Implementing compulsory education sounds very difficult, but in fact it is not that difficult. The key lies in the scale. Implementing compulsory education in a country with a population of more than one billion is as difficult as climbing up to the sky. Implementing compulsory education in a country with a population of less than a few million is extremely difficult.
Education is much simpler, and the difficulty is not at the same level.
Nyasaland has ready experience in this regard. The situation in Orange is similar to that in Nyasaland. The students in both places are not native English speakers. The difference is that schools in Nyasaland have set English as a compulsory course.
Orange is just an elective course. It doesn’t matter whether you know English or not. Boer is also the official language of southern Africa.
For Orange, the biggest problem is that there are not enough teachers in the schools in Orange. At that time, Rock hired teachers from the UK to work in southern Africa to gradually solve this problem. Orange State also wanted to do the same
, then English must be made a compulsory course and language schools must be established.
This is difficult to do. After all, Orange State is part of southern Africa. It is a bit ridiculous to receive education in your own country and go to a language school.
In addition, there is also the issue of the Boers' acceptance of education.
Different from the Chinese's worship of knowledge, the Boers' attitude towards knowledge is not so positive. The Chinese have a saying that all things are inferior but reading is good. Let's not say whether this statement is correct or not. This statement fully reflects the Chinese's attitude towards knowledge.
.
The Boers have no similar tradition. In recent years, the most popular way for the Boers to get rich is to get rich overnight. For many Boers who discover mineral deposits on their farms, their first choice is not to develop them themselves, but to sell the farms to the British and keep the money themselves.
Head to Europe for fun and entertainment.
This can be regarded as the Boolean version of homecoming.
Therefore, it still takes a process for the Boers to receive compulsory education, and the Orange State government still has a lot of work to do in this regard.
How to draft the document was Carlos's business. Louis Botta still needed to know more, so he started inspecting the schools in Little Rock the next day.
"Of course the best school is Nyasaland University Affiliated Primary School. Arthur and Gavin also go to the affiliated primary school. Are you sure you want to visit the affiliated primary school?" Roque harbored evil intentions. If Louis Botha went to the affiliated primary school, he would probably
Shocked.
The school that allows Phyllis to give up her aristocratic family education is really not comparable to ordinary schools. There is no need to list the various hardware facilities. The library of the affiliated elementary school is the largest library in Little Rock besides the state library.
Nearly half of the teachers in the Primary School Affiliated to Saran University are graduates of the Nyasaland University School of Education, and the other half are hired from the UK with high salaries, which can defeat most aristocratic schools nowadays.
The reason why it has such strong strength is inseparable from various donations from parents of students. Don’t forget that even Arthur and Gavin are studying in the affiliated primary school, so they want their children to be classmates with the future Viscount Nyasaland.
Parents are like the ministers across the river. There are only 50 students in a class in the affiliated primary school. Each one has to show his/her abilities in order to achieve the goal.
In the year when Arthur and Gavin entered school, the affiliated primary school received more than 1.2 million rand in donations. It doesn't matter if they are not in the same class, but in the same grade. In Chinese culture, there is a relationship called being in the same year.
"No, just find any one. The affiliated primary school certainly cannot represent the true level of public education in Nyasaland." Louis Botha is not stupid. With the help of the Orange State, he can also build a decent school.
Primary school, but that is meaningless. Louis Botta wants universal compulsory education, not an aristocratic school like Ziwei Public School.
In fact, Ziwei Public School does not represent the highest level of education nowadays. Not to mention the Primary School Affiliated to Nyasaland University, which came from behind. Even in the Transvaal, the strength of Ziwei Public School is dwarfed by the strength of Miners' Children School.
Sorry, it’s just that Ziwei Public School was established earlier, so it is widely sought after. In terms of real strength, miner’s children’s school is much better than Ziwei Public School. Only a few people know this. The freshmen admitted to Nyasaland University every year,
Schools for the children of miners account for a large proportion, and the classes with the best grades are simply the most successful, with interviews and early admissions.
It’s not a show off, and Roque doesn’t have many regrets. The public schools in Nyasaland are also very good. They beat the public education schools in Orange State in all aspects. Louis Botha randomly selected among the fifteen elementary schools in Little Rock.
One, Sunset Primary School.
"Why this?" Rock was curious.
"No reason, it's pleasing to the eye." Louis Botta said casually.
Luo Ke laughed. The reason why Sunset Primary School is named has nothing to do with the fact that the sun never sets. Sunset means that the school is located on Sunset Avenue. There is really no insinuation.
Then go to Sunset Elementary School.
In fact, this choice is also wrong. If we rank all the elementary schools in Little Rock, then Sunset Elementary School will be in the top five even if it is not in the top three. After all, Sunset Boulevard is surrounded by noble residential areas in Little Rock, which are the so-called wealthy areas.
,How can schools in wealthy areas be so bad?
Before arriving at Sunset Primary School, Louis Botta had to get to know Sunset Primary School first in the car.
"Please, if you didn't want to see it, I didn't even know there was Sunset Elementary School. How do you want me to introduce it? I even just knew that there are fifteen elementary schools in Little Rock." Luo Ke was speechless, the work of the two departments
Still very busy, Roque doesn’t even have time to manage Nyasaland, Anton is the governor.
Due to the limited space in the car, Zach is sitting in the co-pilot, so don’t expect Zach to introduce it. Even if Zach knows, he can’t tell.
"You are so incompetent as a lord." Louis Botha complained habitually. As a minister, he didn't even feel that he was very busy. It was ironic that the Minister of Agriculture could not control the farm.
"The Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Justice are not like your Ministry of Agriculture, which is doing nothing -" Roque said. This is the reality in southern Africa. You are too busy to die, and you are too busy to die.
"Why is our Ministry of Agriculture doing nothing?" Louis Botta said with a black face, expressing dissatisfaction with Roque's attitude.
"Where are the results?" Rock hit the nail on the head.
"You capitalists have bought more than half of the farms in southern Africa, how can I achieve results?" Louis Botha was angry. The reason why the Ministry of Agriculture failed to achieve results is because of unscrupulous capitalists like Rocksmith Henry.
"There is still a small half -" Luo Ke is not angry. He cannot blame the capitalists for being unscrupulous. He can only blame the Ministry of Agriculture for being late-minded, blaming the Ministry of Agriculture for having no money, and blaming the Ministry of Agriculture for not having the right to speak.
"The remaining half is in mountains, hills and swamps. What can I do?" Louis Botta said confidently.
Luo Ke did not refute, despising this nineteenth-century country bumpkin who had never seen terraced fields and did not know the Great Northern Wilderness.
There are too few people and too much land to make trouble, and the good plains cannot be used all. It is clear that the land is good and fertile. For thousands of years, it can only be left uncultivated and grass grows, and no one bothers to build terraces.
"Southern Africa now has more than 3 million square kilometers, and private land accounts for more than half. The Ministry of Agriculture's annual funding is so pitiful that it is not even enough to pay salaries. If it were you, what would you do?" Louis Botha thought that Luo
Ke has nothing to say.
This more than 3 million square kilometers is not the data measured by the Ministry of Agriculture, but the data quoted from Nyasaland official documents. In the era without remote sensing satellites, it is basically impossible to measure the land. The maps published by the federal government of Southern Africa are all crooked.
, which is very different from the map in Rock’s impression, and the maps published by different states are different.
Don't ask how Nyasaland was measured, asking is giving away the secret.
"The positioning of your Ministry of Agriculture is wrong. The government department is a service agency, not a management agency." Luo Ke's concept is ahead of its time.
"Are your Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Justice also service agencies?" Louis Botha sneered.
"The Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Justice are different from your Ministry of Agriculture. The Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Justice are both agencies of state violence." Only then did Roque realize the true meaning of the sentence that the barrel of a gun is the last word.
Sunset Primary School is not far from the Rhodesia Hotel, so when the convoy arrived at Sunset Primary School, the principal of the primary school who greeted him at the door saw this scene.
The two ministers seemed to be chatting happily. One was bitter and resentful, and the other was elated. They looked like Yang Bailao and Huang Shiren.
Well, there are actually no Yang Bailao and Huang Shiren at this time.
Like other schools in Little Rock, Sunset Elementary School also implements closed management. You cannot directly see the teaching area through the school gate. You have to bypass the screen wall behind the gate and then pass through the playground to reach the teaching area.
"Sunset Primary School has a total of 49 classes, with an average of 52 students in each class. There are 117 teaching staff in the school, and there are only two graduates of Nyasaland University School of Education. We are really pitiful -" The principal finally found an opportunity to
Crying in front of Rock.
However, this bitter cry was unsuccessful. The two graduates of Nyasaland University's School of Education are quite good, while other schools have none.
The Faculty of Education at Nyasaland University is the largest department at Nyasaland University and can produce nearly a thousand graduates every year.
This scale is estimated to be second to none in the world, but it still cannot meet the needs of southern Africa. There is no way, the gap is really too big. Nyasaland University has tried its best, but the supply still exceeds the demand.
"If you keep persisting, go to Brandt in advance next year. If he doesn't give it to you, you will live in his office." Roque said, Brandt is the head of Nyasara State Education Department.
Luo Ke has always been very patient with those who work in the education industry. Education is a century-old plan that is not just a matter of words. To provide the next generation with the best education, we must increase investment in the education industry. Only those with money will have a future.
If you don’t have money, no matter how nice you say it, it’s just pie in the sky.
Louis Botta did not pay attention to the exchange between Roque and the principal. There were only two numbers echoing in his mind, 49, 52——
If I remember correctly, Rock just said that there are 15 elementary schools in Little Rock.
