Professor McGonagall's "super powers" display successfully shocked everyone.
As Professor McGonagall coughed slightly, the whispers that had been lingering in the classroom quickly stopped.
Whether they are students or parents who have graduated long ago, without exception, they have returned to a serious and serious class state.
"Well, hello parents, today is the first parent-teacher conference of the Class of 1991 at Hogwarts."
Professor McGonagall looked around, the magic lesson plan hovered in front of her, and she turned to a certain page without moving.
"This time, we want to introduce to parents and explain the educational reform of Hogwarts and the subsequent new rules for the unified examination of the wizarding world."
"Hogwarts is the educational cornerstone of the British wizarding world. Your learning outcomes at Hogwarts will largely affect and even determine your future life in the wizarding society."
"In the past few decades, the Education Department of the International Federation of Wizards has appointed the Wizarding Examination Administration of various countries to hold two level examinations in the fifth grade and seventh grade respectively - the ordinary wizarding level examination and the advanced wizarding level examination. According to the examination
As a result, a certificate of achievement recognized by the entire wizarding world will be issued as the only certification for students to enter society in the future."
"Generally speaking, the vast majority of students can successfully pass the O.W.Ls exam, and higher-level N.E.W.T.s certificates are only required in certain specific positions."
"So overall, Hogwarts study and examination pressure are not too great, and students can graduate successfully in a little time."
"but……"
Professor McGonagall's tone was slightly longer, and she paused meaningfully, with a somewhat terrifying fire flashing in her eyes.
"The situation is different now. Whether it is Hogwarts or the magical society... in the foreseeable future, the requirements for knowledge and skills will inevitably enter a new stage."
"Starting from the British magical community, magical societies around the world are gradually sorting out and formulating a set of standardized practice rules, which means more detailed and clear requirements, such as St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, and certain departments of the Ministry of Magic
, as well as other common important social positions, should begin to transition towards 'professional title' and 'professionalization' in recent years..."
"As the first complete pilot target of Hogwarts education reform, the class of 1991, which is now the second-year students of Hogwarts, is the dividing point of the first stage."
Professor McGonagall's voice gradually became serious. She gently supported the floating magic book with her hands and looked at the confused people in the classroom.
"According to random checks of Hogwarts graduates, the average turnover rate for a job is roughly five to ten years."
"On the other hand, the new magical population in magical society is constantly declining..."
Professor McGonagall took a look at the contents of the "Magic Lesson Plan" and said softly, her expression becoming more solemn.
"Even if the proportion of non-magical enrollment is relaxed, the number of students in each class of Hogwarts still shows a clear downward trend."
"This also means that within five to ten years at most, there will be an extremely serious 'job overflow' in the magic world, and at this time, job competition will become cruel."
"At the end of last year, the Ministry of Magic commissioned the goblins from Gringotts Wizarding Bank to measure the trend changes, and finally came to a conclusion that was not too good -"
"When the class of 1991 graduates, the unemployment rate in the wizarding world will roughly reach 20-30%. This is still the most optimistic result."
There are not many positions in the magic world, and given the long life span of wizards, retirement time can even be extended to one hundred years old.
You know, let alone special cases like Dumbledore.
Even if Hagrid is now a formal professor, he is still over sixty years old in the non-magical world.
With the arrival of the peaceful era, the number of wizards who died accidentally dropped significantly, and the replacement of new blood in the semi-closed magical world gradually came to a standstill.
Perhaps the finances of the Ministry of Magic can barely support the bloated government agencies, but most magic shops and magic enterprises obviously have no reason to absorb the excess labor force.
This calculation report from Gringotts is like a sharp dagger cutting through the bad future that the Ministry of Magic has been unwilling to face.
Likewise, this is also the core reason that prompted the magical government and the International Federation of Wizards to agree to the Hogwarts education pilot.
"So, Minerva, what do you want to say-"
Mrs. Longbottom frowned heavily and suddenly asked while Professor McGonagall paused.
Unlike other student parents, she and Mag were very familiar with each other. The two of them had dormitory beds next to each other when they were in school.
Augusta Longbottom was not afraid of "McGonagall's majesty". He looked up at Magna standing on the podium and said impatiently.
"You don't need to emphasize the importance of learning. Every year there are always some bad wizards who can't find jobs. These are issues that the magic government and schools have to consider. What does it have to do with us?"
"In short, when you graduate from Hogwarts, you will face an uphill battle."
Professor McGonagall took a breath, glanced at the faces of the students and parents present one by one, and spoke slowly and in a heavy tone.
"Either you, as better and more comprehensive wizards, grab your position from the saturated jobs; or you become the 20-30% of the unemployed..."
"Of course I also know that among us, there are many magic families with well-off families. Even if they don't work, they can still maintain a normal livelihood for the family——"
Professor McGonagall quickly glanced at Mr. Malfoy, who was sitting at the front of the classroom, raised his eyebrows, and continued unhurriedly.
"However, if a wizard cannot find a foothold in the magical world, no matter how well-off the family is, sooner or later it will come to naught. And at that time, naturally, the difficult and terrifying enemy of 'life' cannot be avoided. In this case
Next, the path you can choose seems obvious... In my opinion, there are only two: "
"Using bad magic to attack other innocent people, becoming a dark wizard to plunder and rob - I believe the Aurors would be very happy to see this behavior corrected."
"Or, put down your wand and live in the non-magical world like a Muggle..."
Professor McGonagall frowned slightly and glanced at the subsequent content displayed on the "Magic Lesson Plan" with a complicated expression.
Speaking of which, she vaguely heard these words that sounded like sophistry but were more hurtful than sophistry, and they were obviously more perfect now than they were then.
After more than two years, Elena Kaslana has obviously perfected the theory of the year, and based on it, she has derived some more cruel and hurtful conclusions.
"It's just that wizards who lack basic skills, resumes, and do not understand the knowledge of the non-magical world may not have a smooth life in the non-magical world."
"Perhaps magic can solve some minor problems, but don't forget, the International Federation of Wizards' Statute of Secrecy will always keep an eye on you."
Following Professor McGonagall's words, an uneasy atmosphere quickly spread in the Transfiguration classroom.
After all, these principles are not complicated, and all parents can come to similar conclusions after a short period of thinking.
If you don't study hard, you will either "lose" your wizard status in the future, or you will become a low-life criminal and be arrested and imprisoned...
There are still five full years until graduation day, and not many people can 100% guarantee that their children will not become the "20%" that Professor McGonagall calls them.
"Of course, parents and classmates here should not be discouraged. Although the situation is serious, the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts are also actively responding to it."
Professor McGonagall paused for a few seconds, the expression on her face softened slightly, and she tapped the floating magic book with her wand.
"Hogwarts is undergoing comprehensive teaching reforms and strives to maximize the overall quality of students."
"The personal competitiveness of the little wizards trained under the new curriculum standards is at least two or three times that of the past."
"I know that in society, and even some parents, there are some objections to the teaching reforms and some new courses implemented by Hogwarts. For example, mathematics, grammar, and other new subjects that may be added in the future, I think
These are contents that only Muggles will learn - but I hope that after this parent-teacher meeting, everyone can view the new curriculum standards more comprehensively."
"Based on the current academic arrangement, Hogwarts is still open to free electives in the third grade. I hope parents can give their children help and advice during this critical period."
The wand in Professor McGonagall's hand flicked lightly from the page, and a translucent magical light and shadow silently reflected on the teaching curtain behind her.
"Now, let me briefly explain the significance of the new courses and teaching reforms at Hogwarts, as well as their relevance..."
…………
At the same time, similar scenes were staged in various classrooms in Hogwarts.
After more than two years of preparation, Elena and Dumbledore finally found the most suitable display opportunity.
Compared with the paper talks in the early stages of the "New Curriculum Standards" reform, there are so many cases and magical results that can be provided now.
The more important point is that with Dumbledore's "temporary escape", Hogwarts completely fell into Elena's clutches.
In Elena's view, the most effective way to prompt parents and the Ministry of Magic to compromise is definitely not the outdated coercion and inducement...
"Trafficking...anxiety?"
Nearly headless Nick hovered outside the first grade classroom window, recalling the term "Miss Fool" explained.
He looked at the people in the classroom who looked serious, as if someone was about to put a knife to their necks, and sighed worriedly.
Dumbledore may have really unleashed the most terrifying ultimate monster.
