Aid restored to school
Government assistance will be restored to Four Avenues School and the Workers’ Educational Association, the Minister of Finance, Mr Douglas, announced in the Budget. Details of the assistance, which forms part of the Government’s education package, were not available last evening. Four Avenues School has been working in rental premises this year, after the previous Government decided in July last year to close it and withdraw re-
sources. The Minister of Education, Mr Marshall, hinted in September that he was interested in alternative forms of education and had hoped to make a decision on the future of the school in time for the first term in 1985. The W.E.A. lost $140,000 nationally when the previous Government cut its annual grant- in 1982. The grant was an estimated 20 per cent of the association’s annual budget.
