Chapter 230： Education Reform Act (Part 2)

After meeting with Edel, Minister Florica returned to the Ministry of Education and immediately carried out reforms vigorously. Many people with insufficient abilities were removed from key positions, and department responsibilities were divided in detail.

The most important thing is to promote the promulgation of the new Romanian Education Law, in which the education of school-age children is mandatory. Every Romanian child must receive education, and parents of school-age children who have not received education will be fined. If the child is still denied education, he will be punished with a fixed-term imprisonment of not more than 3 years.

At the same time, the Ministry of Education has begun to expand the enrollment scale of secondary schools. Romania’s primary and secondary school students are now 897,500 and 41,700 respectively. Only if the ratio reaches 21.5 primary school students can one enter secondary school to continue studying, which is more common than the 10 in other powerful countries. One elementary school student has to go to the middle school too much. Not even prominent in the Balkans.

This has a lot to do with Romania's previous use of a large amount of government finances for the army. Now Edel intends to correct this mistake (mainly because he has money to invest in education). So now Romania has invested heavily to make up for its previous mistakes.

Of course, in addition to compulsory education and expansion of enrollment, the Ministry of Education has established a national charity organization that subsidizes students in need, called the Project Hope Fund (don’t ask who got it). This fund also accepts nationwide donations and has donation points in major cities in Romania. And in order to reassure the public, the Hope Project will also accept the supervision of the royal family, and its accounts will be checked every year.

On the second day of the establishment of Project Hope, Queen Sophie Mary donated a huge sum of 100 million lei on behalf of the royal family. This has attracted a lot of reports in the Romanian media, and some people call Queen Sophie Mary the Messiah of Romania. Other nobles and wealthy people also followed the news, generously donated their money, and then led the Romanian people to donate money. In the first month of its establishment, Project Hope received a total donation of 194.3 million lei.

This surprised the officials of education, and they all talked about the importance of education to the people nowadays. It's just that Minister Florica can see clearly that at this time, the royal family has brought a trend, if deducting this month, the annual donation can reach one-fifth of the current total amount, then he should be secretly happy. One year later, the final facts proved that Minister Florica's vision was correct. At that time, Project Hope deducted the donation for this month, and only received 28,819,647 lei this year.

Of course, the Romanian royal family will not only have donations, and then Edel announced in the name of the king that the royal family will build one of the best comprehensive universities in the country in Galati. There will be some reductions in fees for students entering this university, and for some students who are really difficult, the school will completely reduce their fees after the inspection is confirmed. However, construction of this university has only begun, and it will take two years to recruit students.

This caused a lot of discussion among the middle school students who were still studying, and they all planned to try it when they applied for the school.

With the royal family's two consecutive big moves in education, the Romanian people have felt the royal family's kindness. For a time, the prestige of the royal family reached its peak, and people all over the country said that God had sent them a wise monarch. Edel is very satisfied with the attitude of the people, but he knows that gratitude has timeliness, and it may be this group of people who will abolish the royal family.

Minister Florica's actions are of course more than that. Then the Ministry of Education ordered the preparation of a new textbook on the grounds of reveries in textbooks, with the focus on history textbooks. During the compilation, the editors who were instructed by Minister Florica drastically revised the humiliation process of Romanians by other alien dominations in history. In order to deepen the impression of the students, the editors also added a few short stories to it. .

The most impressive one is Michia's note board, which is a daily event written on a wooden board by a girl named Michia who lived in the 13th century. This wooden board records the short life of the girl. From the earliest records, historians know that this Michiya was writing daily life when he was 16 years old. It records that they seemed to be daily life at the time, and even had companions. The girl was thrown to feed the wolves because she was offended by the master, which made the Romanians feel humiliated in later generations.

It finally records that Mitia said that the Hungarian master planned to sell them to buy new girls, and they planned to fight. If successful, she would come back to take this plank. Obviously Mitia did not succeed because she The beloved plank is no longer recorded.

However, it is a pity to tell the truth about the cruelty of the Hungarian nobles, but the Hungarians have performed much better in history, but it is not as compelling as this story. Of course, the story of Michia was also written by the editors of Minister Florica. As for why he did this, I have to ask King Edel.

In fact, Edel only mentioned to Minister Florica that he needed to pay more attention to the period of Hungarian rule. But I didn't expect these editors to write such a tearful story, but this is what Edel hopes to see.

He now needs the Romanian people to gradually hate his Hungarians, because in the next few years his main goal is Hungary after the disintegration of Austria-Hungary. Moreover, Hungary and Romania have always been feuds in the original time and space The main reason is disputes over territories. In this life, Edel believes that more benefits should be gained from Hungary, so he doesn't care about enmity Hungary.

Besides, is the Kingdom of Hungary oppressing ethnic minorities less? Now all ethnic minorities are being oppressed by them. Even after the First World War, other ethnic groups in the Krisana, Banat, and Maramures regions near Transylonia would rather join Romania than stay in Hungary. This could be voted on at that time. After the disintegration, even the Germans in the above-mentioned regions also agreed to join Romania. This shows how much Hungary failed in the issue of ethnic minorities.

As soon as the newly compiled history textbook was published, it caused a lot of controversy. Some people say that the Romanians are too miserable, and they can't accept it at all. It is still said that many of this textbook has not been verified, how can we make a conclusion like this?

However, all these remarks are irrelevant to Minister Florica, who is in charge of the preparation work. What he needs now is for every Romanian student to read the humiliation from this book, so as to use public opinion to trigger them. Only when the country is strong can they guarantee that they will not encounter dangerous thoughts.

But judging from the effect a few years later, Minister Florica's goal was achieved.
