Chapter 150: First Fire—Blade Inward

Lu Fan's first public appearance in the education system caused a heated discussion among the vast number of female teachers, which was unexpected.

Everyone is whispering privately, whoever works hard and takes down the "Big Director" will become the first lady of the education system!

Sure enough, the gossip of leaders is more concerned, and they are always whispering behind their backs, and the director's marriage has become a topic of conversation for everyone after tea and dinner.

After going to work the next day, Lu Fan visited Secretary Gao Yuanfei and County Chief Hu Chengwei one after another, which is called visiting the pier.

Then, he took gifts to the office of the Director of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress. The appointment of government component departments needs to be passed by the People's Congress.

Of course, there is no lack of Secretary Bian Jide. As time goes by, Lu Fan feels more and more that Secretary Bian is like an elder, and getting along is more direct, more casual, and more comfortable.

When chatting, Secretary Bian said bluntly: "The Education Bureau is a 'fat job', mastering many resources, and is a very good platform. You have to have a good relationship with higher-level departments, get more indicators of key middle schools in the province and city for the county, and make good use of these resources. Work will definitely be smooth, and no one can do without education!"

"Old leader's true knowledge and insight, I will work in this direction."

Secretary Bian changed the subject and said: "Little Fan, I have a grassroots teacher in my hand who wants to transfer back to the county."

Lu Fan did not refuse: "Secretary, you just give me the information."

"Do I need to say hello to Zhao Sijie?"

"Don't come forward for the time being. If I can't handle it, I will report to you again."

"Okay, this Zhao Sijie has little selfishness and doesn't care much about these things. When Li Shengjie was the director, he had greater autonomy, mainly implementing the instructions of the secretary and the county chief."

Lu Fan asked curiously: "Secretary, everyone is spreading rumors about County Chief Zhao in that aspect. I don't know if it's true?"

"Rumors stop at the wise. What do you think? From her words and deeds, you can see that she has a good upbringing. I feel it's nonsense. You two cooperate a lot in work, don't look at people with colored glasses, respect leaders, especially in terms of privacy. Even if there is, so what?"

"Secretary, I don't have that meaning, just pure curiosity!"

"Curiosity kills the cat. Put your mind on work. If you have the ability, grasp Ningyang's education well. You are a Ningyang person and a young cadre. Everyone has high hopes for you!"

"Don't worry, Secretary, I dare not say anything else, but for the hometown's education cause, I can definitely do it, sparing no effort until the end!"

Starting from January 3rd, Lu Fan used a week to run around all the middle schools in the county.

Every time he arrived at a school, he first asked the principal how many people were admitted to Yingjiang High School last year, and then jokingly said to the principal that it was all recorded in the book, and the number of people admitted to Yingzhong this year must be improved. You can't dismantle my platform just because I, the director, just took office!

Lu Fan's instructions put great pressure on the principals. After the director left, they immediately convened a third-grade group meeting to pass the pressure on to the teachers.

If you don't understand, learn. Every night, Lu Fan studied the business wholeheartedly, learned and understood the policies, documents, laws, and regulations of the central, provincial, city, and county regarding education, so as to avoid the joke of an outsider leading an insider in work.

Taking advantage of the time Lu Fan was in the unit, Deputy Directors Feng Bo, Chang Qing, and Ren Kun reported their work to Lu Fan one after another. The heads of the bureau office and stations such as Teaching and Research Office Director Wang Kun Cheng, Enrollment Office Director Wang Fei, and Supervision Office Director Shi Hao also reported the whole year's work to Lu Fan, giving Lu Fan a preliminary understanding of the overall work of the Education Bureau.

It was about to be winter vacation, which meant that the year-end assessment of each school started. This is what each school is most concerned about, because the principals who have been at the bottom of the target responsibility assessment for two consecutive years will be dismissed on the spot.

Everyone has been mixed for half a lifetime, and it is not easy to be a principal. In the education industry of a small county, it can be considered to have reached the peak. You can't be beaten into the dust because of a small assessment. Therefore, the principals attach great importance to the assessment and ranking, and come to the bureau to "coordinate" in advance, striving to take down the new director and keep their rice bowls, which can also be considered the largest expenditure of the school.

Thus, Lu Fan experienced the intensive "test" of the principals. Everyone who came in didn't say three sentences before reaching into their pockets and taking out thick envelopes.

These envelopes made Lu Fan very helpless and at the same time felt cold! Will the principals take the money in the envelopes from their own pockets? Naturally, they have to grasp it from the teachers and students. They put their minds on these flies and dogs. Can they cultivate good teachers and good students? What hope does Ningyang's education have?

In view of this situation, Lu Fan specially deployed, and the Ningyang County Education Bureau convened a special meeting on the special rectification activity against unhealthy tendencies.

At the meeting, Education Bureau Director Lu Fan made deployments from three aspects: "why," "what to do," and "how to do it." Aiming at 8 key rectification contents, he wanted to strike hard and focus on rectification in three major aspects.

First, highlight discipline and rules, and grasp the party style and government style.

Require bureau leaders and all teaching staff in the county to strictly observe the red line of political discipline, strictly observe the bottom line of the central eight-point regulations, strictly observe the high-pressure line of power boundaries, and strengthen the standardized management of key areas and key links.

Second, highlight education and teaching, and grasp the teaching style and learning style.

Strictly grasp the problems of inaction and chaos, govern education according to law, and reverse the problem of weak and loose management.

Third, highlight teacher ethics and ability, and grasp the school style and teacher style.

Grasp the behavior of teachers "outside eight hours." For cases of violating regulations, discipline, and law such as yellow and gambling, name and surname report to every teacher, and carry out high-pressure strikes.

Severely investigate and punish "micro-corruption" problems such as illegal tutoring, paid tutoring, and accepting gifts and money from parents for power, and form an atmosphere of "dare not tutor" for illegal tutoring.

Lu Fan pointed out that the special rectification work will run through the whole year's work. Everyone must correctly understand the complexity, long-term nature, and long-term effectiveness of the rectification work, rectify while improving, and improve while perfecting. Insist on advancing in an orderly manner under the leadership of the Education Bureau and strengthen supervision.

Finally, Lu Fan said earnestly to the participants: "A hundred-year plan, education is the foundation. Education is the cornerstone of Ningyang's revitalization and progress, and it is a moral project that benefits the contemporary and the future. Whether Ningyang's education can be improved depends on everyone present!"

"However, as teachers, a large number of black sheep have appeared, doing things that are morally corrupt, losing teacher ethics, and even violating conscience and discipline. Some principals have been reported by three or four female teachers by real name, using their power to do evil in teachers' professional title evaluation and evaluation of excellence, making the school atmosphere corrupt, etc., etc., I won't name them one by one, but things won't pass so lightly!"

"Please don't forget your identity. Can such principals and such teachers teach good students? I hope some people can take the initiative to stand up and admit their mistakes to the organization, strive for lenient treatment, so as not to regret it! Here, I promise to the people of the whole county that for the black sheep in the education system, you can report to me personally. One counts as one, and we must resolutely drive them out of the education front. We must build a clean, healthy, and upward education ecology and run education that the people are satisfied with!"

After Lu Fan's speech was conveyed to various schools, it caused a great response in the education system and even the whole county.

In the teachers' offices of the schools, teachers gathered together to discuss the content of Director Lu's speech enthusiastically, and some even inquired about Lu Fan's mobile phone number, preparing to report by real name.

The first fire after Lu Fan took office as the Education Bureau Director was burned, and it was a raging fire, with the blade inward, pointing directly at the principal group, and at the same time, the passion of the people of the whole county was mobilized.

The masses are watching, looking forward to this big fire bringing some substantial changes to Ningyang's education cause.

Lu Fan knows deeply that education is the country's great plan, and principals, as leaders of schools, shoulder heavy responsibilities. However, in reality, some principals in Ningyang have deviated from the essence of teaching and educating people.

Lu Fan decided to use iron-fisted means to rectify the principal group, which was discovered in his investigation and research on the principals of the whole county, as well as phenomena with strong social response, to the point where it had to be governed.

Soon, the first bird appeared. The principal of New River Town Middle School was reported to the Education Bureau by 8 female teachers, and the principal of Baishu Bay Primary School was reported by many female teachers by real name. In addition to corruption and power-seeking, there were also a large number of male and female unhealthy tendencies.

These two principals took advantage of others, and their professional titles were not evaluated for a long time, making some teachers jealous and causing the school to be in a mess, simply becoming a local joke, but no one cared.

Now, everyone is watching how the new director will handle this matter.

Lu Fan has received many pleading calls in the past few days, all from department leaders who usually come and go.

This is indeed a test for Lu Fan. If these two principals are handled, it is very likely to offend a circle of people, and maybe they will wait for you at that "stumble" in the future and give you a "crotch kick"!

It must be said that the Le family gave Lu Fan a strong ability to resist pressure. I even dare to "calculate" the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, and we are not relatives or friends. Are you still worried about this group of small shrimps?

Thus, after organizing the materials, Lu Fan reported the spotted bad deeds of the two principals to Deputy County Chief Zhao Sijie without hesitation.

County Chief Zhao is a female comrade, and she is even more disdainful of this kind of "seeking power with color" and "seeking color with power" behavior, requiring the Education Bureau to handle it seriously and report to County Chief Hu Chengwei.

Next, Lu Fan reported the situation to Secretary Gao Yuanfei again.

After Gao Yuanfei sought Lu Fan's opinion, he transferred the problem to the County Discipline Inspection Commission, requiring Secretary Luo Linghai to handle it quickly, strictly, and heavily, which can be considered as helping Lu Fan open the situation. ===== CHAPTER 151 =====
