What has happened? Last Thursday, the Minister for Finance cut capital investment in primary education by 4%, in secondary education by 10% and in third level education by 29%. Third level fees have also been introduced by way of a huge hike in registration fees. All the promises made by Ministers and Government Deputies to individual communities regarding the elimination of sub-standard school buildings, many of them unhygienic and on a par with the worst in the Third World, have come to naught. Is it any wonder that teachers, parents and students are angry?
