| Message | No, no and a thousand times no. The local governments are mainly puppets of the local Satraps, which means they have qualification to craft any testing policies. It is our government's view that important matters like these should not be trusted in the hands of local authorities Ministry of Education and Culture Pich Anashir |

| Message | Yes, education is too vital not to be coordinated nationally in some way, but we fail to see how exactly leaving this coordination in the hands of employers solves the issue- in our eyes, it leaves it, at best, more or less the same. Having said that, we also feel it would be irresponsible to have a single, uncontested national standard in a country like Aldegar, where first-language use of Aldegarian is not necessarily a guarantee. Dr Louise Bretodeau-Razavi Shadow Minister for Education and Culture Aldegar of Nations (Communist Party of Aldegar) |
