Another idea!

An idea suggested by a resident which I'm very fond of is the concept of creating a shop as an outreach program to help young people attain Open University degrees. Frankston City has one of the lowest rates of tertiary education in Australia, and an outreach program could change that and reverse the cycle, so to speak. Grants could be available for people wishing to take the STAT exam (which gives you the ability to aim for a University course if you are mature-aged or just an early school-leaver) and computers and tutors could be provided for assistance with assignments.

Just another idea from one of the great Frankston residents! Keep them coming!
