| Message | There's a reason we have regulation in the first place...they cannot do a perfectly fine job. Also, competing schools will create a shopping kind of enviroment where parents and children can play schools out against each others resulting in what the HPP would define as "pop-schools" with more bonuses and leisure than learning and a high level of proffesionalism. Thus we can't accept this bill and would advice other parties to redefine their stance on this as this will create a horrible education system in our brave and exellent intellectual and internationally competing nation. In fact we question where the proposers of this bill has gone to school? We can only think of the last time we allowed private schools and compare the names from these schools with the proposers. ;-) |
