Chapter 897 Chang'an's Financial Resources and Thoughts on Education

After talking about work, Wang Hongtao left Mayor Hu Hao alone. He had some ideas recently and wanted to share them.

First of all, Wang Hongtao needs to understand the current family background and financial resources of Chang'an City. will do.

"Mayor, I want to know, how much money can we spend on construction now?"

Hu Hao was startled, is he going to make another big move?Maybe all the mayors will search and search, because they want to "live the situation", just like a family, the one who manages the money is the most restrained, and always wants to have some wealth in case of emergencies. This has nothing to do with corruption. Not happy.

Hu Hao said: "Secretary, the city's finances are relatively abundant, and it may be unprecedentedly healthy. There is no need to say more about the balance of revenue and expenditure. I will give a general report. This year, Chang'an will strive for the support of superiors and combine efficient capital operation, and actively "run the ministry into the province." ", to provide sufficient funds to ensure economic and social development. In addition to Xiancheng's plate, as of now, after excluding the income of 1523 billion yuan from the upper level, the general public budget revenue is about 1765 billion yuan. This is the statistics released to the public, plus the higher level Subsidy income was 725 billion yuan, general bond on-lending income was 325 billion yuan, 65 billion yuan was carried forward from the previous year, transferred funds and used budget stabilization funds were 255 billion yuan, and the total income was 3135 billion yuan. The actual expenditure was about 1415 billion yuan, Mainly due to the rapid increase in medical care, education, and urban construction costs. The current fiscal balance is 1720 billion yuan, but by the end of the year, a batch of project funds, special business funds, salary bonuses, etc. will be paid in a concentrated manner, and the debts of Xiancheng City will be cleared. I roughly forget it For a while, there must be hundreds of billions, mainly because the secretary requires that there should be no defaults.

The government debt is about 1300 billion yuan. After the general debt of Xiancheng City is cleared, it will be a special bond, and the repayment period is still very long. "

Even Wang Hongtao was a little surprised, and said: "The income in December is not counted. I know very well that the settlement of many enterprises and projects is at the end of the year. December is a month of explosion. Our finances have indeed made history. Great results! Mayor, can I understand this? The municipal level can use 12 billion funds to develop Chang'an? Oh, I forgot, there is still 12 trillion special funds for the merger of the two cities, although the provincial The money will be divided into several years, but together with the supplementary funds, at least 1000 billion can be obtained, right? You can also take part of it for projects, as long as the infrastructure construction and industrial development for the merger of the two cities are used in the direction of use .”

Hu Hao finally couldn't bear to ask: "Secretary, what earth-shattering thing do you want to do? Tell me clearly, I'm in a panic right now, if I die, let me die!"

After working together for one year, Hu Hao knows very well that the secretary basically doesn’t care about financial affairs, and the government’s work is only to control the general direction, focus on project introduction, and don’t care much about investment. It can be said that the delegation of power has been pushed to the limit. This made Hu Hao admire and respect him very much.But every time I ask questions, it must be a major event. For example, the new policy of medical reform and the two-year construction to make up for shortcomings are frightening. decision.This time, the cloud is in the fog, and the situation is even more frightening. Will the little money I have saved so hard be wiped out?

Wang Hongtao was full of calculations, how much money could he use, 1000 billion?Or 1500 billion?The maximum is no more than 2000 billion, right?Want to owe some debt?"Grind" some funds back with the superior?

Both of them were thinking about the little things in their hearts. After the meeting, Wang Hongtao said: "Mayor, I really want to make a big move, which may empty out the finances, but if it is done, we will definitely become heroes of Chang'an, even better than Free medical care has great influence, and it really benefits future generations. I think that no matter how much money is spent, the city's cadres and masses will support it."

Hu Hao said anxiously: "Secretary, what's the matter? Don't torture me!"

Wang Hongtao said with a smile: "I want to engage in education!"

Oh, it turns out that it is for education, how much money can it cost?It is nothing more than building a few schools, introducing some famous teachers, recruiting some teachers, and at most introducing some incentives, which have cost more than a billion to billions. This is "drizzle" and "sprinkling water" for Chang'an today!

"A century-old plan, education comes first. Of course I support education. What's the secretary's idea?"

Wang Hongtao opened his notebook and said: "Education is the foundation of a century-old plan. The prosperity of education leads to the prosperity of the country, and the strength of education makes the country strong. Education is an important cornerstone of national rejuvenation and social progress. , I have been planning the education work in Chang’an City. Let’s talk about early childhood education. Together with the original Xiancheng City, this year, the city has identified a total of 696 inclusive private kindergartens. Up to now, there are 1335 inclusive kindergartens, and the children in the kindergartens are about There are 26.7 people, and inclusive kindergartens account for 75% of all kindergartens. In this regard, I plan to achieve full coverage of public kindergartens within two years, so that everyone can have public kindergartens, and effectively reduce the burden on parents. As far as I know, there are quite a few kindergartens with several thousand yuan a month. Many children choose to go to private kindergartens because they cannot enter public kindergartens. You can enter the nearest kindergarten. Of course, we don’t care about rich parents, private kindergartens are allowed, and the subsidies that should be given will continue to be given.”

Hu Hao roughly calculated that at least hundreds or hundreds of kindergartens would have to be rebuilt or built, and thousands of new kindergarten teachers would have to be hired. It is estimated that the figure will be several billion, and there will be a lot of new financial expenditures every year, but it can support It's okay, it's not a big problem, so I nodded in agreement.

Wang Hongtao continued: "Tell me about primary schools. After the merger of the two cities, with the sharp increase in population this year, the Education Bureau gave me a total of 1615 schools with 110 million students. This is a huge number. Now we are facing What’s worse is the serious shortage of academic qualifications. Some classes have more than 70 students. You can imagine how crowded a small classroom is. Some teachers lead two classes. How heavy is their burden? Correcting 150 homework every day Well, it’s good to manage discipline well, but where’s the energy to focus on quality? This phenomenon needs to be reversed quickly. Moreover, it’s said that the ‘degree’ of a private primary school was fired to 30, but that’s 30. It’s just a primary school degree. In order for their children to enjoy better and higher-quality educational resources, many families sell iron and steel, and even borrow money to buy degrees. It shows how much parents attach importance to their children's education, and it also shows the shortage of high-quality teaching resources in Chang'an. The fairness of educational resources is not It can be done in a short while, but we have to ensure that every elementary school student in compulsory education can go to school, go to public schools, and go to normal classes. Say, 110 million degrees in public schools!"

Now, Hu Hao is a little uneasy. It is easier said than done. It is more expensive than kindergartens. Building and renovating a large number of schools requires site selection and demolition, which is also a lot of support.

But Wang Hongtao thought about this problem, and said: "The city plans to clear urban villages and shantytowns within two years. The monetary compensation accounts for more than 70%, and it will get a lot of construction land. We give priority to using these lands to build schools, parks, and urban areas. Urban infrastructure, building schools is the priority, real estate is the last option, I don’t think Chang’an needs to rely on buying land to support it now!”

Hu Hao nodded, and made up his mind and said: "I listened to the secretary. If a century-old plan is not to put education first, you can't do it with your mouth. If you don't spend real money, you can't accomplish anything. Just follow the secretary's instructions! But there is one thing. Doubts, is it necessary to achieve 110 million primary school places? After all, private schools in Chang’an are well run and large in size, which can be combined with public and private schools.”

Wang Hongtao shook his head and said: "Private schools are for rich people, and it is our government's responsibility to have enough degrees. In the city, I will give you an idea to vigorously implement private transfers, especially for major schools and education groups. All private schools in the city will be converted from private to public within two years, and all qualified private schools in the city will be transferred from private to public one after another. Starting from this year, no more private schools will be approved. In a word, within five years, all private schools affiliated with public schools will All primary and secondary schools will be cancelled. The methods of cancellation are: first, to voluntarily convert to a public school; second, to buy out the government with money; Both: independent school running, independent finance, independent enrollment, independent recruitment of teachers, independent administrative management, independent teaching and research.”

Hu Hao was a little puzzled, and raised a rare objection: "Secretary, I think private schools are a powerful supplement to public schools. Why should we restrict or prohibit them?"

Wang Hongtao explained patiently: "At present, many famous private schools actually rely on a lot of public school resources. It presents a very chaotic situation. To say relying on it is actually a nice way of saying it. More bluntly speaking, over the years, good public schools have , using their own fame to take the lead. Therefore, they set up a group and a private school to recruit students. Due to the participation of capital, private primary and secondary schools in various places have a very deep background and a great background. After the results are obtained, the rise Tuition fees or selling places to earn money! Even, some leaders of public schools set up private primary and secondary schools privately. While serving as the principal of a public school, they also have a private school at home. The left hand is doing business and the right is doing private things. Both hands must be grasped ; Can this kind of school be able to do both? The fact is that the public is often soft and the private is hard.

It is these nondescript private primary and secondary schools that have viciously competed for a long time.A profit-oriented school must value profit.How can we maximize the benefits?There must be high-quality students!How can we win high-quality students?Must pursue the so-called good grades!How can students get good grades?Find good teachers everywhere.

Private schools only focus on the results of running schools for profit, which will inevitably disrupt the normal competition in education.It was supposed to be the most conscientious career, but it had to be roasted on the pyre of profit every day.Sooner or later, it will be roasted into a anxious heart, a black heart, and an unscrupulous educational heart.
