Strong support for the education reform, which aims to increase the flexibility of learning opportunities and enhance the competitiveness of vocational education relative to general secondary education. The primary focus is policy-driven, stressing the necessity of guaranteeing sufficient study places for youth aged 16 and over, and channeling resources freed up by adult learners' paid studies back into youth education. Emphasis is placed on the state's responsibility for these study places and the role of local government in monitoring.

Strong support for protecting children from pornography, stressing that this is an obligation mandated by the Constitution and the Child Protection Act.
