Don’t think that only the Chinese will invest heavily in the education of the next generation. The same goes for white people, especially when education is mixed with too many other factors. Let alone 15,000. The principal of the affiliated primary school has a dark mind. Even if it is 15,
Christian Wan is also willing to pay.
Now that it had been seen through, Pierce no longer tried to hide it and simply asked his assistant to call Steele over.
After seeing Roque and Louis Botha who were smiling half-smilingly on the sofa, Steele wiped his eyes several times to make sure he had seen correctly, and then one thousand rands turned into three thousand.
"We are worth a thousand each." Luo Ke had nothing to say. With such a principal, Sunset Primary School deserves to be prosperous in the future.
"This is the first time I know that I am so valuable." Louis Botha's expression was very complicated. Nyasaland is so magical. The viscount doesn't look like a viscount, the principal doesn't look like a principal. Even the businessman looks like Biller.
The merchants of Toria are different.
"Your annual salary of 5,000 rand is much more valuable than 1,000 rand." Rock glared at the cheerful Pierce. It was hard to imagine how many such checks he had in his shabby desk.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for get out of class to end, and the quiet campus suddenly became noisy. Countless students in neat uniforms rushed out from various classrooms and filled the corridors, playgrounds and open spaces in the garden in the center of the teaching area. Rock looked at it with great joy, and Louis Bo Ta also had an aunty smile on her face.
Nyasaland’s school uniforms are quite distinctive. Boys’ uniforms are all Western-style suits with a small vest and a bow tie that can be worn as an evening dress. Girls’ school uniforms are small suits with knee-high height.
The skirt is a very Scottish red checkered skirt, coupled with white stockings and black round-toed leather shoes, it is really hard not to feel relaxed and happy.
These clothes are all custom-made from textile factories in Johannesburg. The price of each set is R5.5, which basically makes no money. The same clothes cost R12 in Itno, and the texture and style are exactly the same.
Roque didn't feel much after seeing such a scene. Louis Botta's mood was particularly complicated when he thought of the children in Orange who were helping on the farm.
These children who have the opportunity to receive a complete education and those who help on the farm will have completely different careers when they grow up. Some of the children here may become lawyers, accountants, engineers, or even enter the federal government to become senior officials.
Officials, Orange's children, if the eldest son is Edward, will probably become farmers when they grow up, but the future of the other children will be worrying, and most of them will become poor whites.
I hope they will have the opportunity to immigrate to Canada or Australia by then, and then they will also have the opportunity to become farmers.
Damn primogeniture!
"Locke, how much investment does Nyasaland spend on education every year?" Louis Botha was determined that Orange must not be marginalized.
"It's hard to say. The Nyasaland Education Bureau has many sources of income. As you can see, allocations from the state government and municipal government only account for a part. Social donations are the bulk. Private donations are not much.
Enterprises donate more. The Sunset Primary School was actually donated by the Nyasaland Military Industrial Group. The original purpose was to facilitate the children of the military industrial group’s employees to go to school. The King’s Road Primary School was also donated by the military industrial group. There are several kindergartens and a school nearby.
All the middle schools under construction are donated by the military-industrial complex." Roque is still proud that Nyasaland's education system is forming a virtuous cycle, and some graduates of Nyasaland University have also donated money. Over time, this part
There will be more and more.
Compared with corporate donations, alumni donations have a broader prospect, but there is a premise here. At least the memories left by the school for students are good while they are in school. Only in this way can there be motivation to donate.
If you are bullied, isolated and corporally punished, let alone donating money, if you don't retaliate later, you will be open to all rivers.
Of course, at this stage, corporate donations are still the main force. Companies like Nyasaland Military Industrial Group or Rand Bank make millions in profits every year. Donating to a school will only cost a dozen or two even if the standard is higher.
100,000. This kind of project is usually handed over to Christian's construction company or the engineering corps in southern Africa. The cost is actually very low. Hello, hello, hello, everyone.
"What does all the investment add up to?" Louis Botha was determined.
"If all the investments are added up, the Orange State government cannot afford it." Roque told the truth. Nyasaland has developed for nearly ten years before it has the current economic strength. The Orange State government has no chance.
To force oneself to look at Nyasaland is only to bring shame on oneself.
“The education system in Nyasaland was not established overnight. When compulsory education was first introduced in Nyasaland in 1902, there was a serious shortage of teachers in the school. On average, there were more than 100 students per class, and one
There are only a dozen teachers in the school. Many of the teachers in Nyasaland now are the first batch of students in Nyasaland. Many of them actually have the opportunity to receive a higher level of education and are qualified to return to their homeland, or
They went to Europe to go to university, but they gave up these opportunities, preferring to leave the opportunities to their younger brothers and sisters. The adult education now offered by Nyasaland University is to compensate these teachers. As long as they are willing, even while working,
They can also continue their education and get an official Nyasaland University diploma." Roque couldn't help but feel excited. The current situation in Nyasaland is really not the result of Roque's efforts alone.
It is a very frustrating reality to talk about. In Nyasaland, it is not uncommon for people who graduate from sixth grade to teach first grade. Roque also wants to set high standards and strict requirements, but the resources for teachers cannot be obtained by spending money.
fixed.
"Give me a few graduates of Nyasaland University, and I guarantee that they can all work in the Orange State Education Bureau, and their personal treatment will be absolutely no problem." Louis Botha was silent for a long time. In 1902, "Peace Agreement"
"It hadn't been signed yet, and Louis Botha was still fighting guerrillas in the mountains at that time.
One step is slow, one step is slow. The federal government really started to implement compulsory education in 1907. At that time, the first batch of students to receive compulsory education in Nyasaland were about to graduate from primary school. Even if the Orange State actively cooperated at that time, by then
It won't be too far off now. Unfortunately, compulsory education has been implemented for three years, and the enrollment rate of school-age children in Orange State is only a pitiful 35%.
If Louis Botha remembers correctly, the enrollment rate of school-age children born in Nyasaland has reached 99%, and the remaining one percent basically does not meet the conditions for enrollment.
"No problem." Roque agreed happily. Louis Botta had already come out as an olive branch, so Roque had to express his feelings to some extent.
This is not a bad thing. It is undeniable that some Boers are extremely xenophobic, but they account for a small proportion. Most of the extremely xenophobic Boers died in the Boer War. Most of the Boers today still keep to themselves.
When it was lunch time, Roque and Louis Botta were also eating in the cafeteria of Sunset Elementary School.
This gave Louis Botha a new experience. Louis Botha knew that Nyasaland was rich, and he also knew that Roque would not be stingy in this regard, but he did not expect that an ordinary lunch could be so rich.
.
Beef, milk, eggs, and fruits were absolutely nutritious and full of portions. The staple food was a food that Louis Botta had never seen before. Only after Roque introduced it did Louis Botta know that this kind of food was called dumplings.
"Try it, it's a wonderful food. The production process is very complicated. The fillings are various. It's nutritious and easy to digest. The Chinese only eat it on the grandest festivals." Roque doesn't eat beef and eggs, so he asks for a full meal
A big plate of dumplings with garlic and dipping sauce is a delight to eat.
"Can you please stop eating garlic? It tastes too strong," Louis Botta said in disgust.
Rock didn't answer and pointed to the plate of peanuts next to the dinner plate.
"What do you mean?" Louis Botta still didn't understand.
"After eating garlic and eating a few peanuts, your mouth will be tasteless." Rock despises simple common sense in life, don't be so familiar with it.
Louis Botta was dubious, but still tried Roque's way of eating.
Then I immediately regretted it. Roque's taste was a bit strong. The dipping sauce was chili oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic. Who would eat it? Anyway, Louis Botta was literally in tears.
Roque was not in the mood to laugh at Louis Botha. The lunch at Sunset Primary School was quite good. It could be seen that the school had really put great effort into its logistics. The lunches were very rich and the students continued to be in good order. Under the leadership of the teachers,
Eating honestly, there is basically no waste. After eating, I know how to take the initiative to rinse the plate before sending it back.
It doesn't matter if it's clean or not, you'll definitely have to clean it again when you get to the kitchen. The key is to cultivate this habit and do your own thing. Starting from a young age will benefit you throughout your life.
"Do you want to go take a class later?" Rock also suggested after finishing the meal. There is no need to wash the dishes. Zach is very diligent and there is no need for Rock to do it.
"Forget it, I don't understand," Louis Botha said bluntly. Primary schools in Nyasaland are all bilingual. Chinese and English are the official languages. The two languages are also mixed when teaching. English is okay.
I really can’t understand Louis Botta in Chinese.
In other words, if the primary school teachers in Nyasaland returned to the Qing Dynasty, they would at least be qualified to become translators. No matter how poor their English skills were, their standards would be much better than those of Liang Dingxin.
Therefore, people are really confident in earning the current salary.
ps: It’s Chinese New Year, Yutou wishes all brothers and sisters happiness in their families, success in their careers, and may you have money, Rat.
