Deregulate the School System

Here are some examples how overregulation leads to bad education:

• Private or specialized schools are closed in the name of equity. Children get automatically assigned to schools. This eliminates competition - schools have no incentive to improve.

• Simplify / deregulate funding: Funding is often super complex; cost for personnel, utilities, and infrastructure are paid by different entities (state for personnel, municipality for utilities, etc). Thus, schools can’t decide whether to allocate more funds into innovative technology, more teachers, or something else. This creates inefficiency and bureaucracy

• Personnel allocation is too rigid. Teachers are in class only 35% of their total working hours. It’s possible to automate overhead like grading and many administrative tasks - but there is no incentive to do so because they aren’t allowed to reallocate time.
