Chapter 1509 The Problem of Education in the Territories of England
In fact, there are no fixed textbooks for science and engineering majors in universities in Beihai Province. Because, the textbook for the mechanical major, only the part of the content provided by Marin that was originally deleted from the middle school physics textbook, is not enough at all. If you really want to take classes, it is estimated that you will finish it in half a semester.
The textbooks for chemistry majors are much better, because Marin has deleted most of the chemistry from middle school and used it as a college textbook, but it is only enough to teach for more than a year.
Moreover, the most pitiful thing is that Leonardo da Vinci is the one who teaches mechanics and chemistry at Beihai University, and he is alone......
No way, who said that Beihai Country has no other physics and chemistry talents at all......
Not only that, but Leonardo da Vinci, as a master of mathematics, will also shoulder the mathematics education of the 100 top 100 students who are outstanding but not loyal enough in the future, teaching them advanced mathematical knowledge such as solid geometry and calculus (these are the liberal arts versions of high mathematics that Marin learned when he was a liberal arts major).
For these 100 smart children, Marin is positioned as a future math teacher! Moreover, their duration of study is only two years. After completing their studies, they can work as a mathematics teacher at Beihaiguo Middle School and Primary School.
As for the lack of textbooks for the mechanics major, Marin and Leonardo da Vinci decided to take out all the manuscripts that Da Vinci used when he developed the Watt steam engine as teaching materials......
These manuscripts are all kinds of records of Leonardo da Vinci's development of the steam engine over the years, and the content is very detailed, and the author of Leonardo da Vinci also appeared to explain it himself, which is absolutely very vivid.
With Leonardo da Vinci's manuscripts on steam engines in the past few years, Marin felt that the textbooks for mechanical majors could last for a year or two. Then, mechanical students with a certain foundation can work with Leonardo da Vinci to develop and improve the steam engine, and jointly develop the steam engine propulsion system for trains and ships......
Presumably, in a few years, a group of masters of mechanics will definitely be cultivated......
Chemistry was also taught by Leonardo da Vinci. However, Leonardo da Vinci devoted less time to research in chemistry and may not be able to produce too many students.
For this reason, after thinking about it, Ma Lin decided to hire several traditional alchemists to come over as teaching assistants in the Department of Chemistry to help study chemistry together.
Although these alchemists lacked a scientific theoretical basis, they were much stronger than Leonardo da Vinci in terms of practical ability. With their help, Leonardo da Vinci's chemistry class would have been much better.
Even, Marin is ready to go to the chemistry department if he has time, he will also make a few guest appearances as lecturers to give some demonstrations and explanations to the students. After all, when it comes to chemistry, Marin was ahead of his time. Although Marin had only studied chemistry in middle school in his previous life, his knowledge far surpassed that of a scientific tycoon of his time, such as Leonardo da Vinci......
……
In other words, there are only two science and engineering majors in Beihai University - one is the foundation of mechanical science stripped from middle school physics; The other is middle school chemistry that has been spun off from middle school chemistry......
This is also something that can't be helped, who told Marin to only know the physics and chemistry knowledge of Chengdu in middle school. Therefore, I can only use some of the physics and chemistry knowledge in middle school as university knowledge.
Even, whether it is mechanical or chemistry, there are no perfect textbooks, and the establishment of the two majors is also very hasty.
Marin's plan is to let Leonardo da Vinci explore these two majors while taking these two majors. By the time the children of these two majors graduated, it would be almost enough for several relevant teachers such as Leonardo da Vinci and Marin to sort out suitable teaching materials.
By the way, the great painter Dürer is currently also sent by Marin to work as an assistant teacher for Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci was old, while Dürer was highly talented. Let him follow Da Vinci for a few years, just in time to take Da Vinci's class......
……
Most of the 300 who were selected to study in traditional universities such as law, economics, politics, and accounting were children of the Beihai nobility who did not like war. Many of them are the children of civil officials, and they plan to inherit their father's business and become civil officials in the future. Only some of the children of civilians, because of their weak health, did not go to military schools, but chose to become civilian officials.
As for the theology major at the University of Aurich, sorry, it is not open to ordinary high school students, but only to the church. In other words, the theology majors at Aurich University are recruited by young clergy from churches all over the North Sea Kingdom. The major is for the interior of the church and is not open to the outside world......
……
Except for the 800 high school graduates who were selected as college students, the remaining 1,200 unsuccessful candidates, Marin did not leave them behind.
After all, their secondary school level of culture is also considered "highly educated" in Beihai Country in the current era......
For these 1200 "unsuccessful" middle school students, Marin screened again......
The selection is still based on the degree of loyalty, of which 200 people with the highest degree of loyalty and a reasonable level of education are selected to enter the senior military academy for further training, and they will become officers. This is much better than those children who graduated from elementary school and entered military schools, and their starting point is higher. Those who have graduated from primary school and entered military academies for further study may not be able to become officers after they come out. And students who come out of the military academy have a high probability of becoming officers......
Of the remaining 1,000 people, Marin selected the 200 with the best education level and prepared to send them to schools around the country as primary school teachers. As for the remaining 800 people, Marin simply found the heads of various factories in Beihai Country and asked them to pick people......
This is a high school graduate, a top student of this era. Sure enough, they caused a rush from various factories. Even Columbus, the principal of the captain's school, personally came over and asked Marin to leave 200 people for training. For Columbus's request, Marin certainly had to meet it. Moreover, it is priority satisfaction. And the bigwigs in the medical field such as Mo Rigen, Battle and Taiyi Liu are also going to leave 100 people, ready to train into powerful doctors......
……
In this way, 2,000 high school graduates of Beihai Country were easily digested by Beihai Kingdom. Of course, the next class of middle school students can come out again next year......
……
Just when the Beihai country was busy dividing up 2,000 high school graduates, Mason, the palace minister who was far away in Newcastle, also sent someone to find Marin and asked Marin to provide a group of high school graduates from Friesians. The reason is that he wants to run a school in Newcastle......
At the moment, it has been several years since Marin acquired Northumberland. After the elder Mason became the palace minister of Newcastle, he was also conscientious, stabilizing the situation in Northumberland and starting the economic development.
But the elder Mason found a problem - the local English seemed to be alienated from the Germans. Mainly, the locals regard the German-speaking officials, such as the elder Mason, as outsiders and have no sense of closeness.
There is a gap between the two sides, and it is naturally very inconvenient for Mason to manage the local area. But old Mason found that Frisian officers such as Saqqara, who was also from Germany, got along well with the locals. The reason for this is also very simple - Frisian officers such as Saqqara, who speak Frisian, have no barriers to communicating with the English......
Then, Mason Sr. began to be tempted - if he could recruit a group of English-speaking subordinates, things would be easy......
It just so happened that a ship sent to the port of Newcastle had departed from Emden these days and brought with it the news that the first batch of high school students in the North Sea Country had graduated.
Old Mason was very interested when he heard the news, and when he learned that middle school students in Beihai Country made English a compulsory subject, his eyes suddenly lit up......
So, he sent someone to find Marin, hoping to get at least 200 high school graduates, mainly to help him with government affairs and deal with the local English. And...... Set up a local school to spread Marin's kindness and consolidate Marin's rule in Northumberland......
After receiving Mason Sr.'s request, Marin suddenly stood up. Because, he suddenly discovered a problem - he didn't seem to be running an education in the territory of England......
This is a big oversight, if England does not have people who support him, how can he unite England in the future?
Therefore, Marin urgently gathered the units that had divided up those high school graduates, and selected 200 high school graduates who had learned English well and sent them to Newcastle.
However, Marin stressed to Old Mason that he was only allowed to take 50 of the 200 high school students to help him rule the local English. Another 150 were sent to churches across Northumberland, using local churches to teach local children about culture at the primary school level free of charge on non-Sunday afternoons. At the same time, brainwash those children from an early age - Marin is the savior, and we must always be loyal to Marin and Marin's heir......
