literacy/education
To tackle the issue of illiteracy we will begin education reforms and reinforcement to keep Nicaragua/Honduras moving forward.
-All students will receive free education from ages six to eighteen (12 grades from primary to high school).
-Grades 7 and 11 will take a test to measure that education standards are met (
El Examen de los Niveles or EDLN, creative, huh? :lol
. Students must pass the test in grade seven to graduate middle school (they would retake it in grade 8 and then be held back if they fail it again) and must pass the test in grade 11 to graduate high school.
-Curriculum will be written to cover well above the material on EDLN, the test will cover the basics needed to operate in life (reading comprehension, literacy, basic math). Ideally, a C or D student is one who would pass EDLN and an A or B student would receive a grade of "exceeds" on it.
-Teachers will be required to attend at least four of the workshops ran throughout the year to keep up with modern teaching methods and other such things that will help make them better at their jobs. Teachers will also have a chance to voice conserns and give opinions and ideas at these workshops.
-All grades will be offered after school tutoring/day care ran by students and volunteers (volunteers interviewed beforehand...). The day care portion is more for younger students (obviously) but runs with the same hours as the tutoring services. This helps parents and students, ideally. Teachers will be payed extra for tutoring.
-More stuff will be added to this program next year; the goal is to improve literacy percentages and prepare future generations to move into an industrial society.
$1.5 billion
industrialization
Nicaragua and Honduras are some of the poorest countries in central America (THE poorest, actually
). So then, we will begin by paving streets and building phone lines to fix this. Workers will be payed a few dollars above minimum wage and given free lunch at the work sites. In addition we will pave the many unpaved airport runways and making other improvements to airports with the same worker benefits (on top of whatever is the norm for central American job benefits)
$2.2billion billion
Agricultural stuff
President Sirleaf of Liberia pointed out that you can't just focus on industrializing a country, as the food sources and other non-industrial markets will collapse behind the skyscrapers and such. So then, we will be updating our farming techniques so we can become self sufficient in this area. Ideally, this will free up people for industrial jobs while keeping food in high stocks. Farmers that follow this criteria will be offered 15% tax cuts:
-Paying all workers minimum wage (at least) and offering them health care (a special board of experts in this field will be apointed to decide the specifics for what must be offered to workers in terms of health care)
-Updating to modern farming methods and putting 50% of their output towards good crops (economical and healthy, like potatoes and rice as well as bannanas and other common central American crops).
$1.5 billion
Enegery
Before we begin investing in factories, we will update our power sources with the goal to be self sufficient. The investment will go towards solar and water energy as well as building places to store them.
$1.5 billion
Low-Income housing
For people with low incomes, obviously. You will be kicked out if you commit three felonies or stop making an effort to get a job. At least one adult member of the family must be actively working or seeking work as well. One meal a day will be provided to everyone living here. Any children that live here must attend school,
not be forced to get a job.
$1billion
Drugs
Drugs are now legalized in the system Holland uses. Special coffee shop things will be created and the drugs will be taxed at a high rate, but still cheaper than buying them on the black market. 15 years in prison will be the punishment for continued illegal drug trafficking.
$1 billion
Ending Corruption
Like this one Chinese empire whose name escapes me, we will not tolerate corruption any longer. Like this same empire, any official found guilty of being corrupt will receive a public beating on the rear. If you don't like it, don't be corrupt
priceless Economic stuff
We're going to invest in improving the banana, coffee, chocolate (not random), and oil industries. While we will be moving to get away from reliance on fossil fuels, we will continue to drill them and sell them to other people for the time being :3 Investments will be to improve the industries and aid them in being competitive and lucrative industries abroad for us. To do this, part of the money will fund a board of economists who will help regulate how we do this and all that jazz.
$2 billion
Foreign Relations
Say hi to the US and ask that they continue to invest in our country. Also ask if they want us to do anything for them.
Offer Japan the opportunity to set up an embassy here.
Offer an alliance to El Salvador and Costa Rica; as well as let them set up embassies if they wish.
Offer Bolivia an alliance
Research
-Ask Germany for permission to build
G36s (basically, asking how much money they want to buy the rights to manufacture it)
-Ask America how much it would cost for them to let us build
F-16s
Inventing machines that create chocolate quickly. This includes making it with delicious chocolate ingredients (which I really should know what they are
) and sealing it and all that.
