Holy Roman Empire

After introspecting Austria's foreign policy, Franz decisively decided to farm in peace in the days to come.

Austria has become very popular recently. In three or two years, it has fallen to the Kingdom of Sardinia, extorted a war reparation, and then interfered in the Papal State, consolidating its hegemony in Italy.

Now there is a Holy Roman Alliance. Everyone knows that this alliance is not as simple as it seems. Just look at the response in the German region.

The difference between the Holy Roman Alliance and the Holy Roman Empire, that is, the two words, is easy to make people think.

If it were not for the participation of the Italian states and the base camp in Rome, it is estimated that many people could not sleep.

Even so, to many German nationalists, this is a prelude to Austria's desire to unify the German region.

The seeds have been buried, and the rest are waiting to take root. If you want to gain, let's wait until the strength is reached.

On June 1, 1849, compulsory education in Austria officially kicked off, and all children aged 6 to 13 can register at any compulsory education school.

Austria's compulsory education has copied some of Prussia's successful experiences. The core goals of both parties are the same, and the management method can naturally be used for reference.

The purpose of Prussia: "Through schools strictly controlled by the government, resist the spread of revolutionary ideas and train loyal and brave citizens."

The purpose of Austria is similar, except that, to put it another way, the purpose of education is to adopt the principle of "loyalty and patriotism" as the dominant idea and adopt semi-military management.

Since everyone thinks this is appropriate, Franz will naturally not object. National conditions are different and times are different. Many things in later generations are not applicable in this era.

For example, Franz is also worried that compulsory education will start to become overcrowded. After all, just adding more than a thousand schools will not be able to accommodate so many students.

Facts have proved that he has thought too much, and many people at the bottom have little interest in compulsory education. People who live in the city or in the surrounding area are okay. They have a broader vision and know that it is easier to find a job after reading a book.

In remote mountainous areas, many people haven't traveled a hundred miles since childhood, and they don't even know what use reading is.

The public's ideology has not changed, and Franz can't help but be gratified that he did not make his own claim and turned tithe into an education surcharge. Otherwise, many people would say that they do not need compulsory education and will not pay this tax.

Do not doubt that it is not uncommon for Europeans to resist taxation on the grounds that they do not need it. As long as the revolutionaries encourage it, the aristocracy will help it again. If it is not possible, it will be a nationwide tax resistance campaign.

Fortunately, compulsory education in Austria does not charge tuition fees. As long as the government forces a compulsory order, they will implement it.

Although one and a half labors are missing, isn't it missing a mouth? This account will be calculated by everyone. Schools are boarding. Except for vacation time, they will not have to bear the expenses of children.

"Statistics for freshmen enrolled, did statistics come out?" Franz asked with concern.

"Your Majesty, it has been initially counted. The total enrollment of this school is 1.246 million, which is one-fifth less than we expected." The Minister of Education, Leo von Tuss-Hohen, answered.

The education rate in Austria in this era is actually not as low as Franz originally imagined. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education, in 1848, the number of primary school students exceeded 2.3 million, and the number of middle school students exceeded 50,000.

Of course, the distribution of the educated population is also very uneven. In Austria and Bohemia, where the school enrollment rate is highest, it reached 94% in 1842, while the enrollment rate of Galicia next door is only 27%, and the lowest is Dalmatia. Tia is less than 5%.

Of course, this data is incomplete, only free people are counted, and serfs are excluded.

And enrollment does not necessarily mean that you have received education. Many free church schools cheat donations under the guise of education.

Students come and go freely, and teachers are very casual in class, and they can teach whatever they want. Not many people can learn.

Due to the corruption of the local government, many public schools do n’t make timely payments, and arrears of teachers ’salaries occur from time to time.

When the local education system was strictly investigated not long ago, there was also a school with 15 teachers. In fact, there was only one teacher. This teacher was responsible for the curriculum of all grades in this school.

Even more surprising is the existence of schools, teachers, and students, that is, the inspectors cannot find where the school is.

These things that defraud government education funds are no longer the case. The more remote the place, the more serious this situation is.

This is confirmed by many sources in later generations. Of the soldiers recruited by Austria in Galicia in 1865, only 4.5% could write simply, which is far from the original enrollment rate.

Franz in the education system, Franz has not had time to deal with it. He just took the throne and domestic stability overwhelms everything, but that doesn't mean it's over.

The compulsory education being promoted now is a test, and those who are unfavorable in doing things and daring to stretch out their hands are dealt with together.

Anti-corruption can only be done from now on. If the old accounts are counted, a large inspection of the Austrian government will find that nine officials have killed nine and there have been leaks.

This is the commonality of all the old empires. In the face of this situation, Franz is also helpless, can't he catch everyone?

He was not Emperor Chongzhen, and his eyes could not bear the sand. As long as you can handle things, you can let go of your personal ethics first, and keep the problem in a small book. The Japanese side will not worry.

"Why so much?" Franz asked with concern.

"Your Majesty, most of the compulsory education schools are concentrated in cities, and our enrollment is only for cities or surrounding areas.

These areas are precisely the areas that receive the best education. At this time, we recruited students and missed the season. All those with qualified conditions have entered the school.

The Ministry of Education previously counted the students who can enter this year. However, as long as the family conditions are acceptable, children will not be selected to enter compulsory education schools. Count Count Leo von Tus-Hohn explained

No way, who makes compulsory education in Austria poor?

In order to save expenses, all unnecessary facilities were saved, and even the teachers were just from Xinshou Village. The quality of education can only be said to be better than nothing.

There are many children in this era. Based on the population base of Austria, the number of primary school students in Austria in this era should be about 6 million before they can basically complete the compulsory education for all.

"That being the case, the Ministry of Education and the local government will fill up the gaps in student resources later, and don't waste resources.

At the same time, the teaching management system of church schools must be standardized. If they want to cheat education funds in the name of the school, let them go to prison. Franz thought about it and said

If not for fear of bad influence, Franz would have to learn from the Prussian government and **** the right to education directly from the church.

"Your Majesty, please be assured. From now on all students in Austria will take a unified examination organized by the Ministry of Education every year. As long as students fail in a large area, these garbage schools will be banned.

At the same time, we will send people to the school to check from time to time. Once we find that the teaching materials are not printed and distributed by education, we must hold the teachers and school administrators accountable for their education. Count Count Leo von Tus-Hohn

At present, the Austrian government is not rich in finance and teaching staff, and it is unable to fully spread compulsory education. In the future, these church schools will be targeted.

In Austria, only the voice of the emperor is enough. The church only needs to serve God. If you are energetic, you can go to the colonies and let the next generation do not need to worry about them.

Now that the boss has been set, the Ministry of Education will naturally work hard in this direction. Most typically, the Austrian government will end funding for church schools starting in 1850.

If they can not accept government funding, they run their education on church funds and meet the requirements of the Ministry of Education.

Franz has no opinion. Such enthusiastic people deserve praise. He doesn't mind giving these people an education medal.

In any country, there is always a group of silent devotees, and Austria is no exception. It is always bad to cut with a knife.
