Prolouge - The Upheaval
Minister Establishes Educational Reform
by Edmund Radkliph
With his appointment, the new minister, Sandy McKlean, issued new decrees regarding the
education of our youth.
"The time is coming, that the magical and the muggle world will clash. It is inevitable. The
best we can do is to prepare ourselves to be capable of adapting to a mixture of our
cultures." These are the words that Sandor, aka Sandy, used in the speech he gave
yesterday in the foyer of the Ministry of Magic. In conclusion to his speech, he gave a
description of his ideas as well as addressing the main problem he would run into in the
enacting of these decrees.
"The lessons that will become a required class are those such as english, math, sciences,
a foreign language and the fifth will be up to the teacher teaching it as long as it is approved by the
ministry. I know that these changes will be looked up on as abominal and inappropriate by the
older families of the wizarding world. There will be protests and my name will be smeared in the
very newspaper you are reading, but despite the threat of Lord Voldemort more and more
muggleborns are coming into existence and their families and friends are learning of the existence
of magic. Soon we will no longer be able to live in secrecy. I wish to make the transition easier on
our children and the following generations. I am starting this by teaching muggle subjects that also
have use in our world. The end of an era is nigh, as is the beginning of a new one. Let us embrace
it together, so that the wizarding world might emerge even stronger than it ever has before!"
