At the annual d of the year summary meeting, the financial budget for the next year is allocated to each departmt based on the circumstances of the previous year.

A departmt like the Ministry of Education, which the governmt attaches extra consideration to, typically receives an extra budget of a two million Australian dollars.

"Your Majesty, we plan on expanding the Australasia National University and Oakland University, developing them into the first and second universities in Australilarasia.

The expansion of these two universities requires about one million Australian dollars each, especially for Australasia National University, it needs a budget of at least one to .5 million Australian dollars to keep pace with European universities." Minister of Education Richard explained.

"Moreover, to reserve more technical talts for the Leonora Industrial Base, we have built one technical training school each in West Australia and South Australia, to cultivate skilled workers for the industrial base. There are also expansions of technical schools near Sydney and Melbourne, which all together have also cost two million Australian dollars.

The total budget of the Ministry of Education this year is only 6 million Australian dollars, minus the normal maintance costs of several universities, the available budget of the Ministry of Education is now less than one million Australian dollars, and we are unable to build any new universities." explained Richard.

The Ministry of Education indeed took longer strides this year, not only plan on expanding existing universities but also trying to attain the standards of European Universities.

Additionally, they aim to construct new technical schools and universities to meet the increasing demand for technical workers and universities in Australasia.

Currtly, with the prevalce of Australasia\'s educational policy, the average level of education in Australasia has reached high school level.

Ev though many people have intermediate education level, getting the average education level to high school in this era is quite the accomplishmt for the Australasian Governmt.

From the continuous eruption of various schools and universities in Australasia over these years, one can observe the governmt and the educational departmt\'s efforts in improving Australasia\'s educational vironmt.

Arthur looked at Prime Minister Walter and Finance Minister Roger Jackson, waiting for the governmt and the finance departmt\'s opinion.

"Your Majesty, education is an important matter for a country. The popularisation of education is imperative for our developmt in all aspects. If it were not for the efforts in education, it would be difficult for our industry to develop to its currt scale due to talt shortage.

I believe that the work of the education departmt is very necessary, and an additional budget of 5 million Australian dollars is not much. Ev if it is for the construction of universities, I believe that the budget can be increased to about 8 million. This amount should be sufficit to expand the number of universities in our country to t, and this is meaningful for our educational work.

" said Prime Minister Walter, taking the initiative to speak.

Having t universities might only be a small fraction of the number of universities in the powerful nations, but for Australasia, it can be se as a result of hard work.

If they could have t universities, it would mean that they could cultivate thousands or ev ts of thousands of university studts each year. This would greatly fill the gap of intermediate-level talts and ev plant the seeds for the developmt of high-level talts in Australasia.

Among these thousands of university studts each year, many outstanding scitists and various experts could be fostered, and these talts are crucial for the developmt and construction of the country.

Ev though Arthur can obtain a certain number of high-level talts every year by virtue of the Victoria Award, these self-cultivated talts are definitely more loyal than the attracted talts, and they are also very handy to use.

Everyone\'s eyes th turned to Finance Minister Roger Jackson, waiting for the final opinion of the finance departmt.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Roger Jackson chuckled reluctantly and said, " Since the Prime Minister has said so, how can the finance departmt not support it? Your Majesty, the finance departmt can provide about 8 to million Australian dollars of financial budget to help the education departmt build more universities and expand schools.

But after this million Australian dollars are spt, I am afraid this year\'s financial situation will show a deficit again. Don\'t blame me wh that happs, Your Majesty!"

Before Arthur could speak, Prime Minister Walter quickly said: "Rest assured, Minister Roger. This financial budget is to be used for education, ev if there is a slight deficit, it wouldn\'t be much. This is a decision that everyone is involved in, and Your Majesty is watching personally; who would blame you?"

In the d, Arthur instructed: "Minister Richard, I hope that this additional financial budget can be used for education. Wh the Ministry raises its results, you, as the Minister, should take the credit. But I hope there won\'t be any shoddy work in the construction of universities and other schools.

The studts of Australasia should live in a safe and comfortable vironmt, not some dangerous construction, do you understand?"
