Chapter 228: Chapter 189: Director of the Education Bureau: _4

Ding Xiaoyou explained to Director Xiao, "But my brother can. He’ll get a set of the most advanced energy chemistry research equipment from places like Cambridge or Imperial Polytechnic University. Then I can do the research I love the most! As for the university, I don’t really care."

Upon hearing Ding Xiaoyou’s explanation,

Director Xiao Wenxing began to understand, and felt that Ding Xiaoyou, a hardworking female student, was focused on producing research results and didn’t care about whether she held a degree from Qinghua or Yancheng University.

But it made sense.

With a family as rich as Ding’s, and owning the Feiyue Group, pursuing energy chemistry research was her purest goal.

They had the foundation to pursue this pure goal.

From a general public’s perspective, it might be challenging to understand Ding Xiaoyou’s decision to reject Qinghua and Yancheng Universities for Mist City Arts and Science University.

But at this moment, after hearing Ding Xiaoyou’s explanation and knowing that she was happily and willingly looking forward to studying in the most advanced environment at Mist City Arts and Science University, everything made sense to Director Xiao Wenxing.

Therefore, Director Xiao Wenxing nodded, smiled, and said to Ding Xiaoyou, "Miss Ding, I admire your enlightened decision. I hope you will make achievements in your favorite field in the future!"

"Mmm, thank you, Director Xiao!" Ding Xiaoyou happily thanked him.

Ding Yue was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected Director Xiao to understand his sister’s choice so quickly.

If the Ministry of Education had a director who sticks rigidly to traditional rules, it would probably be difficult for him to understand, even with explanations, and it might leave a bad impression of Mist City Arts and Science University.

Considering Director Xiao’s position in the Mist City Ministry of Education, it seemed that Mist City Arts and Science University would not have too many difficulties in the future under the Ministry of Education’s jurisdiction.

"A new academic year is approaching, how many students is your school planning to admit this year?" Director Xiao was indeed good at changing the topic.

He immediately asked about the admission circumstances of Mist City Arts and Science University this year.

"Director Xiao, in terms of national enrollment, our school won’t have many students. Maybe several hundreds. But we might admit about 12,000 students through our independent admission," Ding Yue answered seriously.

In this parallel world, Xia Country’s education system allows private universities to independently admit students, aside from national enrollment.

This independent admission is designed to invigorate private universities.

As a private university recognized by the Ministry of Education, Mist City Arts and Science University is qualified for college entrance examination enrollment.

However, it’s clear that

not many students would apply to a newly established private university that sets college entrance examination qualifications.

After all, students need to achieve the undergraduate admission score to apply through the national enrollment system.

If they can reach that score, why wouldn’t they attend a public undergraduate university?

However, it’s different for Mist City Arts and Science University’s independent admission. The ’independent admission’ policy is meant to secure admission for private universities.

Otherwise, without independent admission, most private universities could collapse due to insufficient student admission.

In fact, despite the policy’s leniency, many private universities struggle to attract students.

Similar to the predecessor of the Mist City Arts and Science University campus, the Mist City Siyuan University, schools fall because they can’t attract students even through independent admission. Then they were taken over by Ding Yue.

The chairman of Siyuan Education Group would never have imagined that under Ding Yue’s leadership, Mist City Arts and Science University would thrive.

In the first academic year, there were more than nine thousand students.

In the second academic year, they even planned to admit 12,000 students. It’s clear that the final admission result might be even more!

"Principal Ding, with such a large enrollment, will your school’s resources, including living and residential facilities for students, be able to keep up?"
