| Message | The Prime Minister: Mr Speaker, I have already spoken at length concerning the Health Partnership bill that I have introduced to parliament today. I must again reiterate, that this is an issue on which my party has changed position, looking for some sort of middle way, and I am proud to be leading my party down that path. Mr Speaker, we must recognise the enormous benefit that state education plays. It ensures that all children receive education from the age of 4 to 16, with further education being an option. It provides a balance of the subjects and approaches all of the key topics. Mr Speaker, this party recognises the benefits of state education. And yet, Mr Speaker, we should remove the controls from private schools. Again, some excellent schools existed when the state removed itself from the education world. The Lusk academies provided brilliant education, as did, for example, the Throne and Altar High School and the Corkstown Educational Federation. All of these schools catered to the needs of their children, and ensured that there was a top-class education provided. Mr Speaker, we need public and private to co-exist, without the government so heavily regulating the private sector. Parents can make their own choice based on what they believe to be best for their child. If a parent wants to send their child to a private school that specialises in sport, or the arts, or science and maths, whilst still providing the other subjects to a degree, why should they not be able to? Mr Speaker, we must entrust individuals to make the best choices for their families. Again, Mr Speaker, like with my Healthcare Partnership bill, the public sector shall still be overseen by central government. However, education shall be monitored and held accountable by local authorities, ensuring that schools are catering for the needs of the local area. Mr Speaker, I strongly hope that the house supports these measures. |
