The Story of Qingfeng Village

Chapter 244
This is the second meeting held in the village, and it is about the withdrawal of village primary schools and the merger of schools. This time, the principals and some teachers of each school participated in the meeting.President Wang Liu Jianguo and Zhu Xia both attended the meeting.

The main spirit conveyed at the meeting was to withdraw the village and merge the school.

Director Shen of the Education Committee who conveyed the spirit of the meeting turned out to be a classmate of Wang Chunsheng's normal school.

Everyone's reaction after listening to it was mixed.

Some excited, some silent.

Zhu Xia glanced at Principal Wang. The village committee didn't make a statement that night. Today I'm afraid...

Sure enough, Principal Wang spoke up.

He said: "Director Shen, why are rural schools being withdrawn and merged?
Our Qingfeng Village has the conditions to run a village primary school. If it is well run, shouldn't it be combined? "

Director Shen: "Good question...

Very simple, three aspects, the source of students, the strength of teachers, and the school environment.

... I also stayed in the countryside. In the 80s and [-]s, a small village with less than a hundred households had a school, and there were fifteen or sixteen students in each grade. Now, the village school is still there, but there are fewer and fewer students. In this village, no child has been born for several years. Some people go out to work, start a family and start a business outside, and their children are also born outside, and they also go to school outside. How many of them go to school in the village primary school?Am I right?

Now that the number of students is decreasing, it is impossible to build a school with ten or eight students, right?

Before coming here, some comrades and I have done some research in Baima Town. Some schools only have two or three grades, and there are only a few students in a class. There are even village schools with only one student, and there are several villages nearby. There are no students at all.Is such a small village still necessary?

There are also schools that are seriously short of teachers, and it is normal for one or two teachers to take all the courses. How to run a school like this?The quality of education is certainly not guaranteed.Not to mention that some schools have been in disrepair for a long time, exposed to wind and rain, and dolls are worried when they sit in class.

Can such a small village not be withdrawn? "

Wang Chunsheng: "Director, I know that some village schools have no students, but our Qingfeng Village is different. We have a lot of students, so we can keep them, don't we need to withdraw and merge them?"

"Wang Chunsheng, President Wang, are there many students in your school? How many are there?"

Wang Chunsheng: "Our school now has five grades, with a total of a hundred and ten students."

"Look, there are only [-] students in a school. Is that a lot? Not much at all. With the development of the times, the distance between urban and rural areas is shrinking, and a large number of rural immigrants take root in cities and settle in cities. There will be fewer and fewer village schools.”

Someone said: "That's right, you have a lot of students in Qingfeng Village, it's not because the dolls from several nearby villages gather there to go to school, so the number of people going to school is also decreasing year by year, not to mention other villages, which have fewer students There is no need to waste resources anymore. I think everyone, as teachers, still hopes to work in a clean and beautiful environment, and students also hope to receive education like children in the city."

"Yes, yes..."

"Who doesn't want to feel better."

Director: "Especially those teachers who have been rooted for many years, who wouldn't want to change their environment?
Why couldn't the village primary school keep people in the past?

Isn't it because of poor conditions and a bad environment?
Therefore, it is imperative to withdraw the village and keep it small.

The focus of our future work is to build a school that integrates primary and secondary schools.If the economy is getting better, our education should not be left behind.Dolls should also enjoy good teaching conditions. "
