Intent: Rural schools are a vital piece of education infrastructure in our communities and for many years they have been underfunded by the Dept in favour of larger schools in larger population centres. Such treatment is forcing parents to help pay for the schools to be able to provide basic services to children, going against their constitutional right to a free primary education. Mandate are seeking assurance that measures are implemented to deal with this very important issue for our local community.
