<B>The Seeyave brothers reconciled</B>

Antoine and Sir René Seeyave have finally put an end to their feud that has lasted eight years. The quarrel started with the breach of a “partnership agreement”, which managed the group’s affairs, and Antoine’s suspension from his CEO post in Happy World Ltd. The brothers have managed to agree on a deal to share the family business between the two of them. Sir René has finally taken all the shares of Happy World Foods Ltd (HWF) and Antoine will now have total control over Happy World Ltd. The former keeps his job as chief executive officer of HWF, which mainly produces chicken and ice cream, and distributes imported foodstuffs. Antoine will be at the head of the household appliances division.

<B>Consensus on reserved seats in catholic colleges</B>

After three months of discussions, a consensus has finally been reached for the allocation of the 750 reserved seats in Form I of catholic colleges. The new method, which will be officially presented on 1st September, looks quite confusing but has nevertheless the merit of satisfying everyone. The first criterion for admission is to have 15 - 20 units at the Certificate of Primary Education (CPE) examination. Then, some seats automatically go to staff wards with 15 - 20 units and to hardship cases. Moreover, children who have the best results in English and Mathematics will be favoured. The catchment areas will also be subdivided into six regions to make sure that each part is represented. Every school will have a panel to decide whether the seats remaining will be allotted by a drawing of lots or through an interview by the panel. The latter will be composed of people related to the school and to education in general. The Bureau of Catholic Education will meet the minister of Education, Steven Obeegadoo, to present the project before it is made public on 1st September.
