Crossing A Small Country And Developing GDP To The First Place

After listening to Traore’s advice.

Sankara realized that he might have thought about education too simply, and at the same time he also realized that Traore, whom he appointed casually, might be a talent.

Sankara believes in a saying, called——

“Leave professional matters to professionals.”

Sankara can’t guarantee whether Traore is an expert in this field, but being able to say what he just said means that he should at least be better than himself.

After thinking for a moment, Sankara said:

“My thoughts were too simple and too idealistic.”

“I can only say that I’m lucky to have you, who pointed out the biggest flaw in this plan for me. Otherwise, I don’t even dare to think about what troubles would happen later.”

“Let’s do this… I will hand over the right to use these 50 billion North African CFA francs to you. I am only responsible for supervision. You have the final say on how to use it.”

“And I have only one request!”

“That is, ten years from now, I want to see a university with at least a thousand students in the Republic of Burkinia. Can you do it?”

Currently, in the international community, the mainstream school system is six years of primary school, three years of junior high school and three years of high school.

Six plus three plus three is twelve!

In other words, if there are no accidents, it will take at least twelve years to train a freshman who has just entered college.

But now, Sankara only gave ten years!

If the Republic of Burkinia had perfect teaching, then Sankara’s request would not be a problem at all, but the problem is that the Republic of Burkina does not have perfect teaching.

There are only a dozen shabby primary schools and a few seminaries founded by priests.

In the Republic of Burkina, there are no high schools at all, let alone so-called universities!

So…can Traore do it?

He fell into deep thought again!

“Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock…”

The clock on the wall chimed, and time passed by minute by minute.

This time, Sankara did not lower his head to deal with official duties, but just looked at Traore quietly, waiting for an answer from him.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Finally, Traore raised his head, stared at Sankara with firm eyes, and replied loudly:

“Ten years from now, I will let you, the president, give a speech at the freshman orientation ceremony at our own university!”

Traore did not directly answer whether it could be done.

But what he said.

It says it all!

However, there is actually a problem hidden in Traore’s words!

That is Sankara himself. Can he sit in the position of President of the Republic of Burkinia for a full ten years?

Before that,

The longest-serving president of the Republic of Burkinia lasted only four years before he was ousted by a military coup launched by others.

Sankara heard the question.

“Yeah?”

Sankara smiled happily, and then gave his promise with a “joke”:

“Then I will have to think carefully about my speech in the next ten years!”

Sankara thought of the previous world, those so-called “ten-year promises.”

And now,

Is this another type of ten-year agreement?

…

“Dong dong dong——”

“Please come in!”

A middle-aged man with thinning hair who looked to be in his late fifties, holding several documents in his arms, walked into Sankara’s office accompanied by Mayev.

He walked over to Sankara’s desk.

The chair was there, but he didn’t dare sit down.

Instead, with a flattering smile on his face, he bent down and said in a humble tone:

“Your Excellency, the President’s Office said that you have something very important to ask me for?”

“Yes!”

Sankara put down the pen in his hand and nodded. Seeing that he was still standing, he made a gesture of invitation, smiled and said:

“It is indeed an important matter, but we can sit down and talk about it slowly.”

In Sankara’s vision.

Name: Robert Lucid

Nationality: Republic of Burkina

Age: 37 years old

Position: Minister of Health and Public Health

Level: Ministerial

Loyalty: 68

“Thank you, Mr. President!”

After hearing Sankara’s words, Lucid quickly sat down, but only half of his buttocks were seated, and all the weight of his body rested on his two legs.

It is better to say that he is sitting on a chair than he is walking.

“Don’t be so nervous, just relax!”

Sankara watchI felt that he was nervous, but I didn’t quite understand why he was so nervous. I could only try to comfort him, and then continued:

“I came to you to discuss with you the free vaccination of children across the country, and how to protect pregnant women so that they can give birth safely!”

“What!?”

Lucid, who was still cautiously “crouching on horseback”, suddenly stood up, looked at Sankara with shocked eyes, and said in disbelief:

“So, Mr. President, you came to me for these things!? I thought you were preparing…”

But before he could finish his words, he swallowed them back.

“What do you think I’m preparing for?”

Sankara was a little curious when he saw his reaction.

“Well……”

Lucid hesitated for a long time, as if a fish bone was stuck in his throat, and finally shook his head and replied in a tone of voice:

“No, nothing.”

Sankara took a look at him and saw that he was unwilling to talk, so he did not continue to ask. Instead, he continued the topic interrupted by Lucid just now and said:

“If children can grow up healthily, then our country can have a healthy future!”

“In the past, due to some historical issues, our government did not pay good attention to children’s health issues and the safe birth of pregnant women.”

“The infant mortality rate in our country once reached an astonishing 30%. Even if they survive by chance, 20% of them will die due to various diseases!”

“This is unimaginable in other countries!”

“So, I am going to provide a special fund to provide free vaccinations for children under 12 years old across the country. At the same time, I will import a batch of medical equipment specially used for pregnant women’s examination and childbirth.”

“If possible, I am also prepared to hire some foreign experts in this field at high salaries to provide our doctors and nurses with professional training in this field!”

“This is what I came to you to talk about!”

“What I just said is just my personal general idea, which is very imperfect. The specific plan still needs to be drawn up by your Ministry of Health!”

Perhaps the appearance of Education Minister Traore provided Sankara with ideas.

So he was also prepared to see whether Lucid, as the Minister of Health, had the ability in this area.

If available.

Sankara was also prepared to leave all these matters to Lucid, and he was only responsible for supervision.

“…”

After hearing Sankara’s thoughts, Lucid was shocked and froze.

He sat back in his chair.

This time, his whole butt was pressed against the chair.

After waiting for a while to let his half-century-old, somewhat rusty brain digest the information just received, Lucid slowly spoke:

“Your Excellency, may I ask, what is the specific amount of this special fund you mentioned?”
