Chapter 4076: Attending a Class
Su Xinghui still got out of the car and shook hands with Zhang Shouye and others one by one. Zhang Shouye had met Su Xinghui before, and Su Xinghui had a good memory and never forgot what he saw. He reached out his hand, shook hands with Zhang Shouye, and said, "President Zhang, hello!"
Zhang Shouye was somewhat flattered. He didn't expect Su Xinghui to still recognize him. He held Su Xinghui's hand with both hands, shaking it up and down, and said, "Mayor Su, hello! Welcome to our Vocational and Technical College for inspection. You can just call me by my name."
Su Xinghui nodded to him, shook hands with other college leaders one by one, and then didn't take the car again, walking into the school.
The area of Linshan Vocational and Technical College is now a little over one thousand mu, which is not too big. Therefore, even if they walk, it is enough to see the whole school in a short time.
Su Xinghui had never been to Linshan Vocational and Technical College before. This was his first time coming. Today, his impression of this place was quite good, because the greening work here was done quite well. The whole campus was full of green trees and full of vitality.
The buildings here were basically built decades ago. Whether it was Linshan Vocational and Technical College or that factory, they all had a history of decades. These buildings were built of red bricks, had the characteristics of that era, and had the style of the former Soviet Union. The quality was still very good, so they could still be used normally until now.
However, the school was also currently engaged in large-scale construction, and several construction sites were under construction. This should be some teaching buildings, dormitories, and practical training bases newly built after the municipal government allocated funds to Linshan Vocational and Technical College.
Su Xinghui walked on the campus with his hands behind his back, looking at the campus with great interest.
Linshan Vocational and Technical College is on a small hill. In fact, a large area of the entire Linshan City is on the mountains. Of course, these mountains are not high, and the slopes are relatively gentle, so there is no great obstacle to building buildings, but instead, it adds a different flavor to the buildings here.
Su Xinghui had always heard that Linshan Vocational and Technical College was a school with a very poor school style, and the quality of students here was also relatively low. In short, all the negative news he heard was about Linshan Vocational and Technical College. In people's impression, this was a "wild chicken" school.
However, it seems today that this school is not that bad. At least the environment of the campus is quite good. In addition to the good greening, it is also cleaned very cleanly and neatly. On the walls of the campus and the walls of the teaching buildings, there are slogans such as "Unity, Tension, Seriousness, and Liveliness," "Seeking Truth and Pragmatism, Thick Virtue and Diligent Learning," etc., painted with white lime.
Of course, Su Xinghui could also see that all of this seemed to have been prepared temporarily. These trees were temporarily pruned, the ground was just swept, and some slogans seemed to be newly painted.
However, this was not a big deal. It was normal to prepare when leaders came to inspect. Su Xinghui was not so unreasonable as to be nitpicking about this.
At least from these construction sites, Linshan Vocational and Technical College did do a lot of work this year.
Su Xinghui asked what these construction sites were building, and Zhang Shouye introduced them to him one by one. Some of these construction sites were future teaching buildings, some were future dormitories, and some were future practical training bases, as well as laboratories, etc.
In the past, Linshan Vocational and Technical College had no funding for many years. Those funds were not enough for daily expenses and personnel expenses, let alone building buildings or adding machinery and equipment. Therefore, for so many years, Linshan Vocational and Technical College had not added any fixed assets.
Now the municipal government's policy tilted towards the vocational high schools and technical schools in the city, increasing the appropriation for Linshan Vocational and Technical College by several times, and also allocated a large piece of land to them, which allowed them to have money to add fixed assets.
So they started large-scale construction this year, planted many trees, and built several buildings. This was also the requirement of the municipal government, and they must complete it on time.
Su Xinghui asked what majors Linshan Vocational and Technical College currently offered, and Zhang Shouye also introduced them to him. The majors offered by Linshan Vocational and Technical College in the past included machinery, electromechanics, computers, electrical, construction, materials, molds, tourism, hotel management, etc., and they planned to set up some new majors in the future.
Su Xinghui heard that the majors offered by Linshan Vocational and Technical College in the past were quite comprehensive, and many of them involved the manufacturing industry. However, he also knew that the source of students for Linshan Vocational and Technical College was not wide, and the quality of students recruited was not high. In these two aspects, there was still a need for more improvement in the future.
Su Xinghui said, "Then how is your teaching staff now?"
Zhang Shouye said, "This year, our school recruited a batch of new teachers, basically high-end talents with master's degrees or above from famous schools, which is a good supplement to the school's teaching staff. For the original teachers, we will also send them out for training in rotation regularly to improve their quality and ability and carry out teaching work better."
Su Xinghui nodded. The policy of the municipal government for these vocational high schools and technical schools this year included policies to attract such high-end talents, including one-time settlement fees for talent introduction, high salary treatment for these talents, preferential policies for evaluating professional titles, and housing. These preferential policies were undoubtedly attractive to talent. From Zhang Shouye's words, Su Xinghui also heard that the effect of these policies was very good.
If a school wants to develop, relying on hardware conditions alone is far from enough. Even if this school is built well and the environment is beautiful, if there is no excellent talent, it is better to build a park.
Where does excellent talent come from? Relying on the conditions of the original Linshan Vocational and Technical College, I am afraid that those real talents would not even look at them. But now the policies given by the municipal government allow them to attract real talent, which is a very good start and has laid a very good foundation for the Vocational and Technical College.
Su Xinghui said, "Is there a class now?"
Zhang Shouye said, "There is a class now, and it has been more than ten minutes since the class started."
Su Xinghui said, "Then take me to the classroom of a teacher newly recruited this year. I want to listen to his lecture."
Zhang Shouye thought to himself, fortunately he followed Mayor Weng's instructions and was prepared, otherwise it would be troublesome. He said respectfully, "Then you come with me."
Su Xinghui followed Zhang Shouye, went up to a teaching building, and entered a classroom. This was a large classroom that could seat hundreds of people, but now only forty or fifty students were sitting, so several rows of seats in the back were empty. Zhang Shouye led everyone in gently from the back door, sat in the last one or two rows, and listened to the teacher's lecture.
Su Xinghui saw that the person standing on the podium was a relatively young teacher. He was relatively tall but very thin, wearing black-rimmed glasses. He saw Zhang Shouye leading a group of people in, was stunned for a moment, and then began to lecture again.
And these students were all sitting upright, listening intently, which was inconsistent with the rumors about the students of the Vocational and Technical College. Su Xinghui laughed secretly in his heart. These students were too serious. With so many of them coming in, it was inevitable to make some noise, but none of these students turned their heads.
Su Xinghui could see that this was obviously prepared. Su Xinghui estimated that this was Zhang Shouye specially picking dozens of good students and concentrating them here.
However, Su Xinghui did not intend to expose him. The problems of Linshan Vocational and Technical College were not formed in one day and could not be reborn in these few months. After two or three years, if Linshan Vocational and Technical College was still in its previous appearance, then Su Xinghui would not be polite to Zhang Shouye.
Su Xinghui also listened to the lecture intently. This teacher was talking about Java programming technology, which was the most popular programming language today. It could be said to be popular all over the world. This programming technology could write various web programs and programs that run directly in electronic products, which was very convenient and practical.
For example, the Xiaoyao operating system in the most advanced Hanhai mobile phone now has many applications written in Java language, so more and more people are learning Java language now.
