It sounds very difficult to implement compulsory education, but in fact it is not that difficult, the key is the volume, in a country with a population of more than one billion people, it is as difficult as a sky, and in a country with a population of less than a few million, it is much simpler, and the difficulty is not an order of magnitude at all.

Nyasaland has a good experience in this regard, and the situation in Orange is similar to that of Nyasaland, where students are not native English speakers, the difference is that schools in Nyasaland make English compulsory, while Orange is only an elective subject, it doesn't matter whether you know English or not, Boolean is also the official language in southern Africa anyway.

For Orange, the biggest problem was that there were not enough teachers in schools in Orange, and Roque was hiring teachers from the UK to work in southern Africa to gradually solve this problem, and Orange wanted to do the same, that is, English should also be made a compulsory subject, and a language school should be established.

This is difficult to do, after all, Orange is part of southern Africa, and it is a bit ridiculous to go to a language school when you are educated in your own country.

Then there is the question of the acceptance of education by the Boers.

Unlike the Chinese worship of knowledge, the attitude of the Boers towards knowledge is not so positive, and the Chinese have a saying that everything is inferior only to high reading, not to mention whether this statement is correct or not, this statement fully reflects the Chinese attitude towards knowledge.

The Boers did not have a similar tradition, and the most enthusiastic way for the Boers to get rich in recent years was to get rich overnight, and many Boers who found mineral deposits on the farms did not develop their own crops, but sold their farms to the British, and took the money to Europe to spend their own money.

This is also a Boolean version of homecoming.

So it's going to take a long time to make education compulsory for Boers, and there's a lot of work to be done by the Orange government in this regard.

How to draft the document was Carlos's business, and Luis Botha needed to know more, so the next day he started his inspection of the school in Little Rock.

"The best school is, of course, the University of Nyasaland Primary School, where Arthur and Gavin also attended, are you sure you want to visit the Primary School?" Roque harbored evil intentions, and if Louis Botha went to the affiliated elementary school, it was estimated that he would be hit.

The school that can make Phyllis give up aristocratic family education is really not comparable to ordinary schools, there is no need to list all kinds of hardware facilities, the library of the affiliated primary school is the largest library in Little Rock except for the state library, and nearly half of the teachers in the primary school affiliated to the University of Nyasaland are graduates of the School of Education of the University of Nyasaland, and the other half are hired from the British mainland with high salaries, which can beat the vast majority of aristocratic schools nowadays.

The reason why it has such a strong strength is inseparable from the various donations of the students' parents, don't forget that even Arthur and Gavin are in the affiliated primary school, so the parents who want their children to be classmates with the future Viscount of Nyasaland are like crossing the river, and there are only 50 students in a class of the affiliated primary school, and how to achieve the goal will show their abilities.

In the year Arthur and Gavin entered the school, the affiliated primary school received more than 1.2 million rands, it doesn't matter if it's not a class, it's okay for a grade, there is also a relationship in Chinese culture called the same year.

"No, just find one, the attached primary school certainly does not represent the true level of public education in Nyasaland." Louis Botha is not stupid, with the power of Orange, he can also make a passable elementary school, but that doesn't make much sense, Louis Botha wants universal compulsory education, not an aristocratic school like Ziwei College.

In fact, Ziwei Public School really does not represent the highest level of education nowadays, not to mention the primary school affiliated to the University of Nyasaland, even in the Transvaal, the strength of Ziwei Public School and the strength of the miner's children's school is also dwarfed, but Ziwei Public School was established earlier, so it is widely sought after, the real strength, the miner's children's school is much better than the Ziwei Public School, this situation is only known to a few people, the University of Nyasaland enrolls new students every year, and the miner's children school occupies a large proportion, The classes with the best grades are simply the ones that are connected to the end, and the kind of interview that is specially recruited in advance.

It didn't show off, and Roque didn't have much regrets, the public schools in Nyasaland are also very good, and the public education schools in Orange were beaten in all aspects, and Louis Botha picked one of the fifteen elementary schools in Little Rock, Sunset Elementary School.

"Why this?" Roque was curious.

"No, it's pleasing to the eye." Louis Botha casual.

Luo Ke smiled, the reason why Sunset Elementary School used this name really has nothing to do with the sun not setting, Sunset means that the school is located on Sunset Avenue, and there is really no insinuation.

Then go to Sunset Elementary.

In fact, this choice is also wrong, if all the elementary schools in Little Rock are ranked in a ranking, then Sunset Elementary School is still in the top five even if it is not ranked in the top three, after all, Sunset Avenue is surrounded by the noble residential area of Little Rock, which is the so-called rich area, how can the schools in the rich area be poor.

Before arriving at Sunset Elementary School, Louis Botha still got to know Sunset Elementary School in the car.

"Please, if you didn't want to see it, I didn't even know there was Sunset Elementary School, how could you let me introduce it? Even Little Rock has fifteen elementary schools, a number that I just knew. Roque was speechless, the work of the two ministries was still very busy, Roque didn't even have time to manage Nyasaland, and Anton was the governor.

Limited to the space in the cabin, the co-pilot is sitting in Zack, and don't expect Zack to introduce him, even if Zack knows, he can't say.

"You're really incompetent as a lord." Louis Botha habitually complained that he didn't feel that the minister was too busy, and it was ironic that the minister of agriculture couldn't manage the farm.

"The Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Justice are not like your idle Ministry of Agriculture—" Roque also spat out, this is the reality of southern Africa, busy to death, idle to death.

"Why is our Ministry of Agriculture doing nothing?" Louis Botha blackfaces and expressed his displeasure with Roque's attitude.

"What about the grades?" Roque hit the nail on the head.

"You capitalists have bought more than half of the farms in southern Africa, so how can I make a difference?" Louis Botha was angry that the Ministry of Agriculture had no results because of unscrupulous capitalists like Roque Jr. Henry.

"There is also a small half-" Roque is not angry, he can't blame the capitalists for being unscrupulous, he can only blame the Ministry of Agriculture for being an afterthought, blame the Ministry of Agriculture for not having money, and blame the Ministry of Agriculture for not having the right to speak.

"The remaining half is a mountainous hill swamp, what can I do?" Louis Botha was rightly strong.

Roque did not refute, despising this nineteenth-century hillbilly who had not seen the terraces and did not know about the Great Northern Wilderness.

There are still fewer people and more trouble, and the good plains can't be used, and it is clear that the wasteland is the best good land, and the grass can only grow barren for thousands of years, and no one has to make any terraces.

"Southern Africa now has more than 3 million square kilometers, private land accounts for more than half, the Ministry of Agriculture has a pitiful amount of money every year, and the salary is not enough, what can you do if you replace you—" Louis Botha thought that Roque had nothing to say.

This more than 3 million square kilometers is not the data measured by the Ministry of Agriculture, but the data quoted from the official documents of Nyasaland, in the era when there were no remote sensing satellites, it was basically impossible to measure the land, and the maps published by the federal government of southern Africa were all crooked, and the maps in Roque's impression were very different, and the maps published by different states were different.

Don't ask how Nyasaland measured it, asking is revealing the secrets.

"The positioning of your Ministry of Agriculture is wrong, and the government department is a service agency, not a management agency." Roque was ahead of its time.

"Your Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Justice are also service agencies?" Louis Botha scoffed.

"The Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Justice are not the same as your Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Justice are both organs of state violence." It was only then that Roque realized the true meaning of the phrase that the barrel of the gun is the last word.

Sunset Elementary School is not far from the Rhodesia Hotel, so when the convoy came to Sunset Elementary School, the principal of the elementary school who greeted him at the door saw such a scene.

The two ministers seemed to be chatting happily, one was bitter and hateful, and the other was triumphant, which was simply the sense of déjà vu of Yang Bailao and Huang Shiren.

Well, at this time, there is actually no Yang Bailao and Huang Shiren.

Like other schools in Little Rock, Sunset Elementary School is closed to the public gate, where you can't see the teaching area directly, you have to go around the shadow wall behind the gate and then go through the playground to get to the teaching area.

"There are 49 classes in Sunset Elementary School, with an average of 52 students per class, and there are 117 faculty members in the school, and there are only two graduates of the Faculty of Education of the University of Nyasaland.

However, this bitter cry was unsuccessful, and the graduates of the Faculty of Education of the University of Nyasaland were good, and the other schools did not have any.

The Faculty of Education of the University of Nyasaland is the largest department of the University of Nyasaland, producing nearly 1,000 graduates each year.

This scale is estimated to be second to none in the world, but it still cannot meet the needs of southern Africa, there is no way, the gap is too big, and the University of Nyasaland has tried its best, but the supply is still outstripping.

"Stick to it, go to Brant early next year, he won't give you and stay in his office." Roark is the head of the Nyasala State Department of Education.

To provide the best education for the next generation, it is necessary to increase investment in the education industry.

Louis Botha didn't pay attention to the exchange between Roque and the headmaster, and all that went back and forth in his mind were two numbers, 49, 52-

If memory serves, it seems that Roque just said that there are 15 elementary schools in Little Rock.

And that's just Little Rock.
