Within a few days, all five universities began registration for the entrance exams. Of course, all five colleges conducted registration for the entrance exams at the same time. This prevented some people from applying to the Royal College in Kaifeng Chengcheng, failing the exam, and then applying to other colleges.
As for the issue of teachers in these academies, the imperial court had a huge official system, and basically every subject had corresponding officials who could take on teaching tasks.
These officials were not only knowledgeable in their fields but also experienced, ensuring the quality of teaching. More importantly, they were able to combine the actual needs of the court with academic theory, cultivating talents that truly met the needs of national development.
The most important point is that these court officials can also convey to these students the concept of loyalty to the court and serving the country, so that they can display their talents and remain loyal in their future careers and become pillars of the country.
Of course, it is impossible for Chu Fan to have all the teachers in the academy be court officials. In the future, he will also recruit some folk scholars and experts to participate in teaching, enrich the teaching content, and improve students' knowledge. Of course, these folk scholars and experts must also undergo strict screening and assessment to ensure that their knowledge and moral character meet the standards before they can be competent for the teaching task.
Of course, the primary schools established in towns and the middle schools built in counties and prefectures are managed by local officials, and teachers are selected locally to ensure that the teaching quality is in line with local needs, which not only cultivates local talents but also promotes the development of local education.
Although there are still some minor problems with the environment of the Three Acropolis University, it does not affect the overall recruitment and teaching of students, so there is no need to wait until the college is fully built before recruiting students and teaching.
When registering for the entrance examination, the number of students registering for the two academies in Kaifeng City was relatively normal. They were basically young children from official families, many outstanding students studying in other national academies, and outstanding children from aristocratic families.
However, both members of the Royal Government Affairs Office and officials in the Wei court believed that this situation was very normal, because the education reform in Wei had just begun, and the most knowledgeable and talented people in Wei were mostly concentrated in these aristocratic families and official families.
Even many disciples from the sects began to participate in the registration for Weiwu Academy and the Royal Academy. Most of them were disciples with poor martial arts talent.
Because they had received some education in the sect, they had basic knowledge and martial arts. They might not have been able to compete with the children of aristocratic families in the past, but now the academies run by the Wei State had many places for admission, and it was not just about the level of Confucian attainments.
The current admission standards allow them to obtain a considerable amount of points based on their martial arts foundation, which will also allow them to study at Weiwu Academy or the Royal Academy.
These disciples of the sect may have originally been at the bottom of the sect, but if they could enter these academies, they might also become officials of the Wei State, and then they could also become respected by others.
However, the academies in the three Acropolis cities were experiencing some anomalies. Wei Guo's National Defense University also saw a significant influx of warriors applying. Shengwu University was even more overwhelmed with applications, with many children of wealthy merchants and prominent families flocking to Yaocheng to enroll. This made Prince Zhong, Chu Xiujie, very uneasy.
You should know that the purpose of Shengwu University is to hope that the graduates can become useful people who can uphold justice for the people of Wei. However, those who register are basically children of wealthy families and aristocratic families. So, after graduating from Shengwu University, can these people really become useful people who can uphold justice for the people?
Prince Zhong went to the palace with such questions and sought answers from Chu Fan.
Chu Fan looked at Prince Zhong who entered the palace. He didn't know why this prince suddenly came to the palace instead of organizing the enrollment work of Shengwu University in Yaocheng.
Chu Fan asked, "Prince Zhong is not in Yaocheng to preside over the work, why is he here in the palace today?"
After completing his ceremony, Chu Xiujie bluntly expressed his concerns. He said, "Your Majesty, when I was in charge of the enrollment process for Shengwu University, I noticed that many children from wealthy and aristocratic families were applying. I am worried that ordinary people will not be able to compete with these children from aristocratic families, and there will not be many ordinary people among the students admitted to Shengwu University.
I'm worried that if most of the recruits are from these aristocratic families, then whether they can truly uphold justice for the people will be a problem. After all, their origins and backgrounds determine their positions and interests, making it difficult for them to truly consider issues from the perspective of the people.
After hearing Chu Xiujie's question, Chu Fan thought that this was not a problem, because patriotism and loyalty did not entirely depend on one's background. The key lay in the guidance of education and personal awareness.
As for why Chu Fan thought this way, it was because there were too many examples on Blue Star that proved that birthplace could not determine a person's quality and future.
Chu Fan said, "Prince Zhong raised this question, so I believe you have already made a decision in your mind, right? So, Prince Zhong, could you please tell me what you think?"
Chu Xiujie said, "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion that Yaocheng officials, when admitting students, should appropriately increase the number of children from ordinary people and curb the number of children from aristocratic families admitted. After all, Yaocheng officials are responsible for the admission of students. We are fully capable of doing this without anyone noticing, and without the aristocratic families in Wei State being aware of it."
After hearing Chu Xiujie's countermeasures, Chu Fan couldn't help but sigh and said, "You are really smart. It seems that the enrollment work of the three Acropolis cannot be completely handed over to the officials of the three Acropolis. His Majesty has asked the Royal Government Affairs Office and the court ministers to send people to supervise your admissions work."
Chu Xiujie, of course, also heard the dissatisfaction and sarcasm in Chu Fan's words, and an awkward look crossed his face. He had expected Chu Fan to appreciate his countermeasures, but he hadn't expected such an evaluation. You know, His Majesty has always put the people of Wei first, so why is he so dissatisfied with his suggestions now?
Chu Xiujie said, "I am ignorant. Your Majesty, please tell me what I should do."
Chu Fan said, "Prince Zhong, have you forgotten so quickly the crimes committed by the lords of the three acropolises?"
