| Message | We are steadfastly against tuition-based primary and secondary schools. They allow the children of the wealthy to get a better education than the children of the rest of Ikradonis and thus a leg up in life. We support charter schools, which are free, as the alternative if someone does not like the public school to which his/her child would be assigned. |

| Message | Colleagues This is the first step in privatizing a part of the educational system, we want to take it a step forward in the future. It is the right of the more wealthy parents to choose the best possible school for their children. It also creates a competition to offer the best quality possible, which can be a good thing for the quality of our public schools. Can we offer our colleagues of the SDP(LL) a contra-proposal on charter schools ? |

| Message | We would be happy to lessen regulations on charter schools, as we think that charter schools are the correct means to allow school choice. |
