NSW: Cadet training not the way to discipline students- P&C

The Federation of Parents and Citizens' Associations says introducing military cadet
training in New South Wales public high schools won't improve student discipline.

The federation's president .. DIANNE GIBLIN .. says her group is concerned about the
motive behind the proposal .. namely that it would bring young people into line.

State opposition leader PETER DEBNAM has used Anzac Day to reinforce calls for a voluntary
cadet scheme to be expanded into more than 50 public high schools.

Almost nine thousand youths in New South Wales are involved in the federal-government
funded cadet scheme .. which has been dominated by private schools for the past 100 years.
