Rebirth Starts From 2006

After exiting the cafeteria and passing through the passage next to the classroom, there is a house built of mud, stones and wood at the back, which is very much in the architectural style of the Yi people.

The house is not big, only two or three meters high, about eight meters long, and about five or six meters deep. It is about ten meters away from the classroom in front.

There is a double door on the front of the house and four closed windows. It is dark inside and it is difficult to see what is there.

Through the windows covered with plastic film, I could faintly hear the whispers of some children in the house, but it soon became quiet again.

Tao Tao stood in front of the house, turned around and whispered,

"Mr. Chen, this is the dormitory for the 113 children in the school."

"One hundred and thirteen?"

Chen Yang took a look at the dormitory first. This house didn't look like it could accommodate more than a hundred people.

Then he calculated silently, looked at her and asked, "So, there are less than twenty people in one grade?"

Complete primary school is a product of the previous education system and is compared to junior primary school.

In the past, when educational resources were scarce, primary schools were divided into three grades.

The lowest is the teaching point for only the first and second grade, followed by the junior elementary school including the first to fourth grade, and the highest is the complete elementary school including the fifth, sixth grade, or up to the fifth grade, that is, the "senior elementary school" stage. primary school,

Complete primary schools are also primary schools in the conventional sense as everyone currently understands them.

However, in the early years, some complete primary schools also opened preschool classes, which also included the kindergarten stage.

However, primary schools that open preschools are generally divided into two situations. One is backed by an employer and has a lot of resources to spend, and the other is to collect tuition fees.

After all, you had to pay to go to primary school in the past. If you open an extra preschool, you can charge more.

I've gone too far, let's bring it back.

This is Harlow Village Primary School, which means there are six complete grades.

But there are less than 120 people in the entire school. Calculated, there are indeed not even 20 people in one grade.

Hearing Chen Yang's words, Lu Jiannan shook his head slightly and corrected, "There are not twenty people in one grade. The most people we have here are in the first grade, with more than forty people, and the least in the sixth grade, there are only five people.

Moreover, these 113 classmates come from 17 villages within tens of kilometers nearby.

Some students are too far away and are unwilling to come to study. Otherwise, there should be more than two hundred students in this school, or even more! "

More?

Chen Yang raised his head and breathed out,

In this way, the attrition rate can be 50%.

This is calculated based on the number of students who should be enrolled. If you include those who have never entered the school for a day, it will definitely be more.

Fu Ting also spoke at this time, "There are the most students in the first grade. It's because Brother Lu visited every village and talked with the parents that he attracted so many students. Otherwise, there might not even be half."

Lu Jiannan smiled bitterly and waved his hands, but did not say a word.

Tao Tao rolled her eyes slightly, then pushed open the door of the dormitory, picked up a rattle on the table at the door, rang it hard, and shouted loudly,

"Get up and get ready for class."

Almost instantly, the dormitory, which had been very quiet just now, seemed to come alive immediately, with various sounds ringing inside.

There was the squeaking sound of the wooden frame shaking, the sound of calling the companions to get up, the tapping of shoes, and the laughter among the companions.

Various voices merged into one, and then, people came out one after another.

When the dormitory door opened, Lu Jiannan and Fu Ting suddenly remembered something and looked at Chen Yang slightly nervously. They saw his brows slightly wrinkled, but he quickly relaxed and looked at the crowds of people with a smile. The students who came out also had smiles on their faces.

The two turned around, their eyes met, and they couldn't help but smile.

When the door opened just now, there was obviously a sour smell coming out. Even if they were used to it, they couldn't help but hold their breath.

It was also because they had been chatting about things and forgot to remind Chen Yang. By the time he remembered it, it was already too late.

However, this boss Chen is quite good.

It should be said that he and his wife were both pretty good. When they suddenly smelled this sour smell, they didn't even show any disgust at all.

It’s really good!

Chen Yang didn't notice the expressions of the two people at all. At this time, his and Zou Rong's eyes were all on these children.

Most of the boys have short hair and wear traditional Yi clothes in blue and black, while the girls wear pigtails, some with only two rubber bands. A few also wear headdresses, and most of the clothes are red and blue.

Of course, blue and black colors similar to those for boys are also indispensable.

But regardless of whether they are boys or girls, their faces are a bit dirty.

But they didn't seem to care at all. They rushed out of the dormitory one by one. Some ran directly in front of everyone, and some waved hello to the three teachers without any intention of stopping.

Even if they saw outsiders like Chen Yang, they only looked at them curiously and did not stop to watch.

Children ran past one by one. Finally, a few obviously older students came out of the dormitory. They looked at Chen Yang and the others with a slightly reserved look, then waved to the three teachers, and then quickly Run towards the classroom.

After everyone left, Lu Jiannan walked up to Chen Yang and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, it's class time now. Fu Ting and I have to go teach everyone. I'll let Tao Tao take you. Let’s take a tour.”

"it's okay no problem,"

Chen Yang quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "You are busy with your business, don't worry about me."

Lu Jiannan and Fu Ting smiled at them, nodded, and left quickly.

After they walked away, Zou Rong asked Tao Tao, "There are six grades here, but only three teachers. How can we teach them?"

"Um,"

Tao Tao rolled her eyes slightly, then pointed to the classroom, "You will know if you follow me."

Zou Rong and Chen Yang looked at each other and followed Tao Tao towards the classroom.

However, what they went to was not the front of the classroom, but the back, which was very close at hand.

From the window on the back, you can clearly see the scene in the classroom,

Tao Tao pointed to a classroom at the far end and said, "Here are the first-grade students, which is also the class with the largest number of students. There are forty-seven people in total. They are studying in this classroom.

This classroom is likely to be their classroom from now until sixth grade. "

Zou Rong turned to look at her and asked, "Why?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she blushed and said quickly, "I understand, because there are the most people in this grade, it is not convenient to switch classrooms with people of other ages."

"Right, that is it,"

Tao Tao forced out a smile and nodded lightly.

At this time, Chen Yang suddenly pointed to a few people in the back row of the classroom and asked, "Are those first-year classmates too?"

Tao Tao glanced in the direction of his finger, nodded and said, "Yes, but their eldest is already thirteen years old. Since he has never read a book, he has to start learning from the first grade."

"Thirteen?"

Zou Rong opened her mouth in surprise, "Why can't you study at such an old age?"

Tao Tao was silent for a rare moment. Just when Zou Rong thought she had said something wrong, she said softly,

“Their village is very remote, hidden in the mountains, and it’s not easy to get out.

In the past, no matter how remote the village was, there would always be a teaching center so that children could study for a year or two.

But in 2001, the teaching site in their village was cancelled, and that group of children never went to school again. "

Zou Rong asked in confusion, "Why should it be revoked?"

"Well,"

Tao Tao pursed her lips and looked at her. She raised her hand to indicate that she should go further away. After leaving the classroom, she said softly, "In 2001, the higher-ups issued the 'Decision on the Reform and Development of Basic Education.' stipulated in

Local governments are required to adjust the layout of rural compulsory education schools according to local conditions, and rationally plan and adjust the school layout in accordance with the principles of nearby primary schools, relatively concentrated junior high schools, and optimized allocation of educational resources.

Since that time, many rural teaching sites in remote areas have been cancelled. "

Zou Rong opened her mouth wide, not knowing what to say.

Chen Yang pondered for two seconds and then suddenly said, "Withdraw the points and merge them together!"

He remembered that Jimu Ziri had just introduced that this school accepted students from more than a dozen nearby villages, and it should have started from that time.

"Yes, we just need to withdraw sites and merge schools together,"

Tao Tao nodded and continued, "The original document also said that rural primary schools and teaching points should be appropriately merged on the premise of making it convenient for students to enroll nearby. Necessary teaching points should still be retained in areas with inconvenient transportation to prevent the layout of Adjustments cause students to drop out of school,

However, due to insufficient funds and other reasons, many places still choose to merge schools on a large scale and cancel many teaching points.

Brother Lu showed me a piece of data. Eight years ago, the number of primary schools in the country was more than 550,000. By 2001, there were only more than 490,000. Suddenly, there were more than 60,000 primary schools. and teaching points,

From then on, the number became smaller and smaller year by year.

In 2002, it was 450,000. By 2004, it had dropped below 400,000. By last year, it was only 320,000.

This year’s data hasn’t been released yet, but if you can save 300,000, that’s pretty good! "

In eight years, nearly half of the number of primary schools has been reduced.

Chen Yang put his hands on his hips and raised his head, not knowing what to say.

After a pause, Tao Tao smiled helplessly again,

"Actually, I can't say whether this is right or wrong, because some teaching points do have only a few students. Just because of those few students, a teacher must be arranged there, and the school's fixed facilities must also be maintained. It is true that It's a big investment,

After merging schools, the money invested there will be saved, and the remaining schools will have more funds,"

As he spoke, he turned around and looked around, "Just like here, if it weren't for the merger of schools, the county might not be able to fund these bricks and tiles, the canteen, and even this dormitory.

This can be regarded as a choice. "

Looking at Tao Tao who was obviously in a low mood, Zou Rong didn't know what to say.

Of course, this is the truth when it comes to making choices.

However, those who are abandoned are just like the students in the last row of this first-grade classroom.

At the age of thirteen, at the age when normal children go to junior high school, they have to sit in the same classroom as five or six-year-old children.

How embarrassing!

"Um,"

Tao Tao suddenly sniffed, raised her head and smiled, "I'll show you the other two classrooms."

As he said that, he walked towards the middle classroom.

When Chen Yang approached the window, he saw that the seats inside were divided into two rows, and they sat at opposite ends of the classroom.

Tao Tao explained, "The students here are the second and third grade students. The number of students in these two grades is about the same, so they are all arranged in the same classroom, and they are exactly half on each side.

Fu Ting is in charge of grades one, two, and three, and Brother Lu is in charge of grades four, five, and six, because I have no actual teaching experience and am still studying with Fu Ting."

She said and turned around with a smile, "It's not like this in other teaching centers. People have to start their work when they arrive. It's also because there are two teachers here that they let me study for a while.

However, Sister Ting said that I am progressing very quickly and I will be able to take classes alone next month. "

Chen Yang forced out a smile and gave a thumbs up, "Come on!"

"Um,"

Tao Tao clenched her fists and expressed her determination before leading them forward.

"In this classroom, there are students from grades 4, 5 and 6. Half of them are in grade 4 and half are in grade 5. The students next to grade 5 are in grade 6.

They were the fewest and had mastered most of the knowledge, so Brother Lu asked them to learn on their own. If they had anything they didn’t understand, just ask him. "

Only then did Zou Rong ask what she had been holding back for a long time, "Why are there so few people in the sixth grade and there should be more in the graduating class?!"

Tao Tao pouted and said helplessly, "That's because many students have just learned to read and read the most basic mathematics before they reach the graduation class and refuse to read any more."

As he spoke, he looked inside the classroom, where Lu Jiannan was teaching his classmates, as well as the sixth-grade students, "These graduating class students are all planning to take the junior high school entrance examination.

However, due to the limited educational resources in the county, it is unknown whether they can pass the exam, or which school they will go to.

Brother Lu just tried his best to train them and hoped that they could go to school smoothly. "

Zou Rong opened her mouth to ask if junior high school should be a direct transfer, but thinking of everything in front of her and the conditions here, she fell silent again.

If it weren't for lack of resources, who would be willing to do this? !

"Um,"

Tao Tao pursed her lips and smiled, clapped her hands pretending to be relaxed and said, "Well, actually there are only two teachers in class. Of course, there will soon be three. Therefore, three teachers can also teach students in the sixth grade. Oh."

Zou Rong and Chen Yang forced smiles on their faces to agree with her unfunny joke.

After a pause, Tao Tao led them to the dormitory again, "Hey, Mr. Chen, let me show you the dormitories of my classmates!"

Chen Yang took Zou Rong's hand, looked at her and smiled softly,

Zou Rong also smiled back,

They all knew that there would definitely be some blood today.

However, for Boss Chen’s net worth, this bit of blood is definitely nothing.

The two shook their heads slightly and walked towards the dormitory.
