HOUSE BILL: Return Education To the Regions Act (Passed - Sent to the VP/PPT)

[Pragmatic Conservative]

With Atlasia being such a diverse country both population and economically wise, I believe it is necessary that the regions be able to come up with their own curriculum and funding schedules to best suit their public educational needs. This bill however also ensures that students are still taking essential courses such as math, science, English ect. 

[Pragmatic Conservative]

I also like the bill, but I think this bill could address some specifics.

1. Which specific Core subjects must High schoolers take?
2. Would there be state tests?
3. What will be the pathway to graduation of high school?
4. Etc.

1.English, Math Science and History/Social Science (8-12), and one foreign language (8-10)

2.Would be up to the regions on whether to institute regional testing. Though their would be no requirement for it.

3. Would largely be decided by the regions, though High School students would be required to take a course in the following subject area:
English, Math Science and History/Social Science (8-12), and one foreign language (8-10)

I'd prefer there to be less requirements, and a course for the choice of the student. (In order for the student to get basic knowledge of the occupation they want to have)

Enduro, you have a pretty good point. Students should be able to take courses that are relevant to their career choice.

What subjects are you wanting me to drop from the required subjects, because Math and English are essential for almost any career path as well as a basic science course.  I am willing to cut back on the History/SS requirement, (but I still believe it is important that students learn something about their basic government structure, history of their country and world), and add in a requirement of a home economics
class or something. Anyways I would really like to reach a final agreement on this bill soon.

Amendment is friendly.

I reject the motion, and ask if we should continue spending as much money on education now that the regions will create the curriculums?

The regional governments will be responsible for creating their own funding model.
