Chapter 212 Rural Education
Wang Xiangyun said to Guan Youshuang, "Teacher Guan, this is Director Li of our Education Bureau."
"Hello, Director Li." Guan Youshuang said politely.
"Teacher Guan, please sit down." Li Junfeng gestured for her to sit down with a smile.
Wang Xiangyun helped Guan Youshuang pour water.
Director Li got straight to the point: "Teacher Guan, the high school entrance exam results have come out and are being rechecked. Chenyang Middle School did very well this time. More than 300 students, nearly 100 of them scored over 600 points. This result is very rare. I asked around and heard that you were the one who led the students to review during this period, right?"
Guan Youshuang nodded.
"You are a self-taught person, which is amazing. Although I don't know why you interrupted your studies, the Education Bureau attaches great importance to your talent and hopes that you can be transferred to the teaching and research office in the county, so that you can achieve greater success in the field of education."
Guan Youshuang smiled slightly and said, "Director Li, I am very grateful to you and the Education Bureau for your recognition and trust in me. However, I am afraid I will disappoint you."
Li Junfeng was a little surprised and asked, "Why? The working environment and conditions in the teaching and research department are much better than those in rural middle schools, and you will have more opportunities to improve yourself."
Wang Xiangyun placed the water in front of Guan Youshuang and said, "Teacher Guan, this is a rare opportunity. You should think twice!"
"Thank you."
Li Junfeng continued, "Teacher Guan, the Education Bureau needs talented teachers like you to promote the development of education in the county. I sincerely hope you can join us."
"Director Li, I know the working environment of the teaching and research department is indeed very good, and I also understand that this is a rare opportunity. However, the embroidery factory has just been established, and there are still many things waiting for me to do."
"Embroidery factory?"
Wang Xiangyun explained: "Director Li, Teacher Guan built an embroidery factory in their village."
"So, you don't plan to develop in the field of education?"
Guan Youshuang nodded and said, "You can see that the weather has been dry in the past two years, and the harvests of farmers have been poor. Many of them have to go to other places to work. Not only is it hard, but they can't take care of their children. Children generally lack family education. It is based on this consideration that I built the embroidery factory."
"I understand what you mean, but you have a talent for education, and it would be a shame to give up like this. If you can continue to stay in the education industry, you will definitely achieve remarkable results."
"Director Li, I'm sorry to say that. I think the Education Bureau doesn't pay much attention to rural middle schools. Take Chenyang Middle School for example. The teachers are generally older, even though there are new teachers graduating from normal colleges every year."
"You are right. This is the case. Young people are unwilling to go to the countryside. Even if they go, they won't stay there for long. They would do anything to stay in the city."
"So what do you think is the reason why young teachers are reluctant to go to rural schools?"
"Working and living conditions in the countryside are indeed difficult. In some places there is no water. In addition, there are indeed more development opportunities in the city."
Guan Youshuang nodded and said, "Children in rural areas are no worse than those in cities, as can be seen from the results of this high school entrance examination.
But because you only value some schools like No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School, teachers in rural middle schools have become discouraged and do not teach seriously.
Another point is that some teachers come in through connections, and their abilities and attitudes are not good enough. "
"So what suggestions do you have, Mr. Guan?"
“First, we need to improve the treatment of rural teachers, not just their salaries, but also their living conditions, such as providing better dormitories and living facilities.
Secondly, we need to establish a fair and transparent recruitment and promotion mechanism. Through open recruitment, we can allow truly capable and enthusiastic young people to come in, and provide them with clear promotion channels so that they can see hope and a future.
Finally, we can establish an incentive mechanism, such as setting up a rural teacher award, to recognize teachers who have made outstanding contributions to rural education, set an example, and encourage more people to devote themselves to rural education.
Li Junfeng listened carefully and nodded frequently.
He had never heard any teacher make such suggestions to rural schools. Just as Guan Youshuang said, they did not attach importance to rural middle schools at all.
Can't blame him.
There are seven or eight rural middle schools in the entire Tong County, but the annual passing rate for the junior high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination is still lower than that of the No. 2 Middle School, not to mention the century-old No. 1 Middle School.
In order to retain students, these rural middle schools do not allow their students to apply for other schools. However, the score line of their own school is usually 70 to 80 points lower than that of No. 1 Middle School.
Even so, many students still fail to get into high school.
Of course, there is no point in passing the exam. You will just spend three more years in school.
Over the years, only a few students from these rural middle schools have been admitted to universities.
It's like a hopeless case of rubbish.
Over time, they simply stopped caring about them. Apart from giving them a few sets of test papers every year, they left them to fend for themselves the rest of the time.
But they didn't expect that in this year's high school entrance examination, a dark horse, "Chenyang Middle School", would emerge, shocking the entire Education Bureau.
If calculated based on the 600-point ratio, it is almost as good as No. Middle School.
Simply a miracle.
He even thought that the paper had been marked incorrectly, so he asked two teachers to review it again.
After confirming that everything was correct, he contacted Principal Chen of Chenyang Middle School, and only then did he learn about Guan Youshuang.
Principal Chen also said that Guan Youshuang is very capable. Not only is she knowledgeable, she is also good at teaching. In particular, she knows many effective learning methods that can enable children to truly understand every type of question.
He was very surprised, and immediately asked Wang Xiangyun from the Personnel Section of the Education Bureau to take time out to visit Xiaguan Youshuang. It happened that they were planning to set up a teaching and research department, and he wanted to invite her to join the teaching and research team of the Education Bureau.
At first, Guan Youshuang refused, and he thought she was pretentious and deliberately making some conditions.
But now it seems that this woman is really a person with great ambitions.
"Teacher Guan, your suggestions are very constructive. We will seriously consider them and gradually implement them. I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, rural education will definitely take on a brand new look."
Guan Youshuang nodded and said, "Okay, I hope so. I hope our rural education can get better and better under the leadership of Director Li."
It was almost noon when Guan Youshuang came out of the Education Bureau. She wanted to find Gu Errong to have a meal together and discuss Gu Xiaoyun's part-time job.

noon.
County Water Resources and Hydropower Bureau.
Xie Yuanhang closed the documents, threw the pen on the table, and said, "Let's go and have dinner."
"Where to eat?"
"Let's go to the cafeteria today. If you go outside, what if your crazy mother-in-law hasn't gone home yet and comes to bother you again?"
Gu Errong got a headache whenever Zhang Caihe was mentioned. This woman made a big scene at the Water Conservancy Bureau yesterday. If Director Liu hadn't trusted him and asked the security guards to kick that crazy woman out, who knows what would have happened.
But even so, this matter was still widely circulated in the Water Conservancy and Hydropower Bureau.
"Okay, let's go to the cafeteria."
As soon as the two walked to the door, the landline phone rang.
