Not sure if this is the most recent thread or whatever, but want to bump what gorilla has said and add my own comments. The education side of the game is a nightmare for alliances wanting to provide a regular large schedule of all the courses needed for the game. It takes a solid uninterrupted 15 minutes every morning and evening (30 mins total) on a PC with a quick connection to set off our schedule for example.
It is also really time-consuming, tedious and frustrating when you are a player with a larger set up and have thousands of staff needing trained. I'm not saying it should be 1 click, "train all in X" but having to open 4 rooms in your school, scroll down to the station, find the right staff, manually select 40 of them, go to the next school, and repeat that process 50+ times is just demoralising and off-putting, and it takes even longer if you are using alliance courses as you're only doing 10 at a time. I enjoy spending hours on MC doing various things, but taking a couple of hours just to send some staff on courses... that's too much for me.
Even small improvements that saved a little time would be welcome. Wouldn't mind if they were a premium feature.
