Saturday Morning School Started For Electrical Cadets
Regarded as an experiment, the progress of which will be reviewed, provision for technical education on Saturday mornings has been written into the Apprenticeship Order issued by the Court of Arbitration for the electrical industry.
An apprentice living within such distance of a technical or other school as may be determined by the local apprenticeship committee may be ordered by the New Zealand Apprenticeship Committee to attend during the three years of his apprenticeship classes in the electrical trade a course for four hours on 40 Saturday mornings in each year. If his progress and conduct at the classes are satisfactory he will be paid at .his ordinary rate for the number of class hours worked and the time will be counted as time served.
Apprentices living further away may be ordered to take the correspondence school course in electrical trade theory and to attend courses totalling not more than three weeks in each year.
Other provisions in the order follow largely the submissions to a Court by the New Zealand Apprenticeship Committee. The technical education clause is recorded in a memorandum to the order, as an experimental one.
