Message | Honourable Members of the Senate, I am pleased to propose the Education Reform Act before you all. Solentia is in need of a publicly funded educational system that is able to be accountable to the government, and by extension, the people. Education that is left in the hands of private corporations can never foster independent and critical growth in our youth. Therefore, I urge the Senate to consider this bill as a step forward in investing in our children, who are Solentia's future. United Together, Senator Diane Johnson Education and Culture Candidate Communist Party of Solentia |
