After a little communication, Shen Zhongfeng and Zhang Zhenjie rushed to Liu Fei's office together, and Guo Dongbao, director of the Department of Education, also rushed to Liu Fei's office before them.
Now Shen Zhongfeng is much more respectful in front of Liu Fei than before, because in the past, although Shen Zhongfeng knew that he was the second-in-command and Liu Fei was the first-in-command, but because he basically controlled the situation of the Standing Committee, he never understood it in his heart.
Liu Fei regards Liu Fei as the number one, and even many of his direct subordinates basically do not regard Liu Fei as the number one. Most of the work is reported to Shen Zhongfeng first, and then to Liu Fei.
When many people faced Liu Fei, although they were respectful on the surface, in private they were completely obedient to Liu Fei's instructions, but it is different now. Because Shen Zhongfeng's right arm has been chopped off, Shen Zhongfeng
He has become much more low-key in his actions, so even his subordinates have to be more cautious when doing things. Some people who are not firm in their stance have even begun to fall to other camps.
After Shen Zhongfeng, Zhang Zhenjie, and Guo Dongbao sat firmly on one side of the sofa, Liu Fei stepped out of his seat and sat opposite them. Then his face immediately darkened, and he said coldly: "Comrade Guo Dongbao
, I remember that at the last education system conference, you boasted and talked about a lot of the work achievements of the education system. So today I want to ask you, regarding the current work of the education system in Canglan Province, if it is rated on a 100-point scale
In terms of evaluation, how would you rate the Department of Education? What do you think are not being done well and need to be improved?"
"Secretary Liu, our education system has made great progress over the years. Although our province's economic situation is average, our province's enrollment rate has improved from the 8th from the bottom to the 18th in the country. The improvement is considerable.
Obviously..." Guo Dongbao did not answer Liu Fei's question directly, but continued to repeat the same old tune, wanting to emphasize his achievements first.
When Liu Fei heard this, he immediately interrupted Guo Dongbao's conversation and said: "Comrade Guo Dongbao, I didn't call you here today to listen to you, Lao Wang, to brag about himself. Please answer the two questions I just asked directly and don't talk to me.
Others.”
Guo Dongbao suddenly became a little uneasy, because in the last meeting, Liu Fei basically dealt with business matters and did not ask any special questions, but this time he was so serious. Could Liu Fei want to punish me? Thinking of this, Guo Dongbao's
My forehead immediately started to sweat.
"What? Have you forgotten the question I asked you just now? Why are you nervous?" Liu Fei said with a serious face.
At this moment, not only Liu Fei was dissatisfied with Guo Dongbao, but Zhang Zhenjie, the deputy governor in charge, was also a little dissatisfied, because he was the deputy governor in charge, and if Guo Dongbao was severely criticized by Liu Fei, his face would be tarnished.
Therefore, he immediately said coldly: "Guo Dongbao, what's the matter with you? Don't you know the situation of the education system yourself?"
"Understood, understood." Guo Dongbao nodded quickly, and then said: "Secretary Liu, if you ask me to rate the education system, I think it can be rated 85 points."
Liu Fei said calmly: "Oh? 85 points, this score is not low. It seems that you are very confident in your education system. What about the next question?"
At this time, because Zhang Zhenjie made such a mistake, Guo Dongbao calmed down, because he also saw that Liu Fei's intention towards him today was quite obvious, so he said in a deep voice: "Secretary Liu, the work of our Provincial Department of Education
We have indeed made great progress in the past few days, so I can confidently give us a score of 85. As for your second question, I think our Department of Education has done a good job in optimizing the quality of teachers and optimizing teaching resources.
It is not enough, and we need to continue to work hard, and there is still a lack of typical advanced education units. However, in this regard, our Department of Education is preparing to focus on establishing one or two advanced teaching pilots in the second half of the year to achieve a point-to-point effect."
Liu Fei couldn't help but frown after hearing this: "Oh? Are these the only questions?"
Guo Dongbao said with certainty: "Yes, these are the main problems. Of course, there must be other problems as well. We will discover them during our work and make corrections in time."
After Liu Fei listened, he did not continue to ask Guo Dongbao questions. Instead, he looked at Zhang Zhenjie with a stern face and said: "Vice Governor Zhang, you are in charge of education. Please tell me, now the Canglan Provincial Department of Education is in charge of education.
What are the more serious problems at work?”
Hearing Liu Fei's question, Zhang Zhenjie felt a little uneasy, because he believed that since Liu Fei had called Shen Zhongfeng over, it meant that Liu Fei would never do it without purpose, which fully demonstrated that the education system must exist
It is a more serious issue, otherwise Liu Fei would not have held this meeting."
However, Zhang Zhenjie also trusted Guo Dongbao, and usually listened to Guo Dongbao's reports on education work. Therefore, his understanding was not much deeper than Guo Dongbao's. Therefore, after Zhang Zhenjie hesitated for a moment, he still said: "Secretary Liu, I still prefer
I agree with Comrade Guo Dongbao’s opinion. I think the most important issue in our Canglan Province at present is optimizing the quality of teachers and optimizing the allocation of teaching resources. This is the main gap between our Canglan Province and provinces with more developed education. I think that we
The province's next step should be to increase investment in these two aspects, continue to introduce high-quality teachers, and strengthen investment in education."
After Liu Fei heard Zhang Zhenjie's answer, his face became even more gloomy. From the beginning to the end, Shen Zhongfeng had been watching with cold eyes. Judging from Liu Fei's performance now, he had already seen it. It was obvious that Liu Fei's answer to Zhang Zhenjie and Guo Dongbao was
Very dissatisfied. Thinking of this, Shen Zhongfeng began to wonder, what is the purpose of Liu Fei's meeting today? Why did Liu Fei ask about the problems in the education system at this time. Suddenly, the back of Shen Zhongfeng's head
The information that He Jianping had provided to him before flashed through. According to the information He Jianping provided, Liu Fei rushed to Tangmeng City by car and got off the highway, then went straight to Xishan County, and Xishan County is also a poverty-stricken county.
, and now, Liu Fei mentioned the issue of education again, connecting the two aspects, and a picture immediately emerged in Shen Zhongfeng's mind, that is, Liu Fei inspected the education aspect of Xishan County privately, and at this time, he immediately
Think about it from his perspective and wonder what would you inspect if you were in Liu Fei's position?
At this time, Liu Fei looked at Shen Zhongfeng with an ugly face and said: "Governor Shen, you are the governor, what problems do you think there are in the education system of our Canglan Province?"
Shen Zhongfeng pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Secretary Liu, I think the gap between our Canglan Province and other cities across the country in normal urban education is not too big, and the problem is not very serious. However, considering Our Canglan Province has more mountainous areas and more poverty-stricken areas, so I think the main problem in our Canglan Province is that there are relatively big problems in rural education. This is a problem that we need to study and solve."
Hearing Shen Zhongfeng's answer, Liu Fei's expression softened a little, and he had to take a high look at Shen Zhongfeng in his heart. In any case, Shen Zhongfeng was able to think of going with him many times, which shows that Shen Zhongfeng can go with him. The provincial governor was still doing his work seriously in many cases, so Liu Fei nodded and said: "Well, Comrade Shen Zhongfeng still stands from a relatively high angle. You are right. The main problems existing in our Canglan Province at this stage are The problem is rural education. Comrade Zhang Zhenjie and Comrade Guo Dongbao, I hope that in your future work, you will not always focus all your attention on the education of urban children, but focus more on rural education. Put it aside, after all, the rural population accounts for the majority of the population in our country, and the proportion of rural students also accounts for a relatively large share of the proportion of students in the country. How to ensure that the largest rural population receives corresponding investment? This is not only a problem in your education system, but also a problem that you should reflect on. A few days ago, I went to many rural areas in Tangmeng City, Yueshan City, and Dongping City to conduct research and found many problems. Today, let’s talk about these issues. Governor Shen, tell me, in your opinion, what are the problems in rural education in Canglan Province?”
Shen Zhongfeng has indeed put some effort into this aspect. Comparing himself with Liu Fei to work overtime every day is not for nothing, so after Liu Fei finished speaking, he immediately said in a deep voice: "According to my research, over the years, although We have done a lot of work, and although the rural education situation in Canglan Province has been significantly improved, there are still many problems. In general, the overall development level of rural education in Canglan Province is low, and there is a huge gap with urban and rural education. Difference. There are three main problems:
First, low investment and shortage of funds are the primary problems faced in the development of rural education. Due to the shortage of funds, the existing school conditions for rural education can only meet the basic needs of subject teaching, which is far from the requirements for comprehensively promoting quality education. Rural areas It is an indisputable fact that teachers in primary and secondary schools have low academic qualifications, teachers’ salaries cannot be guaranteed, school teaching facilities are crude, and basic teaching equipment is insufficient. These practical problems have seriously affected the quality of rural education.
Second, the current situation of the rural teaching staff is worrying. First, the teaching staff is unstable and the loss of rural teachers is serious. Due to the generally low salary of teachers in rural areas, some areas cannot even guarantee teachers’ salaries. In addition, they lack further education and In order to provide opportunities for professional development, rural teachers have also joined the tide of talent flow. This has made the already weak rural education even worse. Secondly, the professionalization level of rural primary and secondary school teachers is low. Due to the poor working environment of rural education, low teacher salary and lack of professional skills There is little training, and many key young and middle-aged teachers have flowed to cities and economically developed areas. Thirdly, teachers in rural primary and secondary schools are aging seriously. Due to historical reasons and current reality, rural teachers, especially primary and secondary school teachers, are mostly old teachers from the past. The composition of the teaching team, which includes older people, lower education levels, physical deviations and less truly beneficial professional training, seriously restricts the development of rural education.
Third, the rural education structure is unreasonable and education is divorced from the reality of rural society. Due to constraints from social, economic, political, ideological and other factors, rural education has formed a single full-time ordinary school education structure, neglecting various forms of vocational education. and adult education. However, the content and subject setting of rural education are divorced from rural reality. Graduates who receive education lack actual production capacity after returning, and talent training is not suitable for rural economic and social development. At present, rural talents present the "three minors" "Characteristics: There are few intermediate and senior talents, few professional and technical talents, and few talents who directly serve "agriculture, rural areas and farmers". There is no sound and effective rural education and science and technology training system, and the methods, content and scale of vocational education and adult education are relatively weak. , there is a lack of practical base for cultivating professional and technical talents that adapt to rural economic and social development. The incompatibility between rural education and rural economic and social development seriously limits the long-term development of rural education itself."
After listening to Shen Zhongfeng's three-point analysis, Liu Fei nodded vigorously and said: "Well, Governor Shen said it very well. It seems that Governor Shen has put a lot of effort into the education work of our Canglan Province. But here I would like to add two points. I think that in addition to the three problems mentioned by Governor Shen, there are two problems that exist in rural education in Canglan Province that are worthy of being brought to the attention of our Canglan Provincial Committee and Provincial Committee. The government attaches great importance to it. The first point I want to add is that the income level of farmers in Canglan Province is currently low and the education burden is too heavy. There is a clear gap between urban and rural areas in China in terms of economic development level and residents' income. According to statistical data, Our country's current income of urban residents is 2 to 3 times that of rural residents. Rural residents have low income and have many children, so they have a heavier burden on education funds than urban residents. Rural residents have a weaker ability to pay, coupled with an excessive education burden. , reducing the effective demand for education in rural areas, leaving rural education at a lower level. The second point is that the concept of rural education is backward. Rural areas generally believe that educational investment is consumption, while the lack of education investment is production input, which is new The concept of economic growth point; the belief that education is simply to impart knowledge, but lacks the concept that education is responsible for the tasks of knowledge innovation, technological innovation and talent innovation. These backward and outdated educational concepts have restricted the reform and development of rural education. Therefore, it is It is because of the existence of these five problems that it has seriously affected the improvement and development of education in Canglan Province. I think we need to solve these problems step by step, and just a few days ago I went to Tangmeng City During the research in Yueshan City and Dongping City, we found that many primary schools do not even have a decent school. As for the most basic teaching equipment such as computers and projectors, they do not exist. There are even many schools where students still need to go to school. I bring my own desks, but even in those poor areas, some township cadres can spend three to four hundred yuan a meal, but they keep saying that they have no money to replace some desks for the students. I am very puzzled. We Is this or that problem caused by poverty or the inaction of some of our cadres?" After speaking, Liu Fei slammed the table.
