COMMISSION ON EDUCATION
Teachers’ College Submissions (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, June 1. In addition to university training, including the graduation stage, teachers needed special training before undertaking their careers, the chairman of the Christchurch branch of the New Zealand Teachers Colleges* Association (Dr. A. H. W. Harte) said in submissions yesterday afternoon to the Commission of Education. He said the idea there was something inferior about having attended a teacher training college was disappearing, but for years that form of snobbery had existed among university graduates. . Insistence on a course of professional training for entrants to the primary school service was now accepted, but the principle was by no means fully accepted that all post-primary teachers required an initial training in preparation for teaching. He said that an adequate period of professional training in a teachers’ college should be obligatory for all teachers before entering any branch of the teaching profession.
