Chapter 548 East African History Lesson
East Africa had no intention of paying attention to the Japanese. Anyway, the legal basis had already been obtained from the Far Eastern Empire. Therefore, in order to ensure their own economic interests in the local area, it was reasonable to station troops. As for the Japanese causing trouble or protesting, they were all insignificant matters.

First town city.
Otto High School.
“Today we continue to study the ancient history of the world. We can learn from history to understand the rise and fall of nations, so history is a compulsory course for every middle school student in East Africa.”
The importance of history is self-evident, especially for countries like East Africa. As we all know, East Africa has no history, so East Africa has to promote the ancient history of the world.
East Africa's development over the past decade is still full of the dark history of colonization and slavery, so it is not worth talking about with outsiders now.
However, Ernst did not intend to hide it. In Ernst's opinion, it is better to open up than to block. After a long time in East Africa, they can write their own set of mainstream history with official endorsement.
Americans would not include the massacre of Indians in their national education history textbooks, but Ernst dared to include the persecution of blacks in the history textbooks of East Africa. Anyway, Ernst was almost dead by then, so he didn't care much about the notoriety.
"The Three Kingdoms were unified and became the Jin Dynasty, but the Jin Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty... It eventually led to the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, which was very similar to the Roman Empire in the West at that time. Therefore, the extravagant enjoyment of the ruling class and the prevalence of comparison were important reasons for the demise of the two countries."
“So the best state of a country should be one in which the overall social atmosphere is healthy and positive, and everyone is brave enough to take on social responsibilities and perform their duties…”
The teacher was talking to himself and some students had already started arguing.
"The fall of the Jin Dynasty is closely related to the feudal system. The Rebellion of the Eight Princes was bound to happen sooner or later, consuming the entire population, food, and strength of the Western Jin Dynasty. Then it was destroyed by foreign races. It was because of itself that it was destroyed by foreign races. Therefore, internal strife was the root cause, and foreign invasion was the result."
"In the early Western Jin Dynasty, the Hu people began to migrate to China from surrounding areas on a large scale, so ethnic policy is very important. The Jin Dynasty did not complete ethnic integration. If East Africans did not intermarry, change customs, and unify languages, they would definitely suffer the same fate as the Jin Dynasty in the future."
"The ethnic problems in East Africa are mainly about black people. If there are too many black people, the same result may occur."
"You are worrying too much. There used to be a lot of black people in the First Town. Can you see them now? This shows that the number of black people is decreasing."
"Wouldn't that be too cruel?"
"Haha, those who are not of our race must have different hearts. Look at how well the Jin Dynasty treated foreigners! But in the end, they still turned their butcher knives against the people of the Jin Dynasty."
"I think the black people should be physically reduced in size, just like the Anglo-Saxons."
"Ahem, actually, when it comes to the fall of the Roman Empire, it seems that the Germanic people also contributed to it, and the orthodox Germanic people seem to be us Germans."
"Civilization is about creation and destruction. If East Africa does not want to go down the path of destruction, it should guard against foreign issues."
East African students are not embarrassed at all when talking about ethnic issues. Thanks to East Africa's propaganda and policies, these native East African children get along very well. After all, many of them grew up together, or one of their parents is white and the other is yellow, making mixed-race children very common in East Africa.
Pure-blooded Germans and Chinese have become a minority, at least this is the case with the new generation in East Africa. In this era, if one can find a wife by sweet talk, then he is indeed capable, but such people are a minority, especially the men in East Africa, many of whom are from rural areas and are not good at speaking. If East Africa does not help them find a solution, they may remain single for their entire lives in East Africa. Therefore, most marriages in East Africa are arranged marriages by the state.
Arranged marriages do not allow for picky choices. In order to accelerate ethnic integration in East Africa, East Africa must resort to this measure. In fact, this is not a sensational thing. It is the 19th century, an era of both conservative and open culture, and the social atmosphere in East Africa is more conservative than in most countries.
"Okay, that's all for today's history class. This week's homework is to write an essay about your thoughts on today's lesson. It has to be an argumentative essay with a minimum of 500 words, and there's no upper limit. You have to present it on stage next Monday."
As soon as the word "homework" was heard, there was a wailing from the audience below the podium. If Ernst knew about this, he would definitely despise these guys who had never experienced the tactic of doing a large number of exercises. If East Africa's financial resources were not limited and paper was relatively precious in this era, Ernst would definitely ask the Ministry of Education to print more exercise books.
But then again, the knowledge in the textbooks is indeed enough for East African students to learn, and exams and exercise books are just to strengthen their grasp of knowledge points and their ability to respond to problems.
This is pure talent. People with good brains can naturally find solutions calmly. Generally, they can understand the knowledge after gaining more knowledge. Only those with dull brains have to practice questions repeatedly.
Therefore, the relatively relaxed teaching environment in East Africa makes it easier to screen out talented, hardworking and interested students.
Compulsory education in East Africa focuses on screening rather than improvement, because East Africa is already ahead of all countries in the world in terms of universal secondary education, and the overall improvement is the highest. It can cope with future international talent competition and has advantages, but they will only be reflected many years later. It is now in the cultivation stage, and it will take time for it to bear fruit.
Improvement is a thankless task. For example, Far East’s education in the past could be said to be the best in the world. Don’t underestimate the number of talented people who went abroad and never returned. In fact, they were only a drop in the bucket compared to Far East’s huge student population.
After all, there are only so many jobs that match academic qualifications, but the Far East's education system has produced an excess number of college students, and domestic employment levels cannot meet their needs.
As for why it seems that it is easy for overseas students to achieve good results, that is actually an illusion. Foreign capitalists are not fools. They also want to pick the best from the overseas students. The students in the Far East who can study abroad have relatively good abilities, and coupled with the West's centuries of accumulation, it is naturally not easy for them to be surpassed.
Take machine tools for example, they are becoming more and more precise. The chicken and the egg come first, and the advantage of developed countries far exceeds that of developed countries. Even the United States, the Soviet Union and Japan cannot compare with those old European countries because their history is not as long as Europe. As the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, Europe has inherent advantages.
The high-end machine tool industry is basically controlled by European countries, such as Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain... Unless followers like the Far East Empire can find new ways and change tracks, they can only follow.
Moreover, selecting outstanding talents is also in line with East Africa's national conditions. East Africa's resources in the fields of higher education and high technology are not as good as those of the old powers, and can even be described as scarce. Without these as support, East Africa's education will naturally be divided into positions for capable people.
