Chapter 374 School Uniform Issue
A month passed quickly, and most areas had paid the full amount for changing the nature of the land.
As for the remaining small number of enterprises that have not yet been supplemented, even before Tian Guofu, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, took personal action, various cities and counties took action on their own initiative and actively carried out related work.
On the one hand, it is because Qi Tongwei’s deterrent power is too great, and everyone is worried about being held accountable, so they are very happy to use money to resolve the matter.
The second reason is interests. The financial situation of many local governments is very bad. When there is a chance to increase financial funds, they will not miss such a good opportunity.
For them, even if they offend the company, there is Qi Tongwei watching over them, so what is there to be afraid of?
Except for Tian Guofu himself, everyone else was very satisfied with the result, including Qi Tongwei.
For Qi Tongwei, as long as he can successfully achieve his desired goal, the method doesn't matter.
At the same time, Lu Tao further intensified his investigation into Shanshui Group.
During this process, Lu Tao will naturally meet Hou Liangping and others.
As for what the final outcome will be, it is still difficult to predict at the moment, and we can only wait and see how the situation develops to reveal the answer.
On the other hand, Qi Tongwei first turned his attention to the field of education.
As we all know, education has always been a key link in national construction. It is related to whether a nation can prosper and develop. Its importance is self-evident.
Therefore, it is never too much to attach importance to education.
Prior to this, Qi Tongwei had personally presided over the rectification of the education system across the country, and had indeed achieved certain results.
It not only effectively regulates the code of conduct of educators, but also significantly improves the atmosphere of the entire education industry.
However, these achievements are still far from the grand goals that he truly desires to achieve deep in his heart.
Especially after an in-depth communication with his nephew not long ago, he became more deeply aware that there are still many difficult problems that need to be solved on campus today.
The first issue to be addressed is the school uniform issue, followed by the quality assurance of students' nutritious meals.
Take school uniforms for example. A school needs to prepare three sets of school uniforms for spring, summer, autumn and winter, one set for spring and autumn, one set for summer and one set for winter. Each set of school uniforms costs several hundred yuan.
The cost of school uniforms alone is thousands of dollars a year.
Adolescents grow very fast, and often the school uniforms of one year cannot be used the next year, which causes great difficulties for some families.
According to my nephew, some children in their class do not have money to buy new school uniforms, and there are many who wear school uniforms that are shorter than themselves. This is not only not conducive to the children's development, but also to their healthy development.
Qi Tongwei believes that this phenomenon must be rectified and school uniforms must not be allowed to become a tool for some people to make money.
To this end, he specifically sought out Deputy Governor Hou Haili, who is in charge of education, and Director Zhang Jinyuan of the Education Department and Director Gao Yanming of the Finance Department to discuss solutions to this problem.
Qi Tongwei is a decisive man. When the three came to Qi Tongwei's office.
He pointed out directly the chaos in the current school uniform market and emphasized the burden this phenomenon imposes on students and parents as well as the possible adverse effects it may bring.
Hou Haili responded with difficulty: "Secretary Qi, the situation you described does exist, but we don't have a good solution.
At present, education funds are not that abundant. It is difficult to buy school uniforms for children for free, unless the government increases subsidies for education. "
"Secretary Qi, although our Handong's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, it has also received a lot of support and we really can't come up with too much money," Gao Yanming said hurriedly.
After listening to this, Qi Tongwei shook his head and said that there was no need to use financial funds to solve this problem.
He then elaborated on his idea: "My idea is for the Finance Department and the Education Department to jointly organize an open bidding activity.
After strict screening, three to five clothing companies with good reputation and strength are designated to be responsible for the production of school uniforms.
In this way, not only can the quality of school uniforms be guaranteed, but a competitive mechanism can also be introduced to reduce production costs.
From now on, the school uniforms of all schools in Handong Province will be produced by these winning companies and then purchased by parents themselves.
As long as we can control costs reasonably, I believe it is entirely possible to reduce the price of a set of school uniforms to less than 100 yuan."
However, Zhang Jinyuan raised a concern after hearing this: "Secretary Qi, if we implement your plan, won't it be difficult to distinguish between the schools?
After all, everyone is wearing school uniforms produced by the same companies.”
Qi Tongwei smiled and answered confidently: "It's very simple! Although the style and manufacturer of the school uniforms are the same, we can start with details such as color and logo to make some differentiated designs.
For example, you can customize a unique school emblem or logo pattern for each school based on the unique culture or regional characteristics of each school, and use specific color combinations.
This way, we can maintain the overall unity while reflecting the unique style of each school.”
"This is indeed feasible, but it also requires increased supervision of several school uniform companies to prevent them from raising prices arbitrarily or selling inferior products as good ones." Hou Haili expressed his concerns.
Qi Tongwei nodded and said, "That's true. Let's put it this way. All school uniform prices must be approved by the Price Certification Center and must be in line with market value.
As for quality issues, the Education Department has set up a reporting channel. Once it is found that a school uniform company produces school uniforms with quality problems, the Education Department will coordinate and the Market Supervision Bureau will come forward to punish these companies. "
Before the two of them could speak, Qi Tongwei said, "Regarding the issue of school uniforms, the three of you should study it carefully after you go down. I have only one principle, which is not to add burden to parents and children.
The goal is to make sure children are well dressed and save money at the same time.
Your role is to eliminate those who take kickbacks and return the price of school uniforms to the market.”
Hou Haili and the other two hurriedly agreed. With Qi Tongwei setting the tone for them, the following things became much simpler.
Qi Tongwei then moved on to the next topic, which was nutritious meals.
"Director Gao, can you tell me briefly about the regulations of our financial department on nutritious meals?" Qi Tongwei asked.
He heard his nephew Qi Xiaofeng complain some time ago that the food in the school cafeteria was really terrible. In his words, it was food that could be fed to pigs and was not meant to be eaten by humans at all.
Qi Tongwei specifically asked him, and according to his nephew, each of them paid 40 yuan a day, and each student paid 4000 yuan for meals per semester.
Qi Xiaofeng goes to school in the county town where the cost of living is not high. Normally, 40 yuan a day for food is already very high, but the children eat very poorly.
Therefore, he specifically mentioned this issue today, that is, he is preparing to carry out a special rectification campaign on nutritious meals across the province to effectively solve the children's nutritional meal problems.
