Chapter 399: Young Students
With the support of Feiyi Star's developed education system, Gu Hang formulated a series of plans to solve the problem of talent shortage in the alliance.
In the future, he thinks the ideal situation is that a large proportion of officials from all over the alliance have a good educational background and their general ability level is more outstanding than it is now.
During their education, they agreed with the Alliance's current philosophy: loyalty to the Empire, loyalty to the Governor, support for the Alliance system, promotion of multi-star integration, building a better society, and leading all Alliance members towards prosperity.
However, relying solely on ideological education courses in regular schools may not be enough. The many Zhongsi Colleges established will play a role in the next stage.
Each of these Zhongsi academies was built with one thousand points of grace. They are dedicated to ideological education and have been fully established in all the planets currently controlled by the Alliance, in varying numbers.
No matter they are administrators, civil servants, industry executives, or military officers, if they want to reach high positions, Zhongsi College is a path they must take.
It is not required for everyone to enroll. No matter how many schools Gu Hang built, it is not enough to support everyone to study. Only those who perform well and will take important positions will enter. When it comes to promotion and position, the learning experience and academic performance of Zhongsi College will account for an important proportion of the scores.
Under the same conditions, a large proportion of priority will be given to those who have studied at Zhongsi College; even if some of their political achievements and academic qualifications are slightly inferior, if they are endorsed by Zhongsi College, they will be given priority.
The training of Zhongsi College will select and admit some graduates from various colleges for full-time education for one year. Graduates who have this experience will undoubtedly have a bright future. If nothing unexpected happens, these young people will rise rapidly in any position or business line in the future.
Full-time students account for only about 20% of the total number of students in each Zhongsi College. The remaining 80% are in-service personnel who receive training for a period of about two to three months. These in-service personnel include administrative officials, civil servants, employees of state-owned companies, entrepreneurs, company executives, engineers, military officers, etc., covering almost all walks of life under the current alliance system.
At present, Gu Hang has established more than 30 Zhongsi colleges, and each one is built to accommodate about 20,000 students. In a year, it can produce 200,000 full-time outstanding graduates and 1.6 million in-service trainees.
With such talent output, the purity of various teams in the league can be guaranteed to a certain extent.
Subsequently, the number of Zhongsi colleges will be further expanded.
The higher education system will be integrated into the alliance system, and combined with the Zhongsi College system, the Alliance Education Department is working hard to establish an entire system that meets Governor Gu’s requirements in the shortest possible time.
…
"cheers!"
Dozens of cups collided again.
Shang Yanwen, who is usually calm and introverted, also flushed under the influence of alcohol, and felt sad yet excited.
This is their last gathering.
Shang Yanwen rarely attended his classmates' gatherings. In his opinion, it was a waste of time. He had neither the time nor the money to attend meaningless gatherings.
Shang Yanwen came from the city of promise in Korojia. He was once just an ordinary student from an ordinary family. When a great plague broke out in Korojia, he was still young and fell ill.
If it weren't for Governor Gu Hang who led Korojia's army and the Empire's army to win the plague war, liberated the City of Promise, issued a series of policies to treat illnesses and heal people, and provided jobs and promoted the ranks of his family, he would not have lived to grow up.
In the past, boys like him who were close to adulthood would definitely find a way to hang out in the streets. The better ones would go to factories and find a job, while the worse ones would hang out on the streets, cheating, deceiving, or even robbing and stealing. In short, they had to find a way to support themselves and even their families.
But after Koroja joined the alliance and the system reform was led by Ms. Ispsi, and he came to the City of Promise, his fate was changed again.
He was able to escape the fate of being a child laborer and go to school to study.
Although, most of his classmates only learned some basic knowledge in school, took care of their health, and waited until they were older and truly adults to participate in the work. But the working environment was much better than before. Under the reform of the alliance, his neighborhood had state-owned factories and transportation teams, and he could also start his own business as a small vendor. If that didn't work out, he could look for opportunities in other neighborhoods. As long as he had a formal job and obtained a rank, he didn't have to worry about starving to death.
All of this was brought about by the alliance.
He had understood this when he had just recovered from his illness and when his mother thanked the Union officials and soldiers profusely. After entering school, gaining more knowledge and learning ideological and political courses, combined with everything he had seen with his own eyes, he had a deeper understanding of all this.
He did not miss the opportunity to change his fate. During his time in school, he studied very hard and his grades were undoubtedly ranked first. Later, he entered a higher-level institution and continued to graduate with the first place.
At that time, the alliance had just recaptured Feiyi Star, and after the policy of delegated study was implemented, his grades, his ideological awareness, and his excellent performance in internship practice all earned him a chance to study at Feiyi Star's 'Feiyi Star University of Arts and Sciences, Anjiang Branch'.
The Anjiang branch of Xingli Grammar School is a third-tier school on Feiyi Star, ranking around 7,000 to 8,000 among all the universities on Feiyi Star. However, he still ranked among the top in his first two years of study and was promoted to the main school.
The main campus of Xingli University of Arts and Sciences is the top tier school among the top 100 schools on Feiyi Star.
There is no doubt about his talent, and his own efforts are also crucial. But he never forgets that he can be where he is today entirely because of the Governor and the Alliance. Without the changes brought about by the Alliance, he would either die or be screwing screws in a factory without knowing anything. How could he have the opportunity to come to one of the highest institutions of learning on Feiyi Star, wander in the ocean of knowledge, and have a bright future?
Because of this, he never dared to slack off. He knew that every opportunity was hard-won, he was much luckier than most people, and he had gained a lot from the league. He needed to seize every precious time and put it into every opportunity to improve himself.
In the future, he hopes to give back what he has gained to the entire society that has nurtured him.
Because of this, no matter how many temptations there were around him, he always focused on learning.
But today is really special.
The dozen or so people present, not just Shang Yanwen, but all the other young people, all had similar backgrounds.
They were the first group of government-assigned students sent to Feiyi Star for study by the Alliance, and they had completed the four-year study and passed the exams.
Starting from tomorrow, they will go their separate ways, return to their hometowns on different planets, return to their assigned units, and contribute to the development of the alliance, the development of their hometowns, and their own future.
Today is their last gathering before they part.
No matter how focused Shang Yanwen was on his studies and how oblivious he was to what was happening outside, he could not avoid this scene.
What intoxicated him was not just the alcohol, not just the sadness of his classmates about to say goodbye, but also the passionate words of a group of young people with the same spirit at this moment.
"Classmates! Classmates!" One of them jumped onto the table.
Shang Yanwen knew him. He was also a fellow villager from Koroja, but they were not from the same hive. In his impression, this guy was always gentle and polite, but now, his collar was torn open, his movements became unrestrained, and his expression was high-spirited:
"Listen to me, students!"
"We come from different worlds and different hives. We have different origins and backgrounds. But we all come here for one goal! We are all here for the entire alliance, for our hometown, and for the myriad changes brought about by Governor Gu Hang. That's why we were able to change our destiny and gather here together."
"I completely agree with the alliance's philosophy. I firmly believe that our world and our alliance will become better and better under the leadership of Governor Gu!"
"This is an exciting and youthful era. We have lived up to our youth and all of us have graduated with excellent results. I am proud of each and every one of us!"
The young people cheered.
The man standing on the table pressed his hands and shouted, "But! But! Classmates! We must be clear-headed! We must realize that all this is just the beginning! The end of school only means that we have mastered the knowledge we should master. What comes next is the most important!"
"What are we going to do?!"
"We will bring everything we learned here back to our hometown!"
"We must use the knowledge we bring back in our future work! We must integrate into the alliance with our wisdom, sweat and blood!"
"The founders of the alliance came out of the Wrathful Owl Star, saved countless people, and changed the fate of countless people. They created the past, and we will inherit these wills and create a better future!"
"In the future, there will be more people with smarter brains who will take over our business and make the alliance last forever! Now, we are taking over a world where everything is flourishing and full of vitality, and I hope that the world we hand over to the next generation in the future will be a more prosperous and vibrant world than the current one!"
"Classmates! Do you have the same confidence as me?"
"have!"
"have!"
Shang Yanwen also raised his glass and shouted!
What should have been a sad farewell party for classmates was pushed to an uplifting climax.
There is no sadness, only the passion of the young people. In their vision of the future, everything becomes exciting and beautiful.
After taking the last sip of the glass, everyone promised to meet again in ten or twenty years. When looking back, I hope everyone can hold their chest high and proudly tell other classmates how much they have realized their ideals over the years.
Amidst laughter and joy, the wine was served and the crowd dispersed.
They walked back to the dormitory arm in arm, and as they walked, they stopped again.
"Hey? Xiao Shang, Xiao Shang... Lu Shaoyu is in front, he must be waiting for you."
Shang Yanwen was chatting with his classmates about what he would do after returning home and how to describe the situation in his hometown in his latest letter home, when he suddenly heard someone calling him.
He looked up and saw a pretty black-haired girl in a white dress standing in front of their group of people.
He also stopped.
The brothers patted him on the shoulders, grinned evilly, and left one after another, leaving only two people behind.
Soon, the noise faded away and the night wind became quiet.
"Yanwen..." Lu Shaoyu started, with a hint of pleading in her eyes, "I asked my father, his company has completed the nationalization reform, and now there are many vacancies...you..."
"Shao Yu, don't say anything. We have already discussed this issue." Although he was still drunk and felt guilty, Shang Yanwen was determined. "I want to go back to my hometown. My hometown needs my abilities more than Feiyi Star."
"But!" Lu Shaoyu walked up to him anxiously, looked up at him, tears in her eyes, "Have you ever thought of me in your heart? You went to Korojia, how long will it take for us to see each other in the future..."
"I'm sorry... I understand, that's why I never dared to accept your kindness. You belong here, you deserve everything you deserve, enjoy the birdsong and flowers of Winged Star, enjoy the progressive and civilized city. You should drink coffee in the sunny afternoon, doing a job you love. But I... but I'm different, I come from the bottom of the nest city that never sees the sun in Promise City, and I can never get away from there. If I can't lead everyone in my hometown to live a life where they can enjoy the afternoon with a smile, how can I be qualified to live my own life?"
As he spoke, Shang Yanwen, under the influence of alcohol and love, could no longer resist and embraced the girl in his arms.
But this tenderness only lasted for a moment.
"I'm sorry... I can only let you down. I can only let myself down. But I would rather do this. I can't let my hometown down. I can't let the alliance down."
He resolutely let go of his hands and walked quickly past the girl.
Lu Shaoyu turned around, tears already streaming down her face: "I'll go with you!"
Shang Yanwen didn't look back, but just waved his hand with his back to him.
