One step ahead, one step at a time.

In the case of Guanshishan Academy not making mistakes, whether it is Qujiang Academy or Weishui Academy, it is very difficult to catch up with it.

Just like the Qingbei of later generations, no matter how hard other schools try, it is very difficult and even unrealistic to become an existence beyond them.

Of course, Xu Jingzong is also clear about the principle of sailing against the current and retreating if you don't advance.

Especially now that he knows that there will be at least one Tang Normal College in Chang'an City, Xu Jingzong feels a little more pressure.

Promoting education and building academies is something that is supported by the prince of his own family.

At that time, even if the Tang Normal College dug the foot of the wall and dug up the Guanshishan Academy, Xu Jingzong would not be able to say anything.

"Yan clan, have you heard about the past few days?"

In the annex of the Chu Palace, Li Kuan looked at Xu Jingzong, thinking about the personnel arrangements of the Ministry of Education.

Although it is said that the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment of officials, the arrangement of many personnel is simply impossible for the Ministry of Officials to have the final say.

The Ministry of Education was proposed by Li Kuan, and now Li Shimin is obviously supportive.

At this time, Li Kuan's various suggestions can play a very big role.

"Lord Wang, this is the last major event in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, and my subordinates have naturally heard of it. Can we also take this opportunity to further expand our scale? Now in the seven academies, each student has been studying in the academy for at least three years, and the total number of students seems to have reached 10,000, but because many students who have completed three years of study continue to stay in the academy, there are less than 3,000 new students every year. ”

Xu Jingzong thought about how he could benefit Guanshishan Academy and benefit himself in this round of change.

Not to mention the Tang Normal College, Xu Jingzong estimates that there will be no less than ten normal colleges to be built in various provinces and states alone.

When the time comes, we will definitely recruit some teachings from Guanshishan Academy.

Although it is a great opportunity for the graduates and teachers of Guanshishan Academy.

But for Xu Jingzong, the person in charge, it is not necessarily.

Therefore, he felt that it would be better to simply expand the scale of the Guanshishan Academy, so that the academy's own demand for teachings would also increase, and the number of people leaving would be correspondingly smaller.

"The scale of the academy must be expanded, but it cannot be expanded blindly. In this way, the normal time to go to school now is three years, but what can be learned in three years is relatively limited. At present, various colleges are constantly setting up some research institutes, so we will simply add a graduate school in the college, with a two-year study period, and a master's diploma will be awarded after graduation; After that, according to the actual situation, we can also set up a doctoral diploma for students who want to stay in the college after graduating with a master's degree, and the duration of study is also two years, so that it will take seven years for students to get a doctorate. In addition, we can re-provide opportunities for master's and doctoral students to recruit students from the entire Datang Academy. ”

After so many years of operation, the operation of Guanshishan Academy has entered a relatively stable stage, and Li Kuan feels that it is time to make a breakthrough for it.

If Datang wants to develop industry, there will definitely be more and more demand for all kinds of scientific research talents, and Guanshishan Academy will naturally take the lead in becoming the most famous academy in Datang and even in the world.

"Master? Shuoyan celebrities, noble character, profound knowledge, it is too appropriate to use a master to describe the students after the bachelor's degree; There is also the doctor, during the Qin Dynasty, the doctor was in charge of the country's ancient and modern history and books and regulations, and when I came to the Tang Dynasty, it was the title of a person who was proficient in a certain profession, such as a doctor of medicine and a doctor of arithmetic. ”

As soon as Xu Jingzong heard Li Kuan's proposal, he was happy.

The original three-year study period can now be relaxed to seven years, which is equivalent to more than double.

Although the number of masters and doctorates cannot be as many as bachelors, in the future, it can at least increase the overall number of students by 30% to Guanshishan Academy, and the number of teachings will also increase, which has exceeded Xu Jingzong's expectations.

"Everyone is different, and with so many students in the academy, we can't expect everyone to pursue the same. Some people hope to be able to enter the officialdom smoothly through the study of the academy, some people hope to find a good position in the workshop through the study of the academy, but there are also some people who are full of interest in various science and technology itself, and hope to study these technologies, and we want to provide a broader development space for such people. ”

In this era when many people get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, it takes seven years to get a doctorate, which is actually a long time.

If you are not really interested in academics, it is estimated that you will not be able to persevere.

Besides, although the school system is seven years, your level has not been enough, and it is not impossible to finish your studies after eight or nine years.

"The prince is now vigorously promoting the popularization of education, and the construction of Datang Normal College should also be imminent.

Xu Jingzong couldn't help but want to expand the scale of Guanshishan Academy again.

Anyway, the academy belongs to the Chu Palace, and he did it for the sake of the Chu Palace, but he was not worried that Li Kuan would blame himself.

"There is a specialization in the art industry, and the work of cultivating full-time teachers is handed over to other academies. Yan people, in fact, you don't have to completely distinguish the Normal College from other academies, just like our own academies, after graduating from the academy, you can also stay as a teacher, or go to other academies to be a teacher; The students trained by the Teachers College are more likely to go to primary schools and Mongolian schools to teach students, and what they learn is also targeted. Even for the teaching of Mongolian learning, the state governments can set up a one- or two-year crash course to train urgently needed personnel. ”

Xu Jingzong is his right-hand man, and Li Kuan is still willing to explain his thoughts to him.

Throughout later generations, there are so many universities in the world, and none of them can include everything.

Li Kuan hopes that Guanshishan Academy is the best academy in Datang, but this does not mean that this is a college that teaches everything.

For example, Buddhism, Taoism and the like, Guanshishan Academy will definitely not recruit students.

Similarly, the subjects of a teacher-related nature will not be set up by Guanshishan Academy.

If you want to eat everything, the end result may be that you don't eat anything well.
