Hearing Liang Yanqiu's words, Zhang Jian nodded and said, "I was thinking about the school magazine before. We will discuss this later, while the others will talk about admissions first."
When it comes to enrollment, Wen Han said, "Since we are discussing enrollment, how can the admissions office be absent? I asked Director Liu to come over and discuss it together."
Zhang nodded, "Okay."
The admissions office of Shizhong College has been established since the school was founded, but at that time there was only one Liu Huamin.
The school did not recruit students by itself before, so the workload of the admissions office was not heavy. With Wenhan's help, Liu Huamin could handle it alone.
Later, Shizhong College became more and more famous, and even though the school had not yet officially started recruiting students, more and more people called to inquire.
For a while, Liu Huamin came in the morning and continued to answer calls at night.
Under this circumstance, the Admissions Office started recruiting people, and now there are eight people in the entire Admissions Office.
However, the situation of Shizhong College is quite special. The school recruits only a few students every year, and the score line is high, so the group it faces is relatively narrow.
Therefore, the Admissions Office does not have much work to do, and the main focus is still on responding to inquiries.
Liu Huamin came soon.
Liu Huamin was a little surprised to see all the major figures in the hospital present. Wenhan only asked him about admissions on the phone. He thought he was coming to report to Dean Zhang on the admissions situation.
Zhang Zhong smiled and asked Liu Huamin to sit down, then poured him a cup of tea, "Huamin, have you been busy with work recently?"
Liu Huamin picked up the tea cup and said, "Recently, the main task of our admissions office is to answer the phone. Because you, Dean Zhang, have frequently appeared in the news media recently, and our junior high school has also shown your face, so many parents of students have called us.
Consultation status.”
"What issues are parents of students most concerned about?" Zhang Zhong asked.
Liu Huamin opened the folder he brought and said, "I have summarized these questions that parents have asked a lot. Dean, please take a look."
Zhang Zhong took the folder, and Liu Huamin was very attentive. He summarized all the calls he received during this period, classified the specific questions asked by the callers, and calculated the frequency of each question, which was very intuitive.
But Zhang Zhong looked at the data and felt a little speechless. What he didn't expect was that the top question was "Does your school have an undergraduate degree?"
Parents called, and what they were most concerned about was whether Shizhong College had an undergraduate degree.
What does this mean? It means that these people who consulted just called Shizhong College after hearing its name, without even having any preliminary understanding.
Zhang Zhong originally guessed that since he called for consultation, he should have done a preliminary understanding, at least the approximate level of the middle school, and then decided what to ask based on his or his child's level.
But now that he saw this data, Zhang Zhong knew that he had taken it too much for granted before.
Most of these consultation calls are made by parents. On the one hand, these parents do not know much about enrollment. On the other hand, they have a lot of free time and are not afraid of wasting on consultations, and they are not willing to bother to check again.
That’s why they first ask questions like “Does your school have an undergraduate program?”
After reading the first question and then the second question, Zhang Zhong was not so surprised.
The second question is "Is your school public?"
Although the parents did not do any research, their purpose was very clear. They first asked if the school was an undergraduate program, and then asked if the school was public.
These two questions are definitely not critical issues, but they are stepping stones that parents are more concerned about.
Looking further down, the third question is "Where is your school?"
It seems to be an insignificant question, but when Zhang Zhong saw this question, he was a little surprised that this question was not ranked first.
Generally speaking, when parents choose a school for their children, the first thing they consider is the location.
Is it far from home, the city is underdeveloped, what is the climate like, can I get used to it...
There will be no ranking at the end, and basically the occurrence rate of problems will not be much different.
Some of the questions were also asked on key points, such as whether the school has any special enrollment policy this year, or whether the school has independent enrollment.
The school does not have independent enrollment for the time being, and there won't be one today because we can't make up the time.
Although the state now stipulates that the independent enrollment test must be taken after the college entrance examination, it cannot be later than filling in the application form.
And now many schools that engage in independent enrollment have begun to sign up.
Independent enrollment is an alternative to the college entrance examination and recommendation. Compared with recommendation, independent enrollment is actually slightly less difficult.
There are some rigid conditions for recommendation, and there are only a few categories in total, which ordinary people do not have.
But independent enrollment is different. It can be said that anyone can participate in the independent enrollment of Huaxia universities.
Saying that anyone can participate means that anyone can register, but generally after registration, the school will arrange a panel of judges to evaluate whether the students meet the conditions for independent enrollment.
The content of the assessment is usually whether the student has potential in other areas.
After passing the assessment, students then take the exam.
Of course, just because you pass the exam doesn't mean you will pass.
Usually the independent enrollment test is just for admission with reduced scores. For example, if Shizhong College engages in independent enrollment, students who pass can be admitted with an exception of 40 points below the score line. However, the score line of Shizhong College is 620 points, so students need to take the test
To at least five hundred and eighty.
If it is lower than 580, then his independent admissions exam will be in vain.
Zhang Zhong pointed to this problem and said: "I think some parents are more concerned about whether our school has independent enrollment. What do you think?"
Yang Xiao was the first to speak, "It is definitely necessary to enroll students independently. It is equivalent to leaving a way out for ourselves. After it is opened, it will be up to us whether we use it or not."
Wen Han also nodded and said, "Indeed, this will make it easier to absorb some students who are partial to subjects in the future. There are many children who are talented in literature, but they may not be able to go to an ideal university because their subjects are weak, so they can enroll students independently.
Give them a chance."
Lai Ziru smiled and said, "Since we are going to engage in independent enrollment, the opponents we need to pay attention to are schools like Yenching University and Jinling University. The standards should be on par with them, or even higher than them."
Hearing what Lai Ziru said, no one else thought there was anything wrong.
The junior high school itself is now at its peak, and the score line for the college entrance examination will definitely rise this year, and by then it will not be far from Yenching University and Jinling University.
After all, their school has a small enrollment, which is a great advantage.
