TEACHERS’ BOND
Institute’s Support (N.Z Press Association) WELLINGTON, May 11. The £2OO bond requiring training college students to teach for at least two years was supported by the New Zealand Educational Institute today by 95 votes to 48 Under a plan introduced at the end of last year, parents sign a bond that the trainee will teach for two years after being certificated, the £2OO being forfeited if, after two years at training college or one year as a probationary assistant there was not two years of teaching. Mr W R. Familton said he thought the bond was justified It was not there to keep people teaching who might not like the profession, but to keep those people who just wanted a cheap education and then went overseas and “had a good time," he said. There was a moral obligation to return something for the two years’ training they had received. “To some people it means nothing,” he commented.
