Compared with the above two education systems, my country's compulsory education is actually more complicated. This does not lead to public opposition. No Chinese people do not want their children to go to school, and it is free.
Rather, our country has a vast territory with various complex landforms. More importantly, there are people living in every nook and cranny of our country, and they have lived there for who knows how many generations.
There have been many reports in previous lives about villages living on cliffs, villages living in deep mountains and old forests, and all kinds of strange terrains with traces of Chinese habitation. Going out for a trip is no different from an adventure.
The compulsory education undertaken by Chinese education companies needs to take care of every student as much as possible and prevent any student from dropping out of school. This is the difficulty.
It is difficult to build long-term education centers in these very remote living environments. First, the transportation is very inconvenient. Unless they are local teachers, outside teachers are not willing to come to these places to teach, let alone stay there permanently.
Second, these places are generally poor, and the folk customs are not particularly civilized. Especially since their ancestors have been here for generations, they are laissez-faire about their children's education and do not pay special attention to it.
The Han people are better off and basically have a tradition of education. However, for some ethnic minorities, this concept is relatively weak. If the transportation environment cannot be improved, it will be very difficult for their children to travel across mountains and rivers to go to school.
However, Chinese education companies cannot give up on the education of these children. As a unified country, education actually has a civilizing purpose. Only by receiving orthodox education can we achieve better national integration.
For example, in places with densely populated areas and smooth traffic, it is very easy to build schools. You only need to build a central school in the local area. Even in villages a little further away, school buses can be used to pick up and drop off students.
However, in such remote and desolate areas with inconvenient transportation, it is very difficult to rely on the construction of central schools. Many villages live in inaccessible places.
Not to mention the long journey to the nearby market towns, it also takes up to two or three hours, which is not bad. Some places only have one or two households, but it takes a day or two to get out.
It is impossible for a Chinese education company to set up a separate teaching site in a place like this. Even if the Chinese education company is willing to pay the money, not many teachers are willing to teach in such a place, let alone a permanent resident.
There is really no need to build this kind of teaching point with unstable personnel, and other costs incurred every year are also very high. However, this problem must still be solved. What should we do
China Education Corporation has worked with the Ministry of Education, the National Development and Reform Commission, local governments, etc. to come up with several methods and formulated relevant implementation routes for each problem.
First of all, for places that are only two or three hours away from market towns, if these places have a large population and are suitable for building hardened roads, then relevant roads should be built to solve traffic problems.
If the population in these places is sparse and there are only one or two households, then there is no need to build separate roads. The cost will be high, so the following two methods can only be used to solve the problem.
The first is relocation. In remote and sparsely populated places like this, the living environment is generally poor. It is difficult for the government to invest local funds to achieve sustainable and healthy development. The only way is to move to villages and towns with better conditions.
This will not only allow their children to go to school nearby, but also allow people in these remote places to obtain a relatively comfortable living environment, and also facilitate future poverty alleviation work.
The second is that the school arranges for their children to live in the school. Not all people in remote areas are willing to move out. It cannot be ruled out that some people are just stubborn.
Regarding this situation, it is not necessary to say whether these adults deserve sympathy, but their children are innocent. Since the adults are unwilling to move out, the only choice is to provide housing for these people's children.
Although this will also increase the expenses of the Chinese education company, compared with building bridges and roads, it is actually the lowest cost. It only needs to build more dormitories and provide two more meals, which are nothing.
Of course, some people are not enthusiastic about their children's education, especially those who are not enthusiastic about girls receiving education. At this time, it is no longer the matter of the Chinese education companies, and it is up to the relevant law enforcement agencies to educate these stubborn people.
What is compulsory education? It is not a question of whether you are willing or not. It is a matter of your children's education that you must bear. This is an obligation, not a right. If it is not implemented, then legal measures can only be taken to enforce it.
If it was due to the shortage of educational resources in the past and the high tuition fees for schooling, it would be understandable that many families could not afford the education of their children. After all, even if you kill some people, you will not be able to come up with the money to educate their children.
But now Chinese education companies have borne almost all the cost of education. Not to mention tuition, even lunch, dormitories, etc. are all included. Under such circumstances, if parents are still so stubborn, they are in need of education. .
The second is the residential area that takes two or three days to walk from the nearest market. If there are a large number of local residents, the only way is to build a teaching point there. Although the scale may not be very large, it is very necessary.
Although there may be relatively few teachers willing to go there, Chinese education companies will recruit people with certain cultural backgrounds to serve as teachers locally. In such large residential areas, there will usually be some educated people, and it is rare for all of them to be illiterate.
If they are really all illiterate, then the only way is to send teachers in from outside. In order to make teachers willing to come in to teach, the only way is to improve the teachers' salary. There must be brave men under heavy rewards. This exists everywhere.
In particular, Chinese education companies have no special requirements for the teaching level of teachers, because the main teaching work is performed by intelligent teachers. These teachers usually only need to be responsible for classroom discipline and maintaining school operations.
Although Zhao Yi followed the inspection team to the ethnic minority gathering areas in Guizhou last time and has a very intuitive understanding of the local conditions, the above work can solve the problems of Chinese education companies.
However, there has not been much improvement in the local poverty problem. It is estimated that these educated students will not be able to stay locally in the future and will definitely migrate to more economically developed areas.
To be honest, Zhao Yi is not opposed to certain migration, but what Zhao Yi hopes more is the balanced development of the region. If all the educated people leave, how will the local social economy develop.
Although the purpose of education is to educate people, it is also to help them get rid of poverty. If the local economy is not developed, these educated people can only go to other places to get rid of their own poverty, which is of no help to their hometown.
Therefore, if you want to change the local appearance, relying solely on education will definitely not work. You must also combine poverty alleviation work to change the local socio-economic development model.
Not only to achieve the level of social governance and economic development of developed areas, but also to at least change the backwardness of the local area and form its own system of sustainable economic development.
The current economy of remote areas in the country is actually still the previous small-scale farmer economic model. They can only rely on the small fields they plant to make a living, and there are very few economic exchanges with other areas in the country.
In that case, the local area will only be in a state of population loss for a long time, and the local economy and society will not be able to achieve real development for a long time.
In Zhao Yi's view, if you want a place to form a civilized society and a good economic order, you must inject a large number of intellectuals into the local area. Only in this way can the local society and economy form a good atmosphere for development.
Chinese education companies simply provide compulsory education, which is not enough to change the backwardness of many remote areas. It can only enable some people to go out, and the mess will still stay in the local area.
After returning, Zhao Yi proposed a poverty alleviation plan to the relevant departments. To be honest, Zhao Yi should not have raised this issue, because after all, he is also a businessman.
There is not much interference in measures of this kind of national policy. The best way is to do your own business honestly and wait until the country needs it, and then cooperate with relevant policies.
But after he took a trip, he really couldn't bear this situation to continue for a long time, so regardless of whether it was effective or not, he compiled his relevant suggestions into a document and handed it over to the relevant department leaders.
Although he is a businessman, his status is there. Although he has no right to interfere or make decisions, he still has some right to make suggestions. As long as he starts from his heart and does not overly mix his own selfish interests, he will have a clear conscience.
In this world, not all actions must be based on interests. Sometimes, acting according to one's own heart is the best interpretation of their coming to the world. Whatever they do, they only want to be clear in their hearts.
Although Zhao Yi is still unable to fully achieve this, he is still willing to follow his heart and do what he can within his ability.
Although poverty alleviation is a continuous task and requires the government to invest a lot of resources, these resources are not necessarily money. The government actually has many resources, but they have not discovered it.
Zhao Yi is a businessman himself. Although many things are based on interests, he still has his own understanding of developing the economy of poor areas.
Nowadays, the areas connected by domestic expressways are getting wider and wider. Due to the large scale, a certain industrial chain has been formed, so that the construction cost of expressways has not increased due to the increase in labor costs, but the overall cost has dropped a lot.
Although the construction of expressways has only lasted for more than two years, the mileage has reached 30,000 kilometers, and a usable expressway network has been initially built.
Now the country is vigorously developing infrastructure again. Although it is mainly focused on railway transportation, the construction of rural roads is also a responsibility that the country must bear, which echoes the infrastructure construction proposed this time.
As long as the country does a good job in local infrastructure construction, then Zhao Yilai can be responsible for economic improvement, and Baiwei Food Company can cooperate with local farmers to develop a characteristic agricultural economy.
Xinhui Energy Company can cooperate with local farmers to build a photovoltaic power generation industry. Xinhui Energy Company will provide photovoltaic power generation facilities, and local farmers will be responsible for the management of the equipment, and a certain proportion of the power generation output will be divided.
Of course, it would be better if the government subsidizes farmers and allows them to purchase these photovoltaic power generation facilities. Xinhui Agriculture can not only make some money on photovoltaic power generation equipment, but also does not need to have too many responsibilities.
However, judging from the current situation, it is difficult for either the central government or local governments to spend a large amount of money to carry out this work. The domestic photovoltaic power generation industry has not encountered special difficulties. The plan to be fully funded by the government is Very difficult to pass.
So now it is a compromise plan. The government will provide some funds for poor households, and Xinhui Energy will provide equipment, and both will occupy a certain share of the profits.
If it can be implemented, it will not only increase the proportion of clean energy power generation in my country, but also improve the income level of local poor people. It can also promote the development of my country's photovoltaic industry.
To be honest, Xinhui Energy is currently the only company engaged in the photovoltaic power generation industry. First, this company has a full set of photovoltaic industry patents and technologies. Second, it is difficult for other domestic companies to compete with this company in the power generation field.
Before, it was easy to say that power generation companies were basically state-owned enterprises, but since Xinhui Energy entered the domestic power generation field, the situation has changed dramatically. Xinhui Energy doubled my country's power generation capacity in the first year.
Although the power generation capacity did not double after that, the construction of power plants was basically based on the investment scale in the first year. In other words, the new power generation capacity reached 300 billion hours every year.
From 1982 to 1985, after four years of development, Xinhui Energy Company alone has achieved an annual power generation of 1.5 trillion kilowatt-hours for the country.
Due to the crazy construction of power plants by Xinhui Energy Company, the consequence is that the number of power generated by state-owned enterprises obviously cannot keep up, and the country also consciously invests more funds in the construction of power grids.
The result is that state-owned power generation companies have basically not developed much, while the power generation of New Huineng Energy Company accounts for 80% of the total domestic power generation.
Although power generation has grown rapidly in recent years, and most cities in the country have achieved round-the-clock power supply, some rural areas and counties in the country are still unable to supply sufficient power.
Because my country's economy has continued to develop in recent years, most of the new power generation has been used by industrial enterprises. It seems that the annual power generation is large, but there is not much power left for rural residents' daily needs.
This cooperation with the state to carry out photovoltaic poverty alleviation work is the result of profits for three parties. Installing a set of photovoltaic power generation equipment can continue to operate for more than 20 years, allowing these poor families to obtain continuous income for more than 20 years.
In addition to Baiwei Food Company and Xinhui Energy Company, his subsidiary Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company will also build some cooperation demonstration areas based on local climate conditions and agricultural characteristics to plant cash crops.
Don't underestimate the scale and value of cash crops. Not to mention other things, Zhao Yi's textile companies, food companies, chemical companies and personal care companies all need a lot of special economic plant raw materials, and the scale of demand is growing explosively every year. .
Especially for Yadai Personal Care Company, since many raw materials come from herbal plants, and even some plants are new varieties modified through genetic technology, not only does the demand vary, but the volume will also be very large in the future.
If these are still just supporting the agricultural industry in poor areas, then the Shangtong Trading Company directly supports local industry and commerce.
Regardless of the name, it seems that Shangtong Trading Company only conducts product trading business. In fact, this company also has many production-oriented enterprises. However, because the scale of each enterprise is small, it is not listed separately.
A company that cannot produce lighters needs to keep talking openly about it. Although the scale of this kind of company may seem large to the outside world, among Zhao Yi's companies, it is not worth mentioning.
There are many types of companies under Shangtong Trading Company, some of which they have invested in and become major shareholders, and some of which were established by themselves to provide products for their own retail companies.
As the retail channels of Shangtong Trading Company continue to develop and expand, such enterprises are becoming more and more numerous in terms of scale and quantity.
If it were not for the full data chain intelligent management model, Shangtong Trading Company would really not be able to control the production and development of so many of its companies.
Moreover, the characteristics of these products are very obvious. They are basically labor-intensive and have low technical content. Of course, in Zhao Yi's view, there are no so-called low-end products, only low-end production technologies.
These low-tech products can actually be produced using very high production technology, but there is currently no need to do so.
Zhao Yi's current important task is to provide enough jobs. As long as he can still have a good profit margin, he will insist on using manual labor to complete production work until the profit margin is swallowed up, and then install more advanced production equipment.
Not to mention other things, a trading company only needs to arrange one such industry in a poor county. As long as the scale is achieved, the formation of an industrial cluster will bring huge economic development to the local area.
Of course, now economically poor areas are all areas with inconvenient transportation, and transportation costs are very high, so transportation costs need to be reduced. This requires the state and Zhao Yi to make overall arrangements and try to reduce this cost as much as possible.
Shangtong Trading Company is now building a logistics network across the country. Once this is completed, logistics costs will be greatly reduced.
At the same time, it will be profitable to make some concessions on highways and railway transportation, and allow these enterprises to develop in the central and western regions, and there is still great development prospect.
In the past, Shangtong Trading Company's main products were sold abroad. It was necessary for production companies to be located on the coast or in places with convenient transportation. Currently, they have no plans to change this strategy.
But now the domestic economy is developing well, and trading companies are also actively deploying domestic retail channel terminals. Products produced by companies in the central and western regions can fully supply the domestic commodity market.
Another production-oriented enterprise is Polaris Company. Although it has many high-end products, it also has many industries with low technical content. For example, the small home appliance industry, which is currently undergoing vigorous development, is not high-tech and focuses on creativity.
These industries can move slightly inland and do not necessarily need to carry out production in economically developed coastal areas.
Moreover, the state also controls a large number of state-owned enterprises. Some state-owned enterprises are more sensitive to location advantages, but there are also many state-owned enterprises that are not sensitive to location advantages. These enterprises can also build some industries in the central and western regions.
The government provides poverty alleviation policies and invests in necessary infrastructure, while Zhao Yi mobilizes his own economic and industrial cooperation. The two can be said to complement each other.
Although the current effects have not yet appeared, Zhao Yi estimates that in the next one to two years, the situation will be greatly improved, and the national economic development will be much more balanced. (End of chapter)
