| Message | Mr Speaker, this could perhaps be one of the worst bills that the NSP has ever introduced. Can it really be that they wish to see our country uneducated, unskilled and uncompetitive, for that is what this bill will achieve? Mr Speaker, the NSP should be ashamed of this legislation. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, under the cruel aegis of the CLP, parents across the country have been forced to pay for education without the benefit of state aid. Not even contraceptives are freely available any longer-- the poor suffer enormously. Although some private charities are available to alleviate the worst suffering brought on by the lunatic policies of the restoration government, no charity, not even the Lusk Foundation, has enough money to provide free education to the millions of dying pauperized children. Institutions like the Lutheran Internet Academy provide some free education, but because there is no way for everyone to access the Internet with the abolition of public libraries, not everyone has access even to that. We beg the members of this house to let this cup pass from parents. |

| Message | Rt Hon William Weston MP, Education Secretary: Mr Speaker, are the members of the NSP living in the same country as us? We think not for the picture that they paint is more reminiscent of the country that they presided over many years ago. In those days, parents kept very little of their own money for it went straight out of their paypacket and into government coffers. Taxes were stretched beyond breaking point with very little benefit. Schools could not afford new textbooks, refurbishment was non-existent, teachers were badly paid leading to constant industrial action, exam grades were lacking, and, most importantly, parents had little or no choice in where to send their children. Now, because of the reforms introduced by our party and the GKF, the competition between schools means that the very best education is provided. Schools rely on support and so the learning environment is of a terrific quality, the best teachers are sought to get the best results out of children. Vocational education is widely available for the less academic children, taught by specialists in their fields. This is a far cry from the "millions of pauperized children" that the NSP claim to have seen. They give an example of their own LIA that provides free education. Mr Speaker, that is to be commended. One can also look at the University of Bekenial under the leadership of Marquess Aguero which has done much outreach work, giving money to primary and secondary schools. Viscount Harrison, the Headteacher of Throne and Altar High School, has ensured that all of his pupils will attend free of charge, due to links that he has made with local businesses, which sponsor his school. Again, Mr Speaker, Viscount Pratt, the CEO of Corkstown Educational Federation has ensured that parents earning under a certain threshold will not have to pay due to the revenues that they bring in through outreach. Mr Speaker, if the NSP wish to debate education further, we would be delighted to, because the results speak for themselves. |
