WA Resolution: A Promotion of Basic Education

[Hockeynutville]

A Promotion of Basic Education
A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.

Category: Education and Creativity
Area of Effect: Educational
Proposed by: Sionis Prioratus


Description: The General Assembly,

Alarmed at the lack of a primary education for citizens in numerous member nations,

Recognizing that a lack of basic and untainted education prevents literacy, political freedoms, cosmopolitanism and social, political and scientific development,

Alternatively Recognizing that education is a stable catalyst for the growth of economic sectors in national economies that otherwise cannot benefit off scientific and intellectual innovation and astuteness,

Hereby Solemnly:

1. Declares that all citizens have the right to be educated, and thus be provided with the following capabilities through some sort of variation of edification:
• Comprehensive literacy skills and fluency in the official or popular language(s) of their nation;
• An understanding of basic arithmetical operations, geometrics and fundamental mathematics;
• Cognizance of financial mathematics and concepts, currency and economics that is appropriate to the economy of their nation;
• A familiarity with their nation’s governmental policies, processes, civics, rights and freedoms;
• A fair and impartial recollection of historical national and international events, politics and society;
• An accurate understanding of ecological life, nature and the environment;
• A fair and impartial familiarity to common cultural customs, beliefs and ideologies in their nation of residence and abroad;
• Knowledge of the geographical and/or astrographical characteristics of their surrounding environment, including natural, political and demographical characteristics;

2. Further requires that member nations attempt to provide citizens of a nation the aforementioned education in the fullest possible form for any citizen that is mentally incapable, neurologically undeveloped, or otherwise incapable of learning or retaining within reason the fundamental aspects to a basic education;

3. Establishes a division of the WA General Accounting Office (GAO), entitled the Global Initiative for Basic Education (GIBE) to oversee the creation, accuracy and continuance of a registrar that lists all member nations that are currently deemed to be genuinely unable to economically support the requirements of basic edification based on this document;

4. Declares that the WA General Accounting Office (GAO) shall allocate and provide funds at the request of any nation for the purposes of complying to this legislation and providing quality education, so long as the recipient nation:

(a) Uses the donation(s) exclusively to provide a basic education to citizens of their nation;
(b) Is deemed to be genuinely unable to economically support the requirements of basic education based on this document;

5. Encourages further legislation on the rights and education of the mentally and physical handicapped.

Education is not a right, it is a privilege.

Also, it is something that should be decided by individual nations, not the WA.

despite having a lot of standards to define a basic education, it does still leave a lot of lee-way for individual nations, ie. "accurate" whos perspective/bias would be used to determine accurate understanding, or a fair history? the indvidual nations legislative authority has that power. EDIT:there is an overseeing body but from what i can tell there just checking to see wether a nation can afford it. also, can send em to school one day a year and still say ur giving them a basic education, u can teach basic language skills and give em a booklet with the basics to everything else.
I liek this because it still leave room for individual nations to determine what type of education system they will use. i can use a trade or "fathered-in" system if i want. or the more popular "school system"
