What the petition asks
We want the Government to ban private schools, and for all students to be educated under the state school system, to remove the disparity of school services between public and private students.
Finland has been ranked as having one of the world's best education system, having abolished private schools that charge fees. Equality of education should help make skill/talent development a more important factor in obtaining influential roles in society, rather than financial background.
