Chapter 1616 Investigation 2

After dark, much of Mexico City was plunged into darkness. The patrolling armed vehicles ran slowly along the cleared streets, and the sound of rumbling wheels deterred any Xiaoxiao who dared to come out to make trouble.

For the past two years, people have been either looking for somewhere to stay after dark or going out for their lives, depending on whether they’re hungry or not. And when the Diego regime fled, the new rulers liked to organize the idlers and so on.

"Why do you always like to organize people, and organize them forcibly." Angie stood outside a classroom, looking at the densely packed heads of people in the classroom. The building she was in was the only one on the street that was lit because it was a night school.

Several coal-fired power stations near Mexico City are struggling because of a lack of skilled workers. The power supply was intermittent at night, and Angie saw the lights in the building flicker several times, but with high-energy batteries as a supplement, short-term power outages did not have much impact.

However, even if the power supply is adequate, the conditions of the night school are quite simple - the biggest feature is that there are not many qualified teachers. There are too many people in Mexico who need to be literate, and most of the educated people have more important jobs.

Angie could hear untidy reading aloud coming from the night school. There are often more than 200 people crowded into a classroom inside. Everyone only watches the images and sounds of the projector for mechanical video teaching.

There is only one teacher with half a bucket of water on the teaching site for tutoring. Sometimes there are no tutors, only soldiers with live ammunition to maintain order.

In contrast, although David Lawrence reopened educational institutions, they were all prepared for the upper class. Due to the lack of young children and teenagers who need to go to school in the current society, the basic education of the fraternity has basically stagnated, and the higher education is not open to the bottom of the society at all.

As for night classes for the re-education of adults, there was no such thing as a fraternity.

After the Ministry of Agriculture learned of the Legion's forced literacy and enrichment, Angie asked to tour their education system. Normal primary and secondary schools did not attract much attention from her, but this night school for the bottom class was very novel.

Regarding Anji's question, the headmaster of the night school smiled helplessly and said: "I don't know why the Legion spends a lot of manpower and material resources on running the night school, because almost everyone opposes it."

"Everyone's objection?" Chandra, who was on the side, was a little surprised. "Although it costs a lot, I must say that it is necessary to eliminate illiteracy at the bottom of society. Why would anyone object?"

On the other side, Eugene snorted coldly, as if he had seen through the essence of the matter, "Teach hundreds and thousands of poor people how to write their names. This is for publicity and show. This shows the benevolence and generosity of the ruler. But What's the use of such a silly trick?"

The principal of the night school immediately retorted: "It's not hundreds of thousands of people, but millions of people who need to receive education. Our night school is just a very ordinary one. At present, there are more than 100 night schools in Mexico City alone."

millions?

Now not only Eugene didn't believe it, but even Angie and Chandra were shocked.

How much work will it take to make millions of people blind? Books and teaching aids alone cost a lot of money, not to mention organizing so many people to learn.

The headmaster of the night school continued to smile wryly, "Yes, it's several million. Because there are so many people, it is said that even Miss Fox clearly opposed it, but Your Excellency the Legion Commander wants to forcefully promote the night school, and it must be effective in a short period of time.

But you have to know that most of the people who come to class are extremely tired during the day, and they want to go to bed early at night, and they don't know what use it is for learning. Moreover, because there were not enough teachers, civil servants of the legion were also forced to attend night schools, which caused further dissatisfaction. "

It does sound unwelcome.

But Angie saw through the glass window that the people in the classroom were studying very seriously. They were all reading aloud along with the teaching video on the projector, or practicing copying with a pen. She still frowned and asked: "I don't see how much these people reject learning,

They are serious. "

The headmaster of the evening school smiled wryly, "Because there are exams every week, if you fail the exam, you will be kicked out of the legion system. If you leave the legion, you will have no job, no relief, and nothing. At first, some people tried to make trouble after being eliminated, but they were kicked out of the legion. Shoot on the spot.

Our legion leader has made many talks on the radio and newspapers on education issues. He made it clear that no one is allowed to destroy his education system. This is a basic policy related to the stability of the legion. Anyone who dares to obstruct it will be shot. "

Unheard of policy, too barbaric!

"Is there such a thing?" Eugene, who was still expressing sarcasm just now, was stunned, "Forcibly let millions of people receive education, what does Victor Hugo want? What's the point of training millions of elementary school students and junior high school students? "

Regarding this question, the headmaster of the night school sighed and pointed to the flickering lights just now and said: "We are very short of technical personnel, for example, electricity supply requires a large number of electricians.

It is said that our entire army can't gather 20,000 qualified electricians, but just to restore Mexico City to normal operation requires 40,000 to 50,000 electricians, which is too big a gap.

In addition to power supply, we also need water supply, we need road maintenance, we need to repair all kinds of broken machinery, and we need many, many workers. These are the current society can not provide.

It is said that the Legion has already counted a population of more than one million, of which there are only more than 200,000 with a middle school education or above. This is still data close to Mexico City, and there are more people in rural areas far away from Mexico City, with more illiteracy. "

The headmaster of the evening school is also Mexican, and he has not had time to lament the terrible situation in his country. Eugene, who had been thinking about it, waved his hand and said: "This matter should be left to the market to improve, educated people get higher income, then people will naturally find ways to learn and improve themselves.

Forcing people to attend night classes is a violation of personal freedom and human rights, which can easily lead to rebellious psychology. And the tragedy of shooting people because they don't want to learn is too perverted. "

After expressing his opinion, Eugene looked at Angie and Chandra, "What do you think? Isn't that how we used to be in America?

We have the best universities in the world, cultivate the best scientific and technological talents, and have always occupied the pinnacle of science and technology. Our approach is the right one. We never force people to go to school. "

Angie's mind is a little confused. She has been educated since she was a child with "natural human rights", and she has never heard of forcing others to go to school in the past. And Eugene said that the United States has the best universities in the world, which is also an undeniable fact.

But it was a mistake to say that Victor Hugo made such a big fuss and the costly compulsory education system was a mistake, and Angie felt that it might not be wrong to do so from the bottom of his heart. After all, in the past, a large number of people at the bottom of the society were mediocre because of lack of knowledge, um..., the United States has its own national conditions here!

A class lasts forty-five minutes, and there are three or four classes in one night. When the video teaching ended, the entire classroom immediately heard loud screams. Many people are having a headache for studying, one is the pain of learning, and the other is the pain of exams.

The cruel and ruthless elimination system makes people have to work hard.

Seeing that the students kept complaining, the principal of the night school immediately organized the few teachers to start answering questions. Many people asked questions like a cannonball, and the thirst for knowledge was extremely strong. If you don’t study, you will almost die. !

In addition to studying, the night school also provides a supper-the lunch meat from decades ago is enough. After the rabbit's is finished, there will be Maoxiong's, even if the Maoxiong's is finished, there will be Yingjiang's. Anyway, the five big hooligans may be lacking in other things, and there is plenty of luncheon meat that has been hoarded for decades.

Regarding the lively scene in the classroom, Angie asked himself Chandra: "Teacher, why do you think Victor did this? If there are really millions of people receiving training, the cost of lunch meat alone is extremely high." It's huge. And if you can't learn it, you can be eliminated, which is too cruel."

Chandra sighed, and said for a long time: "Maybe Commander Hugo didn't regard these people as human beings at all, and he was not affected by the feelings of ordinary people at all when making policies. He needed skilled workers, so he trained them. Those who are eliminated will be eliminated, do you think he will care?"

Anji has long known Zhou Qingfeng's cold-bloodedness towards ordinary people. But Eugene was taken aback when he heard that, suddenly he was a little afraid of this kind of policy of using any means to achieve the goal. Especially if you think about it empathetically, do those poor people who receive education have to study hard in order to survive?

And it won't be long before the Aurora Legion will have a large number of quick skilled workers, which sounds like a very remarkable achievement.

very scary!
