Paying teachers more is win/win regardless of any viewpoint
Nah not if you're right wing. Then it's one of the first places to start cutting budgets, together with Healthcare and elderly care. You want people to have less education, makes them easier to manipulate and keep under control.
I don't know. I'm in Europe, it doesn't work like the US in my country. I have yet to find a party that doesn't use budgets to further their own cause. It applies to both left and right wing here. Supporting higher budgets doesn't need to mean the curriculum has to be in align with party beliefs. Education needs to be affordable and be good to teachers salary wise. No "higher wages only if". You'll never achieve an agreement in a democracy if there are conditions. All parties should agree to increment spending on education. If a right wing party uses leftists ideology in education as an excuse to not fund education, make it work so there is no argument to be made.
Anything that isnt teaching strictly the bible is leftwing education here.
