The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 921 Battlefield
The college entrance examination is a battlefield.

Thousands of troops and bloody storm!
Who will return triumphantly with his battle robe stained with blood, and who will be defeated and sink in the sand, turning into a cup of earth? Everything is unknown.

For most people, the college entrance examination may not be the most important exam in their lives, 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, about 380 million people will take the college entrance examination, and 220 million of them will be admitted to universities, which means 220 million people will be admitted to junior colleges and undergraduate colleges.

Compared to the past, more and more people are now attending high school, and more and more people are able to go to college.

It has been 1977 years since the resumption of the college entrance examination in 18.

For 18 years, generation after generation has left their footprints in the college entrance examination.

The college entrance examination is a unique feature of China. Over the past decade, the people taking the exam have changed, 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; this is the nature of society.

Although it is not as cruel as the law of the jungle where one fights to the death, the college entrance examination can indeed change the fate of many people.

Southwest Associated University also made an important decision this year. The number of students admitted through the Chinese college entrance examination will be increased to 3600. Together with overseas Chinese and independent enrollment, the number of new students at Southwest Associated University will reach 4200.

For Chinese students, it is free, but for overseas Chinese students, the tuition is much higher, including tuition, accommodation and canteen fees, which is 8 RMB per year.

Although every year overseas Chinese students are very dissatisfied with this policy, the school's response is always consistent, that is, Southwest Associated University is a Chinese university, built with the money of the Chinese people, Chinese students are free because of the Chinese taxpayers' money, and overseas students have not paid taxes for China, so naturally they should pay.

If the tuition fee is high, then you can work hard to get a full scholarship.

It was also the overseas students who made the Chinese students realize that every study they made was not only the result of their own hard work, but also the result of a lot of money spent by the country. As long as they were admitted to Southwest Associated University, it meant that they had helped their families earn at least 32 yuan.

32 RMB is still a staggering amount of money for China today, and most families cannot afford it.

Education has always been expensive. Just look at the tuition fees of famous universities in Europe and the United States. It is almost $5 a year, and even $10 if it is expensive. Many people have to bear heavy loans after graduating from college, and they have to pay it back for the rest of their lives.

Only in China, with a large amount of financial allocations and relatively low teachers' salaries, the cost of education borne by individuals appears relatively low.

Zhu Lin is also busy because Liu Qing'an and Liu Manhua are taking the high school entrance examination this year.

Although as sports students, the two of them can go to middle school without taking the high school entrance examination, Liu Tao's requirement for his children has always been that they can have hobbies but cannot give up studying.

Therefore, my children have loved learning since childhood and their academic performance has never fallen behind.

When 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 period, the Women's Federation will have a four-day holiday so that everyone can accompany their children in the most important exam of their lives with peace of mind.

Even though Zhu Lin had already planned his children's education, he was still very nervous at this moment.

She has already cooked the stew at home.

Now we just need to wait for the children to leave the examination room so that they can have a delicious meal as soon as possible. Liu Tao accompanied the leaders of the Ministry of Education and other relevant departments to have dinner together.

We didn’t eat in any hotel or restaurant outside, but in the cafeteria of Panshan Group’s 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 you are detached from the masses and out of touch with the world, how can you talk about serving the people?

Therefore, in Panshan Group, when relevant departments come to inspect, they are arranged to eat in the cafeteria. They do not receive any special treatment, let alone special meals.

The only time we have special training every year is probably during the Party Committee meeting.

If they give special treatment on a regular basis, 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 would probably be tens of billions or even hundreds of billions!"

To be honest, it is not easy to popularize this education in 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 huge, far exceeding military spending."

Liu Tao was not worried because he had already done this in his previous life.

Education funding is increasing every year, and it’s not just the amount of funding that’s increasing, but also the proportion of funding that’s increasing.

He remembered that twenty years later, China's fiscal education expenditure exceeded 4 trillion yuan, while 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 it is actually far from enough. We need more education funding to train more teachers, build more schools, and allow more children to afford to go to school and read books, so as to 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 talent? Competition in the 21st century is ultimately a competition for talent."

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 life is, we must not let our children suffer; no matter how poor we are, we must not let our education suffer!
This propaganda slogan has long been heard throughout China and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

A place’s political achievements, especially its educational achievements, are important evaluation indicators.

Even though there is a lot of funding for education now, much more than 18 years ago and several times more than military spending, it is still not enough.

Huaxia Education is looking at Europe and the United States, benchmarking against them in terms of academic qualifications, and it wants to do better than them.

All of 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, it is easy for university graduates to find a job, and the salary level of fresh graduates is not low.

Even after more than a decade, when there are more and more college students, and even when 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.

Experiencing the pain of lack of talent and the worries of happiness that follow, there is more happiness than worries.
