Bill: Education Reforms.xls
Details
Submitted by[?]: Vanuku Corporate Alliance
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: July 2509
Description[?]:
| We propose to privatize our system of education. Naturally this will require the shuttering of religious schools, as they operate outside the world of profit, but we think that a small part of a grand plan to have an efficient, privately run education enterprise in our great nation. A voucher system is included in the plan to make sure the extremely poor and unfortunate have a chance at schooling. We find this an acceptable compromise to total privatization. |
