A policy that is geared toward the needs of children is one that takes education seriously as a basic need and a human right—with genuine freedom of choice in teaching materials, schools close to home, and open educational pathways.
It enables parents to reduce their working hours, makes public transit fare-free, and reclaims public spaces as places for people to come together.
It promotes cooperation over competition and a needs-based economy rather than an economy of manufactured needs.
It sees itself as a work in progress: capable of development, capable of learning, and open to the next generation.
Children are the clearest yardstick for policy.
