| Message | How does abolishing higher education modernise education, or help our young adults progress? |
| Date | 23:49:15, April 02, 2014 CET | From | Parti Minarchiste | To | Debating the Modernising Our Education System |

| Date | 09:59:17, April 03, 2014 CET | From | Libyeral Nam Ekologiin (Liberal Ecology | To | Debating the Modernising Our Education System |
| Message | We cannot support Articles 1 & 2 and to be honest Article 3 carries very little weight one way or the other. |
| Date | 20:48:14, April 03, 2014 CET | From | Vrné Eslam (Green Theocracy) | To | Debating the Modernising Our Education System |
| Message | If the bill does not seek to abolish higher education, why does it leave it entirely in the hands of expensive private institutions, who will make it unaffordable for normal people? This bill destroys any hope of Jelbania having a modern education system. |

| Message | We believe that the presence of substantial fees encourages students to pick worthwhile courses which will ultimately lead to better value for money than cheap poor quality courses. We believe that costs will be driven down in a genuinely free market while maintaing quality - better than in an inefficient state ran system. |
| Date | 08:13:58, April 04, 2014 CET | From | Nrzi Knstatak (Democratic National) | To | Debating the Modernising Our Education System |
| Message | We believe children should proudly sing the anthem every morning. |

Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
