Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 253 Education System

  In Fang Lang's heart, he actually wanted to meet Yang Gan's senior.

  However, his current status does not allow him to have too much private time for himself. Even if they meet, they can only just nod and shake hands, and they will rush to the end.

  Yang Gan is not dissatisfied with this result, after all, his relationship with Fang Lang is obviously closer than that of his senior.

  “His name is Benin David, he is a Portuguese-born white man, and his father is also a veteran member of the Social Democratic Party, but he has been just an ordinary community member all his life, responsible for collecting information in the local community and submitting some grassroots proposals.

  Under the influence of his father, he was interested in politics since he was a child. He joined the Social Democratic Party during school and actively participated in the activities of the Social Democratic Party in the area where the school was located at that time.

  After graduation, he stayed in downtown St. Paul and became a government clerk.

  Although he is just a small clerk, he is very active both in school and at work, and he is very prestigious among young people.

  I was also influenced by him, so I became interested in politics. "

  In Yang Gan's description, Fang Lang could feel that this young man named Benin David was very good.

   Maybe one day this young man will become a rising star in Brazilian politics.

  Maybe if I ask Nice Company to give the other party a hand now, it will bring me rich rewards.

   "I see, this time let the people from Nice Company contact him first!

  If he can seize this opportunity, he will have a seat on the St. Paul City Council.

   Next time I'm back in São Paulo, I'll meet him in person. "

   Received Fang Lang's personal promise, and Yang Gan didn't continue to pester him.

   Today, his harvest has been huge.

  Fang Lang looked at Yang Kun who had been following Yang Qian again.

  Yang Kun is two years younger than Fang Lang. Unlike his elder brother Yang Gan who finished college, his younger brother is not as good as his elder brother in terms of academic performance, and only passed a teacher training college.

  Brazil's education system is not much different from that in China. It is mainly divided into primary education, intermediate education, and advanced education.

   Among them, primary education is equivalent to domestic primary and junior high schools;

  Intermediate education includes high school, vocational college, and teacher training college. The schooling period is 3 years, which is similar to that in China;

  Higher education is a university.

  Of course, this is just Brazil’s plan. In fact, the current level of education of Brazilians is very low, and many people cannot even complete their initial education.

  Thanks to the universal value of the Chinese that "everything is inferior but education is high", Chinese families cherish the opportunity for their children to receive education.

  So, both Fang Lang and the Yang brothers have completed secondary education in Brazil.

   As for higher education, it does require learning talent.

  And the chances of completing higher education in Brazil during this period were very slim.

  In 1789, Brazilian literati had asked to establish a university in the model of the University of Coimbra in Portugal, but because of Portugal's opposition, the plan to establish a university in the colony eventually came to naught.

   It was not until 1920 that Brazil established the first university in the country - the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro; then the University of Sao Paulo was founded in Sao Paulo in 1934;

   These are the only two universities in Brazil so far.

  Yang Gan is a graduate of the University of Sao Paulo, while his younger brother Yang Kun is studying in a teacher training college.

  Education is similar to that of Fang Lang, both of which are equivalent to high school education.

   Don’t look down on high school education. In Brazil in this era, high school education already belongs to cultural people.

   "Brother Kun, how are you studying now! Didn't you skip class like your brother and I did?"

  Yang Kun glanced at the parents beside him embarrassedly, shook his head shyly and said:

   "Brother, I have already graduated, and now I am working as a teacher in an elementary school in St. Paul Town."

   "Hey! Have you already worked? How time flies!

  How is school life? Are you used to it?

   Has anyone bullied you, you told me that I would beat him up for you. "

  Yang Kun is two grades lower than Fang Lang. When he was studying, he was often bullied by his classmates because he was thin and small. Fang Lang, who was two grades older than him, helped Yang Kun teach his classmates who bullied him twice.

  So, when Fang Lang saw Yang Kun again, he made a joke.

   This reminded the adult Yang Kun of the embarrassing things in his childhood, and felt a little embarrassed.

  Fang Lang noticed his cousin's expression, smiled and changed the subject:

   "What are you teaching in school now! Our current immigration company is short of teachers, have you considered the immigration company's help?"

   "Ah! I teach math in elementary school, can I help?"

  Yang Kun looked at Fang Lang expectantly. Obviously, he was also willing to participate in the Chinese immigration work of Fangyuan Group.

   "Of course, as long as you are willing to contribute, I welcome it.

  As far as I know, we have resettled many immigrants in Sao Paulo. If you want, you can go to night school as a part-time teacher to teach Portuguese and mathematics after get off work! "

   Seeing Yang Kun's slightly disappointed face, Fang Lang said doubtfully:

   "What's the matter, don't you want to?"

  “It’s not that I don’t want to, but mainly because I want to be a full-time immigrant teacher, or to teach immigrant children elementary school knowledge.

  I still look at us Chinese more kindly. "

  Yang Kun's words stunned Fang Lang, especially when he mentioned us Chinese.

  Because Yang Kun's appearance is different from his elder brother Yang Gan, Yang Gan at least looks like his uncle Yang Zong in facial features.

  Yang Kun, on the other hand, except for his black hair, can't see the appearance of a Chinese at all, with white skin, blue eyes, and three-dimensional facial features.

  If he doesn't speak, no one can connect him with the Chinese.

  So when he said that sentence, it was more friendly to look at the Chinese, Fang Lang was in a daze for a while.

  Fang Lang didn't expect his cousin to agree with his Chinese identity so much.

  He patted Yang Kun on the shoulder happily and said:

   "Okay, I like this sentence.

How about this! Many of our immigrants and laborers come with their families, and some children originally came with them.

  Two days ago, I was still thinking about starting primary education in our Chinese residential areas to improve the education level of Chinese youths.

   It happens that you are my family, so I will leave this matter to you!

  First set up an immigrant primary school in our Sao Paulo. Considering that there are not many teachers who can speak Portuguese and Chinese at the same time, I have sent an immigration company to Macau to recruit teachers who can speak Portuguese and Chinese.

  In the future, we will build our own primary and secondary education system in every immigration point, let’s start with you! "

   "Brother, do you mean to let me preside over the construction of a primary school for our Chinese?"

  Yang Kun looked very happy.

   But Fang Lang looked at him, and when he heard him say that we are Chinese, he always felt a sense of detachment.

  But he still suppressed it, after all, if he said it, it might hurt Yang Kun's heart.

   "That's right, do you have the confidence to complete this task?"

  Yang Kun's face was flushed, and he said excitedly:

   "Brother, leave it to me, don't worry! Guaranteed to complete the task.

  Go back and resign tomorrow. "

   After hearing what Yang Kun said, my aunt was a little worried and said:

   "Hey! You kid, don't be so impulsive."

  Yang Zong smiled all over his face, and seemed a little relieved. Although his child's appearance did not follow him, his heart was still with him.

  Raised his hand to stop his aunt and said:

   "This is working for the future of all Chinese, and it is more meaningful than working in the primary school in the town. We must support it."

   Seeing her man expressed support, and my aunt couldn't say much.

  The old man stood up and answered:

   "Langer's idea is good. Assuming our own primary and secondary education system in the immigration point, it is necessary to improve the cultural level of our Chinese.

  Old man, I am all for it.

  However, I also want to make two requests. "

  Fang Lang didn't expect that the old man would take the initiative to speak at this time, so he quickly turned around and came to the old man's side, supported the old man's arm and said:

   "If you have any requirements, please tell me!"

  The old man is a straightforward person, facing his family, he is not polite, and said directly:

  “First of all, the education of Chinese immigrants must not abandon the education of Chinese culture, and cannot make future Chinese, like some Chinese, unable to write Chinese characters or speak Chinese.

  The Chinese educated in this way cannot be regarded as Chinese at all. "

  For the old man's request, Fang Lang raised his hands, and this was originally his plan.

   Seeing the old man looking at him with scorching eyes, Fang Lang nodded quickly and said:

   "No problem, Grandpa, it was in line with my plan."

  Hearing Fang Lang's affirmative answer, the old man nodded in satisfaction.

   "Second point, all Chinese must learn our own history, and have a clear understanding of where we Brazilian Chinese come from. In the future, we must not forget our roots, we must know where our roots are!"

   Fang Lang has also considered this point for a long time. To cultivate the national consciousness of overseas Chinese, it is necessary for all overseas Chinese to understand the history of Chinese civilization for five thousand years.

   Only by understanding what an excellent nation the Chinese are and what a brilliant civilization they have created, can they cultivate a sense of national pride and honor for the Chinese.

  Only in the heart can I identify with my Chinese identity and be proud of it.

   Instead of being completely reduced to a banana man with a yellow skin and a white heart.

  As the old saying goes, an old family is like a treasure. The ancients never deceived me.

  Although Fang Lang had already considered these things, it did not prevent Fang Lang from admiring the old man's foresight.

  After all, Fang Lang has such a vision and idea through the fog of history with the perspective of a later generation.

"Grandpa, don't worry! I have already asked the immigration company to search for these historical books in my hometown. At that time, I will hire a few masters in history to come to Brazil and write a book about the five thousand years of Chinese civilization for us." history textbooks.

  Let all Chinese and even Brazilians understand the splendid historical civilization that we Chinese have. "

  When the old man heard his grandson say that he had already been doing this work, a gratified smile appeared on his face.

  It seems that my grandson and I have thought of being together, and I feel very relieved.

   "Good, good, good!"

   Even after saying three good words, he didn't forget to slap Fang Fanglang's arms vigorously a few times.

   "Third, to cultivate the martial spirit of our Chinese children, I know there is capoeira in Brazil and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, don't we Chinese have it?

  Our Chinese martial arts also have a long history, no worse than the fighting skills of these foreigners.

  Although I only know a few tricks, I am sure that they will not be able to find North. "

  Fang Lang didn't expect that the third request of the old man turned out to be this. Originally, according to Fang Lang's plan, he planned to set up physical education classes in schools to improve the physical fitness of the Chinese.

  Through military training to cultivate everyone's sense of teamwork and discipline, I didn't expect the old man to be more radical than himself.
