Rebirth of the Spanish Empire.

Chapter 10 Construction and Promotion of Education
  “Education is an important foundation for national rejuvenation and social progress.

It is a moral and political project that will serve the present and benefit the future;

A century-old plan is based on education. Education is the foundation of a country and a symbol of the prosperity of a nation. For a country, education is indispensable.

The cause of education is achieved bit by bit, and the road to a strong country is taken step by step.

In the three hundred years from the 16th century to the 19th century, Spain transformed from an empire that never fell into decline into a second-rate country in Europe.

Spain almost became the laughing stock of others during that period and was bullied by countless powerful countries.

The land and huge wealth that were originally won by countless ancestors and martyrs have also been oppressed and robbed by other countries in the past three hundred years.

How many patriots who hope that the Kingdom of Spain will be strong again feel sad when faced with this scene.

To make Spain strong again, dreams cannot be achieved. Only through practical actions can the country be strong again!
  The strength of national education is normal strength!

And this requires us and our descendants to study hard to make our motherland great again!

No matter how old you are now, you need to study for the country!
  Because sticking to the old rules can no longer allow our country to continue to progress. On the contrary, sticking to the old rules will only make the country regress. Only learning and innovation can make the country strong again!

We need to study hard and hard.

Across the world, we insist that every Spaniard have access to education.

For the prosperity of the motherland, for the inviolability of the dignity of the motherland, and for the sake of making the motherland great again!
  Every Spaniard should work hard and strive to bring changes to the motherland, and this cannot be delayed!

In order to achieve this great goal, our benevolent King Alfonso will establish a comprehensive education system in every region of the country.

We will vigorously support the construction of primary schools and secondary schools, and increase investment in the development of Spanish universities.

For this reason, His Majesty Alfonso calls on all Spaniards across the country to let their children of school age go to school.

Let them fight for a new future for our beloved Spain and let them have a better life!

Now His Majesty Alfonso has ordered the Royal Government to waive all tuition and fees for elementary schools.

It is hoped that children of school age across the country will have sufficient knowledge to strive for a better future.

His Majesty Alfonso hopes that all school-age children in the country will no longer appear on the factory floor.

They are the sun at eight or nine o'clock for the motherland, illuminating the future direction of the Kingdom of Spain!

So here, His Majesty Alfonso sincerely hopes that every child: get out of the farmland, get out of the factory, study hard and work hard.

I hope every child will have a bright future..." This is the content published in the latest issue of the Globe.

Although Globo is just beginning to develop, its reporting on this matter has truly made every Spanish people recognize the credibility of the country it represents!

…………

The interior of a textile factory in Barcelona, ​​the central city in the Catalonia region of the Kingdom of Spain.

Cameron's co-worker Marshall held up a newspaper and said excitedly to him: "Cameron, read this newspaper quickly. This is published by Global Daily. I remember you have a seven-year-old child at home. Hurry up." Send him to school."

"What's wrong Russell? Why are you in such a panic? What happened?" Cameron asked with some confusion.

His coworker usually had a good relationship with him, but he had never seen Marshall do such a reckless move.

“What a good thing, what a great thing!

Cameron, look at this newspaper. His Majesty the King has announced free education for primary school students across the country.

Tuition fees are free for six years. Now the king wanted every Spanish commoner's child to have the opportunity to study. "

Marshall took the newspaper and pointed at the content on it, and spoke very quickly to his friend Cameron, because obviously he thought this was a good thing.

Before Marshall could react, his friend who had worked with him for many years across from him slapped the table and stood up. He said excitedly: "Is this true? Your Majesty provides free reading to children?"

The shock on Cameron's expression was indescribable. You must know that education in this era is not something that ordinary people can easily afford.

His child is 7 years old and can only do some farm work at home. If nothing else goes wrong, his children will continue to work for black-hearted factories along his old path, and their jobs are not guaranteed.

The factory owner's children were the same age as him, but they were already studying in an aristocratic elementary school.

The gap between classes is really obvious.

Cameron doesn't want his children to have the same bad future as himself. When he became an adult, he came to the factory to do hard and heavy work day and night, and had to endure exploitation and oppression from the factory owners from time to time.

Reading may not change anything, but not reading will certainly not change anything - Cameron, who has been working in factories for many years, has already understood this truth.

"Go home tonight and let that brat get ready for school." Cameron thought secretly in his heart.

Marshall's inner activities at this time were obviously the same as his. because

Parents' love for their children is always great. No parent would let their children suffer for a lifetime.

“It seems that the new king, His Majesty Alfonso, is different from his mother, Queen Isabella.

He was a kind and good king who cared about his people. "Cameron thought so...

In various regions of the Kingdom of Spain, including Catalonia, Garcia, and the Basque Country, such discussions are common.

For the first time, the Spanish people felt that the royal government led by Alfonso had done something practical for them.

The trust of the people is accumulated bit by bit.

When the people of a country are willing to believe in the government, the country's cohesion will be unprecedentedly enhanced, and the country will achieve unprecedented development...

However, in some backward and remote areas of Spain, the road to universal education is still full of thorns.

Because this is not a task that can be completed quickly, the road to education in the Kingdom of Spain still has a long way to go.

…………

And when Global Daily published this incident. Immediately this news suddenly set off an earthquake in various European countries.

All the major European powers looked at Spain with shock.

And when the Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported the news again the next day, everyone in Europe was stunned.

“The government stipulates compulsory education, and the government mandates that parents should send their children aged 7 to 12 to school.

Every child who enters school should learn a series of courses such as Spanish, mathematics, history, physical education, politics, and religion.

The government will provide all school-age children with comprehensive education, both morally, intellectually and physically.

Every junior and secondary school should not charge tuition, tuition and fees.

All people are equal regardless of race, gender, or family property status.

School-age children in all families should receive education, and girls must also receive education. "

When the Spanish government promulgated the compulsory education law, countless people rushed forward to cheer at this moment.

Hispanic minorities, who had previously been hesitant, also began sending their children to school.

Countless Spaniards were singing and dancing on the road!
  And this day is destined to be remembered by the Spanish and also by history.

“It’s really crazy that this conservative and ancient country in Europe is ushering in its new rule after being dormant for nearly half a century.

Send out the clarion call to rise again! ”——The Times of the British Empire.

“We can’t help but ponder why we, who were the first to value education, were surpassed by others in the areas in which we were most confident!

The compulsory education law of the Kingdom of Spain is worth learning from. ” - "Berlin Zeitung" of the German Empire.

"The little king of Spain will definitely regret his decision today.

The petty king would only gain a group of commoners who rebelled against his rule.

Because the greed of the common people cannot be satisfied. ”——"St. Petersburg Daily News" of the Russian Empire

“It can be seen from the current education policy of the Kingdom of Spain that this ancient and conservative country has begun to seek changes.

As France, as a world power, we should also learn from them and make changes! ” - "Friends of the People" of the French Republic.

Under Alfonso's rule, the Spanish giant ship also began its voyage!
