Bill: age of education bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Social Conservative 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 2075
Description[?]:
| A good education is essential for people and for our nation as a whole. We have a good school system, and we shouldn't allow students to drop out too early. Since education doesn't have to happen in school, but can also take place at home, and therefore logically also elsewhere (example: learning a profession from a professional in his workplace), there is no reason why we shouldn't raise the age of education. |

Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The age until which students, if education were to be compulsary, are required to be educated (limited between 16 and 21).
Old value:: 16
Current: 18
Proposed: 18

| Message | I'm kind of in favour of this, I'm just worried that 18 isn't the best age for everyone... |

| Message | That's why we definitely shouldn't stop allowing our youth to be educated at home and other places. I know that this helps a lot for teens who are fed up with school. |

| Message | for us this is about choice and work... to get the best opertunities we should be bringing businesses into the schools to showcase what they can offer students in the form of careers.. all jobs should be given a drive towards honourable and we should encourage not hinder people to stay at education for as long as possible under such moves as Aprentiships thus meaning people will have chosen their subject and career and business has the chance to mould young people as best to fit the industry.. by offering cash incentives |
