PAX passes the Socialist Education Modernization Act (SEMA); Modernizing educational standards.

Education is the most valuable took, not just for a nation but for the proletariat. In Xsampa, the Xsampan Education System has been something that has constantly been considered alongside the Tsokling, the prize jewel of Xsampan Socialism. Domestically at least. However, like with all things, it inevitably grows stale. Unsuited to modern circumstances. This is where the Socialist Education Modernization Act comes into play. It looks to enact reforms to education up to higher education (as the SHARE Act from 5630s remains largely effective with it's tuition free higher education model for citizens).

So, what does SEMA do? First things first, updating the curriculum. Let's face it. The curriculum has largely been untouched since the days of the Planned Economy almost a century ago. Save for minor tweaks here and there. No more. The SEMA Act will change that. For starters, Economic Literacy will need to be introduced earlier. Instead of being a course students have near the end of schooling, it'll be introduced far earlier. Whether it be learning about co-operative management, civic accounting, Social Enterprises, or general information about how an individual can thrive in Market Socialism, Economic Literacy will be vital. Furthermore, practical skills are needed. Budgeting, first aid, basic maintenance, legal literacy and house management. These skills will be vital to any Xsampan, and the upcoming generation should not be excluded from sharing in prosperity. Alongside this, reexamining the Science Curriculum, looking to place a focus on the Green Energy Sector, and Public Health. Finally, and perhaps most controversially, reforming Political Literacy. For as long as the first Education Reforms occured under the Ladakh Administration in the 5400s, every Xsampan has learned every branch of socialism. From the most reformist to the most vanguardist. However, now, that'll change to include foreign systems. Students will be taught about capitalism (and it's failings), monarchism, social democracy, liberalism (and it's failings), and the various like. The argument is, every student should be knowledgeable on not just socialism, but on the alternatives to socialism. 

Next, these reforms look to cover the closing years of a students education, from when they reach the age of voting (16) to ending their Secondary Education career (18). As such, at 16, all students will be given a choice. Two choices. Either they can choose an Academic Pathway, to commit themselves to higher education, or they can choose the Vocational Pathway, which will ensure they're put on track for practical work programs or technical education. The goal is to ensure that all students are not pressured into having a "college or bust" mindset. This also comes with the benefit of ensuring the People's Committee of Educational Liberation can put students in a track for a career that they'll enjoy and thrive in.

These reforms are sure to be vital (albeit with controversial caveats) for the Xsampan Education System.
