Ministry of Education opens doors to the pan-Dovani post-graduate continental studies institute 
1 September 5700



As the pan-Dovani movement across the continent is growing, and Dovani's influence and visibility are increasing, it has become evident that there is a need to produce a generation of educated politicians and civil servants, as well as foreigners from outside the continent, who wish to understand Dovani and its context.

With all of this in mind, the Bianjian Ministry of Education has presented today the College of Dovani, which is a newly established postgraduate institute, dedicated to the regional governance, law, economics, international relations, general diplomacy, as well as separate blocs offering cultural studies and customs, to help both Dovanians and foreigners better understand the continent. "Dovani is truly huge, and it is very possible that someone from, say, Dankuk, may have a harder time understanding what is happening in Yerrawa, and who the Yerrawans are in the first place", said the education minister Jingyi Pan. "And that is just one of the many things College is offering". The institute was inaugurated earlier today in the coastal city of Guihecen, in Bei Province.

The opening ceremony of the College, dubbed CDG (meaning College of Dovani, Guihecen), was attended by the Premier Niohon Dusan, as well as the Governor of the Bei Province, Lingxin Gurhas, and other senior national and provincial politicians. In his keynote speech, Premier has described CDG as a "lifetime project" of the current and previous governments, emphasising the goal of turning Bianjie into a regional, if not continental, education and science centre. At the same time, Dusan has said that the College will be a "major investment into the intellectual independence of Dovani", and "strengthen the intercontinental cooperation". Talking about the Guihecen, as a city chosen to be the head campus of the new institute, which is to be located in the Guihecen's historic district, the mayor of Guihecen, Aixingga Kerde, thanked the State Council for choosing his city, adding that it is a choice that will be beneficial for everyone. "This place has long been a crossroad of cultures, trade and, of course, our beautiful railways. Always in the shadow of Ambagašan, but not anymore", he said.

CDG admitted an inaugural cohort of 100 students selected through a competitive process across 40 countries around Dovani and the rest of the world, with places allocated to ensure a broad representation regionally, ethnically and socially. Students will receive academic scholarships funded by the Bianjian government in the first 5 years, but following that period, it is expected that private foundations and other Dovanian states could join in the funding of the College, and its subsequent expansion, as planned by the Bianjian Ministry of Education.
