Now that the government has approved the construction of a new primary school at Le Rocher, the Ministry Education and Youth (MEY) is awaiting the approval of the Ministry of Land Use and Habitat for the right location for the school.

With the increase in housing development at Le Rocher and the number of students attending the Plaisance Primary School and the crêche there, MEY finds it necessary and profitable to build a new primary school at Le Rocher.

This was announced by the Minister for Education and Youth, Mr Danny Faure, during the National Assembly's Question Time on Tuesday April 1.

He said the new primary school would ease the present pressure on both the Plaisance Primary and Secondary schools in terms of the number of students attending the schools.

Minister Faure was answering a question by MNA Isabelle Joubert, who asked what was the ministry's plan for a new crèche and primary school for Les Mamelles.
