On Standardized Testing and Government Wardships

 

In lieu of the recent allegations of unfair advantage and inequity in the standardized testing requirement to participate in the bureaucracy of the Kingdom of Balian, the Royal Balianese Academy hereinafter known as the RBA, by and through counsel of His Majesty, Alexander I and his Royal Duana, hereby abolish the standardized testing system and introduce a Government Wardship and Employment initiative for the citizens of Balian. 

 

As stated in the previous missive when standardized tests were introduced, public participation is extremely imperative and beneficial in the Balian political and social ecosystem. It is unfortunate that the commoners within Balian have not been able to take part in this fundamental and beautiful right enshrined for every Balianese Citizen. The standardized testing initiative, initially believed to be an experiment, was intended to be a solution to provide a meritocratic approach to finding potential scholars and wards for His Majesty’s government. However, the exams merely distinguished the clear cut divide between the education of the Nobility and the Commoners. 

 

Thus, as of the publishing of this missive, the Royal Balianese Academy is hereby abolishing the standardized testing initiative and, in conjunction with the Royal Duana, shall promote a more holistic approach to the education of the youth of Balian. The Government Wardship initiative shall consist of three main objectives: The education of the youth of Balian regardless of social class, the social mobility of the commoners, and the scouting for the next generation of leaders who will serve at the pleasure of His Majesty, Alexander I. 

 

In order to participate in the Government Wardship initiative, the Citizens of Balian must fill out the census. The citizen may express their interest in working for the government and specify a certain department. Once they have done so, they shall be contacted by a member of the Royal Duana for an interview.
