Start 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne

Chapter 994 The Netherlands reaches the top of the "World University Rankings 1881"

William IV, Prime Minister Theo von Linden, Chief Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Jules Danetang, Foreign Secretary Joseph Beit, Home Secretary David Blanc, Defense Minister Fox, Industry Minister Joseph. Lanka, Transport Secretary Byers, Education Secretary Mari Philip, Energy Secretary Hester, Justice Robert Cook, Speaker of the Privy Council and Speaker of the House of Commons, Baron Caslan, Lord of the Privy Seal and Speaker of the House of Lords, Marquis Andrew Smith Senator Sackham, Director of the Dutch Financial Committee and Chairman of the Dutch Federal Reserve Bank, and others continue to hold Privy Council meetings.

Education Minister Mari Philippe became the latest target of William IV's name, and the question was about the latest situation of higher education in the Netherlands.

Mari Philip said calmly: "This year is the 20th anniversary of the release of the "World University Rankings". It was originally released in the first half of the year, but starting from this year, it is scheduled to be released in October every year. Your Majesty's question, the answer It just so happens that the new list will be released on October 10th. I believe that with the appearance of the latest list, everyone in the Netherlands will be proud and the UK will be excited."

William IV asked inquiringly: "Why?"

Others have not seen this issue's list, so they are also curious.

Mari Philippe said: "Because in the new list, British universities are proud of the global university rankings. This year's edition will overturn the previous history of British universities occupying the top spot. On the contrary, our Dutch universities have successfully challenged the top spot and broken the past." In 19, Dutch universities could only be ranked as the second largest university.”

When William IV heard this, he said happily: "Then, I am even more curious."

Without further ado, Phillip distributed the stack of papers he had prepared to everyone present.

The 1881 global university ranking list is impressive.

William IV is the most curious and excited among those present. In previous lives, universities in my country often struggled to enter the top ten in Western university rankings. Even in Asia, there are occasionally one or two universities that enter the first round and the next. They have no share in the first phase. This was formed under the monopoly of global higher education such as the United Kingdom and the United States. The purpose is to gather high-end talents from around the world to their own countries, and then increase efforts to weaken others and strengthen themselves. Even if these talents do not If you use it yourself, you will destroy them.Let them exist as mediocre people in their own country instead of going back to build their own motherland.

In my previous life, I was very helpless about this. In fact, I also understood the helplessness of the country. After all, my motherland is a new participant in many technology industries. Industry standards and information are incomplete. It is necessary to borrow the experience of other countries, and international students are the most direct. The most effective bridge.

If we don’t send them out, they won’t have this opportunity to come into contact with foreign technology. It’s hard to achieve the effect of integrating other people’s advanced technology by building a car behind closed doors. The nine sons of a dragon are different, not to mention that there are also good and bad international students.

Between being patriotic and not being patriotic, or not contributing to returning to China with high salaries from foreign countries, there will always be a small number of people who choose the more selfish option.

Affected by this, when the Netherlands came to this parallel world and became the crown prince, it launched the higher education reform in the Netherlands. In just ten years, the Netherlands became the second largest higher education power in the world in the 1860s, even in higher education. In terms of education per capita, the Netherlands is the strongest country in the world.

However, the UK, which has Oxford and Cambridge, still firmly occupies two of the top five places, and even the first place is the UK's Oxford or Cambridge University.

But look now, after 20 years of development, Dutch universities have finally reached the top of the rankings.

The following is the latest 1881 global university ranking list: the top ten:
第1-10位：1悉尼大学（荷兰，建校时间1850年，下同）、2墨尔本大学（荷兰，1853年）、3剑桥大学（英，1209年）、4牛津大学（英，1096年）、5阿姆斯特丹大学（荷兰、1857年）、6柏林洪堡大学（德，1810年）、7维也纳大学（奥匈，1365年）、8圣彼得堡大学（沙俄，1724年）、9巴黎大学（法兰西第二帝国，1150年）、10澳大利亚国立大学（荷兰，1864年）
前十位荷兰占据了4席，分别是第1悉尼大学、第2墨尔本大学、欧洲荷兰原首都的第5阿姆斯特丹和位于荷兰威廉省（院维多利亚州）所在的第10位澳大利亚国立大学；英国占据了两2席，分别是第3位的剑桥大学和第4位牛津大学。

It can be said that in the latest university rankings, the Netherlands crushed the UK and successfully reached the top. In particular, the University of London, which was ranked tenth in the previous period, was successfully replaced by the Australian National University, breaking the previous top ten. The Netherlands and the UK have a balance of three seats each.Everyone here believes that when this issue is released in five days, it will shock the world, and it will not even be less influential than the University of Sydney’s topping the global rankings.

In this issue, Humboldt University of Berlin is still ranked 6th as in previous years. This has been the same position for the past ten years. The University of Vienna and the University of St. Petersburg have pushed the University of Paris from 7th to 9th. They both ranked [-]th. Each moved up one position to cause the University of Paris to decline in status.

Sure enough, politics can determine many things. The division of France has reduced the enrollment range of the University of Paris by almost one-third of its students. The division of the Third French Republic in the south has only allowed enrollment in the Second French Empire in the north. , so the decline in status is understandable. This is the reason why the University of Paris is helpless.But I have to say that it is indeed a powerful country, and even its university education is among the best in the world.

This issue of university rankings is released. It goes without saying that the above universities will be the most desirable ones for international students from other countries around the world.It is conceivable that these four universities in the Netherlands can definitely add new impetus for other top talents to immigrate to the Netherlands.

These were most consistent with William IV's ideas and plans.

However, these are in line with William IV's plans and ideas, but may not necessarily be in line with other people's ideas.

For example, next to him are Prime Minister Linden of the Christian Party, Jules Danetant of the Socialist Party, and Gerrit de Vries of the opposition Liberal Party.

Especially the former and the latter Gerrit de Vries.

The University of Melbourne, ranked second, is located in the capital Melbourne and is now governed by the Christian Party; the University of Sydney, ranked first, is located in New South Wales and is also governed by the Christian Party.

The Australian National University, ranked 10th, is located in William Province (Victoria), which is where the Socialist Party came to power in 1879.

After all, only the University of Amsterdam, ranked fifth in Europe, is still in power under the Liberal Party.

Therefore, it is strange that Gerrit De Vries can be happy.

He was very dissatisfied that there were no leading universities in the Far East in the hands of the Liberal Party. Therefore, he became anxious and hoped that more universities below would be in areas governed by the Liberal Party.

So, he hurriedly looked down.
