    ITT no one actually read the article. It seems to just put private institution resources under government education institute - basically all of Europe already does that right?

      the education agency is still a state-run organisation, but separate from any political institutions in order to not color the education plan any particular way. that’s what they want to change.

      From what i get from English wikipedia, it’s mainly preparing curricula for basic and secondary education, participating in the education field’s regulations, and acting as a central organizer for administrative things relating to education.

    Purra is always very happy to announce her cuts and has that smirk on her face.

    She’s getting off somehow BDSM style, nation wide.

    Or is it just resulting attention and munchausen syndrome?

      With a face like that, there’s a plausible explanation as to why she’s got a grudge against the whole world.
