EDUCATION SYSTEM IN N.Z.
PAKISTAN INSPECTOR’S PRAISE (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, August 19. “Children are considered the most precious asset the people in New Zealand have, and everything possible is done for their welfare,” said Mr M. I. Rabbini, District Inspector of Schools in the Punjab, West Pakistan, before leaving Wellington by flyingboat to-day. He has spent the last five months in New Zealand studying education methods under a Colombo Plan fellowship. Mr Rabbini said that the New Zealand education system worked on modern, scientific lines and ' was founded on democratic principles that helped to develop the personality of the child and assisted his education. “Teacher and pupil relations in New Zealand schools are as good as anywhere else in the world,” he said, “and teacher and parent relations are excellent.”
The Colombo Plan, he said, was a brilliant idea for the uplift of the lower living standards of South and South-east Asia. For this reason it was one of the best instruments against Communism. Pakistan was opposed to Communism because its religion wa? against it, 90 per cent of the people being Moslems.
