William's Engagement Ceremony

Arthur discovered that almost all the localized colonies shared one common flaw: their education and medical care lagged behind.

But on closer thought, this was also an unavoidable problem in the localization process.

After all, medical care and education absolutely could not be built up in a short time. They required the local governments to spend enormous amounts of money, manpower, material resources, and time.

At present, the regions throughout Australasia with relatively good education and medical care were basically Australia and New Zealand. The other regions could only be described as average, or even slightly backward.

There was nothing that could be done about it. The whole of Australasia had only fifty universities, forty-three of which were located in Australia and New Zealand.

The remaining seven universities were spread among New Guinea, Timor, Sulawesi, Java, Sumatra, and the many colonies made up of archipelagos and islands. This was enough to prove the enormous gap in education between the various regions.

Such a vast gap could not be made up in a short time unless Arthur was willing to use all his money, manpower, and material resources to fill it.

The problem was that developing the government also required a great deal of Arthur's energy and effort. Naturally, it was impossible for him to devote all his attention to education in the colonies.

After all, the homeland was the most important. This was also the foundation for Australasia's great development.

In view of this situation, Arthur could only say that the current conditions of each colony should be taken into consideration as much as possible during educational development, while striving to have the Kingdom Government provide a certain amount of support to each State Government.

Beyond that, more depended on the efforts of the individual states, such as the development
