The main social issue is educational inequality and the dropout rate, particularly among youth with special educational needs (SEN). Emphasis is placed on the need to create broad-based curricula and support systems that would help SEN youth succeed in the labor market in the long term. Lifelong learning is supported, but free repeated instruction for adults is restricted.

A central social theme is the protection of children from the harmful effects of pornography and the development of child assistance mechanisms (child assistance consultants). Support is provided for offering age-appropriate sexual education within the education system and for establishing mechanisms for harm compensation.
