Ministry of Education

Day 320, 16:16 • Published in Ireland Ireland

Daoine na hÉireann,

Yesterday an idea was put before the congress by the Irish Union Party's Theus Jackus concerning a Ministry of Education. While this has received widespread support on the forums, from two party leaders (myself and Merolk) and Ireland First's most vocal congressman, Final Destiny, the president would appear to need some convinvcing on the matter. Therefore I am going to put the idea before the general public and get your reaction. If it is positive then it will hopefully persuade 5n4keyes and the congress to support the idea and if not then the idea would be unfeasable anyway.

The idea is to set up an Irish University (credit to pato9 for the original idea). It would teach eIrish citizens many different subjects. From political theory to eRepublik economics. From foreign languages to eRepublik history.

Courses would be taught for free and any citizen could sign up. The University would be run by the Ministry of Education and its lecturers would be resoected individuals within the eIreland community.

Already myself and Final Destiny have offered our services to teaching, political theory and International Relations + The basics of V1 respectively.

So what do the people of eIreland think?

Go raibh míle maith agaibh as bhur éisteacht,

would it need any funding?

I personally do like the idea, however it will take alot of effort and need people to want to do it, in a smaller country we may not have a huge uptake, tho this shouldnt put anyone off the idea.

However I did have a good suggestion, one which spans outside of our country! why not update the Wiki? I suggested this yesterday in IRC, and people said oh the wiki isnt very good. The Wiki is what you put into it!

I would like to have a ministry of Education, but also see that ministry benefit the world via the Wiki!

\"The Wiki is what you put into it!\"

Yep, I am just waiting for my account to be activated on there so i can start to work on it.

I\'ve been updating the wiki steadily. Would love some help. Though this is seperate from the Wiki and is a great idea. I\'m 100% behind this after we have a set framework of course.

An excellent idea! A lot of work is needed though

Would this not be better suited in the forums ?

\"Would this not be better suited in the forums ?\"

It is on the forums. Igor was just getting impatient with our President not commenting in the thread in Congress.

great idea

@Final Destiny: That is true.

Also when the idea of a University was first suggested by pato9 there was an awful lot of interest so numbers should not be a problem.

Theus Jackus Day 321, 11:14

Wait for constituion and V1 before setting it up.

pato9 Day 321, 16:31
