The Prime Minister looked at the old man with a look on his face and said bluntly: "Mr. He, you have seen and heard what happened just now, and there are no outsiders here, so I will just tell you. Now, because of the environment and life For reasons such as this, the physical fitness of our country's young generation is generally more than a little bit worse than that of the younger generation in European and American countries. If this continues, it will be extremely fatal to the reproduction of our Chinese nation."
After all, the body is the capital of revolution.
"In view of this, the country is preparing to launch a national strategic plan." The Prime Minister said seriously.
Sure enough, He Zhenzhong smiled bitterly, having guessed that this would be the case.
The old man was smiling all over his face. What old man doesn’t want to have children and grandchildren in groups? Of course, the more the better.
After thinking for a while, He Zhenzhong finally spoke and said in a deep voice: "Chief, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not."
"explain."
He Zhenzhong took a deep breath and then spoke, "No matter how good your health is since childhood, the key lies in training the day after tomorrow. This can be seen from the fact that our physical fitness is not inferior to that of any other country's soldiers, otherwise , no matter how good your innate conditions are, it will be useless if you don’t work hard later.”
"It's always good to have a good foundation." The Prime Minister sighed.
"Of course." He Zhenzhong also nodded and continued: "But this process is too long. For now, I think it is most important to carry out some educational reforms."
The Prime Minister frowned slightly. China's education system is indeed a problem, but it involves too many things. It has already formed a vicious circle, and has also formed deep-rooted ideas in the minds of parents.
"I do my homework every day until 11 or 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. I have to get up and go to school after 6 o'clock in the morning. It lasts all day. After class, I have to make up classes, and then I do my homework again. I finally look forward to having a class. Physical education class is always occupied inadvertently. If this happens over time, will your physical fitness improve?" He Zhenzhong spread his hands and said: "However, we have to admit that we only pay attention to transcripts and homework. So much, and having to go to bed so early in the morning, all that knowledge is just poured into the students’ minds, and they are not used at all in real life.”
The Prime Minister didn't say anything. These things have been on the Internet for a long time, and they understand it. However, since it exists, it exists for a reason. If it weren't for this kind of cramming education, 70% of the people would not have it when the country was just founded. In terms of literacy, it is impossible for China to develop to where it is today in a short period of time.
"I think we are now past the stage of pushing back the seedlings and cramming education. In the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, why did the Chinese nation suffer so much humiliation? The backwardness of weapons is one aspect, but the fundamental reason is that education has not kept up with the times. "Also, the proliferation of opium has made those soldiers physically weak, so how can we fight?" He Zhenzhong looked at the Prime Minister and said in a deep voice: "Now, our situation is very similar to that of the past. In the past two years, we have gradually changed the direction of science and technology. have caught up, but education is still lagging behind. In addition to homework and exams, such people cannot adapt to any emergencies and have no ability to deal with complex things. And the problem of physical fitness, as the chief also mentioned just now, is so serious that it is shocking It’s reached a point where it cannot be ignored.”
"So." He Zhenzhong paused and then said: "I think based on the current situation, we need to make comprehensive changes."
"Continue." The Prime Minister's face became more solemn than ever.
He Zhenzhong cleared his throat and then said: "The first thing is English. Of course it is necessary to learn it, but there is no need to put it in the first place. How many people will never be able to leave the country in their lifetime. Learning English is a waste of time. I can't think of anything else.
It’s useful. This is classified as a minor language and can only be learned by some people.”
"Besides, if China wants to go global, it must popularize Chinese. First of all, language and characters are the most important weapons to communicate with other nations." He Zhenzhong said in a deep voice: "If the language and characters are not accessible, how can we understand the history and customs of China?
Then we can't talk about assimilation. Now, we can vigorously carry out Chinese-style education in Indonesia and Vietnam, and copy the old education system. Although the cram-feeding education is not effective, it does have quick results.
"
Hearing this, the Prime Minister also nodded. Indeed, they have already considered this issue.
"Also, the old saying that if you study mathematics, physics and chemistry, you will not be afraid of traveling all over the world, this old saying cannot be put first." He Zhenzhong sighed and said: "Maybe it was the truth in that era, but now, I think it is better to make more friends.
Students have some common sense and skills in daily life. At present, apart from some old people in rural areas, the most easily deceived people are those with high education. Also, if a car has a flat tire, they can indeed calculate the force in it.
How old is it and what is the reason for the puncture? However, many people estimate that even changing a car tire is enough. This does not solve the fundamental problem of changing the tire at all. What is the use?"
After taking a breath, He Zhenzhong continued: "Of course, the most important thing is to carry out more courses to improve physical fitness, set up special basketball classes, football classes, etc., increase support for sports events, and at the same time, directly from the national level
Legislate to prohibit endless homework, exams, and make-up lessons. To find a job, rigid regulations such as a Level 2 Computer Certificate and a Level 4 English Certificate must be abolished. Those are useless. Get a Level 2 Certificate.
I guess even the network administrator of the Internet cafe doesn’t know as much about computers as I do.”
The Prime Minister was silent. After all, this matter is too big. After all, it is a century-old plan and education is the basis. One move affects the whole body. He cannot make a decision right away, and legislation is needed. This will definitely involve the whole of China.
What a shocking event.
He Zhenzhong was not in a hurry, just quietly waiting for the Prime Minister's reply.
