Bill: Education Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Libertarian Party
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: February 2051
Description[?]:
| As the private sector is the most efficient in providing services including educational services, workshops and schooling, this reform aims to quickly privatize all state-owned schools. For all socially disadvantaged children, government will provide free vouchers that allow them to visit private schools for free. This keeps the costs down and still allows children from poor families to receive high quaility education at private schools and universities. |

Old value:: There is a free public education system and a small number of private schools, which are heavily regulated to ensure they teach adequate skills and information.
Current: There is a free public education system alongside private schools.
Proposed: Education is private, but the government issues vouchers to pay for the schooling of disadvantaged children.
