Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 119: Education reform

Views:

There are three fires when the new official takes office, not to mention the new emperor Franz ascending the throne. If he does not make some achievements, how can he be worthy of his identity as a transmigrator

"Reform" has become the theme of the government. There are many problems in the Austrian Empire. Even after last year's great revolution, a lot of garbage was cleaned up, but the carrion attached to this empire is still there.

Want to cut meat? This is too painful, Franz said that the current Austrian Empire can't afford to hurt, and there is no anesthesia, and it might lead to death.

He is not going to die like this, so he can only clear the hidden danger bit by bit. After all, the serfs have been liberated, the land issue has been settled, and the working class is barely able to fill their stomachs.

The bourgeoisie who dared to make trouble and the slanderous party have gone through a major purge some time ago, and there are not many left.

Those who survived were all wise men, who knew what to say and what not to say; what to do and what not to do.

Citizens of Vienna who have experienced a revolution have a deep hatred for the revolutionary party, who dares to promote revolutionary ideas to them, keep a beating, and then send them to the police station.

Up to now, the Vienna Police Department has received dozens of such rebels. After a few months of public security rectification, hundreds of members of the chaotic party were arrested, which dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the revolutionaries.

A large part of them were young students, which made Franz very angry and made up his mind to rectify the Austrian education system.

Freedom of speech is okay, but everyone must be responsible for what they have said. All those who talk nonsense, spread rumors, and maliciously slander must go to prison to reflect.

The school is independent from the government and does not accept the supervision of government departments, and it is gone forever. Universities, in particular, are the focus of supervision.

Like before the March Revolution, the University of Vienna refused to allow the police to enter and arrest the revolutionary party, which is impossible now.

If it does happen, then I'm sorry to all those who hinder the performance of official duties, go to jail with criminals, the law does not exist in Austria.

"Count Huo Heng, what are the specific plans of the Ministry of Education to strengthen ideological education for young students?" Franz asked

The Minister of Education, Earl Leo-von-Tus-Horhen, quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Education has decided to add an ideological education teacher in the school, who is specially responsible for the ideological education of students. Once any bad signs are found, they will be killed immediately. .

In order to strengthen the management of the school, the Ministry of Education has decided that the appointment of the main leaders of the school in the future must be reported to the Ministry of Education for approval, and the same is true for private schools.

The annual number of students enrolled by the school must be reported to the local education department for the record; the teaching staff employed by the school must have correct thinking and no criminal record.

In order to strengthen the management of universities and colleges, the Ministry of Education will provide reference opinions on the types of majors opened by schools and the number of students enrolled in each major.

The Ministry of Education will determine the amount of financial allocation for each institution in the coming year based on the performance of each institution. Institutions with frequent problems will be banned and those responsible will be held legally responsible. "

This is to start with the money bag. It is very expensive to engage in education. Without the support of the government, it is estimated that most schools will close by charging tuition fees alone.

In this era, Austria adopted an elite education model. The number of students enrolled in each school was small, basically only a few hundred people, and there were also 180 people in the teaching staff.

In this case, without funding from the Ministry of Education, if primary and secondary schools charge a little more tuition, the source of students is from rich families, and it may be barely sustainable.

Once you get to the university, you will not be able to. If you don’t have money, you will not be able to support experts and professors. Even if you enroll all liberal arts students, you will not be able to support it.

This is Austria, don't expect donations from society, schools that are not welcome by the government, are also not welcome by celebrities.

Franz thought for a while and said: "Supervision must be taken seriously, and it is very necessary for the Ministry of Education to guide school enrollment.

Some majors that society does not need recruit so many students, and graduation is equivalent to unemployment. Isn't this a misunderstanding

At the same time of supervision, it is also necessary to implement the education responsibility system, except that the problem can be held to the responsible person.

The principal of a school is the first responsible person. As a principal, it is the responsibility of educating every student. When it comes to a class, we can implement the class teacher responsibility system and designate a teacher to be in charge of a class.

The specific situation is determined by you according to the actual situation. Before the implementation of compulsory education, we must first manage the existing schools.

This kind of management must pay attention to the strategy, while ensuring the smooth progress of the teaching work, it must also strengthen the ideological education of the students.

However, it is not necessary to set up a special ideological education teacher, which is very easy to cause backlash.

We can divide these ideological education into subjects such as history, politics, and language, and make these contents compulsory for the entrance examination.

The Ministry of Education must supervise the entrance examination, and no one can mess with it. If the children of rich people want bad grades, they should pay a school sponsorship fee if they want to go to school. Don't let these people mess up our education system. "

Franz is also guarding against the small and the gradual. If there is no way for the rich, they will find a way to corrupt the education system. It is better to put a price on it.

It doesn't matter if you don't pass the test, you can give the money to go in. Whether you can graduate or not is your child's problem. It's really not possible. Then you pay another sum of money and sell your child a graduation certificate.

Prime Minister Felix proposed: "Your Majesty, since we have decided to popularize compulsory education, should we restrict private education now? These private schools are always a hidden danger.

Education is sacred and should not be turned into a tool for some people's personal gain! "

His remarks are not without basis. After investigating the young students who participated in the Vienna rebellion, it was found that nearly 80% of them went out from private schools.

The young students who often participate in the demonstrations are basically students in private schools, and public schools usually prohibit students from leaving the campus during school hours.

That is to say, the source of revolutionary ideas is mostly spread from these private schools that are independent of the government system, which subtly affects the life concept of young people.

The funny thing is that this kind of private school also takes the education funds of the Austrian government. In the end, the Austrian government made money, and the capitalists made money and trained a group of students who were anti-government.

"This is indeed a problem, how is the Ministry of Education going to solve it?" Franz asked

As an emperor, he didn't have the habit of thinking everything by himself, and letting his subordinates follow them.

If he really did that, the people below would be idle, and he would be exhausted himself. Such diligent emperors are usually short-lived, and there are many in ancient and modern China and abroad.

What's even more tragic is that if you don't have enough experience, it's easy to do stupid things. Tired of hard work, the final harvest is thankless, the representative is Emperor Chongzhen.

The wisdom of one person is always inferior to the wisdom of a group of people. There are specialties in the art industry, and professional things are better done by professionals.

As an emperor, you can revise the plans of your subordinates or abolish their plans, but you must never let your subordinates make plans.

Earl Leo-von-Tus-Hohen replied: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Education is still discussing this issue, and we have two options for dealing with it.

First, the private sector is prohibited from continuing to build private schools, and the government invests in the acquisition of established private schools, and fully brings education into the scope of government management;

Second, stop the education funding for private schools, strengthen the approval of the establishment of private schools, and strengthen the management of private schools. "

Both models are targeting private schools, but the first is more extreme.

The Ministry of Education now loathes the idea of chaos. For this reason, nearly 100 teachers have been fired from public schools, and some of them have been sent to education.

Franz sneered and said: "Stop funding private schools, since they are private schools, they will naturally be responsible for their own profits and losses.

An investor responsibility system should be added to strengthen the management of private schools.

If there is an incident of mass dissemination of illegal ideas in private schools, let the behind-the-scenes capitalists go to jail with the principal! "

The Austrian government still has to pay attention to eating and drinking, and it is impossible to solve the problem across the board. In European society, education in this era was originally a business.

It’s just that it’s a unique business with a different meaning. Those who invest in education in this era are definitely not so-called philanthropists, they are all purposeful.

Children of the lower classes are not eligible to study, even in the cheapest church schools, they cannot afford even the most basic pen and paper.

In this environment, who has the ability to support poor students? It's not one or two, it's not 120,000, it's millions of people in desperate need of education.

The reality is far more cruel than what is recorded in textbooks. In this era, Franz is very clear that this is a dark era.
