The Rise of Australia

Chapter 71 Nursing Homes, Orphanages and Technical Schools

"There is still a big gap between our per capita income and European countries. It will be a long process to make up for this gap, but we must pay attention to the interests of all people. What benefits Australians is what benefits Australia. The policies implemented by the government must We must implement it thoroughly and ensure that every Australian can enjoy our policies as much as possible." Arthur nodded and said slightly solemnly.

Prime Minister Evan nodded and said: "As for the welfare policy, according to your instructions, we have built a certain number of nursing homes and orphanages in each state as appropriate. Among them, a total of thirteen nursing homes have been built. Currently, there are There are more than 2,000 elderly people who have no ability to live independently. As for orphanages, we have only built one in each state, and currently have a total of more than 1,000 orphans. The government's next plan is to continue to build nursing homes and orphanages. , striving to rescue more elderly people and young children."

If the jobs created by the massive construction benefit all adults in Australia, then nursing homes and orphanages help those elderly and orphans who have no ability to live independently.

At present, due to scale reasons, nursing homes mainly accommodate elderly people who have no children, low income and no ability to live independently.

In any case, the construction of nursing homes and orphanages has very effectively alleviated the misery of poor Australian civilians, allowing many elderly people and young children to survive.

Various welfare policies and tax cuts accounted for a large part of the reason why Australians respected and fanatically loyal to Arthur.

In the hearts of common people, whether a monarch is great and respected depends on whether he loves his people and respects the interests of all his people.

At least now it seems that Arthur has been very successful in this regard. Since Arthur arrived in Australia, he has successively promulgated various welfare policies that are beneficial to Australians and cut most of the taxes.

Under such circumstances, if Australians still do not admire this monarch who cares about the people, then there is a real problem.

"The government has done a good job in this regard, Prime Minister Evan. In Australia, as long as there are still lonely elderly people and orphans, the operation of nursing homes and orphanages will continue. I can accept a long but effective plan, but It is unacceptable that there is no progress and action. I hope that more nursing homes and orphanages can be built this year to let Australians see that their government cares about them." Arthur nodded happily and ordered.

Nursing homes and orphanages don’t cost much to build, and the daily expenses aren’t high either. But these two institutions are very effective means of winning over people's hearts and minds.

A small nursing home or orphanage can accommodate about 100 people, and the annual cost will not exceed 2,000 pounds.

Because human rights protection policies in this era are very low, and in an era when European countries are still secretly implementing the 12-hour work system, how much attention do people pay to the lonely elderly and orphans?

You only need to provide them three meals a day and some basic things, and you can win the favor of many people. Why not?

"Yes, Your Highness." Prime Minister Evan responded.

This is a very simple task, but it can bring great prestige to the royal family and the government, so Prime Minister Evan answered very simply.

"What about education and health care? What results have we achieved with the construction of our schools and hospitals?" Arthur asked.

In terms of people's livelihood, in addition to various welfare policies, education and medical care are also the focus of Arthur's attention.

"Your Highness, according to your instructions, the Ministry of Education built 107 primary schools, 11 middle schools, and national universities last year. Currently, we have enrolled a total of more than 12,300 students. It is expected that this year The enrollment figures will continue to increase." Education Minister Richard stood up and replied.

The construction of 100 primary schools was a task that Arthur had given to Minister Richard at a cabinet meeting. Unexpectedly, Minister Richard met the target very smoothly.

"How is the situation at the university? Are our precious college students doing well in the university?" Arthur asked with a smile.

Primary school education is all about basic things, and basically nothing can go wrong. But universities are different. Those hundreds of precious college students will be the mainstay of Australia in a few years. Arthur will feel distressed if anything goes wrong.

"Everything is fine, Your Highness. Because the university adopts a half-theory and half-practical approach, those college students have mastered all kinds of knowledge fairly smoothly, and their study plans are in progress in an orderly manner." Minister Richard said with a smile.

The practical and semi-theoretical teaching method used by these college students is also a helpless choice for the Ministry of Education.

Because industry and various constructions require a lot of technical talents, but Australia's reserves in this area are not perfect.

This has led to these college students becoming good technical talents, and occasionally being recruited by industry and other departments to work as laborers for a whole day.

But this is not without its benefits. Because of the hands-on practice, these college students are very effective in mastering the knowledge they have learned.

Although it will make you physically and mentally exhausted, your learning efficiency has indeed improved, and it can also solve some common technical problems encountered by various departments.

"The nutritional supply of college students must keep up. They will be the mainstay of our country. In addition, in order to solve the problem of the shortage of skilled workers in our country, on the premise of attracting skilled workers to immigrate, I think it is also necessary to establish a A technical school that recruits ordinary workers for brief training, allowing them to master specific skills and enter more advanced positions. The Ministry of Education can discuss plans during this time. Teachers can be hired from Europe. Our existing excellent workers And talents can also be used as temporary teachers. This technical college mainly cultivates technical abilities, with the purpose of cultivating more skilled workers and talents for Australia." Arthur looked at Minister Richard and made his request.

Although university education is going very smoothly, these precious college students will become the mainstay of Australia's technology industry in the future. They are mostly scientific research and management talents, and it is naturally impossible for them to enter the bottom level of work.

This will also lead to a problem, that is, Australia's shortage of skilled workers cannot be alleviated.

Therefore, it is very necessary to establish a technical school dedicated to training technical workers. It doesn't matter how advanced their knowledge is, as long as they can master certain skills and abilities and grow into a qualified or even excellent worker, then Arthur's expectations have been met.
