| Message | This bill isn't to withdraw support for upper-class families, but it is a step towards reducing the state's expenditure. We know that opportunity equality is very important, but if citizens have the capability to afford college tuition themselves then they don't need government aid.

| Message | The education of all Likatonans is a very important subject, the nation requires intelligent people rather than those who know only basic skills, as such the government tuition allows for Likatonian's to continue growing mentally while not having to worry about school prices hurting them thusly allowing for both growth in the mind and ability to thrive. |

| Message | We understand your positions, but if the upper classes have the ability to afford tuition then they don't need the government's support. Now, regardong the DTD's positions. We are not changing the actual education policy, all citizens will continue to have access to the same quality of higher education in order to develop with the same opportunities. What we are saying is thay there are people who can actually affors tuition and that the government should provide aid for those who can't pay to develop the same way others can Jacqueline Rosenfeld House Party Leader |
