Chapter 12 Five-Year Plan (3)
There were also rare fierce debates in the House of Commons. The two factions held their own arguments, refused to give in to each other, and verbal disputes. At the beginning, they were able to be calm and discuss things on the matter. However, as the debate became more and more intense, the anger also increased, so there were also attacks on each other, labels, moral criticism, etc.
Now the Senate has been in operation for 5 years, and the MPs have also changed two batches. It has long since passed the freshness and restraint of the first establishment. The ills of parliament in the old time and space have also begun to appear, such as personal attacks, moral criticism, opposition for opposition, and crooked buildings. Fortunately, Qin Zheng has always controlled the operation of the House and controlled the ills within a bearable range. There has never been any common scenes of full martial arts and chaotic battles in the old time and space. This is also the main reason why Qin Zheng was required to take charge in the Senate during this period.
Qin Zheng also controlled the discussion on the real estate industry very strictly. Once a personal attack occurs, he would immediately stop it and warn the spokesperson. If a mistake occurs, he would immediately bring it back. Of course, the topic of discussion this time is whether the real estate industry should be opened, rather than the regulations and regulations of the real estate industry. This should be the topic discussed when arranging the opening of the real estate industry.
In fact, the design of this topic itself tends to agree with the open real estate industry. This is because the members of the Executive Yuan basically agree with the open real estate industry. First, this is an inevitable rule for social development and no one can stop it. The East China ** naturally cannot move against the trend of social development; second, although the development of the real estate industry has caused a large number of social ills in the old time and space, the emergence of these social ills has specific historical factors, such as unbalanced development, lack of experience, blindly believing in market regulation and neglecting macro-control, etc., and the current East China ** can completely reduce these ills to an acceptable range through legal and institutional design.
The veteran MPs showed great interest in this issue, and almost everyone spoke, so the discussion did not end for a whole day, and Qin Zheng had to announce that one day of discussion would be extended. This was a rare situation in the Senate. It was not until the third day that the discussion ended and the votes began. As a result, the slight advantage of 65 votes in favor, 47 votes against, and 8 abstentions were finally passed. Of course, the formal opening of the real estate industry still required the implementation of laws and regulations on the real estate industry.
Of course, after the issue of opening up the real estate industry was passed, the next step was the education plan. Although the education department was assigned to the Cultural, Education and Health Commission among the subordinate institutions of the Executive Yuan, and it was not an independent institution, East China has always attached great importance to education, and has also achieved great achievements in the first five-year cycle. It has basically achieved full coverage of primary education in Shandong Province. Each township or 2 or 3 neighboring townships must have a small number; and each county has opened at least one middle school and four universities have opened, which has initially formed a three-level education system of small, medium and large.
Moreover, East China ** has indeed invested considerable costs for education. Elementary school tuition, book fees, and school uniform fees are exempted, and free lunch fees are provided; middle schools only charge book fees, tuition fees and school uniform fees, and even during the Far East War, the cost of education was not deducted.
However, there are still many problems in education. First of all, there are insufficient faculty. Most rural primary schools only have 2-3 teachers, and the teaching assistance is only the most basic literacy, reading and writing, four-point operations, etc., and there are basically no other subjects. Only in middle schools can several subjects be divided into; secondly, the teaching level is too poor. Compared with the old time and space, current primary schools can only be equivalent to kindergartens or preschool classes; middle schools are not junior and high, and the level can only be equivalent to primary schools in old time and space; universities can only reach the high school level at most, and they are only the level of ordinary public schools in old time and space. If they are key schools or reorganized schools, they are still far from each other. In addition, this is only the education situation in Shandong, Tianjin, and Shanghai, not including Henan and Northeast.
However, this is not possible. High-quality education cannot be completed in just 5 years. It requires enough time to accumulate, accumulate, and develop. East China** has achieved this step, which is already a very outstanding achievement. As long as people who have completed primary school education, normal reading and writing, and general calculations will not have too many problems. It can be considered a successful blindness. This is a great achievement.
Another problem facing education has nothing to do with level, but in a sense, it is more serious, which is the enrollment rate. East China ** has basically popularized primary school education in Shandong Province, but the enrollment rate of primary schools has only reached about 60%, while the enrollment rate in rural areas is not even 50%. Compared with boys, the enrollment rate is higher, reaching more than 80%, while girls are less than 50%. The number of farmers is that boys reach 60%, and girls only have a little more than 20%.
The main reason for this situation is the concept. The city is better. Most residents have the idea that it is always good for children to recognize a few words. There are also some people who hope that children will eventually make a name for themselves through schooling, including some more open-minded people who believe that girls should also read a few books and not be blind. Moreover, the primary schools run by East China ** are basically free, and there are free lunch fees and school uniforms in spring and autumn. Most people still like to be greedy for a little bit of money, which is also very attractive. Therefore, the enrollment rate of children of appropriate age in the city is still unsatisfactory.
However, the ideas of rural residents are much behind, and rural children can basically be considered half a laborer and can help their families do a lot of things. Although East China has severely cracked down on the use of child labor, helping their families do things is not like this. Therefore, many farmers' thoughts are "What's the use of reading? You can also read a scholar, so it's better to stay at home and help some work." As for girls, they are even more conservative. Sooner or later, they are from other people's families, so what kind of books are read. This has caused the enrollment rate of rural children of appropriate age to be only 40%.
The next focus of the education department is to start arranging basic education in Henan and Northeast China, repeating the work of Shandong Province, while in Shandong, it is to increase the enrollment rate of children. In this five-year cycle, the enrollment rate of cities will reach 100% and the rural areas will reach 80%. However, this is only possible by the education department, and even the Cultural, Education and Health Committee, which requires coordination and cooperation from other ministries and commissions. Cultural, Education and Health Committee member Wang Jun suggested that in the form of legislation, children of appropriate age should be forced to enroll in school, or the enrollment rate of children of appropriate age should be included in the assessment instructions of local **.
After discussion, the enrollment rate of children of appropriate age was finally included in the assessment instructions of local **. However, the enrollment of children of appropriate age in legal form was temporarily shelved. The national conditions of China in this era made it difficult for a considerable number of children of appropriate age to enter school. It is not appropriate to use judicial interference at this time, and it is difficult to sentence. Whether it is fines or arrests, it is not applicable. Therefore, guidance should be the main focus, and the Cultural, Education and Health Committee is also required to strengthen publicity.
Subsequently, several other ministries, the Agriculture Commission, the Postal Committee for the Establishment of Communications and the Postal Committee, the Industrial and Mining Energy Commission and other departments also improved their respective plans, and there was no big controversy in these plans, so they did not cause any trouble in the Senate and passed them one by one.
Of course, some people have also been rejected. Some people have proposed to formulate the [Marriage Law] and demanded the formal determination of the monogamy system. However, after the discussion, they believed that the conditions for formulating the [Marriage Law] are not yet mature and they were still denied in the final vote.
In fact, the [Marriage Law] and the monogamy system are also an old joke in East China. Some people have proposed it since the establishment of East China. However, it was rejected in the Senate at that time. Moreover, the Executive Yuan also considered the special national conditions of China in this era. After all, men in the time travel group still accounted for the vast majority, so they did not use executive orders to enforce it.
Nowadays, except for minors and elderly people, most young and middle-aged people have married themselves, and marriage with local naturalized people accounts for the vast majority. The number of women among the time travelers is less than 1,000. Apart from minors and elderly people, there are only 7,800 people of the real age. Of course, only men are intermarried with local naturalized people, because time travelers are basically impossible to like local men. Moreover, with the expansion of the power of East China **, more and more local naturalized people who marry with time travelers, including some neutral local naturalized people, and even local naturalized people who are hostile to East China **, such as local gentry, wealthy families, and some Qing court officials families, they also adopt marriage with time travelers to ensure their own interests, safety, or bet on multiple sides. Therefore, there are indeed many time travelers who marry wives and take concubines.
The Executive Yuan basically adopts a tacit attitude towards this, but within the executive system, it also treats this differently. First of all, people who intermarry within time travelers are given priority. For example, among the five-person group, Qin Zheng is a family of time travelers, and the other four are single. In this era, the partner who has remarried is also a time traveler, and the same is true for the nine members of the Executive Yuan.
However, the number of women among time travelers is limited, so most administrative personnel who intermarry with local naturalized people still account for the majority. This is divided into four situations. First, they consciously implement monogamy, and the object of marriage is a politically reliable naturalized people. This is second only to intermarry within the time travelers, and it is also a target that is focused on and cultivated.
The last three situations are: consciously implementing monogamy, but the objects of marriage are not politically reliable, and some are even more politically dangerous; choosing a polygamy system, the objects of marriage are politically reliable, or a small number of them are politically unreliable; choosing a polygamy system, the objects of marriage are politically unreliable, or most of the objects of marriage are politically unreliable.
