"Uncle Wu, I have an idea."
Seeing Wu Dagang's happy expression, Zhou Ziwen continued.
"What do you think?" Wu Dagang attached great importance to Zhou Ziwen's opinion.
"I found the school in our Dabazi Village too rudimentary. Children are the future of the village, and the educational environment is crucial to their growth."
"Can we consider some repairs and expansions to the school?" Zhou Ziwen said.
In the past, Dabazi Village had no money, so many infrastructure construction projects had to be shelved.
But now that the village's industries have gradually developed and have a certain economic foundation, it is time to make some improvements to the children's educational environment.
After listening to Zhou Ziwen's words, Wu Dagang pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement.
"Ziwen, you are right. Education is a long-term plan. We should indeed provide children with a better learning environment."
Wu Dagang said seriously that he supported Zhou Ziwen's idea.
"The village's economic situation is much better now than before. It's time to invest in education and lay a solid foundation for our children's future," Zhou Ziwen continued.
In Zhou Ziwen's mind, reading is very important. Only by reading good books can children have a broader vision and more choices.
He is well aware of the profound impact of education on the development of a village. A good educational environment can cultivate more knowledgeable and skilled talents, who will become the backbone of the village's future development.
"Okay, then let's plan it carefully and see how much money it will cost and what work needs to be done." Wu Dagang made the decision. He knew that this was an important task that required careful planning.
"I suggest that we can start by improving the classroom environment, such as repairing the roof, painting the walls, and adding some teaching facilities, such as blackboards, desks and chairs." Zhou Ziwen put forward some specific suggestions.
"These are all easy to talk about." Wu Dagang was very confident.
They have a mushroom cultivation base, as well as a pig farm and chicken farm that were recently built.
The mushroom cultivation base can bring a steady stream of craftsmanship to the village, and the chicken farm and pig farm can also make money.
Rebuilding the school did not put much pressure on Dabazi Village.
"Uncle Wu, in addition to the school, we can also consider increasing the number of teachers. Now one teacher teaches five grades, which is really too hard and also affects the teaching quality." Zhou Ziwen added.
Hearing this, Wu Dagang looked at Zhou Ziwen in confusion, "Ziwen, are you saying that one teacher is not enough?"
Zhou Ziwen nodded and explained seriously, "Uncle Wu, one teacher has to be responsible for all courses for five grades. This is not only very tiring, but it is also difficult to ensure the quality of teaching in each grade. Children need more attention and personalized teaching to better develop their potential."
After hearing what Zhou Ziwen said, Wu Dagang frowned thoughtfully, but did not object.
He felt that what Zhou Ziwen said made sense, so he slowly said, "Ziwen, you are right. We should indeed consider increasing the number of teachers. But where will these teachers come from?"
"Haha, we have them ready!" Zhou Ziwen pointed to the test paper on the table. "We can just pick the top five and have them teach a grade each."
Wu Dagang followed Zhou Ziwen's finger and looked at the test paper on the table. His eyes lit up, "Ziwen, this is a good idea!"
"Haha, the results of these people in front are still very good." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
In today's exam, besides Su Muchen, there were several others who also performed very well.
Two of them were educated youth from the Youth Home, and the other two were villagers from the village.
They are Li Yue and Zhang Feng from the Youth League Institute, and Wang Qiang and Liu Mei from the village.
Li Yue performed well in the cultural knowledge test, especially the Chinese language and general knowledge sections, with her answers being accurate and detailed.
Zhang Feng demonstrated a high level of performance in mathematics and teaching ability tests. His lesson plans were well-written, his ideas were clear during simulated teaching, and he was able to guide "students" to understand knowledge points well.
As a villager, Wang Qiang is slightly inferior to the educated youth in cultural knowledge, but he has great enthusiasm for education. In the teaching ability test, he proposed some very practical teaching methods based on his understanding of the village and children.
Liu Mei is also a villager in the village. She has a solid grasp of the basic knowledge of Chinese and mathematics, and showed strong affinity in the teaching ability test, which enabled the "students" to feel her care and patience.
At 7:30 in the evening, many villagers and educated youth gathered in the threshing ground.
Everyone is looking forward to the announcement of the results of the primary school teacher selection examination.
Wu Dagang and Zhou Ziwen came to the center of the threshing ground, and the crowd gradually quieted down.
Wu Dagang cleared his throat and said loudly, "Good evening, fellow villagers and educated youth! Today we are here to announce the results of the elementary school teacher selection exam."
There was a slight commotion among the crowd, and everyone stretched their necks, their eyes full of anticipation.
Wu Dagang continued, "Everyone worked very hard on this exam. After carefully reviewing the papers, we have selected the top five candidates with outstanding performance. They are Su Muchen, Li Yue, Zhang Feng, Wang Qiang, and Liu Mei."
"Five?"
Everyone was surprised to hear this.
They remembered that the village only needed one teacher.
Wu Dagang smiled and explained, "Don't be surprised. Our village school used to have only one teacher teaching five grades, so the teaching quality was difficult to guarantee."
"Now that our village's industries have developed, we have the conditions to improve the educational environment, so we have decided to increase the number of teachers. These five candidates are all excellent, and they will be responsible for teaching different grades respectively."
A heated discussion broke out in the crowd, and the villagers whispered to each other, surprised and excited about the decision.
Especially Su Muchen and the other selected people, they felt both surprised and a little nervous.
They were surprised that their efforts were recognized and they had the opportunity to contribute to the village's education; but they were nervous because they knew they had a heavy responsibility and that they had to face the future of the children in the village.
Wu Dagang raised his hand, signaling silence, and continued, "Our village's progress today is inseparable from the hard work of every resident. Now that we have the ability, we must provide a better educational environment for the children. These five new teachers will be our village's new hope for educational development."
Wu Dagang then detailed the teaching responsibilities of each teacher. He said, "Su Muchen, you will be responsible for teaching Chinese and mathematics to the senior grades. You have excellent knowledge and teaching ability in both areas. I hope you can guide the children well."
Su Muchen nodded seriously and said, "Secretary Wu, I will definitely work hard."
Wu Dagang looked at Li Yue again, "Li Yue, you will be responsible for teaching Chinese and general knowledge to the senior grades. You have a good foundation in Chinese and general knowledge, so you should give full play to your strengths."
Li Yue also answered firmly: "I will, Secretary Wu."
Next came Zhang Feng. "Zhang Feng, you will be responsible for teaching math and some comprehensive courses for senior grades. We all recognize your math ability. You must clearly impart this knowledge to the children."
Zhang Feng said confidently, "Don't worry, Secretary Wu."
Then it was Wang Qiang's turn. "Wang Qiang, you will be responsible for teaching the comprehensive curriculum for the lower grades. You are familiar with the village, so you should incorporate knowledge from daily life into your teaching so that the children can better understand it."
Wang Qiang smiled innocently and said, "I know, Uncle Wu."
Finally, it was Liu Mei's turn. "Liu Mei, you will be responsible for teaching Chinese and moral education to the lower grades. You have a strong affinity and must give the children enough care and patience."
Liu Mei smiled and nodded: "I will do my best, Uncle Wu." (End of this chapter)
