Bill: Education Reform - PLP
Details
Submitted by[?]: Progressive Liberal 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: May 4245
Description[?]:
| Higher Education also needs to be privatized. This takes away a huge cost for our government. That money we can use to give our students a loan. As they graduate and earn more then 27000 SOL, they can pay it back in 25 years, interest free. If they're earning less then nothing has be be payed back. We see singing the national anthem everyday as a violation of the freedom from our children and therefore propose to make them never sing the anthem. They should be learning the lyrics on school though. |

| Message | We totally agree with the article 1. However, our children must respect our national anthem and know it by heart so students should sing th national anthem at the start of school each day. As for the article 2, the Higher Education Tuition Policy should not be changed.. Only SUN can vote in favor of this!! |

| Message | We understand LRP about their stance on article 2. Though we want to remind them that we as a government have an obligation to help the weakest of our society. But when they graduate and make a lot of money it's because the government helped them. That money needs to come back so we can invest in people that needs that money. Forcing children to sing the national anthem everyday is a violation of their freedom. They need to now the anthem though and need to show respect to it. |

| Message | We agree with article 1 and this party has long standing opposition to forcing our children to sing the national anthem! |
| Date | 16:55:35, July 21, 2017 CET | From | Labour Republican Party(LRP) | To | Debating the Education Reform - PLP |
| Message | PLP when our students graduated, we should be proud that we contributed to it particularly to low-income families or poor. The only way that a graduate can refunds the government is that they come back to Solentia(If they get graduated abroad) and put their knowledges/skills to the service of the country. |
