In the past society, people of insight, dignitaries and private schools all trained elite talents for their families and their own classes, and some even directly served social welfare undertakings, without the initial intention of seeking personal gain through education. The most famous is Xu Teli, who raised funds to run schools everywhere through his great popularity. In his heyday, it is said that he managed half the schools in Changsha, Hunan. Chen Jiageng, a famous patriotic overseas Chinese leader, founded Xiamen University, donated money for education for a long time, and devoted almost his life to the education of the motherland. They are compassionate, love education, do things without expecting anything in return, and truly reach the lofty realm of "holding a heart without a blade of grass".
Since the reform and opening up, the state has allowed private capital to enter the education industry to supplement the lack of investment in education. For decades, the scale of private capital's participation in education has been increasing, from pre-school kindergartens to universities. The booming trend provides more choices and convenience for parents and children to learn.
In real life, people have a lot of criticisms about the industrialization of education. Going to kindergarten is more expensive than going to college. The state stipulates that private kindergartens can only account for 15%, while the situation in our place is 85%, which is upside down. There used to be 10 schools in high school education in our county, but now six schools have been demolished. The number of private high schools has increased to four, and the scale of each school is getting bigger and bigger, and the enrollment has increased year by year, which is almost the same as that of public schools.
Private schools occupy public education indicators, which makes ordinary children have to face, increasing their cost of studying, and some children from poor families can do nothing. In order to improve the quality of education, some private schools take shortcuts and rely on crooked ways, which seriously interferes with the fair order of education.
The state should introduce policies as soon as possible to standardize education and curb the proliferation of educational industrialization. Mercenary private education and various training institutions have brought disaster to the country and the people, leaving a lasting legacy.
