Bill: Providing Choice in Education II - Higher education
Details
Submitted by[?]: Adam Smith Party
Status[?]: passed
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 2091
Description[?]:
| The current education laws are such that there is no opportunity for people that mistrust an ever extensive and pervasive government influence in their lives to attend a university, college or institute of higher education that is free of such influence. The continual interference of the administration in the education of our people is unacceptable. As such it is proposed that we provide freedom of choice to our people and allow them to decide if a university, college or institute of higher education meets their standards or not. This is not and should not be a matter for government decision. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The regulation of higher education.
Old value:: The government allows private higher education but regulates it to meet nationally set standards.
Current: The government allows private higher education but regulates it to meet nationally set standards.
Proposed: The government allows public and private higher education institutions to coexist with self-regulation for those that are private.

| Message | Would the CNT be explicit about their reservations that cause them to say they "might consider" supporting this. There are strong reasons for removing government influence from some of our higher education institutions. If nothing else to provide employment opportunities for the intellectuals that oppose the government. An unopposed government leads innevitably to tirany, thus providing some space for opposition and for the formation of ideas and ideologies feree of government influence is essential for the democratic process. |
