restructuring of the education system comes under the microscope in the latest issue of RG Magazine.

In the September education issue, free in tomorrow's Royal Gazette , RG takes an in-depth look at how plans are progressing for the new mega high school -- due to open next year.

Royal Gazette News Editor Carol Parker Trott examines how many of the Education Planning Team's recommendations have been met in the final restructuring plan and talks at length to members of the EPT team, who remain divided on how successful they feel the new system will be.

Meanwhile, RG senior writer Elizabeth Harvey looks at the choices facing the increasing number of parents who are opting out of the public school system.

She examines what local private schools and some of the more popular overseas boarding schools have to offer and how much they cost.

RG also investigates the pros and cons of teaching children at home -- an option being looked at by some parents concerned about their child's ability to learn in a traditional school set-up.

September's RG also previews next month's Broadway In Bermuda production with a behind-the-scenes look at Two Island Productions; talks to Hootie and the Blowfish bassist Dean Felber and soccer striker Kyle Lightbourne; visits the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and; RG chef Joe Gibbons comes up with some easy rice recipes.
