Before making the decision to make primary and upper primary education free, Dulin also did some research. At present, the total population of the Ambiluo region is about 1.3 million, of which the education-age population is about 300,000.
However, less than one-eighth of those who can actually receive education, that is, only 30,000 to 40,000 people are eligible to receive education, and among these educated people, the number of people receiving advanced education will further decline.
Many families drop out of school after primary school and do not even go to high school. Even fewer can go to high school, and very few can go to college. The lack of educational resources leads to the shortage of teachers on the one hand, and the contradiction between expenses and family income on the other hand.
According to the current education rules in the empire, the total cost for a child to complete elementary school, high school and university is about 6,000 to 7,000 yuan. Before college, that is, from elementary school to high school, the cost is about 2,700 yuan. Around 100 yuan to 3,000 yuan.
The per capita income in the Ambiluo area is low. If two people work in an ordinary family, the monthly income of each family ranges from about 80 yuan to 100 yuan. This is significantly lower than the salary level in developed cities in the south. .
This year the minimum monthly income in Ilian has risen to 63.70 yuan, but in Ambiluo it is only between 40 and 50 yuan.
After excluding reasonable household expenses such as food and clothing, each family can only provide one or two children at most to complete basic and intermediate education. By the time they reach university, most families cannot afford the annual tuition of more than 1,000 yuan. , so there are only two universities in eight cities and eleven towns in the entire state, and both universities are not ranked in the empire!
And, these numbers come from that very magical word “per capita.”
If we want to improve the depth of educational resources in the Ambiluo region and increase the number of school-age people, it is imperative to implement free education. The potential of a region mainly comes from the degree of industrialization and education. If Dulin wants to produce a perfect answer in the next eight years, then the proportion of these two aspects must be increased!
This costs a lot of money, but he doesn't mind. He will promulgate a series of policies to encourage private capital to invest in education. For example, the funds invested in educational resources can serve as part of the tax. Dulin himself is a large taxpayer. Of course, this It has nothing to do with his push for free education, or so he thinks.
When Dulin called out to provide free education, the cowboys in the square were dumbfounded.
Even though this is the most backward and remote place in the empire, people can still understand how terrible the impact of education level is on the future of life, and they themselves are constantly showing the gap in this regard.
A person who has only attended elementary school can only do the most basic work as an adult, selling his physical strength in exchange for meager remuneration.
But a high-end intellectual talent with a degree in college is very likely to squeeze into the middle class within five to ten years of entering society.
The income of high-end knowledge talents will be dozens of times, or even a hundred times more than the income of residents who have undergone literacy education and only have basic knowledge.
The first thing any family must do if they want to make huge changes is to climb to a higher social class and upgrade in class. Only then can huge changes be possible.
If they are not poor, if they are not backward, who would want their children to be like themselves, bending down in the cold winter or under the scorching sun, living like dogs in farmland, pastures, and mines
Even more tired than a dog, and the food is not as good as a dog!
They just liked Du Lin before, but now they have a firm urge to support him and vote for him. It can even be said to be a belief!
"Mr. Dulin, I understand what you mean by free education, but who will pay for it?"
Some people have raised this issue, which is normal. Any policy will be questioned to a certain extent before it is promulgated and implemented, and it may even take several to dozens of hearings to be finalized.
Having dissent means that people have ideas, which is a good thing..., yes, a good thing.
Du Lin answered the question with a smile, "Part of this money will come from the finance. If the finance does not allow that..." He paused slightly here, and many people held their breath. He pointed again. Tian Tian said loudly in an extremely firm tone, "Then I will pay for the money!"
There was a roar and the whole square was boiling. Many people couldn't believe their ears. What the great Mr. Dulin just said was that he wanted to pay this money, but did he know how much the money was
Well, actually this is also a misunderstanding that people have about free education resources. There are currently less than a thousand registered and employed teachers in the entire West, so let’s count them as ten thousand. Give them ten times the total number, and then give them If the salary is increased to the normal level, the monthly salary that needs to be paid is 700,000 to 800,000 yuan.
Including the various wear and tear and maintenance costs of each school, including necessary physical education resources, the monthly expenditure on education is about 1.2 million.
However, please note that this number is after a tenfold increase. In fact, based on the current situation in the West, a monthly expenditure of 100,000 yuan is already very impressive.
Is this a lot of money
Not much at all. Just the amount of various taxes such as business tax paid by Dulin every month in Ilian exceeds three million. And with the rapid growth of the TV group's business, this number is very likely to increase. To break the five million mark next year.
Moving the headquarters of the TV group to Ambiluo, and then using the funds invested in education to offset taxes, Dulin actually made a profit!
But these people in the square didn't know this. Their only thought at this time was that Du Lin was so great!
At this time, an old man on crutches was escorted by several young people to the podium. Such an old man really needed to appear at this time. He was definitely not an actor or anything, but a local with high prestige. When this old man was young, he served as the local police chief several times and did many big things, some of which have been adapted into scripts and made into movies.
He stood under the podium and looked at Dulin. The wrinkles and loose muscles on his face slipped to the side as he raised his head. There was a thrilling luster in his cloudy eyes, "Mr. Dulin, can you tell us Promise and guarantee that you have not deceived us and will fulfill your promise?”
Du Lin raised his hand and faced the microphone solemnly. At this moment, it was as if he was the only voice in the whole world, "I swear, in the name of my surname, the name of the late king and the gods, I guarantee what I just said. Every sentence is true. As long as I become the governor of Ambluo State, this will become the first regional policy I will enact and will be written into local law!”
Suddenly a cowboy took off the shotgun on his back, fired a shot into the sky, and shouted "Dulin" loudly. In an instant, the whole square turned into the world and country in Dulin's dream. That day is called "year".
Crackling, different sounds produced by various types of firearms were fired one after another. People pulled the triggers, whistled or shouted Dulin's name, rejoicing for everything he said and the future they could look forward to.
Suddenly Dulin realized that perhaps it was not that the previous governors, including those currently in office, had failed to act, but that they were too afraid of such a scene. There are cowboys with the hottest tempers and completely uncontrolled firearms. Bullets flying everywhere are the real melody here.
He likes it here, likes people's love for him, and likes the whistle when bullets tear through the air. He also believes that this place will become a paradise, a real paradise!
This is the West.
This is Ambiluo!
This is Dulin's world!
"That's ridiculous!" The current governor couldn't help but say this when he heard Dulin's speech and everything that happened at the scene being described.
There is no doubt that as a politician with normal mind, normal thinking ability and normal outlook on life, his evaluation of Dulin is very accurate and ridiculous.
Is it that simple to provide free education? In fact, the empire has not considered this issue over the years, but every time it has just left it alone.
Free education will embezzle a large amount of government finances without any return. Even the Ministry of Education, which was established in two this year, believes that the current stage is not the most appropriate practice to implement free education, but Dulin actually wants to be the most advanced in the west. Do you think those voters in a backward place are easy to mess with if they are doing this
Once he relies on these small means to get a large number of votes and is unable to fulfill his promise after taking office, those simple cowboys will make him understand that revenge often only requires a gun and two bullets!
As for Dulin's criticism of him and his predecessors, it is not a problem.
Considering the face of the Timamont family and the exchange of interests that had been reached, he didn't feel anything at all, and even felt a little secretly happy.
His secretary looked at his "boss" and laughed inexplicably, and couldn't help but remind him, "Why don't you say hello to Dulin and ask him to avoid you when he attacks the state government and the city hall below in the future?" ?”
The governor smiled and shook his head, "There's no need. The higher he promotes himself, the more painful his fall will be. Our great leader, Mr. Mags, may have misjudged this time!"
Maggs, who has always shown the characteristic of "stability", actually recruited such a radical niece-in-law like Du Lin, which is really below his standards.
Thinking that he would be able to leave this damn place and go to a developed city soon, the governor looked at his watch and said hello to his secretary, "Remember to wake me up fifteen minutes before getting off work, so I can sleep for a while!"
I can’t update even though I’m sick. I have a fever and my balls hurt. Is there such a conscientious author as me in Qidian? Where’s my monthly ticket
