Description[?]:
| Our future is being left behind. Too many children of the Republic, who attend non-government schools, are not being taught to the same standard as in our government schools. How are the next generation citizens expected to function with ease when none of them are on the same page. We need to establish a new national curriculum and it needs to apply to every young mind. We have far too many non-government schools, in which children are subject to archaic traditions and pernicious ideologies that threaten our very way of life. We need to take action to curb the amount of these schools. Not only that, but many children won't go to school today. Many children won't experience the educational environment that they deserve. Many children won't socialise with their peers. Many children are left behind at home, victims of the ideologies of their parents, so much so that they fail to meet the expectations of our ever vocationally-based society. The time to act is now, the future looks upon us, how will it be? Ethan Jansen, Candidate for the Ministry of Education and Culture, The Democratic Expansionist Party. |
