SCHOOLS AND PARENTS REMINDED OF CODE OF PRACTICE
*****
THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT'S ACTION COMMITTEE AND THE CONSUMER COUNCIL TODAY ISSUED A REMINDER TO SCHOOLS THAT SALES OF SCHOOL BOOKS, SCHOOL UNIFORMS AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL SUPPLIES SHOULD NOT BE RESTRICTED TO ONE SUPPLIER AND THAT PRICES FOR BOOKS, SCHOOL UNIFORMS AND OTHER SCHOOL SUPPLIES SHOULD BE KEPT AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.
IT IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TO REMIND SCHOOLS AND PARENTS OF THE CODE OF PRACTICE ISSUED BY THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN MANY SCHOOLS AND CHILDREN ARE PREPARING FOR THE NEW ACADEMIC YEAR.
*
IT IS GRATIFYING TO NOTE THAT SCHOOL AUTHORITIES HAVE CLOSELY FOLLOWED THE CODE OF PRACTICE SINCE IT WAS FIRST ISSUED BY THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IN JANUARY THIS YEAR, SPOKESMEN FOR THE ACTION COMMITTEE AND THE CONSUMER COUNCIL REMARKED.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CONTINUED CO-OPERATION OF SCHOOL AUTHORITIES, PARENTS AND PUPILS WITH THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT WAS STRESSED BY THE SPOKESMEN.
