| Message | The PN would support Article Two in a separate proposal if this Bill fails. |

| Message | We would prefer a mixed education system. We sympathise with the intentions of Article 1 but we feel it goes a little too far in that it inevitably aims to regulate private educational institutions out of existence. Regarding Article 2, it would be damaging in that it would standardise education accross the country. All children would be taught exactly the same things and this would be damaging for creativity and diversity. Furthermore, we fear that under the PN and PSN-led fascist government the study of Tukarali's cultural diversity would be removed and our history as an immigrant nation revised. |

| Message | Should there not be a common standard of teaching for maths, sciences, languages? I can understand why a different interpretation of the arts and humanities might be desirable, but surely not for the core subjects? The government cannot be fascist, in fact the PN have gone to great lengths to further democracy and represent the unrepresented, economic liberalism is the antithesis of fascism and the PN are a proud patriotic party and love this country, why would we attack our history, it makes no sense. More babbling from the MPT, you haven't changed much from the AEV after all! |

| Message | How will we evaluate the quality of education in our schools if each one them follows their own educational curriculum? We acknowledge that it is important to preserve regional differences, but, above all, we must value the national aggrandizement, based mainly on the formation of a homogeneous and well-defined identity. The bill does not prevent those differences of being worked in schools. In fact, these differences can be worked on an optional basis, as long as they do not offend good morals and right conducts. But it is more than necessary to unify basic and compulsory subjects. - Cândida Bergen PL National Assembly Leader |
