v2 Chapter 1333: reform of the public education system

"Never since the Napoleonic Wars have relations between Britain and France been so fraught with thorns."

The headlines placed on the round table in the conference room are in a state of no one's attention, just like the turbulent European situation at this time, it is very important, but it is under the calm sea.

Papa, Alan Wilson clapped his hands to attract the attention of the participants in the foreign ministry meeting and said, "Go to Moscow this time and get the trade agreement we want. During this short window, don't let France In the current situation, it is extremely important for the UK to re-develop trade relations with Eastern Europe. The UK must be at the forefront of science, and the backward way of life will be eliminated, which is inevitable."

"Britain will rush into the heat of the scientific and technological revolution, while outdated industrial systems and methods of operation will be eliminated." That's what Harold Wilson said when he was campaigning. Now Whitehall is doing its best to help the Prime Minister fulfill his campaign promises.

Of course, Whitehall has also tried its best to help the Conservative Party government, but Aiden is a diplomatic expert, and his best efforts are reflected in diplomatic work.

The progress of Whitehall's work depends on Alan Wilson's judgment. For example, the nationalization of the water supply system will not be completed even if there is one day left this year. It will take a whole year to successfully implement it safely and without harming the interests of all parties. As for the economic and trade relations with the Soviet Union, the sooner the better. Nothing is absolute.

"Understood, Secretary-General." A group of diplomats promised one after another that Alan Wilson had replaced all the people in various departments with his own people after being the executive undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for so many years.

There is no pro-American faction in the current Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and of course there is no pro-European faction. It is all a moral vacuum from the British perspective.

The supreme authority is different. He is both pro-American and pro-European. When necessary, he can even be pro-Soviet.

After the meeting was over, Alan Wilson walked out of the conference room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and on the way back to his office, he met Frank, the executive undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance. Judging from the expression on his face, he knew that he must be in a bad mood.

Called Frank down and the two went for a walk on the outdoor lawn, Frank did not hide it, "The two big problems at the moment are both related to the Ministry of Finance. Nationalization requires money, and the construction of public universities is not a sum of money. Little expense."

"Indeed." Alan Wilson nodded. After the Prime Minister came to power this time, he focused on promoting two things. In addition to nationalization, there is also the education of public universities.

Public universities in the UK cannot be said to be happy, at least compared with the public education system in the United States, they are completely conscience. Running into a Labor-born prime minister is expected to strengthen in the coming period.

Don't look at Mrs. Thatcher as the Minister of Education for a period of time during the Eden government. Her Minister of Education hardly showed any achievements. Alan Wilson personally promoted a lot of education work, showing objectivity and neutrality, and facing up to British colonialism. History has emphasized the different policies of the major colonial empires, and Britain is actually the most conscientious one.

Regarding the triangular trade, it is emphasized that Britain first abolished slavery, and it was the Americans who insisted on selling black slaves, which has nothing to do with Britain.

The number of Indians in North America did not start to decrease when the British landed in North America, as it was also caused by the westward movement of the United States.

Under his care, the British textbooks also included some content of hostile camps to show objective neutrality. For example, countries in the Soviet bloc criticized a country for having foreign military bases, and it was not a completely independent sovereign country. What are you afraid of?

The UK does not have it, but there are quite a few in Germany, and France has NATO military bases so far. Even if British students read the passages in the textbook, they can proudly puff up their chests.

"In fact, there are two ways to refer to the promotion of the public education system. Let's talk about it at that time." Alan Wilson looked at the time, and it was almost time to get off work. No matter what is important, we will talk about it tomorrow.

In fact, it is nothing more than two evolution routes. The first one is happy education. Of course, this name may not sound good, so you can change it to quality education.

This is not bad, at least it is a way to spend a small amount of money on happy education to do big things and reduce the cost of public education. Teachers in public middle schools are low-income earners. Teachers went on strike several times. The result of the strike was a 5% salary increase.

The wages can't go up, and the teachers don't have any sense of responsibility in teaching. School ends at three o'clock in the afternoon, and less homework is assigned. In this way, you study happily and I teach happily, which together is happy education. Ordinary poor people go to this kind of school.

what's the result? Education automatically completes social stratification. Poor people feel that they are enjoying "happy education", which is not bad, let their nature fly. The society above the middle class does not believe in this, and still practices: high-intensity learning under high pressure.

The joyful education at the beginning is indeed out of the original intention of saving costs and expanding the scope of education, but is it not? The United States has its own national conditions here. After transforming into a loan society, this original intention collapsed. Education is still happy, but the students who go to school still spend a lot of money.

After going home and explaining the current situation, Pamela Mountbatten remained silent, and then asked, "My dear, do you have any other methods besides this method?"

"There is another way, which is to take the difficulty level at the beginning of the child's elementary school, and eliminate most ordinary people who are not qualified enough from the beginning." Alan Wilson sighed suddenly when he said this, "It seems that this time, One more purpose of visiting the Soviet Union is to inspect the Soviet education system."

Can things other than education be stuffed in and occupy the time of education? And it can benefit the country from another level.

The light in Alan Wilson's eyes flickered, and Pamela Mountbatten accurately caught it, and asked directly, "What's your idea?"

"I'm going to strengthen patriotism education in the UK." Alan Wilson glanced at his wife and said in a long voice, "The best way to demonstrate patriotism education is to add military training content to education at all levels, such as freedom. , also needs to be defended.”

British universities do not have military training, but the Soviet Union did. In the Soviet Union, all secondary schools, technical schools and vocational schools will conduct initial military training in accordance with the "Universal Military Obligation Law".

The "Universal Military Obligation Law" is the basic law for establishing the national defense system of the Soviet Union and the core of the entire military law system of the Soviet Union. This law defines the basic composition of the armed forces of the USSR, as well as the duties, conditions and manner of citizens of the USSR in the performance of defense of the Fatherland, military service and other obligations related to national defense.

"Learning the military training of the Soviet Union, will people question it?" Pamela Mountbatten frowned, and asked cautiously, "There have always been remarks that the prime minister is supported by the Soviet Union."

"Those idiots in the Conservative Party who only have muscles in their heads know what the Soviet Union is. What I want to learn is the United States. Don't you know that the history of the Boy Scouts of America is earlier than that of the Soviet Union? Of course it is a non-governmental organization and a national organization of the Soviet Union. Not the same. But the national conditions are different, I said I was learning from the United States, and then actually adopted the model of the Soviet Union.”

However, the most famous thing about the Boy Scouts of America in later generations is that the various Boy Scout organizers have done some shady things to the boys and girls who were trained. In the United States, the military discipline of the U.S. military is notorious. Although it is notorious in overseas operations, the U.S. military has proved with practical actions that we are equal regardless of internal and external.

Alan Wilson figured that in this way, students who are suitable for specific talents can be screened out during the military training process, for example, suitable for serving in the army? Be an athlete? play soccer? If all public schools are included, the education time of public universities can be compressed, and one month of time can be compressed every year, and a lot of education time can be created in private schools out of thin air.

It can also increase the military-civilian relationship, and we don’t expect any military-civilian fish and water situation, but the military-civilian relationship improves, and there are other benefits. For example, if British citizens are keen on national defense, they can want to cut military spending from time to time~lightnovelpub.net~ Isn't this a big gain.

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became. He didn't even notice that Hepburn's movie was playing on TV, and he was completely immersed in his own world.

"Hepburn is really an elegant woman." Pamela Mountbatten looked at the image on TV and sighed sincerely.

"It's as thin as ribs." As soon as the absent-minded Alan Wilson said, he immediately felt that something was wrong, glanced at his wife from the corner of his eye, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

After about ten seconds, Pamela Mountbatten suddenly realized, twisting her neck to the right and asking, "It's as if you've seen it before."

Ten seconds bought Alan Wilson precious time to survive, and he replied in an unquestionable tone, "Then you don't need to see it, you can tell by looking at your cheeks that there must be not much flesh on your body."

Alan Wilson came to the Prime Minister's office and added a task of investigating the Soviet education system to the diplomatic team that was about to set off to sign a trade agreement. "Prime Minister, we need to understand our enemy."

"Allen, don't say that, we are in a world of reconciliation." Harold Wilson did not object to this suggestion. The reform of the public education system he promoted was his campaign promise. He was also happy, "Tell me about Whitehall's opinion on this matter."

Of course, it was a compliment based on the prime minister's wisdom and greatness at the core, and based on the national interest. Alan Wilson's statement on behalf of Whitehall made the prime minister very happy.

"I am going to let Dixon go to the Ministry of Education as the executive undersecretary. I know him well, and he will overcome all difficulties to ensure the smooth progress of the prime minister's reform. I think the appointment is very suitable after this negotiation is over." Alan Wilson Advised the Prime Minister on the future of the Principal Private Secretary to the Foreign Secretary.
