Chapter 311 Mr. Yang’s gift to his hometown!

With Longchuan as the center, the Hakka area in my hometown is too big.

It was impossible for Yang Ming and he didn't have that much time to visit all middle schools or primary schools. He could only visit a small number of schools in each county below.

Yang Ming knew that the middle schools and elementary schools that Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang arranged for him to visit were already the best schools in the area.

On the contrary, if it is a rural primary school in a more remote area, it may be worse than the primary school of the Sanjiantang Production Team.

January 26, 1979.

The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

In addition to Mr. Shen, who represents Mr. Lao, there are also Secretary Zhang, who represents Xi Lao from Guangdong Province, as well as representatives from the heads of the education department of Guangdong Province, as well as relevant representatives from the Huicheng area.

In addition, there are representatives from the education departments of Longchuan County, Heyuan County, Zilin County, Lianping County, Heping County, etc.

At this time, a very important meeting was held in the Longchuan County Assembly Hall.

In addition to these people, there were also Yang Ming, Yang Jirong and his wife, and Lin Xiuzhi.

During this period, Yang Ming, Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang almost visited many middle schools and elementary schools in his hometown, allowing many people in his hometown to see Mr. Yang.

I feel both envy and admiration for Mr. Yang.

"Everyone, during this period, Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang have been accompanying me to various places in my hometown to visit the education situation in my hometown. I found that the education in my hometown is still very backward."

This cannot be denied.

Even after the 1930s and 1940s, compared with those developed cities in the Pearl River Delta, the education here in my hometown was indeed very different.

If Yang Ming comes back now and doesn't make changes, then when the cities in the Pearl River Delta begin to develop and develop, the education here will soon return to what it was in history.

"I have always believed that education is the most important, it is the hope of a country, a nation, and a family. Education can change the destiny of a country, a nation, even a family, and even an individual. In other respects, I temporarily I can’t help you yet, but I attach great importance to education and won’t be stingy.”

Many people here, especially representatives from the education field, were really excited when they heard Mr. Yang's words.

They know that Mr. Yang is right and education is indeed very important. Moreover, for ordinary people in their hometown, education is the only opportunity to change their destiny.

"After thinking about it these days, I decided to support education in my hometown."

"First, fund the establishment of Huicheng University in my name and my father's name."

There is now Huicheng Normal School of Guangdong Province in Huicheng. Last year, this university was renamed Huicheng Normal College.

On this basis, Yang Ming plans to upgrade it to Huicheng University, a comprehensive university focusing on liberal arts, science, engineering, etc.

"For the investment in Huicheng University, I will invest HK$30 million in the first phase."

30 million Hong Kong dollars?

What is this concept?

Many people still don’t have much idea about money today.

There were many representatives from the education sector, especially the principals of several technical secondary schools and junior colleges in Huicheng. The teacher representatives were so excited that they almost cried out.

Now 30 million Hong Kong dollars can indeed change a lot.

In Yang Ming's view, a comprehensive university in a place is really important. It can not only admit more local students, but also recruit more talents from other places to train and stay to develop the local area.

Historically, when Li Jiacheng returned to his hometown to establish Shancheng University, he probably thought so at the time.

Also, Bao Yugang returned to his hometown of Ningbo City and established Ningbo University, which is almost the same.

In this regard, many Hong Kong rich people are not stingy.

"Second, establish Huicheng University of Technology with an initial investment of HK$30 million."

There is no university of science and technology in Huicheng now. In Yang Ming's view, science and engineering are also too important. He plans to establish another university of science and technology on the basis of Huicheng University. In addition, he will establish another university of science and technology, which will also serve the local and even domestic needs. Cultivate more talents.

Another HKD 30 million?

Or establish Huicheng University of Technology?

In addition to Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang who knew about it in advance, everyone sitting here also knew about it in advance, including Yang Jirong and his wife, Lin Xiuzhi, and no one else knew about it. They didn't expect that Mr. Yang had just given out 30 million Hong Kong dollars to support Huicheng University, and now he was also giving out another HKD 30 million supports the establishment of Huicheng University of Technology.

They were so excited that they were speechless.

Yang Ming said: "Universities are also very important for the development of a place, or even a country. Whether it is Huicheng University or Huicheng University of Technology, I will focus on investment and attention. If these two universities develop well, I will continue to invest in the second phase or even the third phase.”

"In addition to these two comprehensive universities, I hope that three to five general junior colleges and higher vocational schools can be established in each county in the Huicheng area."

In this era, there are really too few universities in China, and even ordinary technical secondary schools and higher vocational colleges are too few.

Yang Ming knows that it is difficult for most people to get into key universities. Nowadays, even ordinary technical secondary schools and junior colleges are also very difficult to get into.

These technical secondary schools or junior colleges also train various talents, such as normal students, doctors, financial accountants, nurses, textile industry, light industry, etc.

These majors are all very professional.

In other words, Yang Ming hopes that in the Huicheng area, where his hometown is, there will be three to five such technical secondary schools or higher vocational schools in each county.

Among them, in his hometown of Longchuan County, Yang Ming thinks that Longchuan Normal School, Longchuan Medical Nursing School, Longchuan Business and Finance School, Longchuan Agriculture and Forestry School, Longchuan Water Conservancy School, etc. can be established.

Depending on the circumstances of each county, different technical secondary schools and higher vocational schools can be established.

This will not only increase the local admission rate, cultivate more local talents, but also attract more talents from other places.

"In these universities, colleges, and technical secondary schools, I think we can appropriately improve the training of local talents, and we must also absorb as many talents from other places as possible from home. Only then will this place have the opportunity to develop."

"I will invest HK$500,000 to HK$1 million in each of these technical secondary schools, higher vocational schools, etc. according to different scales."

Here in the Great Hall.

Except for Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang, everyone else jumped up with excitement.

Seeing their appearance, Yang Ming continued: "In addition to universities, technical secondary schools, and higher vocational colleges, for more people in the family, primary school and middle school are the foundation. I am very supportive of basic education in my hometown. , After these days of inspection, I found that the basic education in my hometown is very backward, whether it is the teaching building or various teaching facilities, etc. Here, I will focus on providing key support to the basic education in my hometown."

Key support?

Others looked over.

"As long as students are willing to study, or are of school age, and enroll in local primary schools or middle schools, I will support all tuition and book fees."

Support all tuition and book fees?

As far as China is concerned, tuition fees are really cheap, ranging from a few dollars. Even then, there are still a large number of children in rural areas who cannot study at all because their families cannot afford even a few dollars.

For example, in those families with many children, where several or even a dozen children need to study, parents have no choice but to let these children study and pay tuition fees, fearing that it will cost them their lives.

Now Yang Ming proposes that as long as the children in his hometown, including primary school students and middle school students, are willing to study, their tuition and book fees will be paid for by Yang Ming and Yang Jirong's foundation.

Yang Ming didn't know how many students there were in his hometown, but the total number should be hundreds of thousands or millions.

This also seems like a lot of money.

In fact, the few yuan a student pays for tuition and books is not much now. Moreover, compared to those students who can go to college, the largest audience in their hometowns are the families of primary school students and middle school students.

Except for Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang, everyone was so excited that they almost shed tears.

Once upon a time, it was so difficult to get every student to read.

Now that Mr. Yang has indeed said and done that, he has completely changed the fate of most people in his hometown.

When Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang learned of Mr. Yang's plan, they were shocked and speechless.

If Mr. Yang only supported the children in his hometown in the countryside in the Sanjiantang production team, they would have nothing. Now he actually wants to support primary and middle school students in the entire Huicheng area (including later Huicheng and Heyuan). This is not an ordinary person at all. Can do it.

Yang Ming knew that nine-year compulsory education in China was implemented in 1986, but it was not until 2008 that it became truly free, with no need to pay tuition and book fees.

It was just 1979, and it was nearly thirty years later in 2008. Can these people sitting here not be excited?

This is equivalent to the fact that children from all families in the Huicheng area can attend primary and secondary schools for free with the funds provided by Mr. Yang, which is the so-called twelve-year education.

The tuition fees for six years of primary school, three years of junior high school and three years of high school were all borne by Mr. Yang and Yang Jirong.

This covers the entire population of more than 5 million in Huicheng. As for the children studying, the total number is over one million.

"In addition, as long as you can pass the college entrance examination and go to university, whether it is a technical secondary school, a higher vocational school, or even a university, the Yang Ming Foundation will be responsible for all tuition fees until you graduate from university."
