TEACHERS FOR TRAINING.
NUMBER TO BE REDUCED.
DEPARTMENT'S INSTRUCTION.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, Monday
Under instructions issued by the Education Department, the number of new students to be admitted to the teachers' training colleges this year will be reduced.
"This is the result of the policy adopted by the Department in 1926," said Mr. T. B. Strong, Director of Education, "when it commenced supervising the number of entries to training colleges with consideration to the number of positions likely to be available some years ahead. No D division students will be admitted this year.
'"Those affected by this decision are students who have passed some section of the D division examination, and who have had some experience in teaching at schools which may be non-State or conntry institutions, but who are not probationers. The Department considers it is under no obligation to accept D division students. It has never taken these students as probationers and does not feel called upon to find them positions."
It has been decided also to fill the grade places from B grade positions.
