| Message | Education is more then just learning the Three R's It is about learning how to become moral, productive upstanding citizens. Many feel that this is best taught through Geraja or similiar beliefs. Those who do not wish to persue this path, have the option of other schools or homeschooling. In addition the regulation of a Gerajan school would be a waste of resources as our government is founded on its belief system, and thus they would clearly not be persuing methods which conflict with the goals of the government. |

| Message | I guess our parties differ on these issues. We believe that a multicultural society needs a degree of secularisation of the school system. At the same time we stress that we have nothing against Geraja. |
