Education Questions; Questions on Education Policy

This is the parliamentary question time for questions to the Department of Education.

Members of the Commons may question the government on its education policy. Each member is limited to one question per week.

This House recognises that there is no appointed minister for education, and so opens the floor to all government ministers.

This House recognises Miniyoda008 as the Leader of the Opposition, and as such grants him the right to ask six questions per week.

The government may only be asked to answer one question at a time - no new questions may be submitted until the previous one has been answered. If the government does not answer, action may be taken by the speaker of the commons.

I therefore open this session with the following question:

Will the government please outline to this house its education policy?

The Boo Party recognises that many educational systems tend to be highly academic based. It is due to this that many students are leaving education with a lack of work-based skills and knowedge. We hope to remedy this in the future.

By introducing new, business-based initiatives. Which we have already started.

Would you not say that, in actual fact, for those not academically minded, perfectly good alternatives are already on offer, and that your actual work ought to be in encouraging those people who have no concern for academia to learn, rather than foisting money upon an already-saturated landscape, with a surplus of apprenticeships, diplomas, vocational courses and learning on the job; also, would you not say that you ought instead to keep the working education system as is, as it is unnecessary to provide education for dropouts, since there are always a large number of low-qualification jobs available which are necessary for the economy?

Order, order. I'd like to remind the right honourable gentleman that a full stop is a perfectly good form of punctuation.

Anyways, the question stands. Carry on.

I believe my answer to all of those questions is No.

Anyway.

While we're at it, let's legalise Euthanasia, after all, there's no point in treating people who are terminally ill is there?

It's the same difference, Dear Minister, and you are detrivialising the matter.

Following that, could we actually have some sort of proper non-attack laid out, rather than a purposeful misunderstanding of what I said?

In other words, do you not believe that educating everybody in order that they go through university is often a waste of time and in fact damaging to the country?

Yes. That's why we introduced the vocational course bill to provide education for those who want to go into industry as well as for those who go to uni with the prospect of getting a degree and getting a job at the end.

So being a locksmith or tailor etc. is being in industry?
