Just when the head teacher was feeling grief-stricken, Jiang Tian had quickly integrated into the small group of girls in Class 1, Grade 2.

The reason is very simple: everyone already knows that she is the part-time admissions director of "Xiangjun Vocational School"!

In other words, if they fail to get into high school in the future, by establishing a good relationship with the director of the vocational school admissions office in advance, wouldn't they be able to enter the vocational school directly in the future?

Jiang Tian told me that some of the popular majors in their vocational school are also "commissioned training positions" provided by enterprises.

What is “commissioned training”?

Some private enterprises, which are unable to recruit college and junior college students, set up a special major in vocational schools. The students in this major are the talents trained by the schools on behalf of the enterprise.

As long as these students study hard and complete their studies successfully according to the school requirements, they can immediately enter factories and enterprises to work after graduation.

Wow~ Isn’t this equivalent to “guaranteed allocation”?

Overnight, Jiang Tian changed from "Tian Tian" to "Director He".

When processing the transfer procedures, Principal Yao heard that Jiang Tian's name on the household registration book had been changed after being adopted by the He family, so he asked Jiang Tian to change his academic information under the name "He Tiantian".

In this way, when admitting students to high school or university in the future, when the school checks the household registration, there is no need to go to the police station to get an additional certificate to prove that "Jiang Tian" is "He Tiantian".

I heard that "Director He" is now in charge of the enrollment of Xiangjun Vocational School. Not only Class 1 of Grade 2, but also many students with the lowest grades in the neighboring Class 2 and Class 3 have secretly run to Class 1 to ask He Tiantian how to register for the vocational school and how much the tuition is.

For a while, the back row of Class 1, Grade 2, was turned into a temporary consultation point for the admissions office of the Xiangjun Vocational School at Caoding Middle School.

"Will you recruit people without a junior high school diploma?"

"Yes! Anyone who has completed the three-year junior high school curriculum can apply for admission, regardless of whether or not they have obtained a diploma."

"How much is the tuition?"

"It's not expensive. The tuition for one semester is only fifty dollars. Add in various accommodation fees, book fees, and food expenses. If you save a little, the cost for one semester is just over two hundred dollars."

"So expensive?" The students were shocked.

Director He smiled like a little fox preparing to steal a chicken. She took out a piece of draft paper and calculated an account for the student who came to her for consultation.

"Although our vocational school costs a lot, if you go to high school, the cost is about the same as that of a vocational school."

"And our school has many subsidy policies."

"For example, if your family is poor and can't afford the tuition and fees, you can go to the village to get a certificate of poverty-stricken students, and then you can apply for our scholarships or student loans."

"The scholarship has academic requirements. If you rank in the top ten in the class in the final exam, your tuition will be halved. If you rank in the top three in the class, your tuition will be waived. You have to wait one semester before applying based on your final exam results for the previous semester."

"If you are too late and your family really has no money to pay tuition, you can apply for a student loan from our school."

"The loan application is also simple. You need to go to the village to get a poverty certificate first, then find the class teacher to fill out an application form, and you can apply for a one-year interest-free loan."

"That is to say, if you don't have money to pay tuition at the beginning of the semester, you can apply for a student loan and borrow money from the school to pay tuition. As long as you pay back the money within one year, the school won't charge any interest."

"If it exceeds one year, you will have to pay interest to the school according to the bank's one-year deposit rate."

"But don't worry that your family won't be able to pay back the money. Why do so many people sign up for our military vocational school? It's mainly because our school offers many work-study positions for students."

"Many students not only earned back their tuition fees through part-time work in their first year, but also saved a lot of money."

"Director He" told the students about the work-study experience of a girl in a vocational school.

This girl also failed the high school entrance exam. Her family originally wanted her to go home and help her brother and sister-in-law take care of their children for two years, so that she could go on a blind date and get married when she was older.

She didn't want to get married so early, so she signed up for a vocational school.

When her parents saw that their daughter was disobedient, they threatened her, saying that if she didn't listen to her family, she would never be able to ask for money for tuition.

Since you can’t afford the tuition, will the vocational school still accept you?

Of course Director He will accept it.

Not only did she accept this student, she also allowed her to apply for a student loan.

This girl had originally thought of finding a job washing dishes in a restaurant during the holidays to save money for tuition, but unexpectedly, not long after she enrolled, her homeroom teacher found her and told her that the school would give priority to providing part-time jobs for students like her who were in financial difficulties, and asked her if she wanted to apply for one.

Yes! Of course!

So, less than a month after entering school, the girl went to work in the garment factory run by Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu.

At the beginning, I could only follow the master chef and help cut thread ends, move materials and so on.

Later, I started to use the sewing machine and make clothes under the guidance of the master craftsman.

While other students in the class were still learning how to cut fabrics, she was already able to cut and sew a piece of clothing independently.

During the first three months of part-time work, girls only received a work-study allowance of 20 yuan per month.

Three months later, the girls were able to receive piece-rate wages from the garment factory.

In addition, during the winter vacation, the garment factory had a large shipment volume, so in the half month before the New Year, the girls earned more than 100 yuan in piecework wages alone.

"Look, for the first semester, this girl's tuition and accommodation fees totaled 185 yuan."

"But she ranked second in the class in the final exam, so her tuition was waived, which means she only spent 135 yuan this semester."

"Look at how much she made in one semester. She worked as an apprentice for the first three months, 20 yuan a month, which is 60 yuan for three months. In the last two months, she was paid 270 yuan by piecework. Add it all up, she made 330 yuan in one semester."

"After deducting the 135 yuan tuition and miscellaneous fees, this girl studied at our vocational school for half a year and not only did she not spend any money, she also earned 195 yuan."

"Wow! I can make money by going to school?" The whole class was excited.

Now, not to mention the poor students in the back row, even the top students in the front row couldn't help but move over quietly.

Well, although their grades in the class are pretty good, as long as they are not ranked in the top 50 in the school, no one knows whether they can be admitted to regular high schools.

If they really fail the exam and their family doesn't have the money to let them repeat the year, it would be better for them to enroll in a vocational school.

Think about it, if someone can earn two hundred yuan in a semester, wouldn’t that mean he can earn four hundred yuan a year?

I heard that vocational schools, like junior high schools, are three-year programs. Excluding the six-month internship period at the end, there are two and a half years left. In addition to learning a skill, you can also earn a thousand yuan by working and studying. Isn't this much better than being an apprentice?

I heard that those who learn a craft from a master not only don’t get a penny for the first three years, but also have to work like slaves for their master and fellow apprentices. Only after they have endured this can they learn real skills.

Thinking about it this way, it would be better to go to vocational school.
