Potential drop-outs have two strikes against them from the start.
Byline: Alan Morgan OBE IN a South Wales Echo editorial on February 19, 'Politicians go to war over academy costs', Labour Coun Rob Curtis rightly reserved particular criticism for Plaid Cymru's Coun Nick Hodges, who is quoted as saying the Defence Technical Academy at St Athan would be an 'isolated gated village' and also that 'nearby towns would get an increase in squaddie rowdiness and drop-outs from the academy'.
He told the GDN that the role of the Labour Fund was to help unemployed Bahrainis, whether university graduates or school drop-outs, find jobs that could support them in the future.
