I understand that an application to establish a school, in the area referred to by the Deputy, is due in the planning section of my Department today. A notice of intention to establish such a school was received last February. The letter indicated that the school would commence operation in September 1998, but provided no further detail. The promoters of the school were advised of the conditions attaching to the grant of recognition to such schools and of the need to submit a formal application to my Department without delay, to allow for a full and detailed examination of the case. An application at this stage, to open a school for next September, is very late. However, it will receive urgent attention in my Department.
