Bill: Education Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Darnussian Reform Conservative Alliance
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 3052
Description[?]:
| There is no real advantage to having education as a federal matter. By allowing the provinces to regulate, they will compete with each other, increasing the quality of our nation's schools. As well, it is not correct to assume that everybody should be learning the same material. This allows provinces to have courses or programs that are specific to their region. |
