……

Now members who have questions, please raise your hand! ”

Glancing at the audience, Rolex Totel calmly called the name: "In the last row, the first old gentleman on the left, please speak!" ”

This is a real old gentleman, the only surviving veteran of Bulgarian education, and now he is all over the world.

The old man said in a loud voice: "Mr. Chekov, I have three questions to ask, I know that this is a bit of a violation of the rules, please allow the old man to be presumptuous, okay?" ”

Chekov was shocked, and sure enough, he was looking for trouble. But there was still no change on his face, and he said in a very respectful tone: "Teacher, please ask questions!" ”

Calling him a teacher does not mean that Chekov is his student, in fact, Chekov has only listened to his lectures once or twice.

Because the old man was one of the first people in Bulgaria to promote the new type of education, in order to promote the new type of education, he spent all his family wealth, and accepted many students in his life, and he was highly respected in the educational circles, and many people respected him as a teacher.

The old man was also not polite, compared with him, most of the people here are juniors, he said directly: "1. Why do you invest valuable educational resources in foreigners, Bulgaria is a country with a contribution system, they have not made any contribution to this country, how can their children share our educational resources?"

2. What is the purpose of building these new professional colleges? Where is the value? As far as I know, there are many schools in Bulgaria that offer these majors, and they are doing very well, is it really necessary to list them separately?

3. What exactly does the so-called protection of traditional culture mean? Does this mean that the new Bulgarian university will include majors such as literature and history? ”

Chekov thought for a moment and said, "Let me answer the first question first, for three reasons

First, these migrant workers, who also participated in the construction of Bulgaria, did not make any contributions, although we paid their salaries;

Second, according to the statistical data, 86% of the migrant workers who come to Bulgaria can eventually become Bulgarian citizens, and their children are subject to compulsory education, which is actually our own compulsory education;

Thirdly, it is true that the refugees have not contributed anything to Bulgaria in the short term, but as time goes by, after a few months, they are basically able to find a job, join the construction of Bulgaria, and become our potential immigrants! ”

The old man shook his head and said: "Mr. Chekov, these reasons you mentioned do exist, but this is not a reason to break the rules, the core of Bulgaria is the equality of obligations and rights, as long as they are not citizens of Bulgaria for a day, they cannot enjoy the same rights as Bulgarian citizens, this is the foundation of our country!"

It is unfair to all Bulgarian citizens to break our principles just because they will become a member of Bulgaria in the future, and the benefits of compulsory education for them in advance will be greater! ”

Chekov was in a dilemma, and there were already bursts of applause on the field, and it was clear that the parliamentarians had already shown their attitude with practical actions that the "fair" system could not be broken!

Ferdinand, who was in the background, also showed a long-lost smile, this is a good thing, in the face of interests, the parliamentarians chose to adhere to the principle, then it means that the Bulgarian system he created has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it has been recognized by everyone, and they will stand up to maintain this order!

As the rule-maker, Ferdinand is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary, as long as the Bulgarian principle of "fairness" does not waver, and everyone has always insisted on rights = obligations = rights, then Ferdinand's ruling foundation is as stable as Mount Tai!

After some mental struggle, Chekov made a decision, smiled lightly, and said: "This issue is a mistake on the part of our Ministry of Education, regarding the fact that the scope of application of compulsory education is not being expanded, it is only valid for all Bulgarian citizens!" ”

The audience once again burst into applause, and a government that can admit mistakes and correct them at any time is the ideal government in everyone's minds.

After a pause, Chekov continued: "Now I will answer the second question, there are two main reasons for the establishment of specialized colleges, one is that the country is now short of talents in this area, and the other is that the focus of each school is different, and if you want to be comprehensive in the end, you can only be mediocre!" ”

After a pause, seeing that there was no objection, Chekov continued: "The third question is that the newly established universities in Bulgaria will still not include literature and history majors, but will offer such elective courses.

The reason is very simple, compared with science and engineering majors, literature and history majors play a much smaller role in the country, and they have much less content to learn, most of the content can be self-taught, and they are not eligible to be included in the university!

We can't have two situations in a university, where some people are studying hard and busy all day; Another part of the people, who have nothing to do every day, only know how to fall in love, their role is to bring bad students who study hard!

This kind of dross cannot be found in Bulgarian universities, examples of this are common in other countries around the world!

Bulgarian universities are also the highest in the world in terms of success rate, and there is no need to change the current education model! ”

Facts speak louder than words, and in a realist country where everyone is accustomed to speaking with evidence, Bulgaria's elite education has achieved remarkable results.

There are not a few scientists who defy the sky, but the number of ordinary scientists is piling up, and most of the talents trained have entered scientific research institutions or taught.

In the eyes of the outside world, Bulgarian universities are already the most successful polytechnic universities in the world, there is no waste among all the graduates, and many of the eliminated people enter the enterprise, all of whom are senior engineers!

In such a situation, how is it possible to break the current education system? This made many literati and artists very hurt, and there was no place for them in the most pinnacle school!

There is no way to do this, the cultivation of literary talents cannot be institutionalized in this way, science and engineering can do academic research, but also experiments, and literature and history can't let them endorse and write articles every day, right?

The old man sat back in his place, and now no one has proposed to let literature and history enter the university, and even the higher vocational colleges are not suitable for them!

Only professional liberal arts schools are their paradise, and there is no difference between them and foreign universities except for the high tuition fees.

For example, the Sofia Academy of Letters, which Ferdinand tinkered with, is a professional school of literature and history, and everything else is fine, but the Ministry of Education does not give any funding, and the annual tuition fee starts at 20,000 leva, which is more expensive than going to study abroad, and the graduation degree is one grade lower than that of higher vocational colleges.

Of course, overseas students are even more miserable, and it is very difficult to check which college they graduated from in this era, so their academic qualifications must be confirmed after the examination organized by the Ministry of Education.

Up to now, only one of all the returned international students has been recognized as a graduate of a higher university, only more than 30 have been recognized as a graduate of an ordinary university, and the rest have been identified as a four-digit graduate of Pheasant University.

The rich people in China dare not send their children to study abroad, and there is no comparison between them and the students trained in China in terms of ability.

Well, in this era, it is inherently difficult for international students to enter institutions of higher learning, and the number of foreign recruitment places in a university every year is in single digits, so it is normal for so many international students around the world to grab it, and they can't get in!

Most of them have entered second- and third-rate universities abroad, so it's hard to say whether they can learn anything or not!
