Chapter 1089 Language Problems and Study Abroad Plans
Of course, Marin's suggestion is not only about population replacement and integration, but also about education. And, that's the core. In Jutland, for example, Marin asked the church to set up a church school, which taught German to local children free of charge and to teach German to local Danish children. At the same time, there is a covert crackdown on those who want to open Danish language schools.
However, most of the literate Danes were purged by Marin and let them follow the Danish king Hans. As a result, there were few literati in the area who wanted to open any Danish language school. The most important thing is that you don't need money to run a German language school run by other churches, and you can't compete with a Danish language school that costs a fee.
In addition, when issuing official documents, Marin always issued them in German. However, considering that the locals did not know German, it was common for missionaries who knew both German and Danish to explain to the Danes. These missionaries, who knew both German and Danish, were mainly from the province of Schleswig. It was an area where Germans and Danes lived together, so missionaries tended to be bilingual. Otherwise, how can we save these lost lambs?
After a few generations, more people have attended a church German school, and everyone will gradually get used to using German. Danish then becomes a dialect. Although it existed, it degenerated into the so-called "vernacular". Everyone recognized the mainstream culture, and there would be no rebellion.
Marin had also planned to suggest that Edward should train a group of missionaries who could speak both English and Scottish, and that English church schools should be promoted in Scotland. However, after thinking about it, he gave up.
Why? Because even if he did, Edward wouldn't have carried it out. Mainly, Edward didn't have the money to promote free English education throughout Scotland. You must know that education requires investment. Edward was not as rich as Marlin, and this suggestion was in vain.
Of course, Marin made a cut-down version of the suggestion that Edward should promote English learning throughout the Church of Scotland. The specific way is to let the young priests of Scotland go to Oxford University and Cambridge University in England to study English at public expense. And when they return to China, they also have the obligation to teach local children to learn English......
At present, except for the London University of Political Science and Law, which Marin suggested that Edward set up, it is dedicated to training administrative talents, and the only two universities in the United Kingdom, Oxford University and Cambridge University, are actually classical universities with theological themes and some philosophy, management and law majors.
Edward could find the Church of England to sponsor young Scottish clergy to study theology at Oxford and Cambridge universities, teach them English culture, and win them over to become the spokesperson of Britain......
This method is also common in later generations, for example, many liberal arts students who go to the United States to study are particularly deeply influenced by the United States. Then, after returning to China, I felt that the motherland was not good anywhere, and the things of Lao Mei were all the truth......
Therefore, in his previous life, Marin had two views on international students who had studied in the United States - science and engineering are fine, they are all about learning technology. As for the liberal arts, it's hard to talk about. Probably, after studying abroad for a few years, it is not a person who is willing to help the motherland become strong, but a person who dislikes the motherland in every way. Full of English, others think that other people's ideas are different from him, and they feel that other people's thoughts are backward and barbaric...... Of course, this is not a common phenomenon, but it is certainly not a lot......
What's more, liberal arts education in the United States is actually not so scary. According to the seniors who have studied in the United States, in the United States, in addition to science majors are more fair, first-class universities such as Harvard and Penn Wharton, which mainly focus on liberal arts, are actually mostly second-rate goods. Mainly the children of the powerful and wealthy families, they do not go to school, but to expand their connections. The reason why they are second-rate students is that they are not the best talents. However, it is the top among the children of the powerful and the rich. So, it can barely be considered second-rate.
These people are not badly aptituded, plus they have a strong background, and with a top diploma such as Harvard, the road to the future will be very smooth. Therefore, it is not that Harvard and other prestigious schools are prone to produce presidents and other political leaders, but that they have a very high starting point before entering. has a background, an IQ, and classmates are all a group of future elites with the same background. Therefore, the chances of a president and other dignitaries are naturally greater.
Even, many wealthy families are often willing to donate money to Harvard and become patrons. Why? Because after having such an identity, even if his son is a scumbag, as long as he donates enough money, he can still go to Harvard. Only children from poor families need to go to the exam for admission stupidly.
Just like the children of many of the top richest people in China in later generations, they all went to world-famous schools. But if you have the ability to look closely, you will find that their fathers are important patrons of the universities they attended. Foreign universities accept donations and are happy to offer admission to the children of their sponsors. In other words, it is to send a diploma. So, don't think that those children of wealthy families who have gone to famous foreign schools are really good. Only those who study abroad at public expense and rely on hard exams to enter those world-famous universities are true scholars. And many children of wealthy families enter the world's famous schools, in fact, they get in by donations.
This is a routine in Western countries - those universities will not sell admission quotas at a clear price, but you donate tens of millions of dollars to mix in the name of "good people who are enthusiastic about education...... Well, your son is a fool and can go to college......
In the years before Marin's crossing, there were many wealthy Chinese who donated money to Harvard and other world-famous universities. Do they have a lot of money? This is actually a private PY transaction. With the identity of a donor, your child's admission to a prestigious school will be secure......
However, those second-generation people who don't learn and don't know how to learn will definitely not learn those complex science and engineering majors, mainly because they are too brain-consuming, and they really can't do it. Therefore, generally speaking, the children of wealthy families who donate money to enter the school are often liberal arts majors. If you really want to study science and engineering, you are the children of wealthy families who go to schools like Stanford or Caltech, but you are really a top student......
……
Speaking carefully, it is the fairest way to go to university in our domestic college entrance examination. But this is useless, because people can't get into the wealthy children of Huaqing Beijing University, and they have already found another way to go to a famous school in a foreign country. In the end, the academic qualifications are still better than yours...... Then, what was the original situation for everyone, and the situation was as usual...... Of course, those true scholars can also improve their situation. At the very least, it is possible to mix from the poor to the middle class through natural intelligence......
It should be pointed out that in addition to the real scholars, it is the wealthy who go to the world's famous schools. It's not a wealthy family, but the family has a little money, and they can't afford to donate to top schools such as Harvard, so they have to go abroad to go to a pheasant university to fool the Chinese people...... But this won't work, because, with the rise of the Internet age, foreign pheasant universities can't fool people......
So, don't think that those who have studied abroad and attended prestigious schools are true scholars. If you are an undergraduate in Huaqing University or Beijing University in China, and you go abroad for a master's degree and a doctorate, you are indeed a scholar. And when I went abroad to go to a prestigious school as an undergraduate, it was still a liberal arts ...... Well, that's hard to say......
Of course, it doesn't mean that those who go to prestigious universities abroad will necessarily donate to it. After all, the giants are also comparing. Your son went to Oxford? No, I have to send my son to Harvard...... Then, this circle became popular like this, but it is not necessarily that those who donate to prestigious schools must be scumbags. Perhaps, they themselves have the strength to be admitted to an ordinary undergraduate in China, but if they take an ordinary undergraduate in China, they will be laughed at in the circle. Therefore, you have to send it to a famous foreign school...... Then, it will be difficult for you to distinguish those children of wealthy families, who are talents and who are scumbags...... And I and other poor ghosts always speculate maliciously, thinking that they are all bought by scumbags...... After all, hatred of the rich......
……
After waking up from the memories of his past life, Marin and Edward summed it up and found that in fact, it didn't cost much to recruit young Scottish priests to Oxford University and Cambridge University without examination. Because Scotland has a population of 500,000, the total number of clergy is a few thousand at most. As for the young clergy, there are two or three thousand of them who can reach the sky, and it is estimated that there are only a thousand. With a team of international students of this size, the Church of England must be able to afford the cost.
Moreover, after these people have completed their studies, they will be of great use in the future. At the moment, Edward didn't have the money to build an English school in Scotland, but Marin did. As long as he took over England and Scotland, he could learn from the English-language church schools in Denmark that were making admission free. As in Jutland, after a few generations, young Scots will be able to speak English fluently and will have a much greater sense of identification with the British......
