Open treasure chests in the film and television world

Chapter 96
During the period of the Republic of China, primary schools were called new schools, junior high schools were called junior high schools, high schools corresponded to senior high schools, national XX University, private XX University, and the latter were universities.

It is only divided into the difference between national opening and private opening.

There are two new-style schools in Renjia Town alone, one in the east area and one in the south area.

Gao Cheng made a special inquiry and found that the tuition fee of the new school in the east is nearly three times higher than that of the new school in the south.

There are many common people in the southern area, and the children who study in this school are basically children from poor families who live fairly well, so the tuition fees are cheap.

As for the new school in the east, the students who can go to school here are basically children from wealthy or wealthy families.

The tuition fees of the two new schools are 6 yuan and 2.2 yuan respectively.

Our current compulsory education is a nine-year system: six years of primary school and three years of junior high school. Compulsory education is considered complete only when all are completed.

During this period, the Republic of China also had compulsory education.

However, it is not called compulsory education now, it is called "forced education", which means that the government forces parents to send their children to school.

Even so, tuition is not free.

To pay.

Take the new-style school in the south of Renjia Town as an example. The annual tuition fee is two and two silver dollars, but if you live in the school, you have to pay an additional one and two silver dollars every year.

Why force children to read and write?
That’s because during this period, the national strength was weak, and there were many warlords who ruled one side. Subjectively, these warlords paid more attention to education in order to enhance their own soft power, and objectively promoted the development of local education.

The compulsory education requirement in this period was lower than it is now: Compulsory education is considered complete once the primary school is graduated, and the government does not impose it on whether to attend middle school or not.

In addition to these two new schools, Renjia Town also has several "private schools".

The proportion of private schools in this period is very high.

After all, there are still very few families who can afford formal schools.

Private school teachers are generally Juren, scholars, or college students or middle school students who aspired to engage in education. The annual tuition fees of such private schools are very low, only about half a silver dollar or 80 copper dollars.

Moreover, the teaching time is flexible. Children can go there if they have time, and if they have no time to work as farmers, the teacher will not stop them. They can even study in private schools with a few liters of millet.

There are even foreign Christians or Catholics who set up new-style schools or middle schools.

And there is basically no tuition fee for studying here.

of course.

Textbook fees still have to be paid.

However, if a child is studying in a school run by the church, he has to learn the Bible during the learning process, and he is also accustomed to the language of life in the West.

It is equivalent to being brainwashed by foreigners.

And it has been washed since childhood.

From this point, it is not difficult to see the shrewdness of foreigners.

Closer to home.

The servant drove the carriage to the east area.

Gao Cheng and the others sat in the carriage.

Since they plan to send Zhang Keke and the others to study, they should go to the best school.

Anyway, Gao Cheng is not short of money.

"Master, I'll just go to a private school with my younger brother." Li Daya, who was wearing new clothes, hesitated for a long time, and then mustered up the courage to whisper.

Their brothers and sisters owed the master enough already.

The grace of saving lives, the grace of revenge, the grace of adoption, and even sending their siblings to school now.

Another gift of nurturing is added.

She thinks it's really not right to go to such an expensive new school.

The tuition fee of six silver dollars is twelve silver dollars for two people.

For her, this is an astronomical figure.

The master is helping their siblings to buy new clothes, and also helping them to study. To be honest, she is very panicked.

She didn't even know how to repay the master when she grew up.

Promise with your body?She is not as beautiful as sister Coco, not to mention that she is still a little girl with dark skin and thin body.

Gao Cheng glared at her, feigned anger and said, "You're disobedient, aren't you?"

Originally, Zhang Keke also wanted to say that the tuition fee was too expensive, and wanted to tell the young master to change to a cheaper school.

Now seeing the young master getting angry, I put out this thought.

Li Erwa hurriedly said: "Master, I am obedient, and I will obey you."

He still doesn't understand the concept of money, and he doesn't know what 12 oceans mean.

Even when he used to call Gao Uncle, and now he changed his name to Master, it was only a few days ago that his sister told him to call him many times every day, and it took him several days to call him Master recently.

The precocious Li Daya understands the concept of 12 oceans and knows that this is a lot of money.But seeing the master was angry, she pursed her lips, bowed her head and said nothing.

"Well, Erwa is still good." Gao Cheng smiled and patted his head.

After being praised by Gao Cheng, Li Erwa immediately burst into a smile.

"Master, we're here." Yang Wei, who was driving the car, said.

Gao Cheng said, "Go, get off."

Several people got off the carriage one after another.

This is an old-fashioned tile-roofed building, and there is a faint sound of reading from inside.

After all, the semester is over now.

There are not no children who come to enroll in school again, but they are quite rare.

Because sending children to school at this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep up with the progress of other children.

The teaching teacher will not deliberately re-teach the lessons that have been taught to him for the sake of a certain child.

"What are you here for?" An old man with white hair was sitting outside the door.

"Oh, send the children to school." Gao Cheng pointed to Zhang Keke and the others.

"Then go to the office to sign up first, and help the children pay the tuition fees," the old man said.

"Thank you, sir." Gao Cheng thanked.

The old man suddenly grinned: "School has started for more than ten days. If the children can't keep up with the progress, you can secretly give their teacher some money."

"As long as the teacher collects the money, he will naturally help your child keep up with other children's progress."

He also said this because he saw that Gao Cheng was wearing clothes made of high-quality fabrics, and had an extraordinary temperament. He should not be short of money.

Of course, if Gao Cheng didn't thank you politely, the old man would probably not say these "hidden rules" in all likelihood.

Gao Cheng smiled and thanked again: "Thank you, sir."

At the office, I helped Zhang Keke and the other three to register and pay the tuition fee, a total of 18 silver dollars.

He was led by the school staff to the "junior primary" classroom.

Junior primary school, that is, the name of grades one to three.

Gao Xiao is the title of the fourth grade to the sixth grade.

Sure enough, as the uncle at the door said, Gao Cheng secretly stuffed 6 silver dollars into the teacher's hand. He was stunned for a while, and then took it calmly and stuffed it into his sleeve.

Looking at Zhang Keke and the three of them, they looked more kindly.

"Everyone welcomes the three new students."

There was sparse applause in the classroom.

After the teacher arranged the seats for Zhang Keke and the others, Gao Cheng nodded to the teacher before leaving.

back home.

Butler Liu Fu said: "Master, your master is here."

Gao Cheng was taken aback for a moment, a look of confusion flashed across his face, he nodded, and strode towards the living room.
