Agree with @LucyStevoJSY , school sport isn’t optional. It’s vital for learning, vital for SEN students, and vital for long-term health. The evidence is overwhelming. Jersey needs joined-up thinking, not downgrading essentials

The sentence from the FPP report that disturbed me most is ‘However, there has been significant expansion in the size of the public sector and an increase in spend in real terms on policy choices.’ Basically self inflicted wounds.

Now this would be a good idea for Jersey for many reasons....
Portugal is proposing major tax breaks for young people to dissuade them from leaving the country, including foreigners. Under the plan, people aged 18 to 35 would be fully exempt from taxes in their first year of work, with the breaks decreasing over a period of ten years.
