| Message | Bola Ikoku, Minister for Education and Culture: "While I know there's one party that loves the idea of local control over everything, that leads to a mishmash of standards as well as funding for important educational and cultural institutions that should be made available for all people. There shouldn't be a legal framework that allows for one region to provide free schools while the children in another region are forced to suffer because of their access to- or more importantly LACK of access to- money from home. Ensuring that we protect important knowledge and sites and making them open is the foundation for a well-educated society, and this legislation will go a long way towards making sure we can have such a fair society." |
