"Your idea is okay. After all, we are currently trying to solve the problem of enrolling children of migrant workers. Building high-quality schools is mainly to meet the needs of the city's citizens. It is impossible to do these two at the same time unless we are very rich. !" Zhuang Mingde nodded slightly.
After the two discussed it for a while, Qin Yi felt deeply that Secretary Zhuang Mingde still supported his idea.
If it were Li Fengguang from before, he would probably object!
"In this case, I will send someone to conduct an in-depth investigation and make a plan based on the current financial situation of our government." Qin Yidao.
"OK!"
…
Inside the office.
Lin Kai, director of the Education Bureau, sat opposite Qin Yi.
"After discussions between Secretary Zhuang and I, we had a detailed discussion on livelihood issues such as the current enrollment of children of migrant workers in the city. We intend to make efforts to solve the problem of education for the children of migrant workers! Next, there is an important issue The research task needs to be arranged by you! That is to conduct an in-depth investigation to see what the attitudes of these migrant workers are towards our government’s future expansion of the school, and what the school’s supporting requirements are! In addition, let’s do some statistics on our Haitong How big is the current gap in student status and degree in the city!" Qin Yi said.
"Okay mayor!" Lin Kai was slightly surprised.
Didn't he expect that the city would expand the school?
This is great news for the education and people's livelihood issues in Haitong City.
Especially in recent years, with the rapid economic development of Haitong City, more and more outsiders have poured into Haitong City, which has put great pressure on the degree of Haitong City.
In fact, he also proposed to increase the budget for education, but in the past two years, Haitong City's economy had just started, and the finances simply did not have that much money.
"There is one thing I need to remind you about this survey, that is, during the survey, I hope to have an in-depth look at the inner thoughts of the migrant workers. Our current finances in Haitong City are not very generous. Assuming that our newly built The supporting facilities of primary schools, junior high schools and other schools are not as good as other schools in the city. Can these migrant workers accept it?"
"Mayor, I understand what you mean!" Lin Kai nodded.
…
Next, after Lin Kai returned, he immediately arranged various research tasks, and even personally led a team to conduct in-depth research.
The production base of Modu Huayi Chemical New Materials Company.
Lunch break and meal time.
In the dining hall.
Lin Kai led one of the research teams here.
Currently, this chemical production base is the largest factory in Haitong City! Almost seven to eight thousand employees work here.
At this time, the officers of each education bureau were handing out survey flyers.
"Dear friends from the production base of Modu Huayi Chemical New Materials Company, we are the Municipal Education Bureau. We are here this time to make a research report on the local schooling of children of migrant workers. Please spend a few minutes. Time, fill out the form and hand it over to the head of your department..."
Lin Kai walked to a dining table at this time, where six men were eating. The youngest was probably in his twenties, and the oldest was in his forties.
"Brother, how old are you this year? Where is your hometown?" Lin Kai asked.
"I am 38 years old, from Sanjiang County, my hometown." The big man replied with a smile.
"It turns out he's from Jiangbei City next door! Are you married and have children?"
"Yes, we have two children, the older one is six years old and the younger one is three years old."
"Should the child be kept in his hometown or brought here to live? What does your wife do?" Lin Kai asked again.
"My father left early, and my mother had to help my eldest brother take care of several children. She was too busy at all, so the two of us took the children with us. My wife currently does some manual work in addition to taking care of the children. To subsidize the family income." The man replied.
"Then your six-year-old child will go to elementary school in the second half of this year or next year! What are your plans to return him to your hometown?"
"Hey, I might have to take my wife and children back to my hometown to study. The tuition fees of the private schools established are too expensive and we can't afford it." The man sighed.
"Suppose we build a batch of schools in Haitong City in the future. You only need to pay one year's social security and one year's rent certificate to enroll. Will you choose to study?" Lin Kai asked.
"Ah? If this is really the case, then I will definitely send my child to school! After all, it is better to keep the child with me for education."
"If the supporting facilities of these schools are not as good as other primary schools in the city, would you be willing to send them to study? For example, the school may not have a football field or a plastic court, and may only have one or two basketball courts with cement floors. There is no air conditioning, the equipment in some experimental classrooms may not be advanced enough, and even the computer room is of poor standard. In this case, will you send it there?"
"Why not send them? No matter how bad it is, can it still be worse than the primary school in our village and the primary school in the county? As long as the teachers teach seriously, I think it is not a big problem if the external conditions are worse! When I was a child, the classrooms leaked, and I won’t read it as usual.”
"Understood!"
This survey lasted for half a month before ending.
It took another week to compile certain data.
In Qin Yi's office.
"Mayor Qin, according to statistics, our Haitong City currently has a gap of 26,000 primary school places! There is a gap of 15,000 junior high school places. Among them, 91% of migrant workers in primary schools and 83% of migrant workers in junior high schools !”
After Qin Yi heard this, he sighed slightly: "The gap is quite big! This is still possible because the statistics are not complete enough."
"By the way, what are the migrant workers' requirements for the quality of the school's supporting facilities?" Qin Yi asked.
"Based on current statistics, 82% of migrant workers do not have high requirements for the quality of supporting facilities in schools. They feel that as long as they can go to a school, as long as it is a public school, most of them do not have high requirements! To put it bluntly, they are very happy to go to a public school and don’t care much about the poorer school facilities! It’s better than going to a private school!” Lin Kaihui reported.
"Okay, okay! It seems that for this group, finance is their biggest problem. If they study in a public school, they can accept it even if the school is poor!" Qin Yi nodded.
In fact, for many migrant workers, a group of workers who are temporarily unable to buy a house, being able to study in a public school is already a matter of prayer to God.
School is bad?
It’s better than not having to read at all, right?
