Radical overhaul of employment & education regulations for men agreed by Council
19th July 2019

The Council of Kerlile has today agreed to a radical overhaul of the regulations governing educational and employment opportunities for male Kerlian citizens. The Male Education and Employment Act (1967) currently restricts employment opportunities for men to a list of sectors stated in the Act, with potential professions including janitor, chauffeur and farm labourer.

The Council of Kerlile today committed to reforming the regulations entirely, to remove the list of approved professions, meaning men would have a much greater variety of employment opportunities. This would be replaced with a list of restrictions to male employment, preventing men from entering certain professions, such as members of parliament and CEOs. While this does not remove restrictions entirely, it would allow men access to a much greater variety of opportunities.

The Council also announced today the opening of the first Men’s Further Education College in the capital city of Grapevale. This will allow men to pursue education in Kerlile past the age of 16 for the first time since 1953. This change is expected to be welcomed by men across Kerlile, who have long since desired further educational opportunities. Councillor Georgiou said on the matter: “for too long Kerlile has been neglecting the talents of half our population, and this will go some way towards rectifying that”.

The changes to the employment regulations are expected to take place within the next few weeks, and applications for courses in the Men’s College have already opened. It is expected that this will go a long way to addressing the employment shortage in certain sectors, and was one of the key five promises of the Reform Party, of which President Rebecca Arnott is the leader and founder.
