Former minister fears impact of education debate delays effects
FURTHER uncertainty over the La Mare de Carteret School rebuild and the future of secondary education is having a wider impact on the economy, particularly the construction industry, the former education minister has warned, as he urged the new committee to 'listen to the professionals'.
Robert Sillars, pictured, said more delays would hit children, parents and teachers hard and argued that the La Mare rebuild could
be the kick-start the construction sector needed.
Guernsey Building Trades Employers' Association president Steve Roussel said he too was disappointed that proposals had not yet been brought back to the States.
The comments came as Education, Culture & Sport committee president Paul Le Pelley said plans might not return to the Assembly this year.
