| Message | I have discussed this proposal in private with the LPR, and completely agree with their proposal. A clarification on the state involvement. The universities would pick the best students, based on their academic record and the results of their board exam, and if said student happens to be from a low income family, a state employee will review their case (Family income, economic history, etc). Said employee will determine the amount of subsidisation that the state should provide for the student. Obviously, this encourages students to focus on academic achievements, as only the highest achievers will, in turn, be awarded with entry to the most prestigious universities, without having to worry about how they would pay for it.

| Message | I believe this is a good step in the right direction, it will allow a more equal society where all can succeed to the best of their abilities. I believe Rutania should be a meritocracy and this is a step towards that goal. Mia Clarke Shadow Education Secretary |

| Message | May I ask why are the RLP, RRP, and DSPR are against this proposal? Opinions are important. It is easier for us to change the bills if we get feedback on it. Jackson Ruhr. Leader of the LDP. |
