Professor of Magic

Chapter 131 Lesson 12 Education Reform
Seeing Lin Yuan and the students of Fenol College laughing wildly, everyone around could only sigh helplessly.

Whether it's Fasno or Zorna, they all showed superior strength. Lin Yuan and his students are indeed qualified to make such a laugh.

Karan, vice president of Reynolds College, is in a terrible mood at the moment.

Originally, he thought that this year's freshman class at Reynolds Academy had produced a genius that was rare in 10 years, but this time the first-year group champion had already been secured.But on the way, he was suddenly told that there was also a genius in Fenol College, and it might be a super genius that is rare in a hundred years.

After seeing Fasno's performance, he felt that Gele was indeed not his opponent. He thought that if he could not win the championship, it would be good to be the runner-up.But he never expected that Gele would fall in the penultimate round of the semi-finals, which was not even the semi-finals.

Karan looked at Lin Yuan at the side. What kind of magical power does this teacher Lin have that can make his students have such powerful strength?

After thinking about it, Karan finally sighed, walked slowly to Lin Yuan, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Lin, congratulations."

Lin Yuan was taken aback: "Congratulate me? Congratulate me for what?"

"Congratulations to your student who is about to win the championship of the first-year group, and even, it is very possible to win the championship and runner-up. I also congratulate you for winning this bet. I have to say, you are the biggest winner of this Continental Academy of Magic competition." After a pause, he smiled wryly, and said again: "Tell me, what do you want us old guys to promise you?"

The heads of other colleges who came with Karan also nodded at the same time.

After this game, there was no one who could threaten Daofasnuo and Zhuo Na, that is to say, Fenuoer College will definitely win the first-year competition of this competition.

"Actually, my request is very simple." Lin Yuan smiled, and stopped saying those hypocritical clichés. "That is to ask you to help me implement something that is beneficial to the entire Farinos continent."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Karan and Divac glanced at each other, and they both saw the caution and suspicion in each other's eyes.

After this competition, they no longer dare to casually say that Lin Yuan is talking big.

"Well, in fact, I have already discussed this matter with Chairman Smeg, why don't we go to the chairman to discuss it together?" Lin Yuan said again. "This matter cannot be successful without your support."

"Ms. Lin, I am really more and more curious about you." Karan suddenly smiled and said, "Well, no matter what, I promise you first. I believe that what you are going to do, Mr. Lin, is really beneficial. Good deeds for the whole continent.”

Karan took the lead, except for a few people, others also agreed.

Lin Yuan was determined at once. With the support of these people, even if Chairman Smig was still wavering, he would still agree.

The competition of the first-year group of the Continental Academy of Magic Competition has become indifferent after Zhuo Na eliminated Gele, who was originally expected by Reynolds Academy.

Although Fasno and Zhuo Na broke out from their respective half areas, successfully joined the finals, and dedicated to the audience a game that even surpassed the finals of the fourth grade group.

But all of this, in Lin Yuan's eyes, is completely unattractive.

Anyway, he knows the level of Fasno and Zorna better than anyone else.Although Fasno finally won the final due to the fact that the level of magic he could master was higher than that of Zorna, but Lin Yuan knew that Zorna's current level was too low to take advantage of the variety of mixed magic.

If in the future Zorna masters more and more magic, has more and more magic power, and can use more and more mixed magic, then it will be difficult to say who will win and who will lose between her and Fasno.

Besides, no matter which of the two of them wins, the one who wins the championship is a student of Fenol College, or to be more precise, a student of the third class of the first grade he is in charge of.

As their teacher, he just needs to be proud and happy about it.

What really concerned him was another matter, which he had been discussing with President Smig, and at the same time he did not hesitate to bet with other heads of the magic academy to ask for their support.

This matter, in fact, was exactly what he had been considering when he was a young Barrett, a reform plan for the mainland magic education system.

From the example of Barrett, he finally intuitively understood part of the basic education about magic in Farinos.

Dividing the Academy of Magic into two levels, one level is used to train basic personnel, and the other level is used as the cradle of real magicians. This approach is simple and practical, but it has a big drawback.

That is, there are many people like Barrett Jr. who also have magical talents, but because their magical talents are not high enough, they cannot receive special support. At the same time, because their families are poor and cannot afford children from junior magic schools, they cannot get the opportunity to learn magic.

From Lin Yuan's point of view, this cannot but be said to be a great mistake in education.

Originally, the education system about magic on the mainland of Farinos followed the path of elite training.That is to say, unless you have magical talents above the average level, it is possible to eventually become a student of various colleges and eventually become a magician.

In the eyes of President Smig and other high-level officials of the magic academy, this approach is not wrong. After all, magic is a profound knowledge, and without enough magical talent, it is impossible to have too high achievements.So Smig didn't understand why Lin Yuan asked for this reform at the beginning, and this question was also wanted to be asked by the senior leaders of other magic schools.

However, after Lin Yuan's in-depth analysis, they had to admit that if the reforms carried out by Lin Yuan were truly implemented successfully, it would indeed be of great benefit to the magician community across the continent.

In fact, the education reform proposed by Lin Yuan is very simple, that is to re-divide the two-level magic academy into four levels in total.

Among them, the first-level magic academy is responsible for teaching some basic knowledge about magic for a period of 5 years, and those who expire can be automatically transferred to the second-level magic academy.

The second-level magic academy lasts for 3 years. After the 3 years, after passing the assessment, you can choose a suitable third-level magic academy to study.

Students who have graduated from the third-level magic academy with excellent grades can apply for the fourth-level magic academy.

Plagiarism!This is a plagiarism of Chiguoguo!
If there were people from the original world here, they would definitely accuse Lin Yuan so loudly.

This first-to-fourth-level magic academy clearly copied the staged education system of primary school, junior high school, high school and university in the original world.

The only change is that Lin Yuan changed the 9-year compulsory education combined for primary and junior high schools in the original world to 8 years, and at the same time, fees will be charged from the second-level magic academy.

Of course, there is a reason for this. The average standard of living on the Farinos continent is naturally not comparable to that of the original world. It is already the result of Lin Yuan's efforts to make the first-level magic academy free.If it takes a few more years, I am afraid that no country can accept such a plan.

After all, magic learning is different from the knowledge learned by students in the original world. Through the first five years of study, no matter what, you can see a student's potential.If you have a future and are willing to work hard, you will be able to show certain abilities after 5 years of study.At that time, if you choose to enter the second-level magic academy to study, you will be able to make a better choice.

The free first-level magic academy is actually the top priority of this reform.

Only by making the initial learning free, it is possible for those children who have no money but are talented to also enter the palace of magic, so that they can be given a chance to discover their talents.

And Lin Yuan was able to persuade the president and other colleges because of this.

If this reform can be successful, then the number of students studying magic in the whole continent will increase a lot.

The larger the base, the more people will naturally stand at the top of the pyramid of magicians.The ultimate beneficiaries are undoubtedly the Magicians Union and these magic schools.

"But if it's free, how can these first-level magic academies survive?" Divac pointed out the most important issue in this reform.

"Unfortunately, I can't solve this problem." Lin Yuan shook his head and sighed.In the original world, the funding for compulsory education was supported by the state's financial resources, so there was no shortage, but in this world, I am afraid that no country has such courage and financial resources. "After all, I come from the Eastern Continent, so I can't come up with a perfect solution in this regard. If this problem can be solved, I'm afraid the chairman and I have already finalized it."

Everyone looked at Smig in unison, but Smig also smiled wryly: "To be honest, I really want to implement the plan proposed by Mr. Lin. As for the benefits after success, I think everyone here should understand It can be seen. However, it is impossible for the Magicians Union itself to have such sufficient funds, and although your magic schools are supported by their respective countries, I think it is impossible for you to have too much funds to support this plan. "

Everyone nodded.Although magicians are supported by the state, and the magic academy is the object of the state's key support, but the country's own financial resources are limited, and of course the support for magicians cannot be unlimited.

But if the compulsory education mentioned by Lin Yuan is really carried out, it will cost a lot of money, I am afraid even the blind can see it.

Karan suddenly said in a deep voice: "In any case, this plan must be implemented."

Everyone looked at him in astonishment, not understanding why he suddenly used such a firm tone.

Karan looked around, and said again: "If the information in my hand is correct, the number of first-year students in Feynor College and Pamir College this year is less than in previous years, right?"

Divac thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

On the other end, Vice President Capaci also nodded.

Karan continued: "Actually, before I came here this time, I made a statistics when I was free, and made a graph of the incoming freshmen of Reynolds College over the years according to the year. Then I found that the curve started to rise first. That’s the performance of Reynolds College’s slow development after its establishment. Then it gradually stabilized. Until 300 years ago, that is, in the few years after the establishment of Feynor College, the number of students enrolled in the school exploded, far exceeding the previous statistics.”

"This situation lasted for more than ten years. The curve began to fall, but it still remained at a much higher level than before, and it was the same until this year. I think everyone should understand the reason for this strange phenomenon, that is, 300 After the Grand Magister Finole founded Finole Academy a few years ago, the great reform of the academy brought about a new way of learning magic, allowing more children who originally possessed magical talents to enter the magic academy to learn And..." Karan looked around, paused, and continued: "In the 300 years since the founding of Fenol Academy, have you counted how many great magisters have appeared?"

Everyone shook their heads. After all, not everyone is interested in statistics.

"I have counted, a total of 19, and 9 of them are from the first 100 years. And I counted the number of great magisters in the 300 years before the appearance of Feynor Academy, and there are 7 in total. The gap between them is, Everyone can see it."

The meaning of Karan's words is very clear, that is, the reform of the magic education system brought about by Finor after the establishment of Finor Academy has brought very huge and beneficial changes to the magicians on the Farinos continent.

The most obvious example is the huge increase in the number of magicians.

On this increased base, the number of great magisters will be more than before.

In the same way, it can be proved that if the reform proposed by Lin Yuan can be successful, it will also bring great benefits, and it will also have an immeasurable effect on the development of the various magic schools present here.

Lin Yuan looked at the people around who were deep in thought, and a thought suddenly flashed in his head.

If this education reform can really be implemented, the number of magicians will obviously be much more than it is now.

The reason why magicians have a noble status is not only that magicians are indeed powerful, but also because of their small number.

No matter where it is, things are rare and expensive.

But if the number of magicians increases too much, the status of magicians will inevitably decline accordingly.

It's like in the original world, when Lin Yuan was still young, a technical secondary school student was a hot commodity, while a college student was the son of heaven, with a bright future.

But after Lin Yuan graduated from college, college students were like crucian carp in a river, becoming worthless at all.

And before he came to this world, there were even news that college students were squeezed to death for a job with a monthly salary of 1000.

If the number of magicians will also increase to such a terrifying level, then the status of magicians may be...

Lin Yuan glanced at President Smig. If the President knew what Lin Yuan was thinking at the moment, would he still support him as much as he does now?

"So no matter what, I hope we at least make sure that this reform must be implemented." Caran paused, and said again. "As for how to implement it, we can discuss it slowly and finally come up with a suitable plan. All of you here are administrators of various magic academies. Are we afraid that we will not be able to think of a suitable method when we are together?"

Lin Yuan nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Originally, he didn't think much of Karan, and thought that he had no other abilities except arrogance, but he didn't expect to have this side.

What surprised him even more was that Karan actually had research on statistics.

After being told by Karan, everyone's minds became active, and they began to express their opinions one after another.

It's just that there are too many things that need to be involved in this reform, and how can it be possible for them to discuss it casually here.

"Come here first today." President Smeger made the concluding remarks. "This matter can't be rushed for a while. Anyway, everyone has agreed, and we can always find a way to improve it. It's just that we need help from everyone here in the future, and I hope we don't refuse."

Everyone nodded and said of course.

After chatting for a while, they each dispersed.

"Lin, you're going back to Fenol College tomorrow, right?" President Smig suddenly stopped Lin Yuandao.

"Well, what's the matter?" Lin Yuan nodded.

"Well, since you proposed this reform, you should have presided over it. It's just..." Smig shook his head and sighed.

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Master President, you are too polite. I have already expressed my thoughts in the discussions with you these days, and I believe you know it well. As for the host... I can't think of a better one than you." Candidate." After a pause, he continued, "Although I will return to Feynor College with the students, if the president has anything to do, you can write to discuss it, and I will definitely spare no effort to support it."

Smig nodded, what he wanted was Lin Yuan's words.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Yuan returned to the villa.

Now that the Continental Academy of Magic Contest is over, he and his students are going to pack up their things and head back to Feynor Academy.

Another week will be the start of the college, and it will be just in time if we go back tomorrow, so the students should have packed their things, but when Lin Yuan came back, he saw them all gathered in the hall, as if surrounded by several people. Individuals are chatting.

There was a burst of laughter from time to time.

Lin Yuan walked over puzzled, and just about to ask, a familiar person stood up.

"Lin, you have deceived us so badly."
