| Message | Privatizing Education and pre education, but assisting for poor/lower income people who shouldn't have to suffer, as well as the same for higher education. Higher education is already paid for by the individual rather than the state in a loans way, so this wouldn't change anything in that regard, but would make universities more eager to boost the service they provide in a bid to attract more students and more custom. In order to make more money, they would need to be the best they could be. Sheila Birdsworth Shadow Education Secretary |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
