Just as Li Nanxing was adapting to university life, some changes also occurred in faraway China.
In early August, a symposium on science and education was held under the leadership of Beijing's education department. A total of 33 scientists and educators were invited to the meeting.
These 33 invited participants were either imprisoned or locked up in cow sheds before being invited, and their lives were always in hardship.
In fact, for this symposium, we had already arranged for people to find these big names in the education field one by one half a year ago, and they began to regain their confidence!
At this symposium, a professor sincerely pointed out that the current system of recommending students to go to university has great drawbacks.
Following the advice of these scientists and educators, the meeting ultimately decided that "this year we must resolutely resume direct admissions from high school graduates and discontinue the practice of mass recommendations."
Therefore, from August to September, the Ministry of Education held a national college admissions work conference in Beijing.
This meeting passed the "Opinions on the Enrollment of Higher Education Institutions in 1977".
On October 12, the top leadership approved this opinion and officially decided to change the college admissions practice of "voluntary registration, mass recommendation, leadership approval, and school review" implemented during the "Cultural Revolution" from that year onwards, and instead adopt the method of voluntary registration, unified examination, and admission based on merit.
After the "Opinion" was announced, it was immediately welcomed by all sectors of society.
Among them, the millions of educated youth who were sent down to the grassroots level were particularly excited when they heard the news!
In Shanghe Village, the learning atmosphere in the entire village is unprecedentedly strong.
In fact, as early as after the New Year, Zhang Luyao started a study class in her non-staple food processing factory. There were monthly exams every month, and those who performed well would be rewarded with tickets, including sugar tickets, oil tickets, meat tickets, cloth tickets, etc.
Tickets for these in-demand goods are extremely hard to come by, especially for farms that are most short of tickets!
Therefore, this kind of study class, which would not have been very popular originally, became very popular among employees because of the rewards of these bills!
Even the villagers were very envious of these rewards. Under the communication of the new village chief, Zhang Luyao also agreed that the villagers could also participate in the monthly examinations in the factory. As long as their test scores could be among the top ten in the overall score list, they could also get bills as rewards!
Of course, young people in the village can also come to the factory's study classes and study with the employees. Of course, the time is basically set on weekend mornings. After all, they still have to work hard on weekdays!
Several sets of exam books left by Li Nanxing, as well as other stationery provided by others, were also used by Zhang Luyao in the study class.
The news of the restoration of the college entrance examination system was not only reported continuously in all newspapers across the country, but related news was also broadcast on the radio every day.
Those who were originally hesitant about the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination also began to believe it!
The system of recommending students to go to university, which has lasted for more than ten years, is finally becoming history!
The college entrance examination system is about to be restored!
They have the opportunity to go to college and change their destiny!
When the educated youth who had no hope of returning to the city heard the news, they all burst into tears!
Everyone's enthusiasm for learning also increased!
