Junior Colleges
Sir,—The remarks of the principal of the Aranui High School again raise issues concerning educational policy in New Zealand. Many will support him if his remarks mean that secondary education could be organised to deal with Forms 1,2, 3, and 4. With such an arrangement, most pupils would come to regard Form 4 as their schooling terminus, and junior colleges would be free, with their specialised staffs, to cope with the pre-univer-sity stages. The value of the two-year intermediate system has always been doubted by many who, over the past 30 years, have criticised Dr. Beebv. the former Director of Education, and government policy, which has continued to uphold a type of school found, I believe, in the educational practice of no country in the world except New Zealand.—Yours, etc.. PRIMARY SCHOOL HEADMASTER. April 22, 1966.
