Bill: Education Broadening Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Rainbow Party
Status[?]: passed
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: March 2203
Description[?]:
| Regulations act toward making private education identical mirrors of the public system, making the whole notion of private education somewhat more pointless and making it more difficult to use alternative methodologies of education. If such private schools give inferior or even identical education to free schools, the parents will choose the schools they don't have to pay for anyway. |

Old value:: The government allows private higher education but regulates it to meet nationally set standards.
Current: The government provides local governments with funding to operate higher educational institutions.
Proposed: The government allows public and private higher education institutions to coexist with self-regulation for those that are private.

Proposal[?] to change The education system.
Old value:: There is a free public education system and a small number of private schools, which are heavily regulated to ensure they teach adequate skills and information.
Current: Education is a matter of local governments.
Proposed: There is a free public education system alongside private schools.
