RECRUITMENT BAR
Country Service For Teachers (New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND. June 30. Compulsory country service for teachers is a bar to recruitment according to a submission made to the Education Commission in Auckland today by the Auckland Grammar Schools Board The board’s secretary (Mr C. A. Wallace) said the board was of the opinion that the country service clause was not in the best interests of education It suggested that a remote allowance would be of greater service to the profession.. Mr Wallace' said the board doubted whether principals of schools in remote areas favoured the clause, because their schools could be staffed by teachers who joined them reluctantly and looked forward eagerly to the time when they were free to apply to teach in towns of their choice The board. Mr Wallace said, was also gravelv concerned when a teacher qualified to teach rn upper sixth form in subjects such at Latin, physics, chemistry or mathematics, had to leave a post to do country service, possible at a school that had only a small first-year sixth form.
