Taxation - Income Tax At the moment we have various tiers of income tax, beginning with an amount which is excluded from taxation, then a stretch where tax is applied at a certain level, another where it is applied at a higher level, and so on. While there are obvious benefits to such a structure, in that it allows people on lower pay scales receive a higher portion…More…

Taxation Currently the taxation system is highly complex for individuals, and unnecessarily so. Corporations are similarly affected by complex, and superfluous, taxation laws which cause pointless delays and expense. This administrative overhead, and the confusion and distress it causes, can and should be disposed of at the earliest opportunity. The …More…

Education - Funding It is not possible for education to be provided with too much funding, however because of limits on funding which can be provided by the Treasury we will need a method to provide the initial finance to implement this new structure. The obvious method is to approach those who will benefit most from the changing curriculum - employers. Asking …More…

Education - Changing Structure Under the vertically tiered structure it has been mentioned several times that school buildings themselves will need to change. The approach to these buildings will also need to change. Rather than individual schools, competing for funding, students and staff the new approach will have to allow for co-operatives made up of several buildings in …More…

Education - A New Curriculum: Assessment Current assessment methods generally rely on regular general knowledge testing within subject areas. This demonstrates that a student can memorise facts, but shows nothing about whether or not they have developed any understanding or ability about the subject. Coursework is often a more effective measure of ability in certain subjects, but i…More…

Education - A New Curriculum: Advanced Skills Continuing on, and in parallel with the basic skills which all students should be taught there are then advanced skills. These should be related to careers, beginning with the most generally applicable skills in an area and developing as time goes on into more specialised, specific skills. This structuring will allow students to end their educa…More…

Education - A New Curriculum: Core Skills There are certain skills which, while not necessarily essential, should be considered useful to all students. These are not purely career-based skills but also include critical thinking, and even mundane tasks. All students should be trained in these skills at the appropriate time, in order to develop independence and the ability to make inform…More…

Education - A New Curriculum The current curriculum system is horizontally based. Subjects are assigned levels and ages at which they can be taught, regardless of the ability of the student. Someone designated as a lower or higher level is effectively fixed at that level in the subject, since they have only been educated in the skills relevant to that point. Moving up a se…More…

Education - Overview of the Current Situation One of the first judgments that can be set against a society is the way in which it treats, and educates, its children. Currently this is done in a method which encourages uniformity at all levels, encouraging children and adults in education to function at the level of the lowest common denominator and judging them only in relation to their pe…More…
