MHK to query Island bursaries

Bursaries for Island school pupils will be discussed in the House of Keys next week.

Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse will ask Education, Sport & Culture Minister, Graham Cregeen MHK, how much the DESC has provided in individual bursaries over the last five years.

Mr Moorhouse also wants to know how many students from Key Stages three to five have received support for on and off-Island activities during the same period.

His query for written reply will be put forward in the next Keys sitting which takes place in Douglas on Tuesday at 10am.
