Village chief, your township enterprise sells laser cannons?

Chapter 115 The Journey of Learning! (First Update!)

Faced with Lin Man's request, Wan Chen's smile slowly faded, finally turning into a sigh. He put his hands behind his back and slowly walked towards the school gate.

The primary school principal quickly followed, pushed open the iron gate, and guided people into the school.

Chen Zhenhai hesitated for two seconds, then placed his right hand on Lin Man's shoulder and pushed him forward. He then followed suit.

Wan Chen naturally heard the commotion behind him. He shook his head with a wry smile and continued walking forward until he reached the flagpole. Only then did he stop, looking at the stainless steel flagpole.

When the next few footsteps caught up with him, he turned around and said to Lin Man, who was walking towards him, "If it's a pre-compulsory education stage like kindergarten, and you want to keep it, as long as you can guarantee the funding, just write a note, and I'll get it approved."

"But you still need to keep the primary school, and from what you just said, you're planning to set up a public-private partnership school."

"If that's the case, I can only say I'm sorry."

"The state has now stipulated that no new public-private partnership schools shall be approved. For existing or planned partnerships, the policy tends to convert them into public schools or terminate their operation."

"In particular, public schools that are run independently or in cooperation with local governments should be converted into public schools. If they do not meet the six independent regulations, they should either be converted into public schools or be shut down."

"If there's no primary school here, your application will be approved."

"But this primary school itself is going to close down, and if you apply now, it will definitely not be approved."

"Therefore, if you want to keep this school, you can only convert it to a private school."

"However, primary school is the compulsory education stage, and the state stipulates that private schools in the compulsory education stage must be registered as non-profit institutions."

"There are strict regulations on related fees. Schools are not allowed to charge fees for the next academic year and must strictly implement the fee disclosure system."

"In reality, with over a hundred students in your school, it's virtually impossible for you to obtain sufficient educational funding from them."

"Then the problem arises: a hole will appear in the teaching funds, a persistent and huge hole."

"This year, your village collective has money to support it, and it can support it next year too, but what about the year after?"

"What did you just say? As long as you, Lin Man, don't die, this funding will continue indefinitely."

"What if you die?"

"And as far as I know, you are a selected graduate from the provincial government, and you are only here to be stationed in the village."

"Even if you are implicated because of Lin Yaozong's case, you will eventually have to return to your unit in three to five years."

"What will happen after you go back?"

"So—" Wan Chen said, then looked up at the flagpole again. The flagpole was empty, and no flag was being raised.

He then looked away, walked to Lin Man's side, and gently patted Lin Man's shoulder: "So, give up!"

""

After persuading Lin Man once again, Wan Chen walked over to Liu Guoming, the primary school principal, who was standing nearby: "Where's the national flag?"

"Bring out the national flag; we are holding our final flag-raising ceremony here."

"Once the flag is raised, the primary school's mission is complete. It's already August. For the next month or so, you'll have to do some work, take stock of the student and teacher information, pack it up, and send it to the district education bureau so they can allocate the students and teachers."

"Arrange for them to find employment and attend school nearby."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guoming knew there was no way to change the situation. His once straight shoulders collapsed at this moment, and he turned around and walked weakly toward the teaching building.

After going upstairs, I found the national flag in the office on the second floor, carried it on my shoulder, and reappeared on the playground.

Afterwards, he straightened his clothes, carried the national flag, and slowly walked to the flagpole with slightly distorted steps.

He took a deep breath and walked step by step up to the flagpole to fix the national flag. After he finished fixing the flag, Wan Chen, who was standing next to him, tidied his appearance, stood in front of the flagpole, looked up at the flagpole, and sang the national anthem.

Wan Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

Just then, Lin Man heard the mission notification sound.

[Ding! Quest: The Path to Learning! Updated! Forced to accept!]

[Task Description: The path to education is always arduous. The task is to establish a kindergarten and primary school for Hongxing Village.]

[Task Reward: Project Construction Acceleration Card *1]

The mission notification sound left Lin Man stunned for a long time, because this reward was something he had never heard of before.

But now was not the time to look. He suppressed his excitement and looked up at the national flag in front of him.

As he spoke, Liu Guoming gripped the steel cable on the flagpole with both hands, gritted his teeth, and pulled the cable down with all his might.

The steel cable on this side is pulled down, while the steel cable on the other side slowly rises.

As Wan Chen sang the last line, the national flag was raised to its highest point.

After securing the steel cable, Liu Guoming looked up at the national flag above his head, choked back a sob, saluted, and then backed off the flagpole.

He stepped back, and Wan Chen walked over and gently patted his shoulder: "Don't be emotional."

After giving his instructions, Wan Chen returned to Lin Man and said, "Secretary Lin, could you please do some ideological work with the villagers during this time?"

Please!

After explaining things to Lin Man, he walked past her and prepared to leave. Just as he took a step, Lin Man called out to him, "Director Wan, is it true that as long as I set up a company, prepare the funds, and then write an application for a private school, I can start running the school?"

"Yes!" Wan Chen nodded, then took a breath: "However, there are quite a few requirements. If you apply to establish it directly, you need to submit detailed articles of association, proof of assets, principal and teacher qualification certificates, and a capital verification report."

"Furthermore, debt-financed construction is strictly prohibited, and assets must be clearly identified."

"If you are sure you want to apply, I can give you a detailed form. Submit the relevant documents before August 15th. Optimistically, the review should be completed in two weeks."

"Your application has been approved. You can establish a primary school in Hongxing Village and enroll students independently in accordance with national guidelines."

"If the application is rejected, students from Hongxing Village and several surrounding villages will need to go to the town."

After leaving a few words, Wan Chen bypassed Lin Man and headed straight for the main gate of the primary school.

Chen Zhenhai, who had been standing by as a background figure, stepped forward and whispered to Lin Man, "There's no need for that!"

"It's necessary!" Lin Man turned around and looked at the school building in front of him: "This piece of land that this primary school occupies used to be called Lin Family School."

"At that time, the village was called Linjia Village. Later, Linjia Village and Mojiatan merged to form Hongxing Village, and Linjia School was renamed Hongxing Primary School."

"In 03, the primary school was rebuilt and became what it is today."

"I loved coming here when I was a child because there were so many people. But as I grew up, I came less often."

"I never imagined that when I came back now, this village primary school couldn't even be preserved."

"What can you do then?" Chen Zhenhai couldn't help but sigh. As the secretary of Linhai Town, he had information on various villages in his filing cabinet.

In those years when the population was large, every village had a primary school.

In recent years, a large number of people have migrated to cities, resulting in a gradual decrease in the number of children in villages and towns, and schools have naturally been abandoned.

Hongxing Primary School was just one of the lucky ones that was merged a few days later.

He reached out and patted Lin Man on the shoulder, then turned around and followed the group from the Education Bureau.

Lin Man paused for a moment, then quickly followed.

Seeing him chasing after him again, Wan Chen raised his hand to stop the driver from driving, got out of the car, and reached out to stop Lin Man: "Secretary Lin, is there anything else you want to say?"

"Two points!" Lin Man held up two fingers: "After the elementary schools are merged and closed down, what are the Education Bureau's plans regarding the elementary school buildings?"

"Also, if we start a school, can we rent this school?"

Knowing that the person in front of him had not given up on the idea of ​​running the school, Wan Chen pondered for a moment and also gave up the idea of ​​persuading him.

He took out his phone and sent a few messages in the WeChat group. A few minutes later, he received a few replies in the WeChat group, including two photos.

Wan Chen opened the photo, squinted at it for a while, and then showed it to Lin Man: "The original Hongxing Primary School was rebuilt by the Hongxing Village collective on the basis of the Lin Family School."

"The school was renovated in 2003, and the Education Bureau and Hongxing Village signed a new agreement."

"The land remains under the jurisdiction of Hongxing Village, but the buildings on the ground are under the jurisdiction of the Education Bureau."

"According to our usual practice and the latest regulations on the disposal of other idle village primary schools, these idle primary school classrooms are generally handed over to the village committee and converted into rural elderly care and cultural centers."

"If you build a new school, the Education Bureau can make a special approval to transfer it directly to your village committee, and then your village committee can contact the educational institution you are establishing. At that time, it will no longer be our business."

"However, the prerequisite is that you have to get the school approved first."

"Alright, that's all I have to say. If you want to apply, take your documents to the Education Bureau, and it will be approved once they've reviewed and approved them."

After saying everything he needed to say, Wan Chen sighed, then waved to Lin Man, turned around, and got into the car.

The cars started, and the convoy drove away in a grand procession, leaving Lin Man standing alone at the door.

After a while, Principal Liu Guoming arrived at the school gate and noticed Lin Man standing there. He walked over and stood beside Lin Man for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Secretary Lin, are you really planning to start a village primary school?"

"Really? You're planning to add another kindergarten. Principal Liu, do you have any advice?" Lin Man turned around, and only then did he notice that Liu Guoming's expression was a bit off.

It gives the feeling that something important has been lost.

"I wouldn't dare accept your guidance!" Liu Guoming waved his hands repeatedly, then asked expectantly, "Are you short of a principal?"

This question surprised Lin Man: "Hasn't the district made any arrangements?"

"I've got a plan." Liu Guoming stretched: "I've been assigned to be the director of the moral education department at the Third Primary School in the district."

"That's a good thing!"

"But I don't want to go. I have a bad temper to begin with. If I were to become the director of the moral education department, I estimate that the complaints from parents would turn the entire education bureau upside down."

"Then—then wait for my news!" Lin Man paused for two seconds, stretched, and then strode forward.

In just a few seconds, he disappeared from Liu Guoming's sight.

After leaving the village primary school, Lin Man went straight to the village committee, went into the village broadcasting room, picked up the microphone and tapped it twice: "I have some bad news for everyone. After repeated discussions by the higher education bureau, our village's kindergarten and primary school will be canceled."

"Children in the village need to go to the town to attend kindergarten and primary school."

"However, I have some good news to share with everyone: I have decided to establish an educational institution in the village and apply for a new Hongxing Primary School and a new Hongxing Kindergarten."

"During the application process, someone may come down to conduct research, so please cooperate."

"I'm going to get busy!"

After the broadcast ended, Lin Man found Lin Yongqian in the next office. "Old man, we need your help. I can handle the money and manpower!"

"The original principal of the primary school, Liu Guoming, did not want to comply with the district's arrangements, so I plan to keep him as the principal."

"We can just recruit a few teachers from the school at the job market."

"If all else fails, I'll personally go and poach them."

"Finally, there's the stamping of all the documents, which requires your personal involvement, sir, since you were once part of the education system."

Upon hearing that his job involved running around getting signatures and stamps, Lin Yongqian chuckled and patted his chest, saying, "Leave this to me; I'll handle it myself."

"If anyone dares to say another word, I'll lie down right in front of them."

"It's settled then!" Lin Man clapped his hands and hurriedly left the village committee.

He desperately needs his strategist, Wang Ju.

Twenty minutes later, in the office building of the metal processing plant, after listening to Lin Man's request, Wang Ju felt a bit overwhelmed.

He turned on his computer with a speechless expression, subconsciously clicked on Doubao, and started asking what documents were needed to apply for a private primary school.

In less than 30 seconds, Doubao provided him with the answer.

I have already submitted an application to the Education Bureau.

"Hehe————" Wang Ju chuckled twice, deleted the bean bun from his computer desktop, and started doing it himself. He spent a long time searching on the relevant website of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education, and the document in front of him was full of information.

Turning around, he placed the documents in front of Lin Man: "I'll tell you the process, you need to write it down. You need to first establish an educational institution, and then apply to the Education Bureau for establishment in the name of this educational institution."

"The content includes the school's purpose, scale, and investment budget. As you just said, once it's submitted, the education bureau should approve it directly."

"Once we receive the approval for establishment, the next step is to provide a capital verification report, the school's articles of association, and a list of the first board members."

"Once the application is approved, the Education Bureau will organize an expert review and then issue a school operating license."

Finally, take the permit to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register.

"Among these documents, the most important one is the property ownership certificate, which is the ownership certificate for the school building."

"We need to get the primary school building from the Education Bureau first before we can get this certificate."

"The rest is easy to discuss!"

"And you have to hurry, this whole process will take at least a month and a half."

"If you slow down, the children in your village won't have any school to attend."

"I understand!" Lin Man nodded, took out his phone and started calling his father.
