Chapter 740 Royal Academy of Sciences

As the annual summary approaches, Arthur also starts to have a headache.

The eight-year construction plan has almost doubled the number of universities, which also means that twice as many professors as the current Australian university are needed.

Where can we find so many university professors and experts? In addition to digging a lot from the current United States and Europe, there is really no better way.

The good news is that the United States once made great achievements in education. The total population of the United States exceeds 100 million, and the number of universities has long exceeded 500, almost 10 times that of Australia.

This data is very exaggerated. You know, the population of the United States is about 3 times that of Australia.

This also means that in terms of universities, Australia is more than three times behind the former United States, and the number of college students trained each year is less than one-tenth of the number of American college students.

This is not the future, college students are still more valuable. The degree system in Australia and Australia is similar to that of the United Kingdom, and has been fine-tuned according to the needs of the country.

At present, the degree system in Australasia can be divided into three levels, corresponding to bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees.

After successfully graduating from a university recognized by the government of the Kingdom of Australasia, you can obtain an ordinary bachelor's degree.

There are also two types of ordinary bachelor's degrees, corresponding to liberal arts and science respectively.

Above the ordinary bachelor's degree, there is a slightly higher level of honorary bachelor's degree.

To put it simply, students studying for an honorary bachelor's degree only need to study 1 to 2 subjects, but the requirements of the subjects studied become more stringent, and they can only graduate with certain research results.

Above the bachelor's degree is the well-known master's degree.

A master's degree is a further study in a certain major after graduating from a bachelor's degree, generally for 2 to 3 years, depending on the specific assessment results and learning situation.

The master's degree is also divided into ordinary master's degrees and honorary master's degrees. The specific system is not much different from that of a bachelor's degree. The only difference is that if you want to obtain a master's degree, you must have a thesis approved by professors and experts selected from various universities.

The highest level of degree is the doctorate, which is also divided into ordinary doctoral degrees and honorary doctoral degrees.

Generally speaking, it is easier to obtain a general degree, and it is also the degree that most people choose to study.

Honorary degrees have extremely high requirements for individual majors and are also very challenging for personal talent.

But what is more attractive is that when the Royal Academy of Sciences conducts research projects, it will give priority to graduates and students with honorary degrees to participate in research projects, even if they are just helping out.

You know, the experts owned by the Royal Academy of Sciences are all outstanding in a certain field and well-known figures in human history.

Helping these people is something that even some people who have already achieved some success cannot do, let alone those students who have just graduated from school or are still studying for a degree.

This is also the opportunity Arthur gave them, an opportunity to be promoted to the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Yes. The Royal Academy of Sciences founded by Arthur is not only recruited from the outside, but also has internal training channels.

Generally speaking, honorary degrees are the most likely to participate in the research projects of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and then be trained by experts of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and finally move towards the title of academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences.

As long as you enter the Royal Academy of Sciences, you will become an important national talent recognized by Arthur and the government, and the training you receive is not comparable to before.

But unfortunately, since the establishment of such a promotion channel, only a few people have been promoted from ordinary college students to members of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and they are famous scientists who have left a name in history.

December 23, 1929, the day before Christmas Eve.

As Christmas approaches, the palace is already full of festive atmosphere. A huge Christmas tree has been erected in the garden of the palace.

The Christmas tree has been decorated with colorful lights and hung with gift boxes of all sizes, and it is very beautiful.

Logically speaking, with one of the most important festivals in the West approaching, Arthur and the government must also suspend work and prepare for the arrival of the festival.

But in fact, the lights in the State Council are brightly lit because a relatively important meeting is being held.

The participants in the meeting are Prime Minister Raul, Minister of Education Carroll Jefferson, Minister of Health Deson Burriges and Minister of Finance Hunter Monse Rollen.

This was a small cabinet meeting. The reason why so many people participated was that Arthur expressed his emphasis on education and medical care, and said that he would personally convene this meeting.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Arthur appeared in the conference room and took over from Prime Minister Raul to preside over the meeting.

"Minister Kelo, how is the work of the Ministry of Education going?" Arthur asked.

The first year of the eight-year construction plan is almost over, but no university has been built yet, and even the number of universities that have started construction is less than ten, which makes Arthur doubt whether the education department can complete the eight-year construction plan.

"Currently, we have encountered certain difficulties." Minister Kelo said with a wry smile: "All states are asking the Ministry of Education to give them more university quotas, and some states have even quarreled over the allocation of university quotas.

For now, it is unrealistic to double the number of universities according to the current distribution of our universities. There are also some cities and regions without university distribution, which is also the key to building universities."

Minister Kelo explained: "But it is still quite difficult to build a university in these areas.

The first is our faculty. At present, our talent pool can only support ten universities at most, and there are nearly 40 universities with vacancies in faculty, which requires us to recruit from Europe and America.

In addition, the types of university majors, the location of the university, the scale of university construction, and the naming of the university, etc., all require a certain amount of time to prepare.

It is expected that next year, 7 universities will be started and at least 3 universities will be built. After enriching our faculty reserve, we will complete our education construction plan in seven years at the rate of seven universities per year."

To put it bluntly, the construction of a university is not that simple. What's more, the current university construction plan in Australasia basically doubles the number of existing universities.

In addition to considering the location and scale of the university, teaching equipment, scientific research equipment and talent reserves are very important.

These things take a certain amount of time to accumulate, which is why the work of the Ministry of Education is currently suspended.

"I do have some ideas about the construction of universities." Arthur said, "Our Royal Academy of Sciences has made considerable achievements, and the number of people has exceeded 1,200.

Such a large number of experts should be used to build a university in cooperation with the Royal Academy of Sciences, and some of the experts of the Royal Academy of Sciences should be used as teaching staff reserves. Other experts can also give lectures when they are free, and the teaching level and quality of the university can be improved. How about this proposal?"

After hearing Arthur's question, Minister of Education Kello did not dare to answer immediately. After thinking carefully for a while, he said, "This is an amazing idea, Your Majesty. If you do this, you can not only effectively use the experts of the Royal Academy of Sciences, but also solve some of our teaching staff vacancies.

These excellent experts are fully sufficient to be used as lecturers for college students, and maybe they can also train more members of the Royal Academy of Sciences for us.

But where should such a university be built? And how should it be named?"

In fact, this is not Minister Kello's question. The reason for asking this is that Minister Kello wisely gave Arthur the right to name the university, as well as the location of the university.

"Since it is a university cooperating with the Royal Academy of Sciences, why not call it the Royal Academy of Sciences?" Arthur nodded and said calmly: "Since it has the word Royal, then the royal family will fund it. I hope that this university can be more inclined to scientific research and professionalism, and can cultivate more scientific research talents for the country. It would be best if it can join the Royal Academy of Sciences."

With the word Royal, Arthur naturally hopes that the royal family will fund it. Because the talents cultivated by the Royal Academy of Sciences have the royal imprint inherently.

These talents can also be regarded as cultivated by Arthur, and their loyalty to Arthur will naturally be higher.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Arthur said so, and naturally no one else would object.

"In addition, build another Royal University of Technology, and the professional field involved is our very important industry." Arthur continued to instruct: "The location of the Royal Academy of Sciences will be set in Sydney, and the location of the Royal University of Technology will be set in Melbourne."

Arthur did not choose Fort St. Arthur, after all, the population of Fort St. Arthur is completely sufficient for two universities.

The population of Melbourne and Sydney has exceeded 3 million, so they can naturally afford more universities and have more college students.

Although the capital has moved to Fort St. Arthur, the importance of Sydney and Melbourne has not decreased.

The two largest cities in Australasia have now developed into huge cities with a population of more than 3 million.

In addition, the two cities each have three universities and one university to be built.

Even though Fort St. Arthur has developed rapidly in recent years, people are still most impressed by Sydney and Melbourne.

These two huge cities that can represent Australia and even Australasia are also affectionately called the Southeast Twin Stars by Australasians.

"If the construction of these two universities goes smoothly, we can also consider building branches in other cities in the future to further increase the number of universities with professional attributes." Seeing that his proposal was quickly passed, Arthur nodded with satisfaction and added.
