Greece’s Roman Road

Chapter 176: education reform

According to Laris news, the government intends to invest 12 million drachmas in the construction of several new universities, which is a very clever conspiracy.

Twelve million dollars for the construction of three new universities may not be enough.

So, Larry's words can be understood in this way, that is, the government's investment in education is only used for the construction of these universities.

Undoubtedly, the government does this by picking peaches directly, while watering and fertilizing, and taking care of the peach trees. All these hard work and hard work are done by the foundation. The foundation is still responsible for primary and secondary education.

Higher education is the terminal of the education system and the concentrated manifestation of educational achievements.

Universal primary education can open up people's intelligence, improve people's quality, and improve their literacy rate. However, these benefits are not intuitive and cannot be intuitively felt.

But higher education is different. The number of college students trained, and college graduates become social elites such as lawyers and scientists. These achievements of higher education are very intuitive.

Therefore, the government can show a great sense of achievement to the public by spending less money on the government's finances. This approach is very thief.

The education foundation and the government compete for influence in the field of education, which is essentially a contradiction between the kingship and the government. Therefore, although Prime Minister Alexandros has a close relationship with Constantine himself, he himself knows As for the royal family's actions in the field of education, the government will not sit idly by and let the control of the field of education fall.

Constantine's mind was spinning, and these thoughts came to his mind one by one.

No matter what the original intention of the government's investment in education is, it is indeed a good thing for the development of education in Greece.

At the very least, after the government's investment is completed, there are several more universities in Greece, which can cultivate more talents every year.

"The government is willing to increase investment in the field of education, which is naturally a good thing, but the higher education in Greece is not urgently needed in its realization stage," Ikios said happily when he heard the government's investment.

"Instead, it is technical colleges. Greece is currently in short supply of technical talents. It is not as cost-effective to build a group of technical schools."

The level of a technical school is equivalent to that of a high school in the education system. However, if a high school student cannot enter a university, there is not much advantage in employment.

The technical school is different, the study time is short, after all, there is no need to go to four years of university, which can save four years of time and money cost.

Learn professional and practical skills in technical schools. Graduates of these technical schools are very popular with factory owners. The rapid development of Greek technical colleges is a proof.

As for higher education, considering the total population and economic structure of Greece, there are simply not so many high-end jobs for college students.

Moreover, once the number of college graduates expands rapidly, resulting in serious unemployment of graduates, it will cause serious social problems.

Moreover, it will lead to a waste of talents, high-level talents will be succumbed to low-end jobs, and they will engage in low-end jobs that high school students or even people with lower education levels can be competent for.

Historically, after the independence of Bulgaria, the number of college students increased rapidly, but the society could not provide them with sufficient jobs. As a result, these large numbers of unemployed college graduates later became the main force of the revolution and the source of strength for the Bulgarian gcd.

"What President Ichios said is very reasonable. The development of higher education cannot be out of touch with social reality, and the number of college students is not the better." Constantine advised Laris.

Laris frowned, thinking about the suggestion of this development technical school in his heart.

He also understood in his heart that the reason why the government ignored waste and hurriedly expanded higher education also had the intention of reducing the influence of the University of Athens.

As the only comprehensive university in Greece at present, the educational foundation accounts for 70% of the funds of the University of Athens. The educational foundation and the University of Athens have developed almost simultaneously.

If the government's plan to build three new universities can be completed, then the situation of the University of Athens being the dominant player in the Greek higher education sector can be effectively curbed over time.

However, it is indeed not advisable to blindly expand the scale of higher education. After all, it is impossible to waste a lot of social resources just to compete for educational influence.

"In this case, then build a comprehensive university of Tirana, and then use the rest of the money for technical schools. In the future, the teachers of these technical schools will develop, and the technical schools can be promoted to real universities according to the needs of the society," Laris said.

This is the government and education foundations each taking a step back.

After everyone in the conference room communicated with each other, everyone had no objection, so this suggestion was recognized by everyone.

"The current education system in our country is basically imitating the civic education in Germany," said Principal Ikios.

"Since the government will vigorously develop higher education in the future, then the reform of the personnel system of our Greek universities must also change."

"There are many teachers in the University of Athens recruited from Europe, and these foreign talents are currently the mainstay of Greek higher education."

"Most of these people are young scholars. They are willing to come to Greece to teach, more because of the generous salaries we give. Once European universities have the opportunity, they are more willing to return," Ikios said helplessly.

Laris said inexplicably; "Since we offer higher salaries~lightnovelpub.net~Why do they still tend to go back? It's unreasonable."

"In order to ensure academic freedom, German universities generally adopt the system of professors. These professors are few in number and are tenured. They have a high status in the university and a high social status."

"As for our University of Athens, it has always been in a period of rapid development, and in terms of system construction, it is a bit urgent for quick success." Speaking here, President Ichios looked at the Constantine couple.

As the president of the foundation, Sophie was born in the German royal family. The modern university operating system originated in Germany. Naturally, she understands the principle of professors governing the school.

It's just that the establishment of the University of Athens is still short-lived, and the Education Foundation is the biggest sponsor of the University of Athens. Sometimes it is inevitable to appear bossy, which makes foreign teachers not used to it, and feels that outside forces can interfere with the operation of the school at will.

Moreover, Greece is such a comprehensive university. Whenever there are technical problems in development, the University of Athens is naturally thought of.

Just like when the oil fields in Albania appeared before, Constantine ordered the University of Athens to mobilize teachers and set up a petroleum research group to study petroleum-related chemical technologies.

"In this case, in the subsequent construction of higher education, we must also ensure the academic freedom of Greek universities, learn from the advanced systems of European universities, and gradually adopt the system of professors governing schools to ensure academic freedom," Sophie concluded.
