Chapter 1935, the new academic system
"Will there be any adjustments to the scoring system?"

After listening to Ren Siheng's words, Xia Yan, the principal of Imperial College of Technology, asked.

"There will be no adjustments to the total score system, and no adjustments will be made to the proportion of the scores of each subject, but the scores of each test knowledge point in each subject need to be adjusted to a certain extent, and the proportion of new learning test content must not exceed 10%. "

Ren Siheng thought for a while and said.

"This is fine~"

"There is a lot of new knowledge and content emerging now, some of which must be learned during middle school, but most of the content is still learned in universities."

Xia Yan nodded in agreement.

"I agree with that too."

Cai Yuliang, the president of Imperial University, also followed suit.

After nearly 20 years of development, Xinxue has gradually explored a mature and systematic education model, from elementary school to middle school to university, from basic subject content to step-by-step deepening, from Chinese studies, Divisions for mathematics, history, and more.

The entire teaching system has been gradually improved and developed systematically. In the past 20 years, it has also cultivated a large number of new learning talents.

Focusing on the concept of putting practicality first and applying what you have learned, the knowledge and content taught and learned are closely related to production and life, which greatly promoted the development of science and technology, technology and industry in Daming, and the progress of production and life in Daming.

"Does Liu Gong have any new instructions on the enrollment of major colleges and universities this year?"

Xia Yan thought for a while and then asked about this year's college enrollment.

"No, it's still the same as in previous years. 80% of the students in major colleges and universities are recruited according to the unified college entrance examination scores and students' wishes."

"The other 20% of the students can be admitted according to the school's key development majors through self-enrollment examinations."

Ren Siheng shook his head and said.

This is also very different from later generations, who basically obtain places to enter colleges and universities through the college entrance examination.

Only a small number of top colleges and universities can obtain the right to enroll students independently, but they are often criticized and complained about. For example, the famous Wudaokou Institute of Technology in later generations has the largest number of students enrolled, accounting for the largest proportion, and among them, they pass the college entrance examination. The proportion of students is only about half, and the rest are admitted through various channels that ordinary students cannot participate in.

Spending the country's money to train a large number of foreigners, and recruiting students through various channels has greatly squeezed the resources of ordinary students. Naturally, it is reasonable to make people complain.

The point is that the various self-enrollment programs are not aimed at cultivating talents at all. If they are aimed at cultivating professional talents, there is nothing to say. In many cases, they are reduced to an easy channel for the children of the rich to go to college.

For example, someone was obviously born and bred, but his parents changed his nationality to a foreign nationality when he was in middle school. As a result, he took the entrance examination easily and directly killed countless ordinary students. Are you angry?

For this aspect, Liu Jin also conducted in-depth thinking in many aspects, and finally decided to retain some of the independent enrollment quotas, mainly for the purpose of cultivating professional talents.

There is a huge difference between people. Some people are good at learning mathematics, and some people are good at learning liberal arts subjects. If you simply use the total score to enroll, you will miss a lot of geniuses.

Just like in later generations, there are many students who have very good grades in science, but they have poor grades in Chinese and English. As a result, because of partial subjects, they often fail to get ideal scores and go to unsatisfactory universities. As a result, they miss their own. Talent may also cause the country to lose a genius scientist, engineer or the like.

Especially English, because this is not their mother tongue, many students do very poorly in learning English, but it accounts for a large proportion, almost determining a person's fate and future, but it has no effect.

Future generations do not know how many students regret their whole lives because of poor English.

Liu Jin thought about this question over and over again.

There are specializations in the art industry, and people have things and fields that they are good at and not good at. You can't beat everyone to death with a stick. Some places should be set aside for these talented students.

Some students just don't like to memorize things by rote. Their logical thinking ability is very good. They like mathematics and physics.

Then you can apply for relevant colleges and universities, and obtain qualifications for further studies through the self-enrollment plans of these colleges and universities.

Another example is that you like geography, find it very interesting and very interesting, and want to develop in this area, but you are not good at other subjects, then you can take the relevant college exams and study geography knowledge and content in the future .

This is a system that Liu Jin formulated after reflecting on the examination system of later generations, leaving about 20% of the places for these colleges and universities, allowing them to pass independent enrollment, and also allowing the examination to apply for the independent enrollment plan of these universities to obtain the opportunity to enter the university for further study .

Although Liu Jin also knows that as long as the students are self-enrolled, there will be people who will go through the back door at that time, and some people will definitely find ways to enter these colleges and universities through this channel.

Just like the later generations, not only in our country, but also outside the country, as long as you spend money, they can find a way to get you into the top universities outside the country.

But Liu Jin still felt that it was necessary to do this, just to be able to dig out some geniuses under such a plan, such as math geniuses, physics geniuses, and so on.

"This year, the number of people graduating from our entire Daming Middle School has exceeded 120 million. There are now more than 20 colleges and universities across the country, with a total enrollment of more than 10 people. It is another year when thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge. what."

Cai Yuliang couldn't help sighing when he thought of this year's college entrance examination.

The number of new students is increasing year by year, but the number of new colleges and universities is growing extremely slowly.

The cost of running a university is really too high, even if Liu Jin is the God of Wealth, he can't stand such a toss.

Up to now, more than 20 colleges and universities have been established, mainly including Imperial College of Technology, Imperial University, Jingcheng Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Jingcheng Construction Factory College, Daming Medical College, Daming Art College, Tianjin Maritime College, Tianjin Normal College, etc. colleges and universities.

Just to support the operation, development, and teaching of these more than 20 colleges and universities, Liu Jin spends tens of millions of taels of silver every year. In addition, he is also responsible for the funds for new schools and the opening of more primary and secondary schools. The amount of money that needs to be spent is simply too great.

Xia Yan, Ren Siheng, and Cai Yuliang have repeatedly mentioned this matter with Liu Jin, thinking that the funds should actually be borne by the treasury of the Ming Dynasty.

Or charge a certain teaching fee for the education of new students to reduce Liu Jin's burden and pressure.

You must know that this is a must every year, which is equivalent to a fixed expenditure. You Liu Jin is now the chief assistant of the cabinet, and you have a huge industry under your command, and you can still support it.

If on that day, Liu Jin is no longer the chief assistant of the cabinet, and the huge industry under his command has problems, what should this new student do when the time comes?
Tens of millions of new students will stop studying in the future?

It is very unsafe to rely on only one source and channel of funds, unless it is supported by the state, which is the long-term solution.

But Liu Jin thought for a while and agreed with the three of them.

Rely on the imperial treasury?
This is obviously impossible, let alone new learning, traditional private schools and academies are private in nature, run by private or local people, and you need to pay a lot of money to study in private schools and academies.

As for the Ming court, it has always been in charge of the imperial examinations. As for the matter of studying, the court does not care. Whether the academy can continue to operate depends entirely on you.

You said that the imperial court is now responsible for the funding of the new school?
is it possible?

It is simply impossible. Although the imperial court has sufficient tax revenue and full treasury, it will never say that it will pay for the new learning.

In everyone's long-standing concept, reading is something that only a few people can do, which means that everyone will not be able to receive education, and it is even more impossible for the ministers in the court to support the allocation of funds for new studies.

If you want to support, that is to support the old school, support those academies and private schools.

As for charging a certain amount of tuition fees for new students, in Liu Jin's view, it is not acceptable.

The reason why many parents are willing to send their children to the new school is because the new school is free, and a lunch is included. This study does not cost money, and the child will be their own child when they will be promising in the future. This deal is very cost-effective .

If fees are charged, at least it is normal for a student to charge two or three taels of silver a year, which may make many parents not let their children go to school.

In particular, many girls will lose the opportunity to study. You must know that even if reading is free now, many parents are unwilling to send their girls to study, thinking that there is no need for girls to read so many books.

If you go to elementary school and learn arithmetic, you can know some characters. This is still free. If you charge for it, it is estimated that there are too many, too many people who will still lose their educational opportunities.

This is what Liu Jin does not want to see. Women can hold up half the sky, and they can also produce many excellent scientists, engineers, talents, etc. Now that he has money, he must support it.

If that day really comes, let’s talk about it at that time. There must be a road when the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. Sometimes I think too much, but it will be very tiring.

"Our new school is better. In addition to the colleges and universities founded by Mr. Liu, there are also many colleges and universities founded by themselves in various places. There are dozens of them in total. Generally speaking, the number of people and the ratio of admissions are still acceptable. .”

"This year's imperial examination is really a thousand troops crossing the single-plank bridge. It is really too difficult!"

PS: Do you think we should recruit students independently?
