Free Education for Innovative Self-Management Act
Urgency: High
Author: Free South Califas (C)
Sponsors: Osea 767 (C), Slazliyka (C), Polvia (RG), Threlizdun (C), Kouralia (USLP), Aeken (LD)
The Aurentine Senate,
Recognising that all economies require a steady influx of innovation in order to be robust, efficient and competitive;
Defining workers as those who can or do perform (a) specific work task(s) which is/are directly productive from the perspective of their employer (hypothetically as necessary), that is, which generates an opportunity for more revenue and/or profit for a company interested in such things than that company would have without hiring them;
Lamenting that potentially inefficient and biased modes of communication in hierarchical firms may prevent or delay innovation due to the interests of a single firm or of (an) established officer(s) thereof being weighed as a concern alongside or instead of the interests of the whole nation or of the entire economy thereof;
Noting with resignation that the profit motive often requires labor to be compensated with less than the full value of its product in wages, which some workers may consider exploitative;
Appalled at the consequence that many workers are forced to choose between exploitative wages and poverty or worse,
Resolved to ameliorate this situation and establish a certain standard of dignity in economic affairs through voluntary means,
Clarifying that this Act may not be limited in its funding or effect by any previous act of the Senate,
Hereby establishes educational programs through which workers may improve skills relevant to increasing their earning potential through self-employment and collective self-management in democratic workplaces, including:
1. Free classes at existing, and/or new if necessary, physical and internet-based academic sites, primarily,
-A. drafting business plans and other introductory business classes,
-B. basic accounting,
-C. basic political economy,
-D. relevant basic mathematics,
-E. remedial mathematics, grammar, vocabulary, history and literature as necessary, and
-F. social skills, some tailored to individuals with general deficits/differences and some to the skills all businesspeople need i.e. in maintaining client relationships, pitching ideas to a producer, etc.;
-G. Establishing the Free Education Fund for Self-Directed Innovation (FEFSDI), with a mandate to create minimal departments and subdivisions within itself and delegate as necessary to complete its tasks, which shall be tasked with providing such classes listed above, devising such requirements as are necessary to prioritize helping those who can state a feasible goal, encouraging private charities and philanthropists to fund such classes on their own and make them freely available to the public, reporting on the outcome of such encouragement, and investigating potential improvements to the list of free classes above, which it may suggest to the Senate,
-H. Granting FEFSDI a starting budget of £2 billion per annum with a mandate to spend it as efficiently as possible in a good faith effort to deliver the highest quality, most empowering and broadest civic-minded education to the most workers according to the goals listed above,
2. Vouchers for necessary classes in academic fields directly relevant to the specific work being done or proposed by current or prospective self-employed individuals, whether as part of collectively owned and operated corporations or in isolation, which specifically relates to doing such work in a self-employed/self-managed context, for example the need to acquire basic mastery in medical notation so as to avoid hiring an expensive specialist,
-A. Establishing the Democratic Entrepeneur Education Voucher Organization (DEEVO), which shall be tasked with receiving and in good faith analysing requests for such vouchers, responding to them in a timely manner, and granting such vouchers as it considers necessary to further the business goals of self-employed individuals and democratically operated cooperative corporations, and which may upon each new unrelated request demand an explanation of how the worker plans to incorporate the class material into their business (plan),
-B. Granting DEEVO a starting budget of £2 billion per annum with a mandate to spend it as efficiently as possible in delivering the most necessary, most empowering and most socially useful classes to the workers who are most directly poised to incorporate them into a realistic plan for economic empowerment.
