1500 STUDENT TEACHERS
Colleges’ Intake Next Year (New Zealand Prefs Association) WELLINGTON, August 21. The Government has approved the admission to teachers’ training colleges in 1959 of up to 1500 division A students. Students of division A are those who pursue the ordinary twoyear college course in preparation for work in the primary schools.
The 1959 entrants will be probationary assistants in 1961 and available for employment as certificated teachers in 1962. The Minister of Education (Mr Skoglund) said an intake of 150 Q would actually be a little larger than required to staff the schools fully in 1962 on the existing staffing schedules.
