There is a lot of work to be done, and the work efficiency at this time can be said to be quite fast.
The old man just gave the instructions in the morning, and in the afternoon, a meeting in the lake attracted many experts in science and education.
It also includes school leaders of major universities and some celebrities in the cultural circle.
They were notified at short notice to attend the "Science and Education Work Seminar", which was hosted by the old man himself.
I have to say that this symposium really excited the vast number of intellectuals.
"I heard that this meeting was about resuming the college entrance examination. We have finally waited until spring!"
"Ever since the old man resumed work, I guessed this day would come. We must express our opinions and suggestions later. Our country has been delayed for ten years and cannot be delayed any further."
"Yes, yes, yes! But with the current domestic economic situation, can we afford it? In our opinion, it would be best to resume the college entrance examination immediately, and the more students enrolled, the better. But we also have to consider the actual situation..."
"Well! I guess it won't be that fast. We'll have a meeting this year to discuss and draft the relevant details, and then issue a notice so that the candidates can prepare for the exam. The earliest college entrance examination... I guess it will be next year!"
"That's true! Policies come first, and then they are implemented. It's not that fast. But it's good this way. We at the Ministry of Education have plenty of time to prepare."
"Since the higher-ups have invited us to discuss the resumption of the college entrance exam, it means that they are financially well-off and can invest more in education."
"Of course not! I heard that they made a lot of money in foreign exchange recently! Our department originally planned to send only five people to the United States for inspection this year.
Yesterday, the minister expanded the number of people to ten with a stroke of his pen. It is said that he applied for another sum of foreign exchange from above.”
…
Before the meeting began, the intellectuals and leading cadres who gathered together held a small meeting with each other and began to exchange information and opinions.
Professor Li and several other experts were also on the invitation list for the meeting.
They felt so happy listening to the discussions of the intellectuals and cadres around them!
In their view, today's meeting on the resumption of the college entrance examination and the fact that your departments can apply for more foreign exchange funds are all due to the foreign exchange they earned this time.
Standing among this group of people, they feel quite proud of standing out from the crowd.
It was not until the old man came out, waved his hand, asked everyone to sit down, and the symposium officially began that they became serious.
The old man seemed very relaxed and had a smiling face. After briefly explaining his idea of resuming the college entrance examination, he allowed everyone to express their opinions and share their ideas.
So everyone put forward their own opinions, and determined one detail after another, from the time of resuming the college entrance examination, the conditions for applying, the conditions for admission, the number of admissions, the start time of the examination, etc.
The old man’s initial idea was to implement the new education system next year and make preparations this year.
However, Cha Quanxing and others suggested that the college entrance examination should be resumed immediately, and the talent team building should be done as soon as possible.
After a little consideration, the old man immediately made a decision on the spot and decided to resume the college entrance examination this year.
When it comes to the issue of school funding, the Ministry of Education complained bitterly, saying how difficult it was for them to ask for money from the Ministry of Finance.
The Ministry of Education’s financial budget this year is not much. If the college entrance examination is to be restored, the funding for major universities will definitely have to increase significantly.
Also, what are the treatments for the college students who have been admitted? Free admission, and what is the level of monthly allowance?
A series of questions were raised at the symposium, all of which were very practical suggestions.
If this meeting was held according to real history, it should have taken place from August 4th to August 8th, a total of five days.
Why?
It is obviously a very simple matter, and almost everyone agrees to resume the college entrance examination, so why does it take so long to discuss it?
It all comes down to one word: money.
In real history, in 1977, my country's fiscal deficit had become very serious and foreign exchange had hit rock bottom. The elderly could be said to have gritted their teeth and sold everything they had to develop education.
Therefore, the discussion during those five days was mainly about careful calculation of "money".
No matter how hard the life is, we must not let our children suffer; no matter how poor the life is, we must not let our education suffer.
Even when the situation was so difficult, the old people were able to give the college students a very good living standard with a wave of their hands.
Now that we have such a large amount of foreign exchange income, there is no need for any unnecessary hesitation or consideration at this symposium.
The old man made the decision right away. As long as the college students passed the college entrance examination and entered university, they would be equivalent to state cadres. Not only would their tuition be waived, but they would also receive meal tickets, food allowances and subsidies every month.
This shocked all the intellectuals present.
Such a big deal?
That’s hundreds of thousands of college students!
Such an allowance is not a small amount of money.
It seems that the country is really rich!
Hearing this, Professor Li and others felt a surge of pride in their chests.
Finally, this symposium ended quickly and successfully.
The meeting determined that after the resumption of the college entrance examination, the principle would be "voluntary application, unified examination, and admission based on merit."
The removal of the rigid requirement of "unit consent" can be said to have completely given millions of educated young people a chance to make the leap and change their destiny.
When the meeting ended, the intellectuals and leading cadres present immediately spread the latest policy instructions to a small circle after the meeting.
All of a sudden, the college entrance examination review materials in major bookstores in Beijing and on the black market became extremely popular.
Various rumors began to spread among young people, and then spread to nearby areas and provinces with the capital as the center.
College entrance examination! College entrance examination! It’s really here.
Many educated youths who were full of hope would study late into the night after their heavy work during the day, and began to make up for the knowledge they had missed in high school.
…
In Haizili, after the symposium.
Professor Li and others did not leave in an orderly manner like the others.
Instead, he found the old man's secretary, Xiao Liu, and asked about the application they had submitted.
They are anxious!
After all, when it comes to making money, any delay will result in a loss of tens of thousands of dollars!
If you invest money earlier and then make money in the futures market, you can earn more, which will be a huge help to the country!
