We are still having dinner with the guests in the evening. Tomorrow will be the last day of the meeting. We have contacted the travel agency and the guests will go to Peach Blossom Spring. The meetings in the past few days were arranged for half a day, and the other half day was for everyone to visit the surrounding attractions.
.
I have done some research and found out that everyone is quite satisfied with the arrangement of this meeting.
The satisfaction of the guests is secondary. The deputy minister of the Ministry of Education and the leaders of the National Admissions Office felt that our conference service was very good this time.
This was what the leaders said at dinner tonight. Governor He was very happy and praised me in front of several leaders from Beijing.
She didn’t say anything more about what happened this morning. I saw her make the call with my own eyes. Of course, the phone number she gave when I saw it might not be for the real estate market, but the old director told me, he said
Governor He takes great care of his subordinates. Therefore, I feel relatively relieved about this matter.
Now I really regret it. In fact, I know that the most fundamental reason for what I did at that time was the expansion of inner arrogance. Because I am the director of the provincial recruitment office and a leading cadre at the deputy department level, I feel that I am being ignored by those below.
It is simply a form of contempt for oneself.
I look low-key on the outside, but I am very proud on the inside. This is the most fundamental reason.
During dinner, I was very anxious, because Governor He had been chatting and laughing with several leaders from Beijing, and it seemed that the fun was about to end. I was thinking in my heart: If it can't be over by 8:30, then I will
Find a reason to leave first.
In fact, I know that even if I find any reason, it is not appropriate to speak to Governor He. The only way is to hope that today's dinner can end early.
However, I don’t know what happened to the deputy minister today. He was very chatty and kept talking to Governor He about education issues. What’s even more annoying is that Director Leng and Secretary Luo were there.
The people on the side were adding fuel to the flames and kept mentioning some of the problems that currently exist in our education. As a result, they scratched the itch of the deputy minister again and again. Maybe Governor He didn't want to go back so early, so she kept making comments there.
own opinion.
I was sitting there on pins and needles, secretly anxious. But I still had to look like I was listening attentively, and I had to nod along with their conversation from time to time, and even occasionally join in their conversation.
Later, I finally thought of a way to leave the private room temporarily. I said, "I'm going to toast the wine outside."
Governor He smiled and nodded to me. I was overjoyed.
It was already past eight-thirty. After leaving the private room, I hurriedly called Lin Yu, "Sister, my dinner here is not over yet. The leaders have no intention of ending it yet."
She said: "I'm still eating too. Let's talk about it later."
Then she hung up the phone.
I did hear someone talking on her phone just now, but now I felt relieved. I quietly poured the wine in the glass into the trash can and slipped into the toilet. I stayed there for a while and then returned to the private room.
in.
They continued to talk and laugh.
When I went out just now, they were talking about the bottleneck of high school education, saying that the situation is more serious across the country, especially in minority areas. Director Leng said that in the final analysis, this is caused by a serious lack of allocation of educational resources and investment. He also said,
Nowadays, most of the state's education allocations are used to popularize nine-year compulsory education. Now our entire Jiangnan Province has hundreds of millions in education debt, all owed by the "universal nine-year education". Nine-year compulsory education is difficult, and high school education is
I just had to ignore it for the time being.
I said at that time: "What is the purpose of 'universal education'? Isn't it to completely eliminate illiteracy? Isn't it to give our next generation the minimum opportunity to receive education? But today's world has entered the high-tech world
In this era, it is definitely not enough for our next generation to only receive compulsory education. Higher education is the basic way to cultivate modern talents. The current bottleneck problem of high school education directly affects the quality of our college entrance examination admissions. So I think this area cannot
Giving up, even temporarily, is not enough. It is often the children of ordinary people in poor areas who need higher education to gradually get rid of the backwardness they have suffered for generations. In fact, the most critical issue in this problem is the lack of national investment.
"Across the world, our country's investment in education is relatively low, which requires the majority of educators to appeal to the country."
At that time, the deputy minister sighed and said: "Although Xiao Feng's words are right, it is not easy said."
Governor He also said: "What needs to be done now is to integrate resources. First, we try our best to allocate funds to develop high school education. Second, we encourage private education. This is the only way we can solve this problem at present."
Secretary Luo said: "The problems of private education are also very complicated. First, we have to formulate new measures and documents in management. Second, there is a huge contradiction in the issue of fees. The purpose of private education is to make money, and the problem for ordinary people is low income.
.....”
At this moment, when I came in from outside, I heard them talking about the college entrance examination.
The deputy minister said: "Some people are now putting forward a proposal to abolish the college entrance examination system to the National People's Congress, saying that our college entrance examination proposes that 'everyone is equal before scores.' This sentence may seem fair, but in fact it distorts the rich and diverse education system.
The connotation of culturalization. For example, if a child is talented in mathematics but is not interested in politics, he will not be able to obtain better educational opportunities. Therefore, this is essentially a suppression of personal expertise and interests. It is also said that the college entrance examination brings
The biggest problem is exam-oriented education. Our compulsory education is all conducted to cope with the college entrance examination, which goes against the original intention of education and stifles the development of students' personality. Therefore, the vigorous quality education has turned into a solid
Exam-oriented education. In a word, the college entrance examination and the examination-oriented education derived from it have caused our country's education to lose its direction and lost the nature and soul of education; it has caused our children to lose their innocence and illusions, and their interest in learning.
Enthusiasm and ability have made our nation accustomed to accepting and imitating. A nation that was once the most creative must learn to create again, etc. What do you think of this problem?"
Governor He saw that I had just sat down, so he smiled and said, "I also asked our admissions director to discuss this issue. He is an expert on the college entrance examination."
I went to look at the national recruitment leaders and said, "They are the experts."
A deputy director of the National Recruitment Office said with a smile: "Your comrades at the grassroots level know the situation best. Director Feng, please talk about this issue. We are just chatting while eating, not talking about work."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: Who am I to be an expert on college entrance examination issues? How long have I been joining this ranks? But I guess Governor He wanted me to be in the limelight, or she also wanted to take this opportunity to see what I have done recently.
How much thought is spent on work. Therefore, I have to answer this question, and I have to answer it seriously.
I thought about it and said: "It is not appropriate to cancel the college entrance examination at the moment. The gross enrollment rate of our country's colleges and universities is currently less than 50%. Considering the principle of educational fairness, fairness cannot be guaranteed if the college entrance examination is completely abolished. The college entrance examination is China's most important
A clean place, the expectations of ordinary people; does the college entrance examination bury talents? No. Don’t big foreign companies go to key universities to recruit? This shows that our college entrance examination is successful in selecting talents. I think the college entrance examination is our current
It is the fairest way to select talents. We can't find a better way. Because there is no better way, it is the best. I still think that so far there is no way that is fairer, more just, more rigorous and more rigorous than the college entrance examination.
Honest college admissions methods. To be honest, I really can’t think of a more credible and efficient method to replace the college entrance examination system after the abolition of the college entrance examination system to determine which candidates can go to which universities to receive higher education.”
A deputy director of national admissions said: "Some people have proposed that each college should independently admit students based on their quality and personal strengths."
I smiled and said: "In this case, I can safely say that if the candidates are allowed to freely choose which school to go to college according to their own will and ensure that they can realize their wishes, then 95% of the candidates will
They will be willing to choose the top 5% of universities based on their own qualities and strengths, and 95% of universities will not have more than 5% of candidates willing to go. Obviously, the personal wishes of these candidates cannot be realized.
, then it must be decided by other parties or by the enrollment personnel sent by colleges and universities through mutual consultation. It is certain that the social cost involved in this method of decision by another party or by enrollment personnel sent by colleges and universities through mutual consultation is higher than that of the current college entrance examination system.
It is much more expensive, much less efficient, and the consequences are much worse. Why do you say this? If everyone wants to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, but Tsinghua University and Peking University cannot accommodate it, then you have to choose. Why choose? What are the standards? Yes
Experts say it depends on quality. How to measure quality? Who will determine the measurement standard? Who will measure it? Should the standard of quality be quantified? If it is not quantified, how can the level be determined? If the level is determined through quantification, wouldn’t it be earned point by point?
Who will ensure the scientificity and reliability of the quantification of quality standard scores? Who will ensure that the process of evaluating the quality of candidates is rigorous and rigorous, and that it is unified and balanced across the country? Who can guarantee that the process of evaluating the quality of candidates will not gradually see the overflow of power.
?If the power of admissions is delegated to colleges and universities, who will ensure the balance of interests and the reconciliation of conflicts among colleges and universities? Who can guarantee that colleges and universities will not become a stubborn fortress of power rent-seeking and corruption and a place where filth and evil are harbored?"
Governor He said: "Xiao Feng, what you said is a bit absolute, right? Western countries don't pass the college entrance examination. How do they solve this problem?"
I said: "I have checked the information. The admission of students to American universities is determined by three aspects. One is SAT and ACT scores, which are college entrance examination scores; the other is middle school scores; the third is interviews or recommendations from alumni. In fact, it is obvious that the United States
The methods and standards for university admissions are currently not suitable for our national conditions, and it is still far away when it will be suitable for the national conditions. First, the ownership or owners of American universities and Chinese universities are different. Our universities belong to the country and belong to the country.
The whole people, like national enterprises, may not belong to anyone in actual situations; secondly, the social credit level and the establishment and management of social credit files in the United States are different from ours, and the lifetime price paid by natural persons and legal persons for losing credit is the same.
We are different. We adhere to the concept of credit and the consciousness of adhering to integrity. So I think that the form of the college entrance examination cannot be changed, but the admission method can be reformed. As for how to reform such an issue, I have not thought about it carefully.
, after all, my time as this admissions director is still very short. But I think that once college admissions no longer rely strictly on college entrance examination scores, and some other reference indicators are used, the admissions process will become more and more complicated.
It is becoming more and more distorted and stale, and the powers from all walks of life will soon overwhelm the college entrance examination results and submerge them. In this way, the fairness of the college entrance examination will no longer exist, and it is the children of the lowest class of us who will be harmed in the end.
