Chapter 404 New Oriental Vocational Education (2/3)

"Sister Ni, are you really planning to send your child to a vocational school?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't study. Even if you repeat the study with his grades, it will be difficult to get into the university. The partial subjects are too serious."

"Do you think the newly built vocational school is reliable? I think the construction of the campus is quite beautiful."

"I don't know, I'm just a dead horse working as a living horse doctor. I heard that if I accept their employment arrangement, even the tuition fee can be waived. The promise I made is very good."

"What promises?"

"There are many specific items, some of which I don't remember, but there are a few very important ones, I still remember, one is free of tuition fees, the other is employment package, and the third is the minimum salary commitment. I heard that the salary is higher than ours. .”

"real or fake?"

"That's what they said. I don't know if it will be fulfilled at that time, but I think it is better to have a skill than to go out to work directly."

"That's true. It's quite chaotic outside now. If no one takes it out, we really don't worry about the child going out alone."

"Isn't that so? I hope my son can really learn a skill in a vocational school."

Ye Zishu was about to leave the post office. Hearing the above conversation, he suddenly became interested. He hadn't fully understood the changes in the county yet.

Since New Oriental Education Group received his 5 billion yuan capital injection, it has begun to expand on a large scale. In order to implement his previous blueprint, it has built a large number of vocational schools in the eastern, central, northeast and northern regions.

As for the western, southwestern, and northwestern regions, they have not been involved yet. Although it is a lot of 5 billion, it is impossible for all of this money to be used to build schools.

If the stalls are spread too quickly and there are not enough teachers, these schools will not be able to operate. At the same time, research on teaching content is required, which is also quite expensive.

According to their plan, 100 vocational schools will be put into use this year, costing 4 billion yuan, with an average construction cost of 40 million yuan for each school.

The land is basically obtained free of charge or at a low price, and these funds are basically spent on investment in school buildings and equipment.

Each school generally covers an area of ​​about 1,000 acres, and accommodates more than 5,000 students, and can accommodate as many as 8,000 students.

The campus construction is basically configured according to the colleges and universities.

The library, sports field, laboratory, teaching building, etc. are all equipped, and the construction standards are very high.

The training category is mainly divided into two categories, one is higher vocational training for the purpose of training engineers and senior service personnel, such as software engineers and nurses, and the schooling period is generally three years.

The other type focuses on training vocational and technical workers, and the schooling period is relatively short, usually six months to one year, mainly to solve the problem of insufficient professionalism of industrial workers in enterprises.

The former generally recruits students with a high school degree. Even if a high school student fails to enter a university and can go to high school, it shows that the basic theoretical knowledge is still good and has great potential for training.

The latter generally recruits students with a junior high school education. The foundation is relatively weak, and the potential for training engineers is not great, but they have more advantages than those with lower education.

This can be regarded as a relatively orthodox training plan. In addition, there are short-term training business, which may be as short as about three months and as long as about half a year.

The training of such personnel basically uses the school as a transfer point to send workers with a certain foundation for various companies under his umbrella, and will also have certain cooperation with external companies in the future.

The curriculum of each school is not exactly the same, and there may even be temporary professional adjustments. For example, if there are not enough majors in a certain school, they may be arranged to study in other schools.

In fact, the course setting is much more complicated than this, and the purpose is to meet the needs of talent training as much as possible and provide high-quality talents for him.

In the future, for his companies, middle and high-level talents will need to be obtained from more professional colleges and universities, while middle and low-level or business backbone talents will be filled by talents from these vocational and technical schools.

Ye Zishu also read some of their course content settings, which are relatively targeted. Although they are not completely arranged according to the actual work of the company, he is still quite satisfied.

Because according to his requirements, in addition to short-term training, other types of training programs need to carry out certain theoretical teaching based on what students have learned, so that they have more potential for development.

Due to the strong pertinence, the learning content is narrower than that of ordinary colleges and universities. Unlike colleges and universities, a computer major involves almost all aspects, but none of them are very deep.

The content of their courses is software, and the hardware will only carry out the necessary knowledge popularization, which is more professional, and the depth of learning is higher, and it will be faster to get started at work.

In terms of class time setting, it is much longer than that of ordinary colleges and universities. It is basically arranged according to the class hours of high school. The study is more intense than that of ordinary colleges and universities. After all, the training period is short, so the daily study time can only be increased.

In addition, these students who have not been admitted to university generally have relatively poor self-discipline. If the free-range training method of ordinary colleges is adopted, it will basically be useless and they will not learn much.

However, not all teaching is based on textbooks, and a lot of hands-on course content has been added, which is the biggest difference from other similar schools.

A considerable part of the average 40 million yuan school construction fee is used for the purchase of these equipments. If the number of students increases in the future, it may continue to be invested.

To be honest, this kind of investment scale was higher than Ye Zishu thought. When he saw the relevant documents and saw their investment, he felt as if he had been cheated.

According to their standard investment, if he wants to build 1,000 vocational schools, the cost of building the school alone will be as high as 40 billion yuan, plus the daily operating costs, which makes him feel a little headache.

Fortunately, only 100 schools are currently in use, and the tuition fees are basically paid by his companies, and the operation is so useful that he does not need additional investment.

Although it seems to be left-handed and right-handed, there is still a big difference in fact. The payment of these expenses belongs to the cost of the enterprise, at least no tax is required.

In view of the excessive investment, the slow construction of high-quality teachers, and the development of its industries, it takes time to accumulate, and the expansion speed will not be particularly fast.

The current construction and operation of these 100 schools should be the limit of New Oriental Education Group, and it will take a period of time to accumulate if it wants to expand again.

Although this was very different from what he expected, he did not bite the bullet and follow his own request, but respected the plan of New Oriental Education Group.

They are in the front line of education, and they have a much more detailed understanding of the actual situation than themselves. Moreover, rapid expansion will bring many problems, so it is better to lay a solid foundation first.

After getting into the car, Ye Zishu said to Ye Zihua, "Let's go home in no hurry and go to the newly built school."

"Brother, the newly built vocational school in the county is also your property, right?" Ye Zihua asked.

Hearing his words, Ye Zishu shrugged and said, "You guessed right this time, I also have an educational institution called New Oriental Education Group.

It's just that this company is relatively independent, not a purely commercial company, but shoulders the responsibility of improving the level of domestic education. It's normal if you don't understand it. "

The current vocational education cannot be said to make much money, because the market scale is not large, and many companies do not have this awareness. New Oriental Education Group can already meet his expectations if it can maintain its capital.

If you want to make money, it is estimated that you will have to wait until more than ten years later, when the industry is upgraded, and more industrial workers and engineers are needed to participate in industrial development, so that everyone will realize the importance of vocational education.

Anyway, it is impossible for everyone to take the college entrance examination. To be honest, it is easier to get a high salary than to go to a high-level vocational education school than a college with an average level.

He doesn't quite agree with the large-scale expansion of enrollment in his previous life, or the upgrading of schools that are not up to the standard. It seems that the number of college students has increased a lot, and the actual available talents are contributed by those old and powerful universities.

The result is that college students are seriously involved. Many students are unemployed after graduation, and their salary is much lower than that of blue-collar workers, but they are unwilling to do physical work.

This has led to a very impetuous social atmosphere. No matter how the society develops, the upward ladder will become narrower and narrower. Providing college graduates that cannot be accommodated at once will cause many people to have a great psychological gap.

He hopes that by establishing a sound vocational education, this situation can be changed, and that blue-collar workers can get high salaries, so that they will not be discriminated against as they were in previous lives.
