Anti-vandalism grant
PA Wellington A $150,000 Education Department grant to help schools to prevent vandalism has received tongue-in-cheek praise from the National Council of Adult Education. It welcomed the grant but said its announcement had been "unfortunately worded” and had attacked the vandalism problem from the'wrong angle. “The announcement dealt
with the technological prevention and detection of vandalism and did not look at the sociological causes of it,” said a council spokesman, Mr Peter Creevey. The financial support of community aid programmes, resulting in the increased use of school facilities outside school hours, would achieve more than if the same sum was spent on technology to keep people off school grounds, he said.
