At present, Li Jiru, a community cadre who has never been confused, has two college students: her son and her; One has just been admitted to the university, and the other has successfully obtained the diploma.
It turned out that in the spring of 2015, the Organization Department of Huangzhong County Committee of Xining City cooperated with Qinghai Radio and TV University, and 77 rural community cadres in the county, including Li Jiru, were admitted to the junior college class to upgrade their academic qualifications and received a two-and-a-half-year rural administrative management professional junior college education, which was the first in Qinghai Province.
Why did the village cadres go to the ivory tower for further study? What did you learn? What’s the use? Near the graduation season, we approached this group of special college students and listened to the collision and sentiment from the front line.
Lijiashan town najia village
A 17-point "failed student"
After some twists and turns on the mountain road, in late June, the reporter came to Lijiashan Town, 50 kilometers away from Huangzhong County. In the village Committee of Najia Village, Na Jinliang, a 44-year-old village party secretary, is sitting in front of the computer "fiddling". Outside the house, in the 2300-mu plateau potato field, red and white flowers have just blossomed among the green seedlings, and the growth is gratifying. "This is called the potato flowering peony!"
Poor mountain villages that were once remote and isolated also began to "touch the net". "I pulled the first broadband for the two committees of the village, and the potato will be sold on the e-commerce platform after the harvest in November." Lao Na told reporters frankly, "This is all by the junior college class ‘ Stimulate ’ Yes! "
In the spring of 2015, the junior college class enrolled students. "The organization department asked me to send the registration information by email." At that time, Lao Na was confused. "What is email?"
The bigger stimulus is behind: computer class, the first exam, 17 points; Make-up exam, 34 points. Lao Na felt: "Village cadres like me should be eliminated."
"Located in the transition zone between the northwest Loess Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the county is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and its development is relatively backward. Most rural community cadres of the two committees have a weak cultural foundation and their professional quality needs to be improved urgently." Feng Yuanzhi, director of the organization department of Huangzhong County Committee, gave reporters a statistical table of the cadres of the two committees selected in 380 administrative villages in the county in 2014. The data shows that there are more than 2,900 village cadres of the two committees, with an average age of nearly 50, and less than 3% of them have a college degree or above.
"The county organized village cadres to study in Wuxi rural areas, and everyone was deeply touched." Zhang Kui, deputy director of the Organization Department of Huangzhong County Committee, told reporters that the natural conditions of individual local mountain villages are not even comparable to ours, but they rely on the development of bonsai cultivation to increase the income of the masses. "The village cadres in Huangzhong all feel that people are actively looking for food, and we are waiting for food."
In view of this, in order to improve the construction level of grass-roots organizations and the overall quality of cadres, and create a group of innovative rural leaders who are good at learning, have broad horizons and can get rich, the organization department of Huangzhong County Committee cooperates with Qinghai Radio and Television University, and Huangzhong County Radio and Television University undertakes to open a junior college class for upgrading the academic qualifications of rural community cadres in Huangzhong County … …
County TV University
College classes are not "guaranteed classes"
Stepping into the office of the county TV University, watching the paper "Analysis of the main problems in the reform of rural administrative management system" being bound, Li Jiru, a member of Jinta Community, breathed a sigh of relief to the reporter. "It was revised seven times before and after!"
School-land cooperation, rigorous procedures: the junior college class of village cadres in Huangzhong recruits students for the cadres of the two committees in rural communities in the county. "Applicants need to have high school and technical secondary school education, and those who are particularly outstanding or have made outstanding contributions can be relaxed to junior high school," Zhang Kui told reporters. A total of 77 students were enrolled in the first phase, including village party secretaries, village directors, accountants and community cadres.
Qi Zhuoma, director of the office of Huangzhong County Radio and TV University, introduced that the academic system of the junior college class is two and a half years, and the major is rural administration. "The courses offered are very practical, including rural policies and regulations, land use planning, tax basis, etc., with a total of 19 compulsory courses and 44 credits. The combination of centralized teaching, individual self-study and online learning is adopted, and the examinations are arranged by the school."
Li Jiru, 43, admitted to the reporter that her credit score was in the middle and lower reaches in the first semester. "Later, I found that the course content was very practical and closely combined with my daily work, so I started to study psychiatry. If I didn’t understand it, I had to ask my son who was in high school." As a result, she was "killed" in the second semester and ranked in the top three in the class after the third semester. "Market research and business situation prediction were the best."
Na Jinliang, who failed the subject twice, even went to her sister’s house, who was married to a foreign county and became a teacher, to "catch up" with computer information technology. "We can’t be obsolete products of the times!" The third exam, finally successfully "won"! Nowadays, the agricultural products of the village are sold online, and the former "hanging students" have turned into e-commerce experts.
"Students from the grass-roots level cherish such learning opportunities, and they keep asking questions in class to make the teachers faster ‘ I’m bored to death ’ ！” Tian Guanghong, a teacher of Huangzhong Radio and TV University and the head teacher of the first batch of 77 students, said with a smile to the reporter, "Put the teacher ‘ Bored to death ’ Well, in the future, we can take the masses for development! "
Strict study is more strict: at the end of June this year, the junior college class ushered in the graduation season. Of the 77 students, 69 successfully received the graduation certificate, and 8 people failed to complete their studies because of various reasons such as failing the course, so they could only keep their student status and postpone graduation, accounting for more than 10%.
Lushaer town Heping community
"What is more precious than a diploma is vision."
How do women safeguard their rights and resolve conflicts? In a few words, Xie Yongwen convinced Chen and his wife in the community and turned around and went home. "The junior college class has gone to school with policies and regulations, otherwise residents will have to catch something when they come to the door."
As the deputy director of lushaer town Heping Community, Xie Yongwen shed tears when talking about the college diploma she just got: "I used to be a laid-off worker, and I have been working in the community for 14 years." She looked up and was quick to talk. "Now, we grassroots cadres have become college students, and we feel that our thinking is more active than before, and our words are more car-scrapping. What is more expensive than a diploma is vision! "
"Grass-roots administrative means are not scientific and standardized enough, and government affairs are not open enough, even becoming a mere formality … …” For Li Jiru, the graduation thesis with seven drafts is not only a "graduation ceremony", but also a systematic reflection and reflection on daily work. Ivory tower ’ On the contrary, I thought of many problems that I had not found before, and the improvement work has a clear grasp. "
As the first college student in the family for generations, Qi Yongyan, the village secretary of Hougou Village in Tumenguan Township, was also inspired by the course of rural environmental protection in the junior college class. He quickly mobilized the villagers to renovate the village appearance, plant flowers and grass, and green the village roads, becoming a well-known demonstration model, which not only won the opportunity of the county-wide on-site observation meeting, but also won the approval of the plateau beautiful countryside construction project involving more than 2 million yuan on the spot.
There are ideas for development, and the people get benefits: "We also demonstrate the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicines such as angelica and astragalus. Now the per capita income of villagers is 9,200 yuan, almost double that of three years ago!" Qi Yongyan is full of confidence.
