(1)-(6) I assume the Member is referring to a proposal to establish a corporate foundation for schools. The Department of Education and Training is currently undertaking an assessment into establishing a corporate foundation and how it could operate successfully in Western Australia. The proposed foundation does not include naming rights. It is about setting up a vehicle for the corporate sector to make a financial contribution to our education system knowing that it is an investment into the human capital of Western Australia.
