Lex Freedom
What is Lex Freedom
Lex Freedom is a theoretical framework for the reform of education proposed for universal adoption around the world.
The original framework emerged during the discussion of the Round Table of Education (2022) that grouped preeminent experts in free education in Poland.
The resulting education law may in theory be compressed to a single-page documents. It departs from an expensive and inefficient system of command-and-control. Instead, it relies on student passions, and innovative energy of all the actors of the educational ecosystem.
Three pillars of education
The education system can thrive if only three principles are ensured:
- Non-coercive education: The law stipulates a ban on all forms of coercion in learning along the Fundamental Law of Learning
- School vouchers: Public investment in young brains can provide high returns. The best insurance of investment quality is the voluntary nature of learning driven by passions
- Minimal disruption: The system of public schools forms an elaborate network of dependencies and habits that cannot change overnight. For that reason, minimum disruption can be ensured by leaving the system in place, and public schools in hands of local authority.
