Chapter 100 Imperial Educational System

Nuomiguo obviously has not considered these issues.

Hearing what Chen Yan said, the luster in her eyes dimmed.

Chen Yan looked at her disappointed look, and a sense of guilt suddenly arose in his heart, and he explained awkwardly:

"I'm not trying to stop you from going to school...

But before going to school, we must figure out some issues.

For example, the feasibility of work-study program, the location of the school, the acceptance of Asians in the campus environment, what daily necessities need to be bought for school, pens or pencils, how to solve physical problems..."

Nuomiguo looked at Chen Yan's mother-in-law and mother, cautiously, like an old mother, and suddenly felt that she was a little cute.

Ogami didn't understand these things. Seeing Chen Yan's detailed questions, he didn't say much. He just nodded along with his words and ate the next piece of baked potato.

Just listen to Chen Yan say:

“The empire implements a [dual-track] academic system.

The first track is from secondary school preparatory class - grammar school - academic university.

The second track is from elementary school to vocational middle school to vocational university.

The middle school here is the same concept as the high school, but the names are different.

As you heard, under this academic system, you need to ensure that you can attend a better middle school."

Nuomiguo nodded and took note of Chen Yan's words carefully.

Chen Yan was not lying. This was information he had only obtained after careful investigation.

Before he entered the empire, he even considered entering a vocational university to learn a trade.

He gave up the idea only after learning about the poor working conditions in the empire.

Chen Yan continued:

“For some middle schools, they are not even eligible for exchanges with academic universities.

This means that if you enter this kind of middle school, you can only go to vocational college in the future."

Chen Yan explained:

"I'm not saying that vocational colleges are bad.

I mean, for ordinary people like you and me..."

He paused here and changed his statement.

“For most people, going to a vocational college and learning a trade is the right thing to do.

Ninety-nine percent of the world's people are ordinary people who are not cut out for academic universities - not everyone has the patience to sit in a library or a lab all day.

Therefore, for the vast majority of these people, it is a very good choice to enter a vocational college, learn a craft, and start making money early.”

He changed the subject.

"But as far as the current living environment of workers is concerned, I strongly recommend that you don't go to a vocational college, let alone become a worker.

The living conditions of the workers in the empire were poor, and the factories did not consider the workers' situation at all.

Women are treated like men, men are treated like beasts, and even children are not spared - the empire condones the use of child labor in factories!

Workers' wages are low, and even the social insurance provided by law cannot be guaranteed..."

Nuomiguo was frightened by his words and couldn't say a word for a while.

Chen Yan took a sip of mint soup, moistened his throat, and calmed down before continuing:

"So I strongly suggest that we first find out whether the graduation certificate issued to you by the Choir Church School can allow you to enter a grammar middle school, or can it only be used to enter a vocational middle school."

"If the graduation certificate issued by a missionary school is only valid for vocational high schools... I suggest that you should not go to school for the sake of going to school for the time being."

Nuomiguo had come back to his senses. After digesting the information Chen Yan said, he nodded and said, "That's right...I understand."

Ogami was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but she roughly understood what Chen Yan meant.

It's just that he was used to silence, so he didn't speak as usual.

Chen Yan was so serious that the roasted potatoes in his hands had already lost their temperature.

"In short...going to school is a big deal, and it is related to your future development. You must not make a decision lightly."

He made it clear what he meant, and Nuomiguo was no longer disappointed.

"If that's the case, it's totally fine." She said with a smile.

Chen Yan took a bite of the cold baked potato and thought incoherently:

“If a diploma from a church school really qualifies you to attend a grammar school, then it is indeed a good choice.

After you attend a missionary school for two years and get a diploma after graduation, you can even take the diploma to the immigration bureau and apply for a refugee visa.

If you apply for a refugee visa, you can have official residence rights in the Empire.

The most important thing is that once you get the official status, you don’t have to be cautious and afraid to go out every day.”

Nuomiguo was obviously very excited: "As long as you have a visa, it is equivalent to having an official identity, right?"

Chen Yan nodded:

“That’s the way it is currently.

Because there were so many immigrants entering the country, the empire had no time to enact new immigration laws.

Even if a new law is enacted, the local government must first submit a bill, hold a meeting in the Imperial House, and after lengthy discussions and voting, the new law can be passed... or so it goes.

I don't know the more specific process.

In any case, at this stage, as long as you meet the visa qualifications of the Empire and get the visa, it is equivalent to having permanent residency."

Chen Yan drank the mint soup in one gulp, wiped his mouth, looked at Nuomiguo who was deep in thought, and said:

"Once you have a visa, you will meet all the qualifications to study at various academic universities in the empire.

You will be exposed to more knowledge and have the ability to make money based on this knowledge.

At that time, real life begins..."

Nuomiguo nodded: "I'll ask again tomorrow."

Chen Yan choked on a bite of baked potatoes and quickly waved his hand: "Don't..."

He coughed hard several times before coughing out the baked potatoes.

Looking at the confused Nuomiguo, Chen Yan whispered:

"After all, your status is sensitive now. There will be an election soon. Street police patrols will become more and more frequent. If you are seen, you may be deported..."

It doesn't matter if you are caught, Ogami is so good at fighting, a few police officers with guns are not enough for him to chop him twice.

But I'm unlucky. I can't even use a kitchen knife. If that happens, I'll be waiting to be caught...

Even if Ogami can save me, I don't want to be rescued by him... I still want to live in the empire. Once that happens, my days in the empire will be over.

The crime of harboring a gangster is not much lighter than illegal immigration.

Chen Yan patted his chest: "So, this matter is all on me!"

Nuomiguo stood up, came to the dining table, and bowed ninety degrees.

"Then please leave it to the landlord!"

Hey, this Sakura countryman is good at everything but has a lot of etiquette...

Chen Yan wanted to stand up and help her, but Ogami pushed her down.

Ogami bit a potato in her mouth, with a "taken for granted" expression on her face, and gave Chen Yan a "no problem" look.

Ah this...

Is this the rule of Sakura people...

Chen Yan had no choice but to accept this bow in embarrassment and suffering. Just when he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door behind him.
