Nothing in the act actually forces member nations to set up elementary schools? Definitely a good idea for a proposal, though.

Thanks and edited.

What if a child is located in a region where there is no benefit from an education? (If he knows that he's going to grow up to be a farmer, knowing how to factor monomials is not necessary.)
Suppose the child lives on a farm and his family are sustinance farmers. If his parents need him to help work the land, will you force him to go to school?
The general idea is good, but there are too many special circumstances that must be worked out.

We look forward to the future generation of Sherlock Holmes fans that surely these 'elementary' schools shall produce. Given the complete lack of definition of the term in this proposal we must assume that is what the author meant and shall immediately begin ordering extra copies of the films and novels in order to comply with this legislation.

That is the purpose of having an knowledge-based economy. It is to allow labour to slow down and become less important drivers of economic growth. It is to seek to have a higher technology, so that even farmers, can enjoy the privilege of using a machine to allow their work to be easier. This act seek to change a labour-based economy into a knowledge-based economy. The ability to create, acquire, disseminate and appky knowledge will become the key to sustaining the economic growth. The importance of education and knowledge is far important than labour, in my opinion though

Thanks, added in "This Act seeks to allow the traditional labour-based economy to convert towards a brighter future, a knowledge-based economy"

What makes this any different than Promotion of Basic Education, Resolution #80?
Everything you know about me is wrong. Or a rumor. Something like that.

Resolution 80 is students have the rights for access for education (voluntary)
My Elementary School Act is compulsory education

OK then, how does this proposal not run afoul of the Contradiction rule?

Does that imply that I would have to repeal Resolution 80 before this can even be considered?

Yes, unless you can convince me that there is no Contradiction or Duplication or anything else that would render this proposal illegal.
