What does the bill do?

The bill changes Section 3A of the Budget Foundations Law (1985) by removing a provision requiring the government to support education corporations established by law, and canceling an additional section. According to the explanatory notes, the bill is intended to restore the principle of equality in education budgeting and strengthen the status of public education, while removing a unique advantage given to certain education corporations in full budgetary support (100%), unlike other public institutions.
