Politicians scrutinise government response to review of school funding
Politicians have been scrutinising government's response to an independent review of funding for schools.
The Department of Education, Sport and Culture has already ruled out one of the five recommendations made, which suggested closing eight 'inefficient' primary schools to save £3.6 million each year.
The other four have prompted a review to be undertaken.
The department says it remains 'committed' to delivering the 'best possible' education system for children on the Island.
But Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Tim Glover believes the public would rather see results than more reviews:
MiCard users who can't use bank accounts to receive new cards
Mountain closure further extended
Chief minister proposes issuing new MiCards to those who can't open bank accounts
Timeline for new CRHS 'a bit tight', says education minister
More details about MiCard replacement could be revealed today
