In July, it is the annual graduation season.

In Southern Africa, there are now more than 10 comprehensive universities in Europe that have their academic qualifications recognized, and the University of Nyasaland is still one of the best.

In the World University Rankings published by The Times not long ago, the University of Nyasaland ranked among the top three in the world after Oxford and Cambridge.

This ranking has caused dissatisfaction among many schools, but there is nothing to be done, the Times is a British newspaper after all, and it would be hellish if schools from other countries were ranked in the top three.

In fact, it is precisely in this way that the top 10 universities published by The Times are all British schools, and even Rhodes University, which has only been established for a few years, is ranked 11th.

The first batch of students at Rhodes University have not yet left the campus, and they can get such a high ranking because of Xiaosi's investment at any cost and the full support of the Rhodesian state.

In fact, the education industry is not that difficult, as long as you invest enough money, software and hardware are not a problem.

There are also more than one million Chinese in Rhodesia, compulsory education has been implemented for more than ten years, and there is no problem in terms of student origin, but it is actually a matter of time before they enter the top ten.

Unlike the ambitious Rhodes University, the University of Nyasaland has become a world-class university in terms of software and hardware after a decade of hard work.

The "Star Prize" established by the University of Nyasaland has surpassed the "Nobel" to become the world's most famous award.

Cell, published by the University of Nyasaland, has become the most authoritative scientific journal in the world;

The University of Nyasaland even has the largest library in the world, with an unprecedented collection of 18 million volumes.

At present, the University of Nyasaland has more than 19,000 students and students, and thousands of them leave the campus every year, a considerable number of whom are international students.

Higher education in Southern Africa is not free, on the contrary, it is quite expensive, with tuition fees of hundreds of rand per student per year, which is basically the annual income of a middle-class family.

In order to reduce the burden on students, the University of Nyasaland will issue a lot of scholarships and student loans every year, as long as you study hard, you can easily get a scholarship, which is actually about 100 rand a year.

The University of Nyasaland scholarship is only available to southern African students and does not cover foreign students.

Moreover, tuition fees for foreign students are much higher than those for southern African students, reaching a maximum of more than R1,500 per year, and even so, foreign students who want to study at the University of Nyasaland are still like crossing the river.

This year, 3,500 graduates of the University of Nyasaland will leave the campus, which is another unparalleled carnival for southern African companies waiting to be fed.

"Gentlemen, don't rejoice too early, our biggest problem now is not the lack of teachers, nor the lack of teaching facilities, but that our students are facing competition from other schools, and there are fewer and fewer new students who have signed up for the entrance exam in recent years, and this problem must be solved." Clark Bassey, the vice-chancellor in charge of administration, frowned on the university board, saying that a decline in students means less influence, which is not a good thing for the University of Nyasaland.

The current president of the University of Nyasaland is still Abu, but Abu is not in charge of the management of the university, and his main focus is on scientific research.

Roque made Abu the principal in the first place, mainly because of Abu's reputation in the field of scientific research.

To put it bluntly, Abu is a mascot, he does not need to be in charge of the management of the school, but the executive vice-chancellor in charge of management, Clark Bercy, is the real person in charge of the University of Nyasaland.

"So what does it matter? As long as the best students are willing to apply to our University of Nyasaland, it is enough. Although Abu is not in charge of school management, the school committee still has to participate, and such meetings are only held once a month, which will not affect Abu's research.

Just relax.

Only those who can rest will work.

"No, no, no, Professor Kossel, we need good students, and we also need those who are not so good, just like our biology school, we need top scientists like you, but at the same time, we also need young teaching assistants who are not so capable, but there is still room for growth." Clark Bassey thinks more comprehensively than Abu, and the development of the University of Nyasaland over the years is the result of the joint efforts of all people.

The issue of good and bad students has been discussed many times in the education community in Southern Africa.

In fact, there are no good students and bad students, only students who work hard and students who don't work hard, some people work hard, but they really can't learn, it doesn't mean that they have no value, just do what they are not good at.

Some people are very smart, but they are not willing to learn, and the "smart" here is a false proposition.

Really smart people definitely understand the value of learning.

Just like many people in life who are very "smart", they are actually smart, really smart people, and they never let themselves out of the crowd.

"Then don't worry, the previous number of applicants was high because they didn't have a choice—" Provost Mary Ackerman is the only female member of the school committee, with a strong personality and excellent ability, and is also a good friend of Phyllis.

The University of Nyasaland has two systems, one is the management system, which is composed of the President and the Executive Vice-Chancellor, the Vice-Chancellor, and the heads of various faculties.

The other is the provost system, which is mainly responsible for the healthy development of the discipline, and the associate deans of each department who are responsible for teaching tasks are all members of the provost system.

"—It's a good thing that there are more choices now, those who are self-aware, or who don't want to leave their hometowns too far away, can enroll in the nearest school, and the current teaching tasks have actually caused a lot of burden on top scientists like Professor Kossel and Professor Hessling—"Mary Ackerman is delicate, Abu and Heslin are already in their sixties and seventies, and it is very arduous to organize research and insist on lecturing for ordinary students.

At the University of Nyasaland, even the top scientists set aside some time each week to teach to ordinary students.

This is not a requirement of the University of Nyasaland, but the professors have applied on their own initiative, and they have never forgotten their original intentions, and their main duty is to preach and solve doubts.

A "Star Award" winner like Abu has to take a dozen doctoral students to work in three different research institutes on weekdays, and he also dedicates an afternoon every week to go to a public classroom for a big class, and you can't imagine that Abu is 69 years old this year.

"Mary, don't worry about this question, Professor Hesling and I can hold on for a few more years, I'm in better shape than ever, and I can hold on for another ten years." Abu is old and strong, and his physical condition has actually had some problems, but it is not serious.

"Rector, you are the most valuable asset of our University of Nyasaland-" Mary Ackerman was also helpless, the University of Nyasaland has to conduct the most rigorous medical examination of all professors every year, which is a mandatory rule.

"No, our most valuable asset at the University of Nyasaland is our spirit, which is indomitable and never-ending!" Abu's voice is not high, but it contains unparalleled determination.

Clark Bassey is very helpless, he has a lot of power as a vice principal, but his status in the school committee is very low, Abu and Heslin, Mary and others often call Clark Bassie, and Clark Bassey has nothing to do.

Not to mention Clark Bassey, both Roque and Anton are helpless in the face of this group of people.

"How are this year's graduates?" Abu finally remembered that he was the headmaster.

"As always, the on-campus job fair has been held three times, and more than 90% of the graduates have signed contracts, and the rest are orientation trainees or international students, who do not need to participate in the job fair." Clark Bassey was in good spirits, and he was still very useful as the executive vice principal.

Don't look in front of Abu and Mary, Clark Bassey doesn't have much status, and when he leaves the conference room, Clark Bassey is powerful.

Clark Bassey was a member of the Nyasarland Assembly while serving as Executive Vice Chancellor.

"Tell Kay Mallory that my students are going to stay and continue their studies and won't be able to graduate this year." Abu is domineering, and every year Ziwei Hospital also selects outstanding doctors to study at the University of Nyasaland, and several people are selected by Abu and are now working in Abu's research institute.

The best medical school in Southern Africa remains the Johannesburg Medical School.

But the medical school with the strongest scientific research strength is undoubtedly the University of Nyasaland School of Medicine.

A few years ago, the faculty of the University of Nyasaland was spun off, and the then medical school became the University of Nyasaland University, but the University of Nyasaland University and the Johannesburg Medical School both focus on teaching, and in terms of research alone, the University of Nyasaland is still far ahead.

"Okay professor, I'll pass it on to Dean Mallory." Clark Bassey is very obedient, and Kai Mallory is the director of Ziwei Hospital, which now has more than 20 branches in southern Africa, covering all states in southern Africa.

The healthcare system in Southern Africa is also divided into two parts: public and private hospitals, with the public hospitals in the states being public and the Purple Hospital being the property of Phyllis.

Although Ziwei Hospital is a private hospital, it has the strength to surpass public hospitals, with thousands of beds in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Los Angeles, hundreds of doctors and nurses, and an annual income no less than that of industry giants such as Nyasaland Automobile and Nyasaland Airlines.

During the World War, the medical level of southern Africa was well-known at home and abroad, and many doctors in southern Africa were hired by British and French hospitals with high salaries, and even crossed the ocean to the United States.

"Also send a telegram to the Lord asking him to come to the commencement ceremony, the University of Nyasaland is his personal property." Abu is very dissatisfied with Roque, and Roque has indeed not cared enough about the University of Nyasaland in recent years.
