Rise of Australia

Chapter 38 Public Opinion Preparation
Is the enrollment of 800 people really that much?Arthur just wanted to say, not much, really not much.

Compared with the tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of students in later generations of colleges and universities, the Australian National University, as the only university in Australia, has a low enrollment of [-] students.

But it also depends on the population of Australia. At present, there are only about 370 million people in Australia. The number of people who have graduated from high school and are suitable for college at around 18 to 30 is even smaller. The whole of Australia may not have 1 people.

"Principal Wilfrid Freeman Weinberg, how many people do you expect to apply this time? Can it meet the prescribed enrollment standards?" Arthur asked.

The number of recruits still has to be on par with the number of applicants. If there are not too many applicants, then no matter how high the number of recruits is set at this time, it will have no effect, but it will only increase the number of jokes.

"Your Highness, after we combined the data from the Ministry of Education and made calculations, we initially learned that there are more than 1000 Australians who have graduated from high school and are of suitable age. Up to 1 people are the potential crowd for this enrollment. Under normal circumstances, at least 1000 people will sign up for this enrollment, but with your call, this number can be doubled." Wilfried While Freeman Weinberg was talking, what he meant was a metaphorical request to Arthur to call on Australians of the right age to apply for university.

"Hahaha, that's fine. You are all elites in the education industry, so you naturally know that talent is something that strives for perfection. I hope that you can select about a thousand of the most outstanding talents from the applicants and cultivate them. It will be the mainstay of Australia in the next few years." Arthur laughed and agreed to Wilfrid Freeman Weinberg's proposal.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid we have to consider another question, that is, can the families of the students who apply for the exam be able to support the expensive fees of their universities? I think the royal family and the government should pay most of the fees for these students, otherwise most of our students may We can only give up halfway." Wilfried Freeman Weinberg did not give up after achieving his goal, and continued to give advice to Arthur.

As one of the senior leaders in the education industry, Wilfrid Freeman Weinberg spent most of his life as the principal or dean of various universities in the British Empire.

This time he was hired by the Australian government with a high salary. Wilfried Freeman Weinberg had only one requirement, that is, he had to have a say in the development of the university.

Arthur naturally doesn't mind. After all, professional things have to be done by professional people. Although Arthur has a lot of experience and knowledge from later generations, as a monarch, he is qualified to entrust his subordinates to do the work. of.

"No problem, the royal family promises to pay 70.00% of the tuition fees for all students, and the remaining 30.00% of the tuition fees will also be paid in advance by the royal family. After these outstanding students graduate and enter various industries in Australia in the future, their performance will determine whether the advanced tuition fees will be paid. Exempt." Arthur nodded and said with a smile.

Arthur is not a very kind person. Arthur does not mind exempting part of the tuition fees for these students, but it is only part of it.

The royal family will pay for the rest of the tuition first, which can be used as an excuse to let these students serve the royal family, and secondly, it can shorten the distance between these talents and the royal family. In a disguised form, they are cultivating talents for the royal family.

Wilfried Freeman Weinberg also saw Arthur's intentions, but Wilfried Freeman Weinberg did not stop him.

His purpose is only to develop the Australian National University into one of the world's top colleges. As for other things, Wilfried Freeman Weinberg doesn't want to take care of them, and he doesn't care.

"In addition, the royal family will also set up a royal scholarship in the university. Every year, [-] poor students with outstanding moral character will be selected and donated at least ten pounds." Arthur said with a smile.

This sentence must be called a blockbuster. In this era when there is only one in a thousand university talents, a college student can be regarded as an out-and-out talent anywhere.

In addition to the different development of education in various countries, this phenomenon is also caused by the relatively high cost of going to university.

Everyone present here is an elite in the education field, but they have only heard that part of the tuition fee is waived for college, but they have never heard of paying money for college!
Arthur had waived most of the fees before, and the remaining fees could also be paid in advance.In other words, you can go to university without spending money at all. Under such circumstances, the royal family will also provide scholarships. Isn’t this tempting everyone to come to Australia to go to university?

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that Arthur doesn't pay much every year, which is only two thousand pounds a year.

But this move will definitely greatly increase the attractiveness of the Australian National University to those students. After all, everyone has the idea of ​​​​gambling on the probability of a quarter of the scholarship.

"Well, there are so many policies. You can adjust the number of university admissions according to the future application situation. But at most, it should not exceed 500 people, and at least it should not be less than 800 people. I will mobilize public opinion and call on all Australians to apply for the exam. University, how to select the best talents from among them is your business." After finishing the last sentence, Arthur left the conference room with his guards.

After Arthur left, everyone did not start to relax, but entered a new round of competition for places.

Although Arthur limited the enrollment of the entire school, he did not limit the actual enrollment of each major.

This also led to a certain degree of increase in the original theoretical number of majors, making their own majors the majors with the largest number of recruits this time.

Just as the teachers of the five majors were fighting for their respective enrollment places, Arthur had already returned to the manor and started preparing to mobilize public opinion.

There are also newspapers in Australia at present, which are inherited from the newspapers of the original colonies, and now they are all purchased by Arthur.

It has to be said that in this era, newspapers are the best thing to control public opinion.To control the distribution of newspapers in a country is actually to control the public opinion in this country.

After all, in this era when there are not many entertainment facilities and activities, the only way for most people to let themselves know the outside world is to buy newspapers from newspaper offices, or read other people's newspapers.
