Bill: College Education
Details
Submitted by[?]: Party Royale
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 2402
Description[?]:
Education in Aloria is already provided free for children. As a public good with proven and irrefutable positive effects on our nation's human capital, it is the government's responsibility to increase access to education for all. By subsidizing some of the college costs of our students, we will ensure that higher education is not just for the wealthy, and that bright, deserving students from all socioeconomic backgrounds will have the opportunity to advance to the top of society. |

Message | Higher education is HIGHER. We give all necessary education and now we can just let higher education be, for it is only needed for specialization, which is not the government's part. |
Date | 04:17:27, May 11, 2007 CET | From | Moderate Libertarian Party (NoCoalition) | To | Debating the College Education |
Message | It's never enough! Free K-12 schooling and university assistance for those from a poor background we have already. Now free tuition for all?! Oh great. Now everyone will go to college, even those who have no purpose or business being there, and the standards for serious students drop lower-and-lower. A novel idea but the reality is absurd. We're not paying higher taxes to put low-achieving, apathetic dummies through post-secondary school! |
