| Message | The NLP would only agree with Article 6. In reference to articles 4 and 5, we strongly suggest that the URP rethinks their views on education. Malivia is reknowned throughout Terra as having one of, if not the best education systems ever. A strong education is the basis to a perfect society and economy. Pre-school ecuation along with Libraries are key to the establishment of a successful education system. |
