It's still school, and it's still free.

Oh, and I'm well acquainted with the system by the way.

Secondary school incorporates Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 of the National Curriculum (Year Seven to Year Eleven) and can also include sixth form.

It may include sixth form (16/17 to 18/19) but it doesn't have to.

It is free, absolutely. Doesn't mean it is school, it is in the name "sixth form college".

You wouldn't have contact with secret group of scientists. Only original minister of science and potential minister of science candidates have access to them, so no.

Ministry of Science and Religion Act
Author: Saul Califas [C] | Co-Sponsors:

The Aurentine Senate,

APOLOGISING in advance for its apologia,

RECONSIDERING the whole secular state thing in a non-binding sort of way,

DECIDING that the Minister of Science...wait, what? This coalition wants a Minister of Science? This wasn't covered by the Ministry of Research and Astronomy?

It's not the best law I've ever written, but I'm sort of constrained without repealing SSA.

Thanks for informing me on my education; it confused me that I ha(d/ve) to go to a different school when aged 16 (I was under the impression that despite it being a different building miles away, it is still the same school); glad you've cleared that up.

Sarcasm over. So some people in the UK (e.g. Britcan) call it school, and legally, they're still schools (prove otherwise).
+in Germany, the US, loads of other places.

Its still piracy even if legal

Pirates were NEVER raiders or criminals. Such a reputation is only the fruit of a smear campaign made by the Catholic Church against them, loyal and peaceful worshippers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

This is simply not true. They've suspended advertising and are majority worker owned. They're not about to get more profiteering. In fact, the current holders plan to make it more socialistic and less capitalistic.

Senator, I am pleased to see such strong support for the cause of environmental preservation from you. It is clearly time to legalize piracy.

Not last one but, as I said several times it is free in UK however it is a college education not school education.

Nope.
Kent.
Lincolnshire.
Berkshire.

And from FSC's perspective (US), it's high school. Also, what something is called doesn't define what it is under law (there's a secondary with College in its name round here, doesn't mean it's not a secondary school).

It is making a revenue and will make a revenue, when a buisness makes a change, it will always experience a dip. I have complete trust that it will be making more than enough revenue.

I'll propose a Ministry of Irreligion, at this point.
