Before making the decision that primary and high school education is free, Dooling also did some research. At present, the total population of ambillo region is about 1.3 million, of which the population of educational age is about 300000.
However, less than one eighth of those who can really receive education, that is, only 30000 or 40000 people are eligible for education, and among these educated people, the number of people receiving advanced education will further decline.
Many families let their children drop out of school after primary school. They don''t even go to high school or primary school. Fewer can go to high school and few can go to college. The lack of educational resources leads to the lack of teachers on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is the contradiction between expenditure and family income.
According to the current imperial education rules, the total cost of a child from primary school to high school to university is about 6000 to 7000 yuan. Before university, that is, from primary school to high school, it needs about 2700 to 3000 yuan.
The per capita income in the ambillo region is relatively low. If ordinary families work for two people, the monthly income of each family ranges from 80 yuan to 100 yuan, which is obviously lower than the wage level of developed cities in the south.
This year, illian''s minimum monthly income has risen to 63 yuan and 70 cents, but it is only between 40 and 50 in ambillo.
Apart from the reasonable expenses necessary for families such as food and clothing, each family can only provide one or two children to complete basic and secondary education at most. When they get to university, most families can''t afford more than 1000 yuan of tuition every year. Therefore, there are only two universities in 11 towns in eight cities in the state, and the universities in the two empires can''t rank first!
Moreover, these figures come from the magic word "per capita".
In order to improve the depth of educational resources and increase the number of school-age population in ambillo, it is imperative to implement free education. The potential of a region mainly comes from the degree of industrialization and education. If durin wants to give a perfect answer in the next eight years, he must increase the proportion of these two aspects!
This will cost a lot of money, but he doesn''t mind. He will issue a series of policies to encourage private capital to invest in education. For example, the funds invested in educational resources can serve as part of the tax. Du Lin himself is a large taxpayer. Of course, this has nothing to do with his promotion of free education, at least he thinks so.
When Dooling shouted for free education, the cowboys in the square were stupid and confused.
Even though this is the most backward and remote part of the Empire, people can still understand how terrible the impact of education on the future of life, and they are constantly showing the gap in this regard.
A person who has only attended primary school can only do the most basic work when he is an adult, and he can only exchange his physical strength for a meager reward.
However, a high-end intellectual who has attended a university and has a degree is very likely to squeeze into the middle class of the society within five to ten years of entering the society.
The income of high-end knowledge talents will be tens or even hundreds of times that of residents who have experienced literacy education and only basic knowledge.
If any family wants to make great changes, the first thing to do is to climb up to a higher social class and upgrade in class, which can make great changes.
If not poor, if not backward, who wants their children to live like dogs in the cold winter or the hot sun, bending over in the farmland, in the pasture and in the mine?
Even more tired than a dog, the food is not as good as a dog!
They just liked Dooling before. Now, they have a firm impulse to support him and vote for him. It can be said to be a belief!
"Mr. durin, I understand what you said about free education, but who will solve the problem?"
It is also normal for someone to raise this question. Any policy will be questioned to a certain extent before it is promulgated and implemented, and it will even take several to dozens of hearings to be determined.
Dissent means that the people have ideas, which is a good thing... Yes, a good thing.
Du Lin smiled and answered the question, "part of the money goes from the finance. If the finance is not allowed to do that..." he paused a little, and many people held their breath. He pointed to the sky again and said loudly in an extremely firm tone, "then I''ll pay the money!"
Wow, the whole square was boiling. Many people couldn''t believe their ears. What did the great Mr. durin say just now? He wanted to pay the money, but did he know how much it was?
Well, in fact, this is also a misunderstanding about free education resources. At present, there are less than 1000 registered and working teachers in the whole western region. Even if there are 10000 of them, increase their total number ten times, and then increase their salary to the normal level, the salary they need to pay is 700000 a month.
In addition to various losses and maintenance costs of various schools, including necessary physical education resources, the monthly expenditure on education is about 1.2 million.
However, please note that this figure is ten times higher. In fact, as far as the current situation in the west is concerned, it is great to spend 100000 yuan a month.
Is this much money?
Not much at all. It''s just that Du Lin pays more than 3 million taxes such as business tax every month in Yilian. With the rapid growth of the TV Group''s business, this figure is likely to exceed 5 million next year.
Move the headquarters of the TV group to ambillo, and then offset the tax with the funds invested in education. Speaking of it, Turin also made money!
But these people in the square don''t know this. Their only idea at this time is that Du Lin is too great!
At this time, an old man on crutches, escorted by several young people, came to the podium. At this time, there really needs to be such an old man. He is definitely not an actor or something. He is a local and has high prestige. When he was young, the old man served as several local sheriffs and did many big things. Some of them have been adapted into scripts and made into films.
He stood under the podium and looked at Turin. The wrinkled and relaxed muscles on his face slipped aside as he looked up. There was a thrilling luster in his turbid eyes. "Mr. Turin, can you promise and promise us that you will fulfill your promise without cheating us?"
Turin raised his hand and looked solemnly at the microphone. At this moment, it seemed that he was the only voice in the whole world, "I swear, in the name of my last name, the former king and the gods, I guarantee that everything I have just said is true. As long as I can become the governor of ambillo, this will be the first regional policy I want to promulgate and will be written into the local law!"
Suddenly, a cowboy took off the shotgun on his back, shot into the sky and shouted "Doolin". The whole square instantly became the world, country and day called "Nian" in Doolin''s dream.
Crackling, the different sounds produced by the firing of various guns continued. People pulled the trigger, whistled or shouted Dooling''s name, rejoicing in what he said and the future that can be expected.
Suddenly, Dooling realized that maybe the previous governors, including the current governors, were not inaction, but they were too afraid of such a scene. There were the most angry cowboys and completely uncontrolled guns. The real rotation here was the flying bullets.
He likes here, likes people''s love for him, and likes the whistle sound when bullets tear up the air. He also believes that here will become a happy land, a real happy land!
This is the West.
This is ambillo!
This is Dooling''s world!
"That''s ridiculous!" the current governor couldn''t help saying this when he heard people describe Dooling''s speech and what happened at the scene.
There is no doubt that for a politician with normal spirit, normal thinking ability and normal three outlooks, his evaluation of Turin is very in place, which is ridiculous.
Is it so simple to provide free education? In fact, the Empire has not considered this problem for so many years, but it can only be left out every time.
Free education will embezzle a lot of government finance, but there is no return. Even the Ministry of education, which was established in two this year, believes that it is not the most appropriate practice to implement free education at this stage, but Dooling actually wants to play this game in the most backward places in the West. Does he think those voters are easy to provoke?
Once he relies on these small hands to get a large number of votes and can''t fulfill his promise after taking office, those simple Cowboys will let him understand that revenge often requires only one gun and two bullets!
As for durin''s attack on him and his predecessors, it is not a problem.
Looking at the face of the timamont family and the interest exchange that had been reached, he didn''t feel at all, even a trace of joy.
His secretary looked at his "boss" and smiled inexplicably. He couldn''t help reminding him, "do you want to say hello to Doolin and let him avoid you when attacking the state government and the city hall below?"
The governor smiled and shook his head. "There''s no need. The higher he holds himself, the more painful he will fall in the future. Our great leader, Mr. MARGES, may have lost his eyes this time!"
Magus, who has always embodied the characteristics of "stability", actually recruited such a radical niece and son-in-law as Dooling, which is really out of standard.
Thinking of leaving this damn place to a developed city soon, the governor looked at his watch and said hello to the Secretary, "wake me up 15 minutes before work and I''ll sleep for a while!"
