Propose a change

Education Act 2002

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

93 Temporary exceptions for individual pupils

(1) Regulations may enable the head teacher of a maintained school ..., in such cases or circumstances and subject to such conditions as may be prescribed, to direct in respect of a registered pupil at the school that, for such period as may be specified in the direction (the “operative period” of the direction), the National Curriculum for England— (a) shall not apply, or (b) shall apply with such modifications as may be specified in the direction. (2) The conditions prescribed by the regulations shall, in particular, limit the operative period that may be specified in a direction to a maximum period specified in the regulations. (3) Any maximum period specified (whether in relation to directions given under the regulations or in relation to directions given under the regulations in circumstances specified in the regulations) shall be either— (a) a fixed period not exceeding six months, or (b) a period determinable (in such manner as may be specified in the regulations) not later than six months from its beginning. (4) Any maximum period so specified may, without prejudice to the generality of section 210(7) (which provides that regulations under this Act may make different provision for different cases or circumstances etc.), differ according to whether or not the direction in question is given in respect of a period beginning— (a) immediately after the end of the operative period of a previous direction, or (b) within such period after the end of the operative period of a previous direction as may be specified in the regulations. (5) The regulations may enable the head teacher of a maintained school ..., in such cases or circumstances and subject to such conditions as may be prescribed— (a) to revoke any direction given by him under the regulations, and (b) to vary such a direction, except so as to extend its operative period. (6) Before making any regulations under this section, the Secretary of State shall consult with any persons with whom consultation appears to him to be desirable.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
