| Message | We think this is too restricting too early |
| Date | 21:03:28, April 21, 2010 CET | From | Genuine Progress Alliance | To | Debating the New education Proposal |
| Message | I think this is something that has to be debated further. 1. If they are asked to choose among the courses or specializations, what makes that different from higher education? 2. "There shall be no acceleration due to there only being two classes." On the part of the student, doesn't that waste money and time since he only has two classes for one whole year? 3. Maybe we should consider having middle schools instead, and then having trade classes in high school. (OOC: Sorry, I just had to provide that input after reading the structure of the education system in Japan. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_japan#Structure) |

| Message | We have changed our vote to abstain. We ask that we debate this further. As we pointed out before the proposed education plan seams to be focusing on trade schools for the last 2 years, making no difference from the compulsory education from higher education. We propose putting in middle schools which will take care of the next two years, like the GPA said. |
