MANIFESTO
EDUCATION
4. WIDE RANGING
POLICIES TO BRING FULFILMENT TO EVERY AREA OF EDUCATION
- Complete knowledge, experience and application
of Natural Law will be made available to the whole population
through existing training programmes, regular education and part-time
schooling. Tax benefit will be provided for companies that improve
training schemes and introduce the knowledge of Natural Law.
- Management training programmes based on the
knowledge of Natural Law for all levels of educational administration,
both state-run and private, to ensure the most effective and efficient
use of human resources.
- More time for on-the-job training and retraining,
with consciousness-based programmes that enable individuals to
become completely successful in their occupations. The government
will train and provide teachers of the science and technology
of consciousness in all levels of education and in engineering,
business and industry, health, police, military, and every other
area.
- Science based education will be raised to
Unified Field based education - education based on complete
knowledge and practical utilisation of the Unified Field of Natural
Law.
- A national apprenticeship programme, developed
by both sides of industry (management and workforce) together
with educational leaders, to prepare young people fully in the
latest technologies and skills of their chosen occupations.
- The current level of financial support for
every student who wishes to pursue higher education will be maintained.
Tax benefits or educational allowances will be given to families
who keep their children in education until at least 21 years of
age.
- The option of more years in higher education
and professional training for students, in order to develop their
full potential.
- We will promote the use of all aspects of
information technology to make study and learning more effective.
For example, the use of video conferencing will enable students
in different localities to have the advantage of studying with
leading experts, and the use of the Internet will enable the supply
of course material including text, pictorial, video and audio.
- We will also encourage educational approaches
that help every student learn to take maximum advantage of computers
and information technology with reference to their field of
study. This will include interactive study using the latest technology.
- In addition to recreational sports, the inclusion
in the primary and secondary school curriculum of regular periods
of enjoyable physical activity designed in such a way that they
involve no strain and accelerate the integration of mind and
body and promote perfect health.
- Establishing local centres of knowledge, where
parents can receive practical guidance in prevention- oriented
health care for their families. Parents will be trained in pulse
reading to help them maintain the good health of the whole family.
- Councils composed of leading experts in education,
business, and technology to propose educational policies to
education authorities in urban and rural areas.
- The Natural Law Party recognizes that women
have a unique and vital contribution to make to the welfare of
the nation as whole. An advisory council will be set up, composed
of both professional women and mothers at home, to structure courses
to enable women to develop their full creative potential.
- Research has shown that boys and girls perform
better in separate secondary schools. The Natural Law Party
therefore supports separate education for boys and girls up to
college level, to develop the full creative genius and unique
strengths of each group.
- Travel within Britain and travel abroad will
be a part of education, starting from 'A' level and continuing
through all levels of education, in order to give students experience
of different cultures, develop in them an appreciation of our
world family, and foster international patriotism. British
universities will be opened in other countries, so that students
can attend branches of their own universities in several countries
for two to three years.
Within one year, students who practised
Transcendental Meditation showed significant gains on a nationally
standardized test of basic skills. Education, 107 (1986): 49-54.
