Description[?]:
The education mending programme changes the status of all shools from state to private to increase quality of these schools. With this, the schools will be more efficient and will be able to react on the market sooner. The students will be able to study in the way that is best for them.

Message | Why would one privitize the educational system if the government still pays for all the bills? It is the IRPP's believe that education, both lower and higher, should be provided by the State, for it is the responcebility of that State to ensure its people get the level of education they deserve. |

Message | The education should not be provided by the state, only granted. The state education is under the managment of the state and is nationwide and therefore disables more individual programmes. Additionally, the private sector cares more about quality of the schools that the state and they do not create debt. Therefore, private education is much more individual, has higher standars and creates no debt. |

Message | The private sector only gives about making money, not the quality of the education nor about how induvidual students do in school. |
Date | 17:32:44, December 13, 2009 CET | From | Liberty and Solidarity | To | Debating the Education mending programme |
Message | Well, I cannot imagine anyone, who would pay money to the school that is not teaching well. It is natural parents want their children to have the best education possible and therefore, if private schools want to make money, they must improve school quality. Otherwise, they loose their customers (students). |
