Teachers willing to move out to rural NSW could get government help to buy a house and to find their partner a job. This is one of the options being looked at by the state government in the first review into its rural incentive scheme in nearly 120 years. Education Minister Sarah Mitchell has launched the review to find out how to encourage teachers to go out to the bush and has promised more incentives are on the way. Ms Mitchell wants it to consider if the government should help teachers into the rural housing market and help their spouses into a job nearby.

Farmers and scientists unite for pint-sized pygmies
Fifty-two pygmy blue-tongues have been released on a farm in a southern area of the mid-north, 90km north of Adelaide, as part of a $400,000 Flinders University Australian Research Council Linkage project to save them from looming extinction as our climate warms.
Pygmy blue-tongues are unique to South Australia and live in grasslands, predominantly sheep grazing land in the mid-north. Their population is endangered due to habitat limitations and limited dispersal ability with the skinks found from Kapunda up to Jamestown.
“Modelling indicates these lizards are in danger of extinction in around 50 years’ time due to climate change,” says Flinders University’s Associate Professor Mike Gardner, lead researcher on the ARC project.

Former students of Kisumu Boys High School have threatened legal action against the Kisumu County Government if it goes ahead with planned demolition of the institution.
The Old Boys Association chairman James Mwamu said the exercise should be shelved indefinitely.
The school has been caught in the middle of an urban renewal programme that is being pushed by Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o.
Acting City Manager Abala Wanga had earlier hinted that the school, which sits on 105 acres of land, could be relocated from the central business district (CBD) to the Kibos/Mamboleo area where there is reclaimed land that belonged to the defunct municipality.
