| Message | We do not find the SDP to hold any utility whatsoever. Diversified educational opportunities ensures competition instead of state education stagnation due to lack of concern about student loss. Besides this fact, strict state regulation of curriculum will be overly sufficient to ensure a quality education at these institutions as well as a small relief in education budgets given the mildly reduced student load. This way we can focus our educational system to smaller classes with closer personal instruction and larger teaching staffs in existing schools. |
