Bill: Prevention of Privatisation of Education Act 3989
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberal Socialist 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: April 3990
Description[?]:
| Private schools are problematic for a number of reasons. For a start they create a nasty gap between state schooled children and private schooled children, such a gap and a gross difference in opportunity at such a young age is immoral. Parents shouldn't be allowed to simply buy a better education for their children, it keeps the same families in prominent positions for generations and keeps working class families at the bottom of the food chain. |

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.

| Message | Mr. Speaker; We find it expected that the leftists are attempting to ensure that the government has its finger deep within the education of our children. If it were up to us, education would be left entirely up to the parents, but as it stands, we will not see our current laws made worse by socialist tentacles. Prisco Bellucci Partito Monarchico |

| Message | Mr Speaker Your proposals for education are ridiculous. Under your proposed laws many students would be potentially deprived of a decent education, everyone is entitled to as equal an opportunity at the start of their lives as humanly possible. Jeremy Perez Leader of the LSP |

| Message | Mr. Speaker; It seems our friends in the LSP wish to lecture us about entitlement and equality. We believe everyone should be educated, but how that education is carried out should not be up to the government - we believe parents are entitled to that. Every family is a kingdom, not a clog in a machine. I would like to know, since the LSP is so adamant about removing choices for the average Gaduridan about who educates their children, just who the LSP intends to place in charge of education. One of their own? Will an LSP-approved teacher take over the classrooms? I fear for our future generations! Prisco Bellucci Partito Monarchico |

| Message | Mr Speaker We tire of the Monarchists rhetoric of "every family is a kingdom". Family is a very special thing often, but there are some families which are simply very flawed. We believe parents should be entitled to raising and teaching their children as much as they like, however we believe that all children should be under the same standard of education in schools so they can be given the fairest shot as life humanly possible. We don't believe a child should be condemned to not benefiting as much as others from education due to who they are born to. As for who we place in charge, we can promise the choices in who educates children will not be politically motivated, ideally we would prefer a diverse group of people with diverse views, so long as they teach to set standards.

| Message | Mr. Speaker; History has taught us that when governments attempt to enact one standard of education, across the board, it is never a HIGH standard of education. We are trying to combat low standards of education, and even uneducation, but we will be left with a new problem: the mass "half-education" of our children. It will not turn out as well as the LSP would like to think. The coming generations will not be trained to think, and will only have enough knowledge to be dangerous. As for Mr. Perez's comments that he is tired of the concept that "every family is a kingdom," and that "family is a very special thing," but only "often," we hope voters at home are listening and made aware of these words. The government that is being formed does not care about the dignity of the Gaduridan family, but the rule of party politics. With this in mind, can we really trust that the choice in educators will not be "politically motivated"? Prisco Bellucci Partito Monarchico |

| Message | Mr Speaker We would like to hear where the Monarchists get their statistics from. In fact I would like Mr Bellucci to place files with statistics on my desk by tomorrow morning! Our regulations will be sensible, and we would like to point out that the diverse gaps in education standards have been seen as a worrying issue by many Gaduridans for a long time now, and lack of regulation has lead to much inadequacy in the sector of late. Part of the large reason our party has had a surge of success in recent years is due to our education policies. Jeremy Perez Leader of the LSP |

| Message | Mr. Speaker; When I speak of statistics, I will gladly send Mr. Perez my statistics. What I am speaking about is history and precedent. I'll gladly hold discussions with Mr. Perez in his office on that. Prisco Bellucci Partito Monarchico |

| Message | Mr Speaker I will look forward to reading your sources. Just because something has happened in the past means not that it will happen again. True it may be an indicator, but our plans are different than those of the past. It wasn't the fact there was universal policies across nations that were their downfall, it's WHAT they implemented, and that is different than what we shall do. Jeremy Perez Leader of the LSP |
