Bill: Competitive Education Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Radical 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 2603
Description[?]:
| These reforms would both integrate the element of competition - which is surely paramount to education and self-improvement - with the notion of equality for all. Charter Schools provide private-school quality education on a non-profit basis, while a privatised public education system would provide the same high-quality performance while subsidising those that would otherwise be unable to go to private school. Sylvia Hirst Shadow Education and Culture Minister |
