Chapter 383 Recruitment Requirements
The conditions for students to be promoted to a higher class were extremely strict, so the teachers who were responsible for teaching knowledge naturally had to be the elite among the elites. The teachers in the Imperial Examination Academy had at least achieved the title of scholar, and were more than qualified to teach the students at this stage.
In order to ensure that the Imperial Examination Academy had enough excellent teachers to meet the teaching needs, the government invited many local prestigious private school teachers to join the Imperial Examination Academy and serve as instructors in the academy.
In this way, these teachers had a formal organization, became public servants, and could receive a salary from the academy every month.
Although this may make them earn less money than when they were running a private school before, it is more stable and they don't have to worry about bad times affecting their income. Moreover, they now have other colleagues to share the teaching pressure with, and they no longer have to worry about those difficult parents of students coming to cause trouble.
Not only that, teachers can spend more time with their families and enjoy the warmth of the family. They can even use the learning materials provided by the college to continue their studies while teaching and educating people, striving to reach a higher level.
As for the students, the situation is much better than before. Before, they needed to pay a certain amount of tuition to the private school teachers every year, but now they only need to pay tuition to the Imperial Examination Academy.
In this way, the amount of money spent each year becomes less, but the learning resources available become richer and higher quality.
Overall, such a change is welcomed by both private school teachers and many students.
Speaking of teaching resources, Lin Chuyi used her status as the eldest princess to retrieve the imperial examination archives from various places in the past ten years. By analyzing the examination questions and excellent essays of previous years, she figured out the rules and characteristics.
After a period of integration, Lin Chuyi sorted out a complete set of methods to deal with the imperial examination, including common exam routines, key points that are easy to score, and so on.
Then, she combined these findings with the specific contents of the required books for the imperial examinations, carefully designed a series of targeted examination questions, and compiled them into a thick booklet.
Lin Chuyi asked teachers to assign homework to students in a similar way in their daily teaching. In this way, students can not only get sufficient writing training, but also gradually adapt to various types of topics, thereby enhancing their adaptability.
In order to help students better adapt to the real examination environment, Lin Chuyi also specially organized several mock exams. In the mock exam room, everything was carried out according to the standards and procedures of the formal imperial examination, striving to create the most realistic atmosphere.
In this way, students can familiarize themselves with the examination environment in advance and reduce nervousness. At the same time, they can also more clearly recognize their own shortcomings and further improve their enthusiasm for learning.
Of course, Lin Chuyi understands that the all-round development of students is equally important. Therefore, in addition to normal academic studies, the college arranges physical education classes and interest classes for students every week.
The emergence of physical education classes is to enable students to have a healthy body, and the emergence of interest classes is to allow students to develop a hobby of their own after studying, so that they can relax their minds and acquire a skill at the same time.
Students from poor families can use the skills they have learned to earn some extra money to reduce the burden on their families. At the same time, these activities can also broaden students' horizons and prevent them from becoming nerds who only know how to study.
When it comes to learning skills, we have to mention the third category of colleges divided by Lin Chuyi.
The third type of college is vocational colleges. Taking into account the current social environment and types of jobs, Lin Chuyi divides vocational colleges into men's vocational colleges and women's vocational colleges according to gender.
There are currently ten teaching career options at the Men's Vocational College, with the most popular careers being cooking, carpentry and construction.
The total number of teaching professions in women's vocational colleges is slightly lower, only eight, among which embroidery, cooking and handicrafts are the most popular.
The prerequisite for entering a vocational college is also to have a completion certificate issued by a junior college. As mentioned earlier, after graduating from a junior college, entering a higher-level college for further studies refers to these two types of vocational colleges.
Because the cost of supporting a scholar and educating him from school to officialdom is too high, and even many people cannot make any achievements in the imperial examinations even after spending their entire lives, so many families with poor conditions will not choose to support their own family members and let them embark on the path of studying and taking the imperial examinations.
The vocational college founded by Lin Chuyi has provided a new way out for poor people. As long as they send their children to junior college for three years, they can apply for vocational college and learn a skill to support their family.
Both involve spending money, but the imperial examination is a bottomless pit, like a huge hole that can never be filled, while sending your children to a vocational college is completely different.
In just a few years, children can learn a real skill in the college. Once they graduate, they can immediately bring income to the family. In this way, for ordinary families, it is obviously more cost-effective to choose to go to a vocational college to learn a skill.
Although attending a vocational college may have various restrictions and requirements, and it also costs money and time, the cost is negligible compared to other options.
Usually, if parents want their children to learn a craft from a craftsman, not only do they have to pay high tuition fees, but the children also have to work as odd jobs for the craftsman for several years.
If the relationship between the two parties is not close and harmonious, then don't expect to learn real skills. After all, everyone is afraid of "teaching the apprentice and starving the master" happening to themselves.
However, vocational colleges are very different. Here, children also need to spend several years studying, but in addition to mastering the ability to read and write, they can also learn real professional skills.
More importantly, there is no need to worry about your child being treated unfairly because of poor etiquette or insufficient gifts. No matter how you calculate it, sending your child to a vocational college is a more cost-effective choice.
With this mentality, the junior college founded by Lin Chuyi received support from the general public from the beginning of its establishment, and people came to sign up for study in an endless stream.
The successful enrollment of junior colleges laid a solid foundation for the subsequent development of imperial examination colleges and vocational colleges.
As waves of students graduate from these colleges and enter society, the benefits of reading and literacy gradually become apparent.
During the years when they entered the academy to study and make progress, the three states had undergone tremendous changes.
Lin Chuyi used her dual identities as the eldest princess and the president of the Chamber of Commerce to build bridges between the government and the Chamber of Commerce, and successively opened factories of a public-private partnership.
These include textile factories, printing factories, garment factories, glass factories, soap factories, pharmaceutical factories, furniture factories, food processing factories, cotton and linen factories, cement factories, and fertilizer factories. They also organized and built many forest farms and ranches. While running the factories, they did not forget to pay attention to the development of forestry and animal husbandry.
Once a factory is built, it is necessary to recruit a large number of employees to produce goods. The recruitment requirements of these factories vary, but there is one requirement that is consistent, that is, there are cultural requirements for recruited employees. The recruited employees are required to have at least a graduation certificate issued by a junior college.
If you want to obtain a graduation certificate and thus qualify for the job recruitment exam, you have to send your eligible children to college.
With the implementation of this rigid condition, the people of the three states began to spontaneously send their children to the college, whether they hoped that their children would go to school and take the imperial examinations to gain fame and honor for their family, or they simply wanted to send their children to the college for a few years, get a diploma, and get a stable job in the future. The number of students admitted by the college increased year by year.
Seeing that this tactic was quite effective on ordinary people, Lin Chuyi followed suit and added this mandatory rule to all the factories he established later.
In order to change the current social status and living environment of women, Lin Chuyi has become more stringent in the recruitment requirements for factories such as textile factories and cotton and linen factories, stating that these factories only recruit female workers.
