As the annual summary approached, Arthur began to have a headache.

The eight-year plan calls for almost doubling the number of universities, which means that twice as many professors are currently needed at the University of Australasia.

Where to find such a large number of university professors and specialists? There is really no good way to do it, other than digging heavily from the current U.S. and Europe.

The good news is that the United States has achieved a lot in education. The United States has a total population of more than 100 million people, and the number of universities has already exceeded 500, almost 10 times that of Australasia.

This is an exaggeration. You know, the population of the United States is about 3 times that of Australasia.

This also means that in terms of universities, Australasia lags behind the United States by more than three times, and the number of college students trained each year is less than one-tenth of the number of American college students.

This is not the afterlife, college students are still more valuable. Australasia's degree system is similar to that of the UK, with some fine-tuning to suit the needs of the country.

The current Australasian degree system can be divided into three levels, corresponding to bachelor's, master's and doctorate.

Upon successful graduation from a university recognized by the Government of the Kingdom of Australasia, a general bachelor's degree can be obtained.

There are also two types of regular bachelor's degrees, corresponding to liberal arts and science.

On top of the ordinary bachelor's degree, there is also a slightly higher level of the bachelor's degree, the bachelor's degree.

To put it simply, students who study a BA with Honours only need to study 1 or 2 subjects, but the requirements of the subjects become more stringent and they have a certain amount of research output in order to graduate.

Above the bachelor's degree, it is the well-known master's degree.

A master's degree is a bachelor's degree and then a professional study, which generally lasts for 2 to 3 years, depending on the specific assessment results and learning situation.

Master's degrees are also divided into regular master's degrees and honorary masters, and the specific system is not much different from bachelor's degrees, the only difference is that in order to obtain a master's diploma, you must have a thesis that has been approved by professors and experts drawn from various universities.

The highest level of degree is a doctorate, which is also divided into a general doctorate and an honorary doctorate.

In general, a regular degree is less difficult to obtain and is the degree that most people choose to pursue.

Honours degrees are extremely demanding for individual majors and test their talents.

However, what is more attractive is that the Royal Academy of Sciences will give preference to graduates and current students with honorary degrees to participate in the research project, even if it is just to get started.

You know, the experts of the Royal Academy of Sciences are all leaders in a certain field, famous figures in human history.

Giving these people a hand that even some people who have already achieved a little can't do, let alone these students who have just graduated from school or are still pursuing a degree.

It was also the opportunity Arthur gave them, a chance to advance to the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Yes. The Royal Academy of Sciences, founded by Arthur, was not only recruited from the outside world, but also had an internal training pipeline.

Generally speaking, an honours degree is the most promising way to participate in a research project of the Royal Academy of Sciences, then be nurtured by experts from the Royal Society, and eventually move towards the title of Fellow of the Royal Society.

As long as he entered the Royal Academy of Sciences, he became an important national talent recognized by Arthur and the government, and the training intensity obtained was not comparable to before.

But it is a pity that since the establishment of such a rising channel, only a few people have been promoted from ordinary university students to members of the Royal Academy, and they are famous scientists who have left their names in history.

December 23, 1929, the day before Christmas Eve.

As Christmas approaches, the palace is already in a festive mood. A huge Christmas tree has risen from the ground and stands right in the garden of the royal palace.

The Christmas tree has been decorated with colorful lights, and there are also large and small gift boxes, which are beautifully decorated.

It stands to reason that as one of the most important festivals in the West approaches, Arthur and the government must also put on hold in preparation for the festival.

But in reality, the government council is brightly lit because a more important meeting is being held.

The meeting was attended by Prime Minister Raul, Secretary of State for Education Kylo Jefferson, Secretary of State for Medical Purposes Decon Burrigues and Chancellor of the Exchequer Hunter Monsey Loren.

It was a small cabinet meeting, and the reason why so many people participated was because Arthur expressed his importance on education and health care, and said that he would convene the meeting himself.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Arthur appeared in the conference room and took over from Prime Minister Raul to preside over the meeting.

"Minister Kelllo, how is the Department of Education doing?" Arthur asked.

The first year of the eight-year construction plan is almost over, but not a single university has yet been built, and even fewer than ten universities have begun construction, leaving Arthur to doubt that the education department will be able to complete the eight-year construction plan.

"At the moment, we have encountered a certain degree of difficulty." Minister Kello said with a wry smile: "All the states are asking the Ministry of Education to allocate more university places to them, and some states are even arguing over the allocation of university places.

At present, it is unrealistic to double the number of universities in our current distribution, and there are still some cities and regions that do not have universities, which is also the key to building universities. ”

Minister Kello explained: "But it is still difficult to build a university in these areas.

The first is our faculty. At the moment, we can only support a maximum of 10 universities, and close to 40 universities have vacancies in terms of faculty and need to recruit from Europe and the Americas.

In addition, the type of major, the location of the university, the scale of the construction of the university, and the naming of the university all require a certain amount of time to prepare.

It is expected that by next year, construction will start on seven universities and at least three universities will be completed. After enriching our faculty pool, we will complete our education construction plan in seven years at a rate of seven universities per year. ”

To put it bluntly, the construction of a university is not so simple. What's more, the current plan to build universities in Australasia is basically doubling the number of existing universities.

In addition to considering the location and scale of the university, it is very important to have teaching equipment, scientific research equipment and talent pool.

All of these things take time to accumulate, which is why the Ministry of Education's work is currently on hold.

"I have certain ideas about the construction of the university." Arthur spoke, "Our Royal Academy of Sciences has achieved a lot, and the number of people has exceeded 1,200.

How about the proposal that such a large number of experts should be put to good use to build a university in cooperation with the Royal Academy of Sciences, using some of the experts of the Royal Academy of Sciences as a reserve of teachers, and other experts who can give lectures when they are free, and also improve the level and quality of teaching in the university? ”

Hearing Arthur's question, Education Minister Kylo did not dare to answer immediately, and after thinking carefully for a while, he said, "What an amazing idea, Your Majesty. In doing so, we will not only make effective use of the experts of the Royal Academy of Sciences, but also solve some of our faculty vacancies.

These excellent experts are more than enough to serve as lecturers for university students, and maybe we can produce more members of the Royal Academy of Sciences.

However, where should such a university be established? And how do you name it? ”

Actually, this is not Secretary Kellor's problem. The reason for this question is that Minister Kellor knowingly gave Arthur the naming of the university, as well as the location of the university.

"Since it's a university in partnership with the Royal Academy of Sciences, it's better to call it the Royal Academy of Science." Arthur nodded and said flatly: "Since there is the word royal, then the royal family will fund it." I hope that this university can be more biased towards scientific research and professionalism, and can cultivate more talents in scientific research direction for the country, and it is naturally best to join the Royal Academy of Sciences. ”

With the word royal, Arthur naturally hopes that the royal family will contribute to it. Because the talents cultivated from the Royal Academy of Science are congenitally imprinted with the royal family.

These talents can also be seen as cultivated by Arthur, and their loyalty to Arthur will naturally be higher.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Arthur said this, and the others naturally did not object.

"In addition to this, the construction of a Royal University of Technology will involve a very important area of industry." Arthur continued: "The site of the Royal Academy of Science is set in Sydney, and the site of the Royal University of Technology is in Melbourne. ”

Arthur did not choose Fort St. Arthur, after all, it was quite enough for the population of Fort St. Arthur to have two universities.

Melbourne and Sydney, both with populations of more than 3 million, can afford to have more universities and more students.

Although the capital was relocated to Fort St Arthur, the importance of Sydney and Melbourne did not decline.

The two largest cities in Australasia have both grown to become megacities with populations of over 3 million.

In addition, the two cities each have three universities, as well as one that will be built soon.

Even though St Arthur's Fort has grown rapidly in recent years, it is still Sydney and Melbourne that are most impressive.

These two huge cities, which represent Australia and even Australasia, are also affectionately known as the Southeast Twin by Australasian people.

"If the construction of these two universities is relatively smooth, we can also consider building branch campuses in other cities in the future to further increase the number of universities with our professional attributes." Seeing that his proposal was quickly approved, Arthur nodded with satisfaction and added.
