| Message | Without competition from public schools, private schools will be able to have complete control over price in the education market and will be able to set it quite high, possibly forcing the government to pay more. Would it not be more reasonable to make use of the existing public school system in order to regulate the market? Diane Johnson Education and Culture Minister Candidate Communist Party of Solentia |
