Chapter 225: Educational Reform

Urban development also affected Vilnius, but the environment and the old city made it difficult to build a new city. The old city is baroque and is a rare area in Europe with beautiful scenery, and the location of the new city is likely to affect this beautiful scenery if it is more arbitrary.

Urban designers from all over Europe gathered and after many days of deliberation came up with a design that would have the best of both worlds. Without affecting the old city, the new city can be perfectly connected with the old city, and of course, the industrial area of Vilnius can also be built farther away.

Perhaps the biggest trouble with urbanization is relocation, if the small cottages in the countryside are exchanged for urban apartments at a ratio of 1:1, won't the government lose money? But too small people are not willing to be citizens, after all, not everyone likes to live in a big city, remote and secluded to have a small farm is the pursuit of many people.

Now the only thing that can impress these citizens is salary and education, and education in the city is naturally much better than in the countryside, and the East and the West are the same in this regard, and most parents attach great importance to education. Needless to say, everyone wants to live a better life, and if there are enough jobs in the town and the salary is more than twice as high as in the country, then the allure of the town to the country is endless.

Under the persuasion of a group of people and others, Ernst agreed to the construction of the new city, Vilnius was only the beginning, and then the whole country would build the new city on the original basis, and some new towns and county towns that were only 20 or 30 years old might be overturned and rebuilt.

The Kingdom of Lithuania has invested more than 50 million pounds in the construction of urbanization, of course, this money is not available to the Kingdom of Lithuania now, which is a total investment of five years. The initial investment is £2 million, which includes loans from the Czech Principality and privately raised cash.

The method of raising money is actually very old-fashioned, it is nothing more than an empty glove white wolf to ask Lithuanian citizens to buy shops and apartments that have not yet been built in advance, but the method that has been rotten in the previous life is very useful here. And its appearance allowed Ernst to see a money-making Golden Boulevard, and in the following period of time, similar real estate companies began to appear in various European countries, and Ernst could be seen behind these companies.

Europe is still rebuilding, although the price of housing prices is not very high, but this way of empty-glove white wolf not only feeds a real estate company, but also makes these companies in Europe and the United States, especially European countries, have great influence, after all, they stand up at the moment of crisis and help the citizens of the war disaster to build homes in a cheap way.

War not only makes people lose their houses but also their wealth, so where do they have the money to build houses at this time? Although the government gives subsidies, those subsidies can only meet the needs of food and clothing. These are ways that only require a small down payment upfront to satisfy governments and citizens, and at the same time companies are not less profitable.

Because most of the banks in Europe are private banks, they are naturally reluctant to take such risky things, even if the company is backed by the royal family of the Czech principality. In order to ensure that things run smoothly, it is essential to cooperate with the local aristocracy, and the most important thing is that these nobles have enough influence in the local area to ensure that things run smoothly.

The palace is still a royal palace, but from the highest building of the palace you can see a large clearing in the distance, and that is the new city on the other side of the river. In order to reduce the floor area of the land, most of the new cities are naturally apartment complexes, but after all, Lithuania is a place with few people and more land, and the greenery of the community naturally accounts for more than 30%.

Seven-year compulsory education is the first priority of education reform, and it is undoubtedly an important measure for the comprehensive popularization of knowledge. Although the Lithuanian Cabinet has to pay more than a million pounds a year for this, both Prime Minister Arturas and Minister of Education Brattvet think it is worth it.

Five years of primary school, two years of secondary school, in fact, not only the Kingdom of Lithuania, but also the countries under the influence of the Czech Principality almost all have the same education system. The things learned in elementary school may be a bit more complicated, but the separation of arts and sciences has basically begun since junior high school. Ernst didn't need his country to have too many all-round and incompetent talents, they only needed to specialize in one.

Primary school is a place where you learn the basics, not only German and mathematics, but also physics and chemistry, as well as art, music, etc. The first four years of the five years of primary school are fully studied, the other two years are focused on studying, and after middle school, there is a complete liberal arts and science specialization.

A music-loving student does not need to learn advanced math or calculus, they only need to achieve a score of 80 out of 100 in German and physical education.

Lithuania and the Czech principalities, the Russian Empire, and the Kingdom of Hungary have basically the same school age, and they must go to school at the age of 7, and they cannot drop out of school until the end of secondary school, and they have only two chances to fail at the end of the semester, whether it is primary or secondary school.

If they miss these two semesters, they will be placed in special schools for training, and in short, the future citizens of the four countries will have a secondary school diploma, and they will be real secondary school graduates without the slightest water. Secondary school students who study music are at least able to reach the level of residency in places such as bars, and the same is true for other subjects, and they are basically able to support themselves.

In fact, compared to other subjects, music, painting, etc. are still relatively college, but their development is also relatively low, so unless you are really talented, don't choose these two key courses for yourself.

Is it too early to go to college at the age of 14-16? Actually, it's not early, and if they only specialize in one item, then there will be enough time for them. Military training in Shikoku is generally long, starting with elementary school and continuing with junior high school and university, and each semester has a one-month training period, while at university it is three months.

Speaking of military training, we cannot fail to mention the reform of the military system, the professionalization of officers is indispensable, but their review is also relatively simple, then unless there is really a special recruitment, most of the officers are born from the army. Joining the army after graduating from high school is also a path, after all, the military of Shikoku is very well paid.

Compulsory military service has been abolished, mainly because if they do two or three years of military service after university, there is a high probability that they will forget part of what they have learned, which is a waste of talent. However, young people under the age of 23, even after graduating from university, need to devote two months a year to militarized training, which is also the origin of the Shikoku Reserve.

The soldiers train at different times, some may be in January and February, and some may be in May and June, so that the army can have a continuous stream of reservists. Like other soldiers, if there are talented people, they will be admitted to the military academy and become officers once they graduate.

In fact, the schools in Shikoku are easy to get in and out of, and most of them can pass the application just by passing the grades, but you really need to pay a lot of sweat and hard work if you want to graduate. Ensre attaches great importance to education, and he wants to see college students with real talents rather than college students with high water and diplomas.

There are also many practical opportunities for students from Shikoku, such as those in the Department of Architecture, and this urbanization project has a lot to do with them. A large number of architecture students go out of school to help their teachers and professors with the tasks given by the government, and of course they are paid, even if not much.

University is different from secondary school and primary school, where you have many opportunities to make money, and the state does not have any subsidy funds. Just like a game, each school has a mission sign. A large number of companies and off-campus personnel can post their needs on the notice board at any time, and students can get paid for completing these tasks.

For example, in the current urbanization project, the government has posted relevant tasks in major universities across the country, including groups and individuals. For this reason, a large number of excellent students have become popular, after all, everyone wants to be in the same team with the same excellent classmate, and only in this way can they get the final salary.

Tasks have a considerable correlation with the final diploma, and unless a student completes a certain number of tasks, even if you graduate, you will have an inexperienced evaluation in your profile. When it comes to finding a job, this kind of comment can be quite influential.

You also have a record of all your completed tasks in your file, and if you happen to complete two heavyweight tasks, the company you applied for when you graduate will undoubtedly value you.

There is no doubt that such an education reform will affect many people, but on the whole it is a good thing, and the people who complain about this policy are often people who are incapable but want to get something for nothing. Naturally, there was no need for them to pay attention to these people, whether it was Ernst or the cabinet.

In a mid-range restaurant in Vilnius:

"Education reform is really ......"

A young man who was obviously still a student smacked his lips and didn't know what to say, but compared to the one opposite his entanglement, it was much more straightforward.

"It's just unlucky, who would have thought that such a thing would come out when I am about to graduate, I estimate that it will be difficult to graduate this time, and it seems that I will have to study in school for a while."

Although his mouth was very dissatisfied, he could see that the young man really didn't care much. The people who can go to school during this period are generally rich children, they naturally don't care about the tuition fees for one or two years, and of course there are not no poor students, but those guys generally study very well, and this kind of education reform is even a good thing for them.
