Press Release

In terms of public participation in the bill, the majority of the respondents assert that the process was unsatisfactory (84%) and mainly designed to rubber-stamp rather than influence the bill. Overall, 44% said that the process was to inform the public on what had already been decided; 42% said they had never seen or heard any consultations about the proposed bill. Only 13% say the process was to allow citizens to be heard and influence items on the bill.

The most significant challenge of the competency-based curriculum, according to three out of four citizens (74%), is the cost.
