A straightforward translation. 'Education' is the same in all translations. 'Decree' is translated with some variation between the different languages. Note also that 'number' is translated somewhat differently in each language.
Of the four versions, only the Mainland Chinese version places the ordinal before the noun. The others place it after 'educational decree' as in English.
