| Message | It is our intellectuals, not our workers, that will decide whether Kirlawa becomes advanced or not. |

| Message | Really? We thought that progress came through work, not through sitting around discussing the dramatic context of novels. |

| Message | Progress comes through both intellectual and conventional labour. It is true that we need to nurture our intellectuals, but we believe that the public schools need to cater to the majority of students who will be entering the conventional workforce. The current public school system caters for both intellectuals and those who are planning to enter the conventional workforce. It is true that the focus is on those entering the conventional workforce, but intellectuals are not neglected. Their needs are better met at higher education. As many students do not pursue higher education, their needs need to be met at school. |

| Message | I must say that this bill promotes a non-elitist value and is, therefore, a bill I can support. |
