After the bank and other work efficiency problems were solved, Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, there is another livelihood issue before him!
That is the issue of schooling for the children of migrant workers!
These migrant workers include migrant workers, workers in factories, and workers in many other general industries.
The problem of children of this kind of migrant population going to school has always been a domestic problem.
In the past and present, compared to those developed first- and second-tier cities, even if you don’t own a house, you pay social security locally, or have lived for a certain period of time, etc., these developed cities have certain opportunities to give you, the children of migrant workers. Opportunities to attend school.
Not to mention high school, at least elementary school or junior high school can provide a school for you to study in!
Why can others provide it?
To put it bluntly, it means that people are financially wealthy!
People can build more schools to meet the educational needs of the children of these migrant workers.
In fact, there are two main reasons why children of migrant workers can go to school.
First, let these children no longer become left-behind children.
Secondly, it can be regarded as a kind of benefit and care for these migrant workers, and it can also provide relatively good teaching conditions for the children of these migrant workers!
…
In Zhuang Mingde's office, Qin Yi made a special visit.
"Mayor Qin, what do you want to discuss with me?" Zhuang Mingde asked curiously to Qin Yi who suddenly came to the door.
After getting along with each other for a period of time, he knew that although Qin Yi was vigorous and resolute in his work and was somewhat strong in economic development, judging from the current situation in all aspects, he was not the kind of mindless development, but one who paid attention to the bottom line. .
"It's like this. Some time ago, I listened to the voices of many local citizens on the mayor's hotline. Some of the migrant workers expressed their difficulties in their children's schooling. The construction and development of our Haitong City , we cannot do without these migrant workers!”
"In recent years, the industry in Haitong City has developed rapidly, especially in the eastern region. There has been an endless stream of companies coming here to invest and build factories. As more and more foreign companies come here, the number of migrant workers in our city, and even the counties and towns below this city, will increase." The number of people from other places coming to work has also increased sharply. For those who brought their families to work, the issue of their children going to school has become a problem!" Qin Yi said.
"Currently, there are some private schools in our city, but the tuition fees of these private schools are basically very expensive. The tuition fees of the lower ones are 8,000 yuan a semester, and the tuition fees of the better schools are more than 10,000 yuan. For many ordinary migrant workers, this is It’s simply unaffordable.”
"I have always believed that our economic development and the development of people's livelihood are complementary to each other, so I have such an immature idea, that is, can we expand the construction of schools? Give us, the children of migrant workers, a chance to go to school locally!" Qin Yi looked at Zhuang Mingde.
After hearing this, Zhuang Mingde pondered for a moment and said: "The issue of schooling for children of migrant workers has become a common and serious issue in China in recent years!"
"Actually, Mayor Qin, I quite agree with what you said about development and people's livelihood complementing each other! In terms of education, I think Sim Hai City in Hai Viet Province has done very well, ranking first in the country! What did the mayor of Sim Hai City say? Come on, here comes the Deep Sea people! He doesn’t just say it in words, but actually does it in terms of people’s livelihood. Let the migrant workers come to their Deep Sea City and feel that they are Deep Sea people!”
"Shenhai City is a city of immigrants. I remember that last year, more than 60% of its compulsory education degrees were provided to children who were not registered in Shenzhen, which solved the educational needs of children who moved with them in the largest immigrant city in the country. This level of courage is truly unparalleled. And! This also creates many migrant workers who are willing to take root in Shenhai City and are willing to work hard for the economic development of Shenhai City!"
"Like many cities, the population has increased rapidly in recent years as the permanent population has increased. However, enrollment policies generally give priority to students with local household registration, resulting in the children of migrant workers becoming a "crowded out" group. 80% Places are given priority to children of local residents.”
Listening to Zhuang Mingde's words, Qin Yi was slightly surprised. To be honest, today he looked at this Zhongyong secretary who was about to retire with admiration.
Look at the problem with a sharp point!
In fact, Qin Yi also agrees with Zhuang Mingde's views!
In fact, there is another point. Judging from the experience of previous lives, it is also forward-looking to expand and establish schools early.
That is, as the city develops, a large number of migrant workers suddenly come into the city, and the number of degrees suddenly increases exponentially. Then problems arise. In the past, when there was no money, I was reluctant to invest in building schools. But after a few years, suddenly there is money. , but there was no time to build schools and teaching buildings.
This situation may also happen in Haitong City!
Because the GDP growth rate of Haitong City is really abnormal!
"In fact, the higher-ups have also launched the Economic Work Conference on [Accelerating the Filling of Weak Links in People's Livelihood]. If we want to expand schools to improve people's livelihood issues, it can be regarded as a response to the policy!"
"But how to expand and whether we have the money to expand to solve this problem of people's livelihood is also very important! I remember that our finances in Haitong City are still relatively tight. We spent a lot of money to develop tourism before. Now we Is there still money left to build a large number of schools, or do we need to ask the finance department to make statistics on how much money can be spent on school expansion!"
Listening to Zhuang Mingde's words, Qin Yi smiled and said: "Secretary Zhuang is right, I think so too. I came here today to discuss this issue with Secretary Zhuang. First, I will look at my own conditions, and then investigate the specific situation. , and then we can discuss whether it can be done after making relevant detailed plans!”
Qin Yi's words made Zhuang Mingde relieved, as long as he didn't act recklessly!
This kind of consultation is the best!
"Actually, I think there are two problems in building schools in Haitong City: first, there are objective reasons such as funds and land issues; second, it is the positioning of public schools. Local residents in the city expect public schools to be A good school can even be compared with good aristocratic private schools. The standards and expectations of new schools are getting higher and higher, which actually inhibits the rapid increase in supply to a great extent!" Zhuang Mingde said solemnly.
"Secretary Zhuang, the question you mentioned is very to the point! In fact, the main reason why we are expanding the school now is to tilt the degree resources to those migrant workers! The positioning I advocate is to solve the school problem first, and then consider the 'high-end' positioning of the school. !”
