UNIVERSITY FEES
Labour Wants Reduction (N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, May 7. More of the national income should be spent on education, the annual conference of the Labour Party” resolved today. It also proposed an inquiry into last year’s three-fold increase in university fees, with a view to reducing or abolishing them. Conference decisions on education were released to the press tonight after closed discussions this afternoon and evening. The education system should be reorganised to provide free education from kindergarten through university, delegates agreed, and all schools should be eligible for more adequate library facilities and staff where needed. University bursaries should be increased in number and value. A remit to give individual universities the right to decide whether a student who failed a course should continue to receive his bursary, or part of it, was referred to the Parliamentary Labour Party.
