Students Want Survey Of Education Dept.
(N.Z. Press Association! AUCKLAND, August 16. The efficiency of the Education Department should be investigated by independent business consultants, the Uni- 1 versity Students' Association decided at its annual winter council at Auckland. The association also decided j to place more emphasis onj its role in the Pacific. The president, Mr R. Mountain, said it was essential to ensure that the increasing amount of money and skill; expended on education was' used for the maximum bene-: fit of the community. There was a need for re-| search in all fields of education and many statistics were; needed. It might be found more economic to employ additional i technical and administrative: staff, leaving trained people to concentrate on their sub-1 jects. The semester system, the |
university lecture system and the examination system needed close investigation. The students wanted the department investigated in the same way the Ministry of | Works had been investigated recently. Mr Mountain left Auckland today to attend the 12th international student conference in I Nairobi, Kenya.
