Date | 13:13:17, April 09, 2019 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Education Reform November 4557 |
Message | We would support the articles on higher education and preschools. |
Date | 13:22:08, April 09, 2019 CET | From | Kokuryū-shakai 黒龍社会 | To | Debating the Education Reform November 4557 |
Message | What about Article 3? The proposal for the National Curriculum. The Teikoku Kōmeitō must realize that having a separate curriculum damages the nation as a whole. If the youth is to be educated, then let them learn together. |
Date | 01:02:38, April 10, 2019 CET | From | Jiyū Party of Sekouo (自由党) | To | Debating the Education Reform November 4557 |
Message | We oppose. We see that the nationalist party seems to want to give the people of Sekowo, our citizens, the people we represent, less freedom and less choice in their lives. |
Date | 02:52:18, April 10, 2019 CET | From | Kokuryū-shakai 黒龍社会 | To | Debating the Education Reform November 4557 |
Message | This bill does exactly the opposite of what you say. It promotes Social Mobility by banning elitist Institutions and their curriculum within our fatherland. Now all of our people will be able to enjoy the same education, without the influence of money or privileges. |
Date | 03:09:36, April 10, 2019 CET | From | 立憲維新党 (Rikken Ishin-tō) | To | Debating the Education Reform November 4557 |
Message | Article 1 pulls Sekouo to the dark reaches of ultranationalism and xenophobia. These are archaic values that we must not return to. Regarding other articles, we would like a more lax approach, but would be interested in forming a compromise. |
Date | 11:32:22, April 10, 2019 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Education Reform November 4557 |
Message | In terms of Article 3 having a National Curriculum is only a positive as a general base, different places will have additional things they think important and some schools may find success not focusing on some parts of a MC as others. |
Date | 17:22:46, April 10, 2019 CET | From | Kokuryū-shakai 黒龍社会 | To | Debating the Education Reform November 4557 |
Message | The Kokuryū-shakai will agree to remove Article 1 and take a more "lax" approach on Article 4. We agree that different areas of the fatherland will have subjects they deem more useful or less important. However the Kokuryū-shakai would still like to make non-government schools follow some parts of the national curriculum. |
Date | 23:49:51, April 10, 2019 CET | From | 立憲維新党 (Rikken Ishin-tō) | To | Debating the Education Reform November 4557 |
Message | We would be willing to support this. |
