It was the mayor who asked Zhou Lihong to go to the city hall. He said he had something to discuss with the education director and asked him to go there quickly.
After Zhou Lihong received this call, he naturally drove to the city hall again.
Arriving at the city hall, Zhou Lihong hurried to the mayor's office.
After arriving at the office, he saw Zhou Liming sitting at his desk. When he saw him coming, he stood up from his desk and came to Zhou Lihong.
"Mayor, what's the matter?" Zhou Lihong was very respectful to his younger brother, the mayor. After all, it was during working hours, so he could call him whatever he wanted.
‘Brother, it’s like this. Our Qingyang City’s education has always been tepid. It’s been decades now, and there’s not even a single graduate from Tsinghua University and Peking University. I feel like I’m losing face!
Some of my classmates are education directors in other cities. But in those cities, there are some students who can get admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. Not only every year, there will be one every two years.
But what about our Qingyang City? It has been decades since the college entrance examination was introduced, but there is no student who can be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University.
A classmate of mine called me just now. He said that there is a junior high school in their city. Their grades this year are all good. Especially among the top ten students in the grade, it is very likely that someone will be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University this year.
People also asked us how the situation of Qingyang City's No. 1 High School was. People also heard that our Qingyang City didn't have a single graduate from Tsinghua University or Peking University. I just wanted to ask how our education is doing now!
I was embarrassed to tell others. I could only say vaguely, "Although our Qingyang City's educational performance is not very good, we are still working hard. Maybe in the near future we will be able to break through dozens of
In recent years, there has been no record of graduates from Tsinghua University and Peking University. We will definitely work hard.'
When people heard this, they just smiled and said, 'Okay, let's see if you are in your Qingyang City, a candidate from Tsinghua University and Peking University will appear first this year. Or in our city, a candidate from Tsinghua University and Peking University will appear first.'
I also know that the overall education level in our city is not very good. But we can't stay like this! We have to find a way.
I don’t know what causes this phenomenon. Aren’t all the students in our first high school smart? Why can’t we break the record of no one getting admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University!’
After hearing what the mayor's brother said, Zhou Lihong said, "I just came to this city to work, and I don't know much about the situation of No.1 High School. However, I also visited No.1 High School yesterday and asked the principal about the situation. He
He said that the overall results of their first and third grade students are still not very good. There is only one child who often ranks first in the grade. His scores have reached the level of 670 or more on several occasions. But he still has not made a breakthrough.
680 points. To get into Tsinghua University, you usually have to score no less than 680 points in normal exams. And you also need to be able to break through 700 points when you do well in the exam.
But the level of the top students in our first high school is far from reaching this level. Just the classmate who can sometimes get 670 points in the exam. It is also very difficult to get into Tsinghua University or Peking University. Or
It is almost impossible. Because the admission scores of Tsinghua and Peking University in science in our province are generally over 680. And our best classmate in the first high school has never exceeded 600.
Eighty points. Just imagine, with such scores, how could it be possible to get admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University during the college entrance examination.
However, if this student is lucky enough to pass the college entrance examination with a score of 680 and reach the admission score of Tsinghua University and Peking University in Nanhe Province, then he may create a miracle.
But such a miracle is really hard to come across. I don’t have any hope anyway. I just hope that this classmate can really create this miracle!’
After listening to Zhou Lihong's words, Zhou Liming said again, "Brother, what do you think, why can't even one of our first-grade high school candidates be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University? I feel very strange. Are the children in our city not smart?"
What! Or, they don’t work hard.'
After listening to what the mayor's brother said, Zhou Lihong said, "I don't know much about this matter. But based on my experience as an education director in other cities, I feel that the reason why our grades in the first grade of high school are not improving is maybe."
It's because there is a problem with the quality of students.'
‘What, the quality of students! What’s going on?’ After hearing what his brother said, Zhou Liming didn’t quite understand.
'The quality of students, of course, refers to the academic performance of the students a school recruits. For a high school, the quality of students it can recruit will of course determine the entire educational performance of the high school.
'Zhou Lihong looked at Zhou Liming and said.
"So, there is a problem with the quality of our students." Zhou Liming looked at Zhou Lihong and said.
'Although I haven't investigated this yet, I feel that there must be a problem in this area. If you don't believe it, you can call and ask the principal of No. 1 High School. Among the freshmen they recruited last year, they were among the top 100 in the city.
How much did they charge for the top five in the city? How much did they charge for the top ten in the city?" Zhou Lihong looked at Zhou Liming and said.
'Oh, that's it! Okay, wait a minute, I'll call and ask.' Zhou Liming is a decisive person. He can do whatever he wants. If he can call and ask, of course he will start calling.
.
‘Hey! Are you the principal of No.1 High School?’ Zhou Liming began to call the principal of No.1 High School.
"Hello, I'm Wang Dongfang, the principal of No. 1 High School. Who are you?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone. He didn't seem to know who was calling him! This Wang Dongfang
, although he had met Zhou Liming, they didn't get together often. There were so many people calling him every day that he couldn't remember Zhou Liming's voice.
This person's voice is different when talking in person and when talking on the phone. If you are not familiar with someone, or if you don't call often, it will be difficult to recognize who the other party is at once.
‘I am Mayor Zhou Liming!’ Zhou Liming saw that the other party did not know who he was. So, he reported his identity and name again. When Zhou Liming said this, Wang Dongfang was stunned.
