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: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
