5-year compulsory education, all school-age children must go to school, and parents will be punished if they don't go to school. The five-year compulsory education is completely free, and the Ninghe County officials will bear all the expenses.

As for secondary education and higher education, it is still under discussion. But even five years of compulsory education has already caused an uproar.
