Australian Yeshivos Get Security Grant


cctv.jpgJewish schools will finally have access to the $25 million fund for security promised late last year by the Federal Government, Australian Jewish News reports.

In addition, some of those schools will be invited to dip into an additional $16 million funding pool.

The government has followed through on its election promise to correct anomalies in the funding available to Jewish schools.

Over the next four years, funding for schools, such as Yeshivah-Beth Rivkah Colleges and Adass Israel School in Melbourne, and Kesser Torah College and Yeshiva College Bondi in Sydney, will be topped up from a $16 million fund.

Progress is already underway for the allocation of the $25 million security fund.

Minister for Home Affairs Bob Debus has previously requested reports from state governments on the security needs of different schools.

In turn, state government ministers have held meetings with Jewish community representatives in an attempt to ascertain how much money would be required to adequately protect Jewish children.
