Sunday schools seem set for the chopping block. Education Minister Chris Carter has confirmed that a gathering of three children under adult supervision constitutes an early childhood education unit, so must be fully licensed. That would see Sunday schools follow gym creches into oblivion.
National Party Associate Education spokeswoman Paula Bennett says that is silly, as often parents are in the same building or just next door. She says parents know what is best for their children.
Paula Bennett says Sunday schools are perfectly safe environments, where parents know exactly what their children are doing.
ENDSFirst this Government criminalises smacking and now they want to keep tabs on what is taught in Sunday Schools. What next ??
