The Emperor’s Angel of Death

The second education system is a vocational education system led by the Education Department under the Ministry of the Interior. This system is mainly composed of vocational preparatory schools, administrative colleges, and seamen's homes. The former focuses on cultivating various semi-technical personnel needed by the Ministry of the Interior, such as medical staff, engineers, monitors, and auditors. However, they also learn general theoretical knowledge. After passing the graduation examination, they can enter relevant departments of the Ministry of the Interior.

The administrative colleges, as the name suggests, focus on cultivating various junior administrative personnel. There are very detailed sub-colleges, such as taxation, statistics, resource management, etc. The normal duration of study is 6-8 years. Similarly, after passing the graduation examination, they can enter relevant institutions of the Ministry of the Interior and begin their enviable life as public officials.

The educational institutions of the Ministry of the Interior are usually located in the mid-hive and upper-hive. Their enrollment method is generally through examinations, and the students recruited are uniformly 12-14 years old. Furthermore, they must be able to fluently read and write High Gothic—this alone eliminates the vast majority of children from ordinary families, not to mention participating in the difficult written tests that follow. However, this is also the most sought-after educational direction for mid-hive residents. After all, once they enter the Ministry of the Interior, they should be stable for the rest of their lives if nothing unexpected happens. Therefore, some families are even willing to spend everything to hire an expensive High Gothic tutor for their children. (These are all made up by Lao Mo himself, please enjoy it, don't take it too seriously).

The Seamen's Home is somewhat special because this institution is not strictly under the Ministry of the Interior. Instead, it is an educational institution led by the Rogue Trader Association and under the Department of the Navy. Its main function is to train technical personnel and upper deck sailors needed for ships. Although most ships rely on the Void-Born's own reproduction to maintain the operation of the ships and do not need to replenish crew members, high-intensity wars always produce additional losses. It is not uncommon for ships to not sink, but the crew members die in large numbers. In addition, newly built ships also need technical crew members. Relying solely on slave labor and servitors cannot operate an entire warship. However, the Navy cannot establish naval bases on every planet. On the other hand, Rogue Traders also need a large number of crew members due to frequent adventures. Thus, the strange institution of the Seamen's Home was born. It can be regarded as the reserve force of the Imperial Navy. In places where there are no naval bases, it is managed by the Ministry of the Interior, but the funds are provided by the Rogue Traders. During peacetime, it provides crew members for merchant fleets, and once war breaks out nearby, the Navy can replenish sailors anytime, anywhere.

The main recruitment target of the Seamen's Home is teenagers of the appropriate age from the mid-hive and lower-hive. Generally, they need to be trained for 4-6 years, which is considered a good way out. However, becoming a sailor often means saying goodbye to their hometown for the rest of their lives. Many people never return after their first voyage.

Third, there are various private educational institutions, which are divided into many types. For example, there are "private schools" established by civilians themselves by pooling money on a block-by-block basis. These schools are generally small in scale, with fewer than a hundred students and only two or three teachers. They mainly recruit children aged 6-12. Therefore, they are more like nurseries than schools. The school environment is very simple, and the teachers are usually ordinary people who only know a little knowledge. They can teach the students very little. Very few teachers who can teach High Gothic charge extremely high fees.

There are also large colleges established by various chambers of commerce, guilds, and industrial consortia. Due to their strong financial resources, these commercial organizations can also establish very complete education systems, even teaching from the age of 6 to 20. Their academic programs are also very complicated. Their recruitment scope is mainly the children of employees within the enterprises and organizations, as well as some folk intelligent children who can pass the IQ test. The goal is to cultivate various employees and researchers who are highly loyal to the organization from an early age. This is also an important means to prevent competitors from infiltrating. However, these institutions are generally located in the mid-hive and upper-hive.

In addition, there are technical institutes run by the Adeptus Mechanicus, but they recruit very few people, and the structure is too special, closer to adult education. They are rarely discussed.

Fourth, there are comprehensive universities exclusively for the upper-hive and spire-hive, which are commonly known as noble academies.

Noble academies have detailed divisions according to the different ages of students. 5-7 years old is early childhood education, 7-11 years old is primary education, 11-16 years old is secondary education, 16-19 years old is higher education, and after 19 years old, they enter more specialized sub-colleges, such as law school, military academy, political science school, history school, art school, etc. After graduating from these sub-colleges, they will become probationary law enforcement officers, local defense force officers, department officials, scholars, and other cornerstones of the Imperial rule.

In addition, some worlds also have Schola Progenium belonging to the Departmento Munitorum, but the Nayseth system does not have this.

Soshjan summoned representatives of these people to understand the planet's education situation and to ask these professionals about their views on popularizing or expanding education - in fact, Soshjan had been brewing this matter for a long time, and originally wanted to experiment on Nayseth IV, but it was disrupted by a great maelstrom expedition.

"Everyone, please don't be restrained, please sit down, please sit down."

In the governor's mansion's reception room, facing the huge and majestic armored giant on the throne, and the Terminator guards holding black spears on both sides of the red carpet, coupled with the very solemn, gorgeous and huge hall, made the mortals feel a lot of pressure. The cardinal wearing a white-gold robe kept wiping his forehead with his sleeves.

A total of 6 people were invited, a cardinal of the Ecclesiarchy in his fifties, two hired teachers of the Ministry of the Interior in brown uniforms, one man and one woman, both in their thirties, an old man in a black academic robe who looked suave, a professional female teacher wearing professional formal wear and a hip-hugging skirt, with black stockings and red high heels wrapped around her legs, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her fair face, looking very capable, and the last one, a young woman in plain clothes, a white top and a black skirt, about twenty-five or six years old. Although she tried her best to keep it clean, you could still see some stains on the edge of her skirt if you looked closely, and her face was a little haggard, with her long brown hair tied behind her head, and you could still see the dust on it.

Hearing Soshjan's words, the people who had been bowing their heads also separated, and they quickly found their seats. The plainly dressed lady hesitated for a moment after seeing the gorgeous chair with a gold and red cushion, and carefully let her buttocks only touch the edge.

"Teachers, representatives, I believe everyone already knows the purpose of coming here in advance. I have always believed that to develop a world, we must first develop its education, because only education can provide better soldiers and better workers. Why are the Cadians and Krieg so good at fighting? Because everyone there, once able to walk, begins to receive education, although it is only military education, it is also a very complete and mature education. More importantly, it can be popularized to everyone."

Saying that, Soshjan looked at the cardinal.

"Cardinal, do you think the residents of the lower-hive and under-hive love the Imperium?"
