The bottom line of politicians is usually very low, and there is no objection to Franz's proposals, and for the sake of Austria's long-term peace and stability, it is nothing to fool around.

In any case, the top of the cabinet were all nobles from the German regions, and they were Germanic peoples with strong roots, and the Germanization movement would not hurt their national feelings.

However, the Minister of Education was forced to falsify the origin of history, and it was difficult to explain the history of thousands of years ago, but what the hell is Austrian?

"Your Highness, what is the Austrian language?" Count Leo von Tus Ho Hum asked suspiciously

Franz explains: "The mere promotion of the German language can easily cause imbalance in the minds of other ethnic minorities in order to take care of their emotions.

I am going to gather Austrian linguists and historians to create a set of Austrian languages and scripts, with German as the core and the languages of various ethnic minorities. ”

Prime Minister Felix frowned and said: "Your Highness, German is the most common language in Austria, and if you have to learn another Austrian language, is it too troublesome?"

Moreover, a unique Austrian language will deepen our estrangement from the German regions and benefit the traitors of petty Germanism! ”

Franz laughed and said, "It depends on how the Ministry of Education's Austrian language is written?" If we just apply German and only change a few unfamiliar nouns, it won't affect our daily communication, right?

Isn't there a difference between German and German? As long as we can speak Austrian and German normally, there is no such thing as a communication barrier. ”

Everyone's faces returned to normal, if it was just to change the unfamiliar terms that ordinary people couldn't use in their lifetime, then there would be no problem.

Now the right to speak is in the hands of the Austrian government, and it is up to them to change it. The promotion of the German language became the promotion of the Austrian language, in fact, it was just a change of word.

Opposition? It seems that at this time, the opposition in Austria is the weakest, and those who dare to make trouble have seen God in the rebellion, and the rest will stay at the stage of talking at most.

No single policy can win everyone's support. Conservative Austria is not France, and the revolutionary enthusiasm of the people is not so high.

As long as their interests are not harmed, the people will not rise up to make trouble or even rebel because of such a trivial matter.

Franz knew that the Austrian language he had proposed was only for political show, to show that the central government valued each ethnic group and respected their linguistic and cultural traditions.

It's not satisfying for everyone, but it's better to do it than not to do it well. Austrian does include languages and scripts of various ethnic groups, albeit with some unfamiliar terms.

"Your Highness, the assimilation of the written and written language is a long-term investment, and it will take at least twenty years to complete this project, during which a lot of money must be invested uninterruptedly." The Minister of Education, Count Leo von Tus-Hoh, thought for a moment and said

Once a unified language and culture is included in the national policy, the voice of the Ministry of Education will be greatly increased, and the Ministry of Education will be the most important department in Austria for decades to come.

Franz nodded and said, "Of course, I have discussed the issue of funding with the prime minister, and the government will find a way to solve it."

This initiative to unify the language and culture will be combined with compulsory education in Austria.

Before compulsory education is introduced, we still lack a large number of qualified teachers, and the Ministry of Education must solve this problem as soon as possible.

If the recruitment is insufficient, the standard will be lowered for short-term training, as long as the three views are correct, and you can master the primary school knowledge, you can take up the post. ”

Are the three views correct?

What are the three views?

There is no doubt that nature is Franz's version of society, values, and life.

To sum up, it is necessary to support the great Habsburgs, to be loyal to His Majesty the Great Emperor, to abide by the laws and regulations of Austria, and to have no bad habits.

As long as you are faithful enough and your personal ability is insufficient, you can find a way to make up for it.

It's a big deal to set up teacher training courses, and it doesn't matter if it's slow, and we must not let the black sheep lead the next generation.

Prime Minister Felix said: "Yes, the Cabinet has drawn up preliminary plans to build 3,000 new public primary schools across the country and promote compulsory education for all.

In the new public schools, Austrian and mathematics will be taught in all schools. Ethnic language courses are also offered in ethnic minority areas, but local ethnic languages are elective subjects and entrance exams are not counted towards the grades.

Compulsory education in Austria is tentatively set at 6 years, and all children aged 6~12 must enter school to receive compulsory education.

Teenagers over this age must also be admitted by the school if they wish to enter the school.

After the completion of six years of compulsory education, students with excellent grades can enter secondary school through entrance examinations.

Those who are admitted to secondary schools by personal ability, and those whose families are in difficulty, can be funded by the government to complete their studies, and the same is true for later universities. ”

"Prime Minister, what about the funding? Even if we all adopt the lowest grade configuration, the annual expenditure will not be less than Rp 50 million, plus the allocation of higher education, I am afraid that the education expenditure will exceed Rp 100 million in the future.

Charging tuition fees alone is just a drop in the bucket. The government's fiscal revenue is limited, even if you include the Hungarian region, it is only 300 million dong at most. Can the government spend one-third of its money on education? Count Leo von Tus Hohm said with a frown

Don't think he's the Secretary of State for Education and doesn't care about other issues. In the big picture, it is unlikely that the Austrian government will devote one-third of its financial resources to education.

The Austrian government needs to invest in many aspects, in this era of the law of the jungle, blind investment in education, it is estimated that the country will be finished ahead of schedule before the education dividend is generated.

Felix shook his head and said, "There is no need to charge any fees, ordinary people simply cannot afford this expense, and the government will find a way to solve it."

The Ministry of Education will make a plan as soon as possible, and we will calculate the education expenses for the next year, and in 1849 Austria will start compulsory education. ”

The matter of taking the church under the knife is still in the stage of secrecy. Franz's accession to the throne is imminent, and now that stability is paramount, it is natural that there will be no extraneous complications at this time.

Franz said: "Okay, the specific funding problem, the cabinet government will hold a separate meeting to figure out a way, and today the main issue is the implementation of compulsory education."

Austria is not rich, we can only engage in poor education. With limited financial expenses, we should train as many talents as possible. ”

This cultivates talents? Obviously, it is not about cultivating any high-tech talents, and Franz cannot set such high requirements, and compulsory education only cultivates industrial workers with a certain degree of cultural knowledge.

Even industrial workers who have graduated from primary school, under the huge base, will always produce a group of qualified engineers, and their growth ceiling is much higher than that of illiterate people who can only work as coolies.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The Minister of Education, Count Leo von Tus Hoh, replied

Compulsory education in Austria is modeled after the Kingdom of Prussia next door. In this era, only the Kingdom of Prussia successfully completed compulsory education, and Britain and France had not yet begun compulsory education.

Learn from Prussia in terms of framework, but when it comes to specific details, the two sides are different.

Austria is engaged in compulsory education at this time, in fact, it is also poor education, in short, how cheap it is.

According to Franz's plan, this kind of cheap compulsory education is really not expensive.

For example, if you go to a school, you can borrow a local church, or confiscate the property of the rebels, or you can mobilize the people to build a few wooden houses, which can be used first.

Another example: textbooks, as long as the teacher has books in his hands, whether students can get textbooks depends on the funding, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are omitted, and each person can go to class with a sand table.

The biggest expenses are teachers' salaries and students' food expenses.

Franz had experienced hard times before he crossed over, and he knew that for many people at the bottom, three meals a day was a heavy burden.

Many families can't afford to have parents pay for their children's food, otherwise there wouldn't be so many child laborers.

If the economic conditions allow, who can be ruthless and let a child of a few years old into a dark factory?

You know, the casualty rate of child labor is very high, and it is likely that when you leave in the morning, you will be fine, but you will not see anyone at night.

Dead, also in vain, no one will hold the capitalists accountable. At most, they will pay a few years of salary compensation, and it will be over.

In order not to reduce the fertility rate, Franz decided not to increase the educational burden on parents, and the government should bear the burden of compulsory education.

Anyway, in this era, everyone will not be picky, no matter how good the school environment is, it is much better than in the factory. No matter what, Franz was able to ensure that there were enough black bread tubes and would not make them hungry.

Of course, as a high-ranking crown prince, it is better not to put forward this method by him, and it is better to have the people at the bottom put it forward, so that it is more convincing.

"Putting out the news that Austria is ready to start compulsory education, we solicit opinions from the private sector to find an education model with the lowest cost and the most suitable for Austria." Franz said
