PERTH, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1967.
DEBATE ON STATE AID IN the W.A. Legislative Assembly, Labor pressed a constructive debate o f the second reading of the Government Education Act Amendment Bill designed to pay $10 a pupil a year to independent primary schools. Labor members R. Davies (Victoria Park), C. Jamieson (Beeloo), H. E. Graham (Balcatta) and D. Norton (Gascoyne) criticised aid to independent schools as piecemeal, inadequate and unplanned. The subsidy to primary schools should be at least $20 a year to match up to secondary school subsidies. There seemed to be no clear for $10. tn enquiry into the needs of independent ools was necessary for the establishment a logical and sufficient basis for subsidy. An important feature of the bill emphasised the Hon. E. Lewis, Minister for Education, that the subsidies are legislated as a direct yment to schools on the basis of primary school enrolment. They are not a payment to the school on behalf of parents. This is the time in almost a hundred years that a.rect payments to independent schools have been provided in legislation.
O DIFFICULTIES it was clear from Members' remarks that .liamentarians individually and collectiverave been told of the difficulties of Catho • schools on both a parochial and overall •:s. Labor members quoted repeatedly .s and figures — which could only have from detailed briefing by school parents' ,ciations. l'he plight of the country parents was not ..otten. Mr. D. Norton pressed the point that boarding school education was essential to the farming and mining community and not all who farmed or mined could afford such education unassisted. Tribute to the work of the Parents and Friends' Federation was paid. A section of its 1956 report thanked the Hawke Government for "placing justice before prejudice" in passing the first legislation in the sixty .s.s since 1895 to give assistance in independent schools.
