Vote Against GA resolution Choice in Education
Resolution Analysis
The resolution attempts to promote parental rights and religious freedoms to create a positive obligation for states to guarantee choice in a child education. The parents' will, however, is not the sole purpose of schooling. Society has an interest in promoting education, both academic and civic. Public education also has the advantage of providing an environment for children to acquire necessary social skills and engage with society as a whole.
For these reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote against the resolution.
