Chapter 672 The Troublemaker! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"How are the students' college application processes going?"

Sitting in the main seat of the school's conference room, Wu Zhi got straight to the point.

"All forms have been completed!"

The principal of the factory-run school immediately handed over a document.

In the 1984 National College Entrance Examination, students filled out their college applications before the exam.

Wu Zhi took the materials and casually flipped through them, focusing on the key points. Then he asked in confusion, "Why aren't many students applying to universities and colleges in Nanhua?"

"After all, it's too far away!"

The principal of the factory-run high school carefully explained, "The teachers have asked some prospective students, and most of them have chosen schools in Beijing and the surrounding areas, or they have directly chosen to repeat a year!"

"Fine!"

Wu Zhi closed the documents in his hand, stood up and instructed, "The school must make proper arrangements for the college entrance examination of the senior students!"

After saying that, he strode away.

"Principal, should we try to persuade those students who are severely unbalanced in their studies?"

At this moment, the head of the teaching department couldn't help but whisper, "With their overall grades, it's pure wishful thinking for them to get into university!"

"But if they apply to junior colleges in Nanhua, they should have a pretty good chance of getting in, which would be very advantageous for them!"

"Forget it, let's not get involved in the students' college application process!"

The principal, however, disagreed, saying, "It's better for our own students to apply to our own junior colleges!"

However, they did not notice the barely perceptible contempt and disdain on the dean's face.

Do you really think the factory manager doesn't know what you guys are thinking?
If the school principal is not personally appointed by the education department, let's see how long you can stay in the principal's position!
At this moment, Wu Zhi was not in a good mood.

He never expected that, on his own little plot of land, someone would dare to play the same old trick of feigning compliance while secretly going against him.

He immediately returned to the office building, found the Party Secretary, and said directly, "The factory-run high school needs a new principal!"

"What's wrong? Did the principal of the factory-run high school offend you?"

The secretary was somewhat surprised and jokingly remarked, "It can't be that bad, can it?"

"Hmph, I wonder what he's thinking?"

Wu Zhi wasn't angry. He briefly recounted his trip to the factory-run high school before saying irritably, "If no one had secretly guided them, I don't believe those students who excelled in certain subjects would have made such a choice!"

"Indeed, this old Li is acting a bit nonsensically!"

The Party Secretary frowned as well, and said in a deep voice, "Then let's submit our suggestions to the Education Bureau in the name of the factory office, and give a push to our own people while we're at it!"

It's 1984 now, how many years has it been since the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) was reinstated in China?
Let alone getting into a university or junior college, even getting into a vocational high school is quite an achievement.

Besides, as someone within the system, the Party Secretary understands that the earlier one enters the system, the more advantageous it is.

Not to mention, right now is a time when the country is desperately seeking talented people.

It is very likely that a lag of one or two years will have a staggering impact on the future.

"It's not that the country doesn't recognize the diplomas from Nanhua College; in fact, a Nanhua College diploma might even be more sought after!"

Wu Zhi said unhappily, "If I can get into my desired university after repeating a year or two, that's acceptable!"

"But if you have to repeat a grade for five, six, seven, or eight years, and the university or junior college you finally get into isn't even that great, then you're really in trouble!" He added with a cold laugh, "Some of those students who are severely unbalanced in their studies genuinely have absolutely no interest in certain subjects!"

“Especially for rural students, the learning environment for English is already very poor, and the teachers may not even be qualified. How can they improve?”

In fact, he was not interested in the craze for going abroad and the English craze that had emerged in Beijing in recent years.

"Indeed, studying at Nanhua University is a good option!"

The secretary echoed this sentiment, a point he had to acknowledge.

Nanhua has maintained an extremely close relationship with the mainland for ten years.

With permission from the mainland, colleges and vocational schools in Nanhua have been able to recruit students from within China for a long time.

In fact, college students, junior college students, and vocational school students from that region are highly valued when they return to China.

Once the national college entrance examination is reinstated, Nanhua University will still be able to recruit students from across China.

However, they changed their strategy, trying their best not to compete with domestic colleges and universities for high-quality students.

The colleges and universities in Nanhua mainly recruit recent graduates who are good at math and science.

In other words, their recruitment targets are mostly students who failed the national college entrance examination in China, and they have basically no competition with domestic colleges and universities.

In such cases, if a senior high school student has a severe imbalance in their academic subjects, especially in math, physics, and chemistry, it is best to apply to a junior college in Nanhua, where they will almost certainly be accepted.

Domestically, the academic qualifications of Nanhua College are also recognized!

In fact, students trained by Nanhua College and University are indeed quite outstanding in terms of mathematical and scientific foundations and practical skills.

Similarly, the admission criteria of Nanhua College are quite favorable to students from rural areas and some urban areas across the country.

The most distinctive feature is that English is not a core subject, and it is not tested in the college entrance examination.

However, once you enter Nanhua College, you must pass the Political Science course and the Chinese History course in your first year, otherwise you will have to repeat the year.

It's fair to say that Nanhua University enrolls more students from across China each year than any other college or university in the country.

Although most of them stayed in Nanhua to work, a small number returned to China and received attention from the country.

This is why Wu Zhicai harbored resentment towards the principal of the factory-run high school.

Regardless of the principal's true intentions, his actions have hindered the future of many students, something Wu Zhi absolutely cannot tolerate.

In fact, because of his eldest son Wu Aiguo, he knew that he had reached the pinnacle and there was basically no possibility of going any further.

Therefore, he devoted all his energy to the Gulou Machinery Factory.

I don't want the school principal's ulterior motives to ruin the studies and future of the factory children.

You should know that, given the reputation of being a child of the Gulou Machinery Factory, if someone went to Nanhua College to study at a junior college, they would receive some preferential treatment.

Putting aside other factors, being able to enter the factory for an internship a year and a half in advance means that, after graduation, their abilities and practical skills will make them outstanding talents among domestic university graduates.

So, shortly before the college entrance examination, the principal of the high school run by Gulou Machinery Factory was replaced, but this did not cause any ripples within the machinery factory.

Not only that, the senior year of high school started a new round of college application. This time, several factory leaders were stationed at the school to keep an eye on things, not giving any of the guys any chance to take advantage of the situation, and dealing with any cases they found.

All I can say is that some people are truly shameless!
They say one thing to your face and another behind your back, taking advantage of information asymmetry to cheat students. They are simply inhuman.
