 The Education Council is seeking �12.75m for improvements |
New facilities for 16-year-old students in Guernsey are to be debated in the States. Plans for a new sixth form centre at the Grammar School and improvements to the College of Further Education are part of a package of measures to keep young people studying.
The Education Council is asking for �12.75m to fund the changes.
Council president, Deputy Martyn Ozanne, said that without these improvements, Guernsey would be failing to give its young people the opportunities they deserve.
College of Further Education principal Trevor Wakefield said he was frustrated by the current lack of space and facilities.
"At the moment we feel we are letting youngsters down because we are not offering the kind of courses they need at the levels they need them.
"If we weren't allowed to go ahead with this development, it would mean we would carry on letting people down and that would be a great shame," he said.
