Continued investment in education lead into bright new age for knowledge.
October 5735

Ever since its ascension into Crown Street back in 5727, the National Labour Party has strived to place education at the forefront of government policy. Already in 5727, the Tapihana government announced in its very first budget that education would receive additional investments to lead Luthori into a “new scientific bright age”.

Since then, it seems that Tapihana’s bold declaration back in 5727 seems to have manifested into something beneficial for the nation. In 5727, the government laid out its goals with the implementation of additional budget and investments into the Ministry of Education, first being the renovation of schools throughout the country to ensure equal access to facilities, furthermore, the Cabinet announced that childcare (education from 1 to 3 years old) was going to be completely free of charge for families throughout the country, with state-run nurseries being created after the successful nationalisation of numerous private-held nurseries.

Furthermore, the Tapihana Cabinet passed the Education Act 5728, which was targeted at reforming the education system from primary education to high school. The Education Act was focused on reforming the education programs used to teach students, placing a greater emphasis on personal reflection and teaching of democratic values from a young age.

“Luthori is a nation which prides itself in its formidable system of parliamentary democracy, yet to preserve our democratic system of governance, we need that the next generation of children be properly educated in the manner to preserve our democracy,” said then-Education Secretary Kim Kok.

The Education Act 5728 also included a greater emphasis on the education of scientific classes: mathematics, biology, physics and chemistry, each of those classes received additional time during the week, with the emphasis being placed on excellence and personal awakening.

“No Luthorian children should leave school without some basics in terms of mathematics and other scientific classes, as these are necessary to achieve personal awakening and those shall useful in our children’s future lives as adults.”

In light of this renewed focus on mathematics, the Education Act 5731 enforced the presence of mathematics throughout schooling, with the presence of mathematics rendered mandatory throughout high school. 

Furthermore, the Examination Act 5731 also laid out the most daring reform made to Luthori’s education system to date, with the A-level exams seeing the mathematics class being made mandatory, while it was merely an optional class before, students still has the option to carry on mathematics in an advanced levels for their A-level exam, but a 3-hour long class to carry on the mathematics program laid out in 9th grade and beyond will be mandatory for all students.

These reforms made Luthori’s education more focused towards excellence and allowing its students to learn more about themselves allowing the Luthorian primary education system to be attractive for foreign students to study in Luthori. A notable increase in foreign students' admission within Luthori’s primary education system has been noticed, notably from N&D, Dundorf, Mordusia and Beluzia.
