 The Education Council is seeking improvements to facilities |
Guernsey's Education Council will have to go back to the drawing board if plans to improve the island's educational facilities are rejected. Proposals 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 States will be debating the matter later this month.
But more than 70 islanders took the chance to view the plans on Wednesday night.
'Cramped facilities'
Council president, Deputy Martin Ozanne, said they were able to demonstrate there was huge demand for additional sixth form accommodation at the Grammar School and explain the first phase of the redevelopment of the College of Further Education.
But the plans have provoked controversy, with Advisory and Finance opposing the development.
Twenty-five States members were also at the meeting and Deputy Ozanne said island politicians would be taken on a tour of the College of Further Education this weekend to see current facilities at first hand.
"It is a chance for them to see the cramped facilities we have at the college," he said.
