Awakening ability

Chapter 216 Training
Fang Hao thought for a long time, and finally decided not to provoke the authority of the Xuandu faction for the time being, so that gunpowder should not be produced.

When encountering difficult construction areas, he can do it himself.

A Jindan cultivator can still cause a certain degree of damage to the landscape by using the best magic weapon.

The effect is no worse than gunpowder.

Sometimes this is the case. There are obviously better solutions, but out of practical considerations, I have to give up.

The training of the workers was completed in just one month.

After all, there is not much improvement, but some small changes have been made on the existing technical level, which is easier to understand.

The most difficult part of the training is the training of teachers from the education group.

If you want to do a good job in education, you must have a huge team of teachers.

Even if it is only a pilot project in the disaster area at the beginning, the required team of teachers is quite large.

The main reason why Fang Hao wants to carry out the pilot project is that there are not so many teachers, and there is no condition to spread it across the country, so he can only carry out a small-scale pilot project.

His expectation is to train thousands of qualified elementary school teachers in three to five years, and then start formal education work.

He has already transcribed the elementary school textbooks during this period, in simplified characters, with three courses of Chinese, mathematics, and labor, tentatively scheduled to be a four-year schooling system.

Because it is aimed at ordinary people at the bottom, and the purpose is not to make them become literati, but to become skilled workers. There is not much emphasis on the writing, and they are all in vernacular.

The Chinese textbooks are written by the Tai students of the Education Group, from the first grade to the fourth grade, gradually deepening from the simplest, but not demanding how difficult it is.

Easy to understand, it is the writing strategy formulated by Fang Hao.

For Chinese textbooks, his requirement is that after four years of education, students can master the use of two or three thousand characters, so that they can meet their daily needs.

In terms of mathematics, the mathematics education in Taiqiu Kingdom is not taken seriously, unless they specialize in the study of mathematics, the general level is the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and they will not be able to do more complicated calculations.

This is definitely not possible.

So Fang Hao came to formulate the mathematics textbooks himself, made minor changes to the mathematics of Huaxia Primary School, and compressed them into the four-year textbooks.

As for labor, it is all kinds of small labor skills.

For the working people in this era of Taiqiu, the small labor skills in the labor book are quite practical, and many working people do not have such skills.

This isn't just for elementary school kids.

Of course, Fang Hao also wrote the labor book, choosing some things that can be done without complicated tools.

In the third and fourth grade labor books, some small scientific knowledge is stuffed in to lay the foundation for the next step of education.

After elementary school is middle school, but that is a relatively distant thing, and now Fang Hao can't do that.

Let’s train primary school teachers first.

At the beginning of the establishment of the education group, the office was located in the National Teacher's Mansion.

However, Fang Hao has already bought a large piece of land in the capital, which has become the base of the education group, and plans to build a university town there in ten years.

There must be at least one university of science and technology, one normal university, and one scientific research center.

Currently under construction is a teacher training college, where the future offices of the Education Group will also be located.

Fang Hao has to make plans for the future if he is not in Taiqiu country, so the office of the education group cannot be located in the National Teacher's Mansion, and must be independent.

Now that the Normal College is still under construction, Fang Hao can only train those future teachers in the National Teacher's Mansion.

The education group has recruited a lot of scholars.

It doesn't matter how talented they are, as long as they can recognize words and pass the level of comprehension, they can become the objects of training.

During the training period, the group will provide them with food and accommodation, and will also give them a living allowance of one tael a month.

After passing the training, as long as they take up the post of teachers, they can get a monthly salary of five taels of silver.

This salary is already relatively high, much higher than that of those scholars who are private school teachers.

Although I knew that I might go to the far south to be a teacher, there were also a lot of scholars who came to apply.

There are many scholars in the capital, and most of them can't even find a job as a private school teacher, and they haven't learned the skills to make a living. It can be said that they are useless.

To have such an opportunity, many people do not want to miss it.

Food and lodging included is attractive enough, not to mention pocket money of one tael a month.

As for the salary of five taels of silver per month after passing the training, that is even more of a dream salary.

After a round of written examinations, two to three hundred scholars entered the education group.

Fang Hao had to teach them how to understand the compiled elementary school textbooks and how to teach those elementary school students.

These scholars have some deep-rooted ideas that are difficult to reverse, but they must be reversed.

Fang Hao wants them to understand that what they want to teach is not the talents who are officials, but the talents who work.

This point is easy to say, but it is not easy for those scholars who have been studying to become officials all their lives to accept it.

Fang Hao has to spend a lot of effort to correct their misunderstandings and change the inertia of their thinking.

He has no time to train his own teaching staff from scratch, so he can only let these scholars with a certain level of education become monks halfway through, and become the leaders of new education.

Relatively speaking, it is much easier to train these adult scholars with certain knowledge than to train those children who do not know a single word.

As for the inertia of their thinking, if they can be corrected, they should be corrected as much as possible, if they cannot be corrected, they can only be eliminated by time.

Even these unfamiliar semi-finished products are necessary in the process of the development of the times.

There is no way to skip this step.

The students from the education group have been with Fang Hao for a little longer, so at least they can understand some of Fang Hao's ideas, and they themselves are the best scholars in the capital, so they are more capable of accepting new things.

In terms of teacher training, they also gave Fang Hao a lot of help.

Without the existence of these backbone members, it would take Fang Hao alone to train two to three hundred primary school teachers, and it would take no idea how long it would take.

Two to three hundred primary school teachers are just the first step in their teacher training plan.

After they are trained, the first thing they need to do is not to go to the disaster-stricken pilot areas to be teachers, but to stay in the capital and teach the second batch of teachers in the Teachers College.

The area designated as an education pilot involves more than 30 counties in five provinces. Every village in that area has a school. Even if a school has only one teacher, it would require thousands of teachers.

What's more, one teacher in a school can't take care of it at all.

The shortage of teachers has been huge from the very beginning.
