Wang Xiuli's character story.

—— Wang Xiuli, Director of the Municipal Vocational and Technical Education Center

In the early morning, on the campus of Zhangjiakou Vocational and Technical Education Center, President Wang Xiuli appeared as early as ever, passing by one classroom after another and stopping to inspect ... This is a habit that she has never changed since she taught for more than 40 years. Whenever she sees those youthful faces, she can't help smiling.

From 19 years old to this year's holiday, this school bears too many Wang Xiuli feelings: dreams, struggles, hardships and happiness ... During 16' s principal career, Wang Xiuli, her team and her teachers traveled all over the country, studying, inspecting, running enterprises, running projects and running policies, running millions of kilometers in total and covering more than 40 cities. 16 years, this vocational school in the mountain city beyond the Great Wall has completed a perfect transformation and bloomed brilliantly.

Ideas determine the way out.

1972, Wang Xiuli, who was only 19 years old, stood on the three-foot platform and became a political teacher in the municipal vocational education center. Since then, she has never left this vocational school for more than 40 years.

Around 1997, the country's economic system reform continued to deepen, and many factors, such as industrial restructuring, severe employment situation, insecure distribution of colleges and universities, enrollment expansion of colleges and universities, widespread high fever, and rising school running in society, came together, which made the national secondary vocational education decline all the way and fell into an unprecedented predicament. Many vocational schools had to close down, close down, merge and transfer. Our city has also merged three vocational schools. Wang Xiuli, 44, took over the post of principal under such circumstances.

"If you want to do it well, you must make vocational education glow." Wang Xiuli made an oath for himself.

"Thinking determines the way out. How wide the idea is, how wide the way out is. " This is the first sentence that Wang Xiuli said to all the teaching staff after he became the principal. As soon as he took office, in order to find a better way out for the school, Wang Xiuli took all middle-level cadres to visit and study in Qingdao, Yantai, Dalian and Tianjin. For half a month, she visited 1 1 national senior secondary vocational schools. After returning to school, she wrote a research report of more than 7,000 words and made a special report to all the faculty.

A stone stirs up a thousand waves. It is this report that has aroused a strong response in the whole school, and also clarified the school-running road of "schools turn around the market, majors turn around the industry, talent training turn around the demand, and firmly take the school-enterprise cooperation", as well as the goal of "creating a provincial famous brand in three years, focusing on the whole country in five years, and building a nationally renowned secondary vocational school in ten years".

As the principal of a vocational school, Wang Xiuli thinks that we must study the market, constantly innovate the specialty setting of the school, and set the specialty on the excitement of the enterprise and the shortage of vocational skills.

In the 1990s, when most people didn't even touch the keyboard, Wang Xiuli took the lead in setting up the computer office automation major in the city, and now it has become the only national demonstration major in Hebei Province. In 2000, when she was browsing the newspaper at random, a short message of 100 caught her attention: the country's western development will invest 5 billion yuan to build and expand 20 airports. An idea quickly took shape in her mind: developing aviation crew major. Subsequently, she immediately sent four people to the Capital Airport for in-depth investigation, to explore the road in Hainan and Shenzhen Airlines, and to explore the situation in Harbin. She took the lead in developing aviation crew major in the province and invited airline professionals for interviews. More than 30 places attracted 3000 students to sign up. Later, all 30 children flew into the blue sky and became the first generation flight attendants trained by vocational colleges in Hebei Province. In 200 1 year, the animation industry has just started, and Wang Xiuli is determined to set up a film and television animation major. Now this major has become the leader of animation in secondary vocational schools in China ... With her keen market insight and bold decision-making, the school innovatively set up 26 sub-majors, forming five major groups oriented to employment.

In order to open up a new field of employment for students and seek high-level jobs, Wang Xiuli aimed at enterprises with national famous brands and Chinese prefixes and stubbornly pursued school-enterprise cooperation. But it is not easy to cooperate with high-level enterprises. The joint operation with the Capital International Airport alone has been promoted for ten years.

"I can't remember how many times the team members and I rushed to the airport, how many times we waited in the corridor for the airport leader, how many grievances we suffered and how many nails we touched ..." Wang Xiuli said. "Can't, we can only report and contact often. As long as we go to Beijing or pass by Beijing, we will definitely go to the airport to talk about the development of the school, talk about the planning of the school, and talk about our children. "

It is said that Wang Xiuli's sincerity touched the airport leaders and won their trust and support. At present, the Municipal Vocational Education Center has become the preferred fixed-point recruitment institution for employees of the Capital Airport, with more than 2 100 students taking up positions in security inspection, security and commerce. Last year alone, airport leaders took the initiative to go to school for enrollment nine times.

It is precisely because of this insistence that today's municipal vocational education center has become an important talent training base for well-known enterprises at home and abroad. The employment selection rate of students is 300%, the employment placement rate is 100%, and the successful employment rate is 95%. Year after year, there has been a hot situation in which senior three students compete for employment and senior two students are booked out.

Good principal, good mother

A school full of care and respect is a happy growing school. In this regard, every faculty member of the school is deeply touched.

"Whether it is an old teacher with deep qualifications or a college student who has just joined the job; Whether it is a leading cadre or a temporary worker who watches the door and sweeps the courtyard, the principal is equally kind and respectful. She United everyone with a magnet-like personality charm. " Speaking of the headmaster, Mr Wei Jia commented: "Now, we can't live without the headmaster. As long as she travels for a long time, everyone will feel empty. And everything she has done for everyone, we all see it in our eyes and remember it in our hearts. "

Who has something urgent and difficult? Wang Xiuli has an account in his heart: Teacher Xiao strives for marriage but has no room to live; Teacher Hao's wife is suffering from cancer but has financial difficulties; Teacher Yan has spent all her savings to treat her sister ... Teacher Sun Jingyu will burst into tears when she talks about the principal. That year, he was sent to teach in the countryside. One day, his grandson's diabetic mother fainted in the square due to complications. After learning this, the headmaster rushed to the hospital to help get on the ambulance, paid the medical expenses in advance, and arranged for his colleagues to take turns to take care of him until his grandson was out of danger.

Li, director of the accommodation department, always takes out a "little notebook" that she regards as a treasure, with tears in her eyes, which records hundreds of short messages between her and President Wang over the years: "Ah, the accommodation work is tiring and hard, you should take care." "Happy Mother's Day to Mei Feng, a mother that children like!" "Don't worry, Mei Feng, the difficulties will pass." ..... Li said that these short messages are the coordinates of her progress and the stimulant of her work.

Wang Xiuli is a good principal in the eyes of teaching staff and a good mother in the eyes of students. Hao, who graduated in 2005, still clearly remembers the scene in the third year of high school. Unable to pay the tuition, he nervously knocked on the door of the principal's office. "When I faced her, I realized that all my worries were unnecessary. Her smile is so warm and her eyes are full of care. She took my hand and said,' Don't cry, son, this is home. Speak out if you have any difficulties, and the school will help you.' "Many years later, whenever I recall this scene, Hao's eyes will still be moist. At that time, he was admitted to Tianjin University with the fourth outstanding achievement in the province. Now I'm working in tianjin fire Institute of the Ministry of Public Security, studying for an MBA. He said: "No matter where I go, I will never forget that there is a mountain city called Zhangjiakou outside the Great Wall; Here, there is a school called the Vocational Education Center. At school, there is a dear principal and mother! "

Build a dream platform for more children.

Some people say that students in vocational schools are poor students. Wang Xiuli rejects this view. She said: "We have no poor students in our eyes. Some children may not get good grades in culture class, but they may have strong hands-on ability, may be confident in sunshine, and may be diligent. Every child has something to shine on. As a teacher, we must teach students in accordance with their aptitude. "

She deeply implanted this concept into her work, fully promoted "inclusive education" and adhered to the moral education principle of "paying equal attention to growth, adulthood, success and success", leaving an unforgettable and beneficial high school life for every student.

Since 1998, the first phase of the college entrance examination class started, Wang Xiuli has made clear the idea of "grasping the college entrance examination with one hand and employment with both hands". Since 16, she has successively expanded seven college entrance examination majors, including computer, architecture, accounting, secretarial, tourism, cooking and preschool education. She also vigorously set up the fine arts college entrance examination major, jointly organized the Tianjin spring college entrance examination class with similar schools in Tianjin, and added the adult college entrance examination course to the employment major, striving to extend the education years of students and improve their academic level.

Over the years, more than 30,000 students have graduated from the Municipal Vocational Education Center, and more than 8,000 of them have been admitted to Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, Central Academy of Fine Arts, Tianjin University, Hebei Normal University and other institutions of higher learning. More than 320 students won gold and silver prizes in national, provincial, municipal and industry skill competitions; One third of the more than 3,000 security personnel at the Capital Airport are from Zhangjiakou Vocational Education Center. More than 65,438+0,000 students in our school participated in the security inspection and etiquette services of major events and grand ceremonies at home and abroad, such as the Beijing Olympic Games, the Shanghai World Expo, the Guangzhou Asian Games and the 60th anniversary celebration of the National Day.

16 years is a precious time in a lifetime; For a school, it is an unforgettable process of transformation; For Wang Xiuli, this is a dream from one starting point to another. She also has a better dream of vocational education: to make the school a national landmark, modern and international secondary vocational school, and to build a platform for more children to realize their dreams.
