Chapter 159 Many Benefits
"Director Ping, do you think if Tunan goes to your school, it will delay his learning progress?" Before making a decision, Shen Zhixue first consulted Ping Zetao's opinion. They were at the same level, so he used his job title specifically.
"The teaching level of USTC is definitely higher than ours." Ping Zetao said cautiously, "But the most important thing for Tunan now is to lay a solid foundation. In terms of basic teaching, the gap between our two schools is not that big, so if he can come to our school, at least in the undergraduate stage, he should not be delayed."
"Then I feel relieved." Shen Zhixue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put forward his suggestion, "Since Tunan doesn't want to be too far away from home, and he is only eleven years old now, it would definitely be better for him to see his family more often, so can we work hard to let Tunan go to the Normal College?"
"First finish your undergraduate studies, and then go to USTC or Peking University for graduate studies after graduation! After four years of undergraduate study, he will be fifteen years old. It should be no problem for him to go to other places at this time, right?"
Now the country is also discussing the issue of resuming enrollment, and it has been put on the agenda. It is likely to be approved, so Shen Zhixue’s plan is very feasible.
Ping Zetao was also very excited. As a teacher, who wouldn't want to recruit an outstanding student like Zhuang Tunan? And they did have advantages. "Teacher He will be returning to our school to teach soon. He has done a good job in training Tunan before. If he continues to teach, Tunan will definitely be willing."
"It would be better if our Suzhou talents could be nurtured by Suzhou's universities." Shen Zhixue expressed his true thoughts. If Zhuang Tunan was sent to USTC, whatever achievements he made in the future would be the glory of USTC. If he was kept in Suzhou, the honor would naturally belong to Suzhou as well.
"What Director Shen said makes sense. Since Tuanan wants to go and the Normal College has the ability to train him, why send the child so far away? It may not be good for such a young child to be away from his parents for a long time for his personal growth." Another teacher who has children agreed.
"Yes, if you leave home at 18 or 19, or even 16 or 17, it might have less impact. But if you go so far away at the age of 11, you will definitely miss home, and the school will be difficult to manage, right?"
"Enrolling in the junior class is a national plan, so let's not worry about the age issue." Shen Zhixue warned everyone that it would not be good if this word got out. "Let's focus on Tunan's personal choice. His situation is special and different from other talented teenagers."
At this time, Shen Zhixue thought that Zhuang Tunan's family discord was a good thing, otherwise why would he stay in Suzhou? Then, now there is only one last and most critical question left, "Now only USTC is allowed to open a junior class. From a policy point of view, Jiangsu Normal University is not qualified to recruit Tunan. How to solve this problem?"
"Cultivating talents for the country is the right of all universities. It doesn't make sense that only USTC is allowed to do so, right?"
"Education, especially higher education, requires teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and choosing different educational methods for different students. Sending all talented young people to USTC to receive the same education is unscientific!"
Shen Zhixue took the lead, and other cadres and teachers began to offer suggestions, and they actually found some very suitable reasons.
Ping Zetao also felt that what they said made sense. Since he was a genius, how could he be taught in the same way? "I will go back to school later and ask the school leaders if Jiangsu Normal University can also contribute to the country's exploration of new talent training methods! We don't need too many students. Zhuang Tunan is enough."
"It is definitely easier to just apply for one special student than to set up a gifted class. I think we can give it a try." Shen Zhixue became more and more excited as he thought about it. If he is lucky in the future and Zhuang Tunan achieves success before the students in the junior class of USTC, then his decision today will be a huge political achievement.
Everyone went to the cafeteria of the affiliated primary school to fill their stomachs and then came back to continue the meeting, which lasted for several hours, trying to find reasons from various angles to keep Zhuang Tunan in Suzhou.
The marking was interrupted only when Zhuang Tunan finished his physics and chemistry papers. I hurried over to check Zhuang Tunan's results. After the marking was completed, Zhuang Tunan got a high score again.
This result excited everyone. "The combined scores of these two subjects are close to 200 points. Even if Tunan takes the college entrance examination, he can be admitted to Jiangsu Normal University. Why wouldn't the higher authorities allow him to enroll?"
In the first year after Jiangsu resumed the college entrance examination, four major subjects were adopted: Chinese, mathematics, politics, history and geography/physics and chemistry. Each subject was 100 points, with a total score of 400. The science score line was 259 points. Now Zhuang Tuanan has scored nearly 200 points in these two subjects, so he can pass the line with just some answers in Chinese and politics.
"Let's ask Tunan for his opinion." Shen Zhixue called Zhuang Tunan in and asked, "Tunan, if I ask you to study at Jiangsu Normal University now, would you be willing?"
"Yes, this way I can go home more often, and I also like learning mathematics with Teacher He." Zhuang Tunan answered without hesitation. Isn't this the reason why he deliberately planned this?
He didn't care about the quality of the school. Central South University was ranked high in the national university mathematics major, but it had also cultivated talents like Liu Lu. Moreover, he had a talent, so he could achieve good results wherever he went.
"Okay, then we will apply to our superiors and try to fulfill your wish." Shen Zhixue made up his mind.
After seeing Zhuang Tunan off, he hurriedly found the leader who had called him, told him what happened today, and analyzed a lot of benefits of keeping Zhuang Tunan in Suzhou. "The Normal College will only recruit Tunan, a talented young man, and invest more resources in him. If Tunan achieves success in the future, it will be the glory of our Suzhou. At that time, the Normal College can also use Tunan's success to apply to recruit more talented young people."
With so many benefits in front of the leader, he was also tempted and said, "So we should really strive for it."
The education department and the local government worked together and soon the news of the emergence of a talented young man in Suzhou reached the ears of relevant departments. They immediately sent people with test papers to test Zhuang Tuanan's abilities.
They did not directly reject Suzhou's proposal to keep Tuanan in a local university, because there was indeed no precedent for setting up junior classes, and they did not know whether it was better to train these talented teenagers together or separate them. Suzhou's willingness to make new attempts is worthy of encouragement.
Now there is only one last question left: is Zhuang Tunan a genius?
