MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 1447

Schools - Community and Cultural Use

MR CORNWELL - asked the Minister for Education and Training on notice on 13 October 1994:

(1) What steps have been taken to implement each of the 15 Recommendations of the Standing Committee on Social Policy Report No 4 regarding the Community and Cultural use of Schools.

MR WOOD - the answer to Mr Cornwells question is:

You will recall that the Government failed its response to the committees report in the Assembly on 21 April 1994.

While the Government agreed to a number of the recommendations made by the committee, there are a number of key recommendations to which it agreed in principle only, pending further work and consultation. A steering committee has been established by the department to address each recommendation.

Representation on the committee includes education, community, sporting and cultural interests in the after hours use of school facilities. The committee is to report back to me by the end of 1994.

Decisions on the use of the casino premium for regional arts facilities have taken note of the Social Policy Committee report.

Expenditure at the Southside campus of CIT and Hawker College is designed to make better use of schools and other institutions.
