Support choice within public schools
Greens support EDUCATIONAL DIVERSITY. We hold no dogma absolute, continually striving for truth in the realm of ideas. We view learning as a lifelong process to which all people have
an equal right.
Education starts with CHOICE and within public education we believe in broad choices. “Magnet schools,” “Site-based Management,” “Schools within Schools,” alternative models and parental involvement are ways in which elementary
education can be changed to make a real difference in the lives of our children.
We call for equitable state and national funding of school education and the creation of schools controlled by parent-teacher governing
bodies.
We recognize the viable alternative of HOME-BASED EDUCATION.
We support a host of innovative and critical educational efforts, such as bi-lingual education, continuing education, and job retraining.
