Chapter 2589
Ha Jianyi was of course the right person to ask Bai Letong about this situation, but Bai Letong didn't quite understand why Ha Jianyi was interested in this: "Didn't you go to Zhoushan to visit the East China Sea Fleet these days? Why did I suddenly want to change my career after reading this? ”
Ha Jianyi waved his hand and said: "I'm not changing my career, I just want to get some news about this for Wang Anguo."
Bai Letong suddenly said: "Does he want to bring a group of teachers from China to the other side of the ocean?"
Ha Jianyi nodded and said: "That's right."
The advance fleet commanded by Wang Tom has already established a military port base and colony on the other side of the ocean, but if it wants to truly spread its wings locally, it still needs domestic support in all aspects. In particular, all kinds of talents needed to establish a local colony must be recruited from within the country, which naturally includes teachers who impart cultural knowledge.
If it is just about teaching people to learn literature and literacy, then of course the scholars of the Ming Dynasty can also do the job, and the scope of recruitment can be greatly expanded. However, both the Executive Committee and Wang Tom hope to spread the original Hai-Han culture to the other side of the ocean, but it is obviously impossible for Ming literati who have not received special training to do so.
Although Haihan has attached great importance to cultural export over the years and invested massive resources in the cultural and educational industry, due to its rapid external expansion, the number of teachers trained is still far from keeping up with the growth rate of demand. Therefore, qualified teachers are still in Haihan. It is still a relatively scarce resource.
Given that the Donghai Region has such a large jurisdiction, there are currently only a few dozen teachers who have actually received qualification certification from the Haihan Ministry of Culture and Education, and most of them are from the south and are here on a long-term basis with regular rotations. while working. It is obviously not easy for the Haihan Colony located on the west coast of North America to obtain the required teachers from the Donghai Region.
Bai Letong already understood that Ha Jianyi actually wanted to seek help on his behalf, so he took the initiative to ask: "How many people does Wang Anguo need?"
Ha Jianyi said: "At least twenty people, preferably a few middle school teachers."
Bai Letong shook his head when he heard this and said: "Ordinary teachers can still think of ways, middle school teachers are too difficult. The only middle school in Donghai Region seems to be in Zhoushan. You should have stopped by to visit it, right? How is that place? ?”
Due to limited objective conditions, the current education system implemented by Haihan is still based on primary school and vocational training. Most of the few middle schools are on Hainan Island, and in the early years, time travelers served as part-time teachers. The enrollment scale was It is also extremely limited. Because the middle school students they train have a good knowledge foundation, most of them will be accepted as disciples by time travelers and continue to learn more profound professional knowledge. Some of them will be trained as middle school teachers to pass on the knowledge they have learned.
Therefore, it was not until recent years that the teaching tasks in middle schools were gradually handed over to naturalized teachers, but some of the more difficult courses still have time-travelers as guest teachers. Although there is a nominal middle school in Donghai Region, due to the lack of complete teaching staff, both the number of students enrolled and the quality of teaching are far from comparable to Hainan Island.
Sure enough, when Ha Jianyi heard this, he shook his head and said: "I went to see it. The middle school only has a sign. In fact, there are only two teachers and more than a dozen students, all of whom are children of officials from the Donghai Region. Then The teaching content here is not entirely the subjects learned in middle schools. The purpose is actually to prepare these students to go to real middle schools in Hainan Island. If we want to draw people there, the school will have to close down directly. ”
Bai Letong was slightly surprised after hearing this. When he stayed in Zhoushan before, he had no time to visit this school because of his busy schedule. However, in his imagination, the Donghai region was so prosperous that the conditions of this middle school must be similar. He did not expect that the real situation would be such a big gap.
But he then thought about it. Under Shi Diwen's rule, any family that had the conditions to send their children to middle school would of course try their best to send their children to Hainan Island. In this way, after finishing middle school, they might be favored by some adult. Disciple, you will have a worry-free future. As for the provincial and imperial examinations, how can there be a shortcut to success in one step?
Of course, not everyone can take such a shortcut. Considering the reliability of their background, basically only officials at all levels will enjoy such opportunities. The vast majority of scholars still need channels like the imperial examination to get the chance to change their destiny. This situation may not be completely changed until the capital is moved. By then, the Donghae region will be transformed into an important place in Gyeonggi Province. The cultural and educational industry will also develop rapidly, and schools at all levels will naturally spring up in this area.
Bai Letong sighed and said: "I didn't expect that the middle schools here are just superficial... But given the conditions of the new colony, the population there is only a few thousand, so why is there any need to be so anxious to establish a middle school?"
Ha Jianyi said: "What you said makes sense. I think Wang Anguo doesn't have any intention of making it happen. If there is a date or not, let's take a shot first."
Seeing that Ha Jianyi was not confused, Bai Letong was even more confused at the moment: "You took the initiative to inquire about Wang Anguo's information. It seems that your relationship has improved by leaps and bounds after a trip to Zhoushan!"
Ha Jianyi smiled and said: "Wang Anguo is a very down-to-earth person. This friend is worth making!"
Bai Letong also smiled and said: "For you to make such an evaluation, it seems that you have been drinking a lot during this time!"
Ha Jianyi waved his hand and said: "I will talk about Wang Anguo later. Please tell me first, can you help me with the recruitment of teachers?"
Ha Jianyi is of Mongolian descent and has a natural ability to drink. He is considered a rare opponent in the circle of Chuan Erdai. People who can be recognized by him in just a few days are mostly those who can fight well at the wine table. I have a drinking buddy again.
If it were anyone else, Bai Letong might not be at ease, but Wang Anguo was originally from this circle, so there was no need to worry about him having any bad intentions in dating Ha Jianyi.
It would not be difficult for Ha Jianyi to inquire about cultural and educational news for Wang Anguo, but it would not be easy if he wanted to do the recruiting work for him as well.
Bai Letong patiently explained to him: "If Wang Anguo just wants to recruit some private teachers, that doesn't matter. As long as he gives enough money and food, someone will definitely follow him. But formal teachers certified by the Ministry of Culture and Education, You must first submit a report and submit an application. Without Sanya’s approval, you cannot be transferred casually.”
"So troublesome!" Ha Jianyi couldn't help but frowned.
Bai Letong explained: "It takes at least several years to train a qualified teacher, and the supply has always been in short supply. For our country, these are special talents, and their work arrangements naturally have to be controlled by the government. Wang Anguo wants to save the process and do it privately Recruitment, I’m afraid, won’t work.”
