Bill: Compulsory Education Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Liberal Party
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 2108
Description[?]:
| We believe children of Aloria should recieve the best education they can. As there are no regulations on home - schooling it is dangerous to allow it, therefore we call for all education to take place at schools. We also believe that teenagers are ready to make the decision about what they want to do in life at the age of 16, not 18. If they do not wish to continue with education they should be able to say at this age. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
