Bill: PPS-006: Estabelecimento de um sistema robusto de educação (Establishment of a Robust Education System)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Partido do Progresso Social (PPS)
Status[?]: defeated
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: October 4546
Description[?]:
| For too long, our nation's children have not had access to a streamlined, quality education service. We hope to change that. The decentralized approach to education has resulted in unnecessary bureaucracy and left some schools vastly underfunded. According to statistics released by the Boruska National Institute, as much as 15% of our nation's schools are using textbooks from nearly a century ago. The PPS believes it is high time to develop a robust education system, to guarantee future generations of our nation's children access to high quality education from pre-school to college.
