In Lincheng No. 3 Machinery Factory, Jiang Xiaodong sighed while holding the transfer order in his hand.
This is a transfer order, but it is not an ordinary transfer order. More strictly speaking, it is an admission notice.
After entering Lincheng No. 3 Machinery Factory, Jiang Xiaodong served as a technical apprentice and learned mechanical maintenance from his master. He cherished this opportunity, so he worked hard both in studying and working.
In addition, he is not stupid, so he can learn things quickly. In less than a month, he was able to complete the maintenance of some simple equipment on his own.
This effort and study progress are naturally visible to the superiors.
Three days ago, someone from above came to him and told him that their mechanical maintenance department had a trainee spot at Hanyang Technical College, and asked him if he was willing to study. He also said that if he had good academic performance, he could go directly to a technical secondary school.
Continuous college study.
Is there any need to consider this kind of thing? You must be willing, you must be willing!
It does not mean that students who are authorized to train do not have to pay tuition fees, but that the authorized training institution will bear the tuition fees. Although they must also sign a loan agreement with the authorized training enterprise to repay the tuition after graduation and a five-year labor contract after graduation.
These loans will be deducted from his salary on a monthly basis after graduation, but this opportunity is still coveted by many people.
This kind of enterprise recruitment system has existed in the Tang Dynasty for a long time. Because of the high cost of education, there are still relatively few people who can receive secondary and higher education, and they are basically concentrated among geniuses and even people from wealthy families.
This also leads to the fact that although there are a lot of graduates with middle and higher education in Datang every year, it is still very difficult for companies to snatch these talents, let alone undergraduate graduates, even those from junior college or even technical talents in popular subjects.
Technical secondary school students.
Therefore, some companies will adopt a training system to train middle- and senior-level technical personnel and even management. Different companies adopt different systems.
Lincheng Machinery Company, which is affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, has a relatively loose system for trainee trainees. It adopts the model of student loans and labor contracts. Salaries after graduation will follow the market price, unlike some companies that treat trainees as trainees.
The system is like a contract of sale.
These commissioned trainees usually attend some private technical colleges. As for government-run schools, sorry, they generally do not accept commissioned trainees.
For the sake of fairness and to ensure the quality of students, Datang's government-run secondary and higher education institutions all adopt the official unified enrollment model and will not accept external students, otherwise problems will easily arise.
But for private schools, they can recruit whatever students they like, and the government has no control over them.
Therefore, in the society of Datang, there were actually many private schools, but most of them were concentrated in primary schools. There were also some middle schools, technical secondary schools, even preparatory schools, junior colleges and even comprehensive universities, but the number was not large.
The trainees appointed by companies generally choose to establish cooperative relationships with these private secondary and higher education institutions, especially technical colleges, and the companies directly provide money to send them to study.
What Jiang Xiaodong received was this kind of educational opportunity.
Studying for free and even completing college studies is an opportunity that cannot be missed for people from poor families like Jiang Xiaodong.
As for the five-year labor contract and tuition loan after graduation, this is nothing.
Those who apply for tuition loans from banks still have to repay the tuition loans for many years after graduation.
Three days later, Jiang Xiaodong received this transfer order.
That night, Jiang Xiaodong hosted a banquet for several of his friends from the same hometown and a few colleagues. When he told the story, the others naturally congratulated him and expressed envy and jealousy.
This is a serious opportunity to study in a junior college. Even many children from middle-class families rarely have this opportunity.
The next day, Jiang Xiaodong packed his things and got on the train.
After arriving in Hanyang with the banging train going south, he first reported to the Hanyang headquarters of Lincheng Machinery Company, and then joined more than twenty other Wei trainees like him.
Then he went to Hanyang Institute of Technology.
Hanyang Institute of Technology, although the name looks like an official school, is actually a serious private school.
But this private school is also different from many common private schools. The shareholders of Hanyang Technical College are 23 companies located in the central region of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises and the Royal Assets Division.
It was founded by the above-mentioned enterprises under the leadership of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises.
These enterprises jointly invested in the establishment of this technical school, and set up technical secondary schools and junior colleges with very practical disciplines, including administrative management, financial management, marketing, mechanical maintenance, engineering design and many other disciplines.
All subjects are set up completely according to the needs of these enterprises.
Moreover, they do not recruit self-funded students from outside, only scholarship students and trainees from 23 companies.
To put it bluntly, 23 companies joined together to set up a technical school to cultivate talents for themselves.
As for scholarship students, there is nothing we can do about it. Even if Hanyang Technical College is run by a company, it still has to follow the regulations of the Ministry of Etiquette. Among the admitted students, 20% must be full scholarship students, and 20% must be full scholarship students.
Thirty-year-old half-scholarship student.
These students are selected on a merit-based basis through entrance examinations organized by the government. Hanyang Technical College itself does not have the authority to select or reject students.
In recent years, with the development of transportation and communication technology, Datang's education system has also changed accordingly.
In the early years, the school recruited students completely independently, but later there were frequent cases of fraud, and some ineligible students received full scholarships.
Datang's education department directly reformed the admissions system, and the government directly intervened in the entrance examinations of each school.
The entrance examination will be officially organized and the results will be reported.
In fact, the reform is very small. It only changes the entrance examination organized by each school to one organized and proctored by local officials, and requires schools to strictly use the entrance examination scores as the only indicator for recruiting scholarship students.
Even for self-financing students, government-run schools are very strict. They basically select the best based on their entrance exam scores and whether the candidates accept the self-financing option.
It is much simpler for private schools to recruit self-financed students. They must strictly follow the requirements of the education department and allocate quotas for scholarship students. For self-financed students, they basically recruit students by themselves, and the government does not pay much attention to them.
This is also the reason why most Western Ontario students choose to cooperate with private schools.
This is because government-run schools do not recruit any commissioned students at all. Even if they recruit self-financed students, they have to select the best based on the entrance exam...
