Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

v3 Chapter 128: Dutch look east policy

September 10, 1862, today is a big day for Dutch education.

Lini, the president of Leiden University in the Netherlands, ranked 7th in the world, Barlow, the 9th president of the University of Amsterdam, Choate, the 21st president of the University of Groningen, and Vasi, the 25th president of Utrecht University.

These four top universities in the Netherlands, together with the heads of six other well-known Dutch universities, officially announced in Amsterdam that 10 top universities in the Netherlands will establish branch campuses in the Far East of the Netherlands to cultivate top university talents for the Netherlands.

Leiden University Lini announced that the school will establish a Far East branch in Jakarta, Java, with more than 1,000 students enrolled each year. As long as they are Dutch nationals, they can pass the exam after graduating from high school. Enroll in school.

Barlow, president of the University of Amsterdam, announced that it will establish a campus in Melbourne, the deputy capital of the Netherlands, in the province of William, Australia.

Choate, president of the University of Groningen, announced the establishment of a branch in Sydney.

The campus announced by Utrecht University President Vassi was unexpected, and he chose Modan on the Paradise Bird Peninsula in the western part of the island of New Guinea to establish a campus.

On the same day, other universities in the Netherlands, Hann University, Agricultural University, The Hague University, Wageningen University, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology,

Hann University in the Netherlands announced the establishment of a branch in Surabaya, Java.

The Netherlands Agricultural University announced the establishment of a branch in Brucebane, Queensland, eastern Australia, focusing on agricultural development.

The University of The Hague is choosing to build a campus in Adelaide, South Australia.

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam opens a campus in Sulawesi

Wageningen University is a branch established in Palembang, the capital of Sumatra.

The Delft University of Technology campus is based in Perth, Western Australia.

Eindhoven University of Technology is established in Darwin, Northern Province to establish a branch campus.

The Dutch Minister of Education, Rude Bells, announced that the Dutch government will strongly support the establishment of branch campuses of these universities. For this reason, the government will plan the land use of the community in a unified manner, and these campuses will obtain preferential policies for land use rights. They will also receive construction subsidies from the Dutch government, and the Dutch government will also cooperate with the school to provide guarantees for the employment of talents.

He said that the Netherlands pays attention to the development of the Far East, so this is the reason for the upsurge of cultivating top talents in the Far East.

"This is the result of the recent Dutch government's request to develop in the Far East and provide the strength within its capabilities," said Lini, president of Leiden University, the president of the Netherlands' top-ranked institution in the world, when interviewed by reporters.

"Hello, I'm Kurt, a reporter from "European Times". I would like to ask President Lini, since the Netherlands has begun to implement top universities to build campuses of this scale in the Far East, why we haven't received any announcement from the Dutch government before. Has the news of the Dutch government been notified only recently? If so, our view now is that these measures by the Dutch government will be a little hasty?”

Lini enjoyed the feeling of being questioned by reporters, because at this time, he felt that he was the focus of everyone, and he was leading Leiden University to sprint higher, so he was even more prepared to take advantage of this reporter's questioning opportunity. , advertising Leiden University.

Admissions will be easier then.

"Have you forgotten that when we announced the news just now, we actually had a strict plan. We and the presidents of 10 Dutch universities actually meet once a month. This is a tea party hosted by the government. Universities are required to follow the latest government policies and implement the education-following-policy strategy. Therefore, what you just said hastily is impossible, because it has been planned by the government for a long time, and we have been asked many times about majors. , Leiden University has been looking for a location in the Far East for a long time. In the end, Java Province was chosen to establish a constituency.”

"Can I ask you why you are interested in Java?"

Lini laughed: "Because it is the place with the highest population density in the Far East, and there are abundant student resources."

"But there are a lot of indigenous people there, will it cause trouble?"

"Naturally, but our purpose at that campus is to build the most egalitarian campus in the Netherlands, and to provide the most direct contribution to unity and patriotism within us."

"But will they be unable to keep up with the pace of local learning?"

"This is what we educators need to consider, so the move just announced by the Minister of Education to support the major campuses has actually been announced, and the primary education model will be enforced in the same way as the homeland. According to what the minister said, As long as it is within the territory of the Netherlands, everyone will be a valuable resource in the Netherlands, including the indigenous people, as well as our nationals, do you think?"

"This"

When Lini saw this, he knew that he had succeeded, and the signboard of Leiden University would be launched, especially in the Far East, which would have won the peak in the field of morality. Maybe, the indigenous people there also regarded Leiden University as their most important The university that yearns for a sense of identity may also be.

Seeing Lini like this, the others naturally did not fall behind.

They have devoted themselves to publicizing the advantages of their own universities, and even the two polytechnic universities are no exception. Because the Far East has a small local population at present, the competition for talents has always been very cruel, and the source of students is the most fierce competition among universities. Object.

However, the government is also eager for this kind of competition to continue, because this will increase the competitiveness of these schools. It is said that soon, the semi-annual World University Rankings published by "European Times" will be announced again. I just don't know, this latest issue How many universities in the Netherlands are ranked within the top 30.

Looking forward to it.

In addition to these top universities in the Netherlands, many people have also seen the major news newspapers in the Netherlands, which are also full of major companies starting to announce the establishment of branch factories in the former Far East.

Among them, William Group, controlled by William IV, announced that it would invest more than 5 million guilders in Far East Java to increase rubber planting and processing plants in the Far East, providing more resources for the rubber industry in the Netherlands.

At the same time ~lightnovelpub.net~ the group also announced that it will build world-class ports in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Darwin, Perth, Adelaide, Surabaya, Jakarta, Makassar, and the Port of Amsterdam. In Port Moresby, Nambang, Palembang Kupang, Dili, etc., the construction of sub-provincial port ports to provide large cargo ships docking and loading and unloading.

Increase the scale of shipping around the Far East and develop rapidly.

At the same time, the group also announced that it will establish a coal exploration company and development company in Queensland, Australia, and a steel exploration company in Western Australia.

At the same time, a clothing company and a large-scale wool garment factory were established in Sydney.

Construction of equipment manufacturing plant in Melbourne.

The group announced that these investments would not fall below a total investment of 100 million guilders (£400) and would create more than 500,000 jobs.

It seems that unlike the William Group, which is specialized in beauty, other major groups have also moved closer to the government's obvious policy of developing the Far East. The Dutch consortium and the aristocratic people with a little money can't help but follow the government's eastward development strategy to invest. In short, in this Netherlands, an atmosphere has been driven, that is, the Dutch territory in the Far East has a lot to do.
