After visiting the East African school at the First Town, Maximiliano I and his companion were deeply touched.
As top-tier grand nobles, both received royal court education since childhood, making it difficult for them to sink down and engage with such grassroots education models like the one in East Africa.
Moreover, as a colony, East Africa had no need to hide anything from them; what they witnessed was the most authentic daily life of East African schools.
The courses in East African schools were few, with only German and mathematics as the main subjects, followed by history and physical education.
The content was extremely simple, with a large amount of repetition across grade levels; students would, at most, master German reading and writing and simple arithmetic upon graduation.
The entire East African education system's knowledge content was even less than a third of Ernst's primary school level from a previous life (third-grade standard).
