| Message | We are aware that in general education is not a priority program item and that we have even been relatively inconsistent on certain measures, but the Party Board, after consultation with its members and internal votes, thought that this would be a series of measures likely to increase the quality of education in our schools. |

| Message | We will not condone any bill that allows corporal punishment. I agree with the inconstitency in the bill. I see no value in an Omnibus bill like this. Come back to us with concrete measures that will support our national students and their learning and we'll talk. Safi Khan - Joviant 56 Junior Education Minister |
| Date | 18:16:07, January 06, 2023 CET | From | Union Populaire | To | Debating the Education act |
| Message | After consulting the Management Board, it was decided to delete the article on corporal punishment. Nevertheless, we continue to believe that the rest of our proposals make sense for our education system. |
