Bill: Education Reform - PLP
Details
Submitted by[?]: Progressive Liberal Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill proposes to change the allocation of funds in the budget. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 4249
Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker We think the government should privatize education partly. The government should have a share of 51%. This will lower costs, but still gives the government as biggest share holder the chance to regulate education. Education should stay free for everyone though. We propose the following: *We will add another 3B to the education budget this to build more schools, to recruit more teachers and to give those teachers extra courses to do their job *A class will be attended by not more then 15 students, so a teacher can give his time to every student *We want to introduce a new way of giving education by giving children at the age of 14 the option to choose a lot of courses. There will be mandatory courses as mathematics, English, History, Biology etc. But they should be deciding their selves if they for example want to add more languages to their courses or for example want a course "theateral drama". *Further we also want to introduce a new course that will learn children how to manage their money, how to fill in taxpapers, what sort of taxes there are, what they need to know when they buy a house, etc *We will introduce charter schools nationwide for children with a learning disability/disorder. This to give them the right sort of education they need. All payed by the government. |
