The way our system works right now is clearly not working at all. While on education we need to robustly teach economics particularly as it pertains to Bda because we have far too many people running around armed with a vote who do not seem to understand how much of a mess we are in now and for many generations to come.

This would be the only effective reform to get us back to the 19th century when education really mattered.

They had a revolving door of ministers. This administration has had one committed Minister.

They will commit to dedicated school buses? But they provided no maintenance to buses in the fleet during their time in office, so how will that work going forward?

The Minister has already spoken to discussions of forming an Education Authority, so Simons’s statement and platitudes ring hollow.

Try again.
