Response to the challenges of modern times the up-to-date knowledge. Furthermore, we have to estimate the long years of experience, the knowledge acquired in the sweat of working. Also the specialists of the Settlers Islands should learn about new discoveries, inventions and techonologies, to more effectively do their job. Therefore I suggest, we should build a school, where specialists can perform scientific work, share their practical experiences also teach ordinary settlers and children.

How could this happen? For example a geologist, after having identified a certain number of mines, spend some time in school to learn more about the latest scientific achievements. Of course he has areas of interest, so after receiving his degree, he became specialist of one type of mine treasures. For example on the 1 hour research journey discover 1100 iron ore in a norther mine or could find quicker--perhaps should be more degree level, one for quantity, another for searching time and so on. The other mine treasures he finds like before.

As a high qualified man, he can teach in school too. On his field of expertise, e.g. iron ore mining, he can tell to miners how to cultivate a deeper mines. I.e. the settlers should care about this sort of knowledge to be able to all the units mined from that kind of mines or to build them at all.

Furthermore a school is capable hold training sessions, which ways e.g. pinewood foresters can learn the profession secrets of hardwood forestry, to be able to cultivate so nice oak woods too. If total demilitarization or at least the possibility to disarmament certain units will implemented than school also a good place to teach the dismissed soldiers, to help their back to civil society. (cf. the poll: Utilize unassigned military units) And if we are already in this topic, the school is indeed a worthy place to our great generals to increase their popularity during lectures, to gain even more support for the glorious crusades of Settler Islands.
