Chapter 229 - Education Reform Plan (Part I)
As the saying goes, a change is like a change of knife, and this sentence is not too much for Florica, the new minister of education.
Before Florica had just become minister, he was summoned to the palace, and Edel wanted to hear for himself who he had chosen and whether he could understand his intentions.
In the palace, Eder looked at Minister Florica in front of him, listening to him talk about his plans for the future of Romanian education.
“…… That's why I think that Romanian education is now the best in the Balkans, and we in Romania deserve to be the first in terms of teaching quality, the number of students and the level of education of the people. It's just that I don't think that's enough, and we're still too small. ”
Eder had listened to Minister Florica's description of the current state of education in Romania, and now he asked with interest about the future of education in Romania. "And what are you going to do?"
Seeing that the king was interested in his plans for his future education, Florica spoke with a sense of spirit. "I plan to reform the current education sector, in which the bloated departments will be divided, each department will have its own work, and if there is any problem, you can directly go to the person responsible. Moreover, the current school curriculum should also be redivided, and military training courses should be added so that every student can be physically fit and learn to obey basic orders. ”
Minister Florica said this, and seeing that Edel was still interested, he continued to speak his bolder thoughts. "I found that in the students' textbooks, there was always a vague deal about the situation of Romanians under foreign occupation. I think this is very wrong, it will give students a wrong view of history, and this needs to be corrected. ”
Minister Florica paused here, and Eder understood what he meant, that it was a major overhaul of the Romanian history book and a revision of some of the ideas. Edel had a feeling of indescribability at this time, and suddenly he thought that this was not what Nan Bang did in his previous life?
Thinking of this, Eder decided to ask the Minister of Education in front of him specifically what he planned to do, if it was really Nanbang's approach, this could not be. For the arrogance and sensitive character of the Nan Bon people, this is not what Eder wants. If you really want to educate the people into this kind of character, it is better for him to commit suicide and start anew.
"And what are you going to do?"
Minister Florica, who did not understand the king's mind in front of him, said what he had been thinking about for a long time. "Your Majesty, I intend to give a detailed account of the life of the Romanians, who have been oppressed by foreign occupations since the Roman Empire. The main purpose is to arouse students' sympathy for the tragic fate of their ancestors and hatred for foreign races. Then the emphasis is on a certain degree of glorification of the rebels who rebelled against these rules. ”
"That's all?"
In response to Eder's inquiry, Minister Florica nodded. "Your Majesty, that's all I have in mind for now."
Edel breathed a sigh of relief to hear that Minister Florica hadn't mapped out the history books and robbed other countries of their cultural traditions. He also hated the history books that Nanbang did in his previous life for the sake of historical pride, expanding the territory and robbing the cultural traditions of other countries. This kind of thing is most likely to lead to national antagonism, and in this era of the law of the jungle, it is a war.
Edel was not afraid of war, but he definitely did not want to fight one. And it will also be very bad for the Romanians, no one will like a historical thief, he will definitely not use this method.
Eder is still quite satisfied with Minister Florica, and it will depend on what Minister Florica can do in the future. Now he wants to tell the professional about the education reform plan he has discussed with the prime minister, and ask him to see if there are any loopholes in the plan.
"Minister Florica. In fact, I have called you here not only to hear your vision for the future of Romanian education, but also to carry out a comprehensive reform of the Romanian education system. ”
Hearing the King's words, Minister Florica perked up. "Your Majesty, please speak."
Eder will discuss the plan with the Prime Minister and will explain in detail to the Minister of Education in front of him. It was also very touching to hear that the king and the prime minister had invested so much money in Romanian education, which made the new minister Florica feel a lot of pressure, and that the king planned to fund more than 100 million yuan to help the education department do this.
He also understood that the king and the prime minister had placed this matter in his hands, which meant that they favored him. Of course, if you can't do it well, he can imagine the consequences himself. It's just that he is very motivated to face the fact that the dream he pursues can be realized in his hands.
So after Eder finished speaking, Minister Florica spoke excitedly. "Thank you Your Majesty for the importance you have placed on me, and it is a lifetime honor for me to be able to complete this project. I swear with my life that this reform plan will meet Your Majesty's requirements. ”
Seeing the Minister of Education in front of him so excited that his face turned red, Edel said comfortingly. "It is precisely because of Your Excellency that this plan is in your hands. I don't need your life, I just need your Excellency to be able to accomplish this, which is the best reward for Romania, and everyone will remember you. ”
Encouraged by the king, Florica used her many years of experience working in the Romanian Ministry of Education and schools to point out several shortcomings in the program that Eder had come up with. Eder also accepted this humbly, and at the same time let Edel see the difference between professionals and him.
One of the most problematic is the nine-year compulsory education that Eder has prepared, which in the opinion of Minister Florica is indeed a good way to change the development of talents in Romania. It's just that the time is not ripe, and Romania lacks teachers who can teach such a large number of junior high schools. Teaching in secondary school is no more demanding on teachers than teaching in primary school. However, Romania's current teacher training institutions, the Normal School, are completely unable to meet its requirements.
Minister Florica suggested that the number of students enrolled in normal schools could be increased, and that some poor students with excellent character and academic performance could be referred to normal schools, while their fees could not be charged for the time being. However, the condition is that the contract with the education department requires the person to teach in a public school for eight years, and his school expenses can be gradually deducted from his salary.
Eder was also receptive to Minister Florika's professional advice. However, he has already found an alternative in his mind, it doesn't matter if there are few teachers, when the time comes, he will recruit from Germany and Austria, which will always temporarily reach the number of teachers in Romania itself.
