It is reasonable for the British to use Portugal as a pawn to test East Africa, which is reasonable, the area of Portugal's colonies is not small, and it happens to be on the left and right sides of East Africa, so there is an inevitable geopolitical contradiction between East Africa and the Portuguese, and no one will believe that East Africa has no idea about the two colonies of Portugal.

However, it is really a question whether the British can say that the Portuguese will be used as the sword, at least the new governor of Mozambique, Lefford, is a little afraid of East Africa. East Africa does not know the plans of the British, and for East Africa, except for Belgium, which is angry with East Africa, any surrounding country is a suspicious existence.

……

1877, the city of Soga.

King Constantine visited the city of science and technology in East Africa for the opening ceremony of the National Agricultural College and the Soga Normal School.

The National College of Agriculture was the first university in East Africa, and in addition to the fact that agriculture is the dominant industry in East Africa, there are more agronomists in East Africa than other scientists, and it is easy to piece together.

Soga Normal School is a special school, he does not belong to the university, but it is one level higher than the East African Middle School, specializing in training primary and secondary school teachers for East Africa, and its teachers are also from a special source, which is a teacher type talent trained by East Africa in the Hexingen Kingdom, but it can barely be classified as a higher education level.

Konstantin: "Mr. Angros, it's great that you're contributing to agricultural education in East Africa!" ”

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to be here, it's a real honour for me." Angros was somewhat flattered.

Konstantin said with a smile: "Our Kingdom of East Africa is a country that respects science, so the same is true for scientific researchers. ”

Angros was one of the students of Johann Heinrich von Turne, a well-known German agronomist who was a student of Albrecht Tjee, the founder of modern agricultural management and known as the founder of modern agronomy.

Therefore, although Anglos is not famous, his professionalism is definitely enough, because his teachers and masters are the top figures in the German agricultural field.

In 1804 Albrecht Tee founded Prussia's first agricultural school, which was awarded the title of Royal Agricultural University 15 years later in 1819 by the Prussian government.

So it makes sense that as the grandson of Albrecht Teeu, Angelos founded the first agricultural university in East Africa.

However, compared with the Royal Agricultural University in Prussia, the National Agricultural College in East Africa is relatively low-key in its name.

However, this is also in line with Ernst's expectations for East African universities, which focus on the construction of theoretical levels, while East Africa is obviously not yet up to that level, and at present, East Africa can only learn from European and American countries, and does not have the basis for extensive theoretical creation.

And Ernst didn't think that a college should be worse than a university, a term that had been stigmatized by some countries in previous lives, such as Germany and the Soviet Union, where colleges and universities were very strong.

It is true that the limitations of the junior college are a little higher than that of the comprehensive university, after all, it can be seen from the name that it is limited to the professional field, and this is the case of the National Agricultural College in East Africa, which is not like the junior college in the Far East in the previous life, which is limited to the higher education school of agricultural disciplines, and is destined to be one of the authorities in the field of agricultural education in East Africa in the future.

This is the same as the Heixingen Military Academy, which is actually a junior college, but the major is military.

Although comprehensive universities are very good, East Africa should not think about those that do not have them, and only by cultivating high-level talents can we build the capacity of the world's top comprehensive universities.

"The National Agricultural College covers an area of more than 3,000 acres, with more than 200 teachers and staff, a current collection of 160,000 books, a total of 13 majors such as agronomy, animal husbandry, pesticide science, and plant pathology, and more than 700 students are enrolled this year."

"These students are one of the top students in East Africa, maybe their knowledge reserve is a little worse than that of Europe, but their learning ability is definitely the top, they are all one in a million." Konstantin said.

In 1877, the top 2,000 students in the East African college entrance examination had been sent to Germany and Austria to study at public expense according to the needs of East Africa.

The destination for students studying in East Africa is very particular, and one of the most important ones must be a monarchy, but this restriction may be a big obstacle for East Africa, excluding those "free" countries, East Africa has a lot of options, especially Germany and Austria, where higher education is the same as the world's top level.

In addition to Germany and Austria, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom and other regions in East Africa can be selected, but in addition to the three countries of Germany, Austria and Sweden, the number of international students in other regions is very small, after all, 2,000 people are not enough for Germany to divide a country.

It is worth noting that these 2,000 international students are not all of East African students, because East Africa currently has its own overseas talent training base, so the total number of East African students abroad is about 7,000.

Those East African students who are already abroad receive education in their home countries and take the entrance exams of the schools in their home countries, while the students sent by East Africa mainly have signed agreements with various governments, including Germany and Austria, as well as Sweden and Belgium, which have friendly relations with East Africa.

In other words, these local students, regardless of their grades in East Africa, the above three countries have set aside a certain number of places for East African students in various universities, which is equivalent to guaranteeing admission.

However, East Africa can't smash its own signboards, so it is very careful in the selection of international students, in addition to the unified examination, but also through two re-examinations, and at the same time to conduct a two-month training for these students before going abroad.

The training is mainly based on the customs of the host country, and the etiquette and habits of East African students are corrected, so that they can better integrate into the learning environment in the host country.

International students are the face of a country, especially in a closed country like East Africa, in addition to the employees of the Heixingen Foundation and government personnel, international students can be said to be the largest group in East Africa to contact the world, and their literacy abroad represents the first impression of the overall literacy of overseas East African students.

Konstantin attended the opening ceremony of two schools in Soga, and Ernst was not idle, in addition to Soga, the first town also planned a national medical college.

This is understandable, if you want to say that the city with the highest level of medical care in East Africa, the capital must be the best, after all, this is the political center of East Africa, so according to this advantage, the first medical university in East Africa was set up in the first town.

In addition to these three schools, there are no new schools in East Africa this year, because the number of secondary school graduates in East Africa is not high in the past two years.

There are 2,000 students sent by East Africa, while the three universities in East Africa have only more than 1,800 students, and the number of international students even exceeds the number of local higher education.

If we really want to roll out university-level education on a large scale, it will take at least another ten years, so Ernst's plan now is to add one university every two or three years, and then consider building a number of universities on a large scale after a dozen years.
