Bill: Education Reform
Details
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 2450
Description[?]:
| The Communist Worker's Party of Trigunia believes in the education of the nation's youth and proposes that all Trigunian students learn of the struggle of the proletariat against their oppresses throughout history. The Trigunian school system requires a major reform to provide all citizens with an education in a public school system. To integrate and educate the population, the CWPT proposes that only one public school system shall exist. As schools are a vital part in every citizen's upbringing, the teachers must be allowed to shape the youth for their future life and corporal punishment is necessary in educating children and young adults. |
