Chapter 84 -84 Still Has A Threshold_1

Clearly, the head teacher was well aware of everyone’s confusion.

When he had received the information booklet himself, he too was definitely perplexed, and had even consulted with the staff at Yangnan Teacher’s College.

Now, seeing everyone below discussing amongst themselves, he clapped his hands and said with a smile:

“Calm down, everyone. I know you’re all surprised by the low admission requirements. With these conditions, it seems like all 150-plus students in our class could attend Moscow University. Not bad, that’d really save face for me if the entire class went to study abroad at world-renowned universities! This is something I could brag about for a lifetime.”

The students below laughed uproariously, feeling the truth behind his words.

If they really went by the requirements on the information booklet, everyone in the class could indeed go study abroad.

A high school diploma is something you’re sure to get as long as you aren’t expelled from school during your high school years.

And as for the final exam, those who’ve experienced it understand.

It’s practically an open-book test; it’s hard to fail!

Once the laughter had subsided, the head teacher continued: “Studying at such world-renowned universities isn’t that simple; there is a threshold.”

Everyone quieted down, waiting for the head teacher to continue explaining.

Everyone is a Senior Three student; who wouldn’t want to go to a good university?

Furthermore, this would mean studying abroad at a world-renowned university!

With such an opportunity, they naturally wanted to find out more, just in case they could go too…

“This threshold is money! This round of admission doesn’t offer any scholarships, so the full cost of studying abroad will have to be covered out of pocket. Even though the cost of living in Russia isn’t as high as in developed countries in Europe and the US, it’s still quite a hefty sum after a few years. After doing some preliminary research, if you were to attend Moscow University, a year-long preparatory course and four years of undergrad would cost about 300,000 CNY. Studying at Friendship University would be a bit cheaper, probably around 200,000 CNY…”

The head teacher relayed all the information he’d found out.

Upon hearing “300,000” and “200,000”, the vast majority of students let out a long sigh.

Just as they thought, such elite schools are still out of their reach…

In 2001, how many families can afford such hefty tuition?

In their class, it’s likely that only a handful of families could come up with, and be willing to part with, such a large sum.

While others were chatting, Lao Liu’s eyes widened and his heartbeat quickened.

He realized that his family could afford this!

Given his grades, studying abroad naturally wouldn’t be an option. He had gone home a few days ago to discuss his future prospects with his dad.

Either he could take an adult college entrance exam or a self-study exam, but those diplomas would be useless.

Or, he could go home and work with his dad at the brick factory.

But Lao Liu wasn’t content with that; young people naturally have dreams and ambitions.

He wanted to attend a good university, move to the city to start his career, and eventually establish himself in a first-tier city, working in a luxury office building!

What would be the point of working at the brick factory at home, being covered in dust all day, and being looked down upon when he went out?

Even if he could make money that way, it would just be hard-earned money, and not respectable or dignified!

Now, things are good; he just needs to spend 300,000, and he can go study abroad and attend a world-renowned university like Moscow University!

When he returned to China after graduation, wouldn’t he be a stylish “sea turtle”…

…

Of the more than 150 students in the class, only a few were truly interested.

After all, these are Senior Three students, not children. They are well aware of their family circumstances.

And clearly, the head teacher also knew this.

Finally, he said:

“This is a big decision. On April 10th there will be a promotional conference at Yangnan Teacher’s College. Students who are interested can attend with their parents and ask questions on the spot.

Rumor has it that this promotional conference is going to be very grand. The education bureaus of both our city and Heluo City will be in attendance, and there will also be several education experts coming from Russia!

If you have any questions, you can ask them directly. It’s a rare opportunity.

Also, for those who want to discuss this with their families, let me know. You can go home tomorrow.”

Those students who could attend top-tier universities in China probably wouldn’t be interested in this opportunity, whereas the students who were interested were those with mediocre grades but rich families.

These students didn’t care about missing one day of school. At this point, one day more or one day less of studying wouldn’t make any difference—they wouldn’t be able to get into college anyway!

Upon hearing this, Lao Liu quickly raised his hand and said, “Teacher, I need to go home tomorrow to discuss this with my family.”

The head teacher’s eyes lit up, and he asked, “Oh, you’re interested in studying abroad? Which university do you want to attend?”

“Definitely Moscow University! If I’m going to study abroad, I should go to the best one!” Lao Liu replied, glancing around at his classmates with a smug look on his face.

Wherever his gaze landed, he was met with envious looks.

In the past, everyone had looked at Lao Liu as if he were a joke.

But today, Lao Liu felt a change in how his classmates viewed him…

Exactly! Of everyone in class, how many are really going to Tsinghua or Peking University? At most, it’s just one or two.

But he, Lao Liu, would soon be attending Moscow University, a university that’s even better than Tsinghua!

In a few years, he would be a “sea turtle”…

The head teacher naturally had no objections to Lao Liu’s request for leave and instead patiently reminded him to communicate well with his family, as this opportunity was indeed a rare one.

In previous years, although there were occasionally one or two students studying abroad, it was always the students’ families who arranged it themselves. But this year, it was different.

It was organized by the education bureaus of both Yangnan City and Heluo City. It was very official!

Also, Yangnan Teacher’s College would handle the procedure, ensuring that there would be no issues.

As the head teacher of a graduating class, it is of course a matter of pride for him if students are able to enroll in prestigious universities like Tsinghua or Peking University.

Similarly, if students from his class were able to study abroad, it would be cause for pride as well!

Furthermore, universities like Moscow University and Friendship University are in no way inferior.

……

Besides Lao Liu, three or four other students in the class also asked for leave to go home and discuss the matter with their parents.

But this scenario was not limited to their class.

Today, in both Yangnan City and Heluo City, the same scene occurred in every Senior Three class!

The information booklet that the students received was naturally provided by Yangnan Teacher’s College.

Domestic promotion has officially started…

In both Yangnan and Heluo, “studying in Russia” quickly became a hot topic.

Not only those who were in a position and willing to go were interested in the topic.

Even many who did not have the resources were enthusiastically discussing it.

In those days, studying abroad was a rare thing!

To many, the idea was so far out of reach that it seemed like a luxury only the most affluent families or the most talented students could afford.

But now, they suddenly found that studying abroad was not so “sacred.” It seemed reachable if they only stretched out their hands or stood on their tiptoes…
