| Message | If this bill passes, it will be a landmark for our education system. Currently, education standards are low, and we are struggling to compete with other countries. This bill seeks to improve our education system by allowing competition, and enabling students from poorer backgrounds the opportunity to go to university. The current system imposed by previous governments is unfair, especially to working-class students who cannot afford to go to university, despite being academically gifted enough to do so. This bill is about fairness. If it passes, it will be a step forward for Aloria. Dorothea Fischer Education and Culture Minister |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
