Bill: Competitive Education Act - Charter Schools
Details
Submitted by[?]: Radical Party
Status[?]: passed
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: January 2607
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 |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
