Description[?]:
| ((OOC: Sorry for the lessend inactivity, I had a lot of tests last week)) Mr. speaker, Education in the hands of the private sector where special forms of education such as hosian schools, free schools and other kinds of schools exist is an improvement from the current government controlled system.

| Message | ((OOC: me too.)) Mr Speaker, While we prefer a system where all private schools, especially those who are operating on a for-profit basis, recieve public funding to provide education for all students, to ensure maximum freedom of choice for those who wouldn't be able to afford that otherwise due the sadistic socialist dogma of the previous government - we will obviously support this as a step in the right direction.

| Message | Mr Speaker, We obviously cannot support this attempt by the NEPP to return us to the dark days of one party rule. What shocks me, in particular, is that the NEPP, in its own words, is ' a Conservative and a Nationalist party'. What about the proposal is conservative? It represents the most radical shift in policy for years and should be roundly condemned! Simona Dimir Education and Culture Spokesperson Partidul Social Democrat |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We could support Article 2 on increasing the school leaving age to 18, but not the rest. Lucian Petrescu Chairman of the Hosian Democratic Union |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We thank the NEPP for the adjustment. Isn't it obvious how nothing makes the PSD and the UHD engaged as much as denying help to the most vulnerable and ensure only those who can afford get certain privileges. Sándor Magyar Parliamentary group leader DLP |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I'm not sure who the DLP think believes anything they say. Nobody does! They are a party which was led by the head of a Kalistani drug ring and supports sanctions against Kalistan for drug trafficking. They are the literal definition of hypocrites. Simona Dimir Education and Culture Spokesperson Partidul Social Democrat |
