Message | Kodos Fairname issued a statement: Given the lack of sufficient funding for our public schools, we ought to allow private schools and charter schools as a stopgap measure. Although Yoko Kake Meguppātī supports public education, this is not feasible until we increase the education budget. This legislation also contains some other much needed measures. |
