Teachers’ College Libraries ‘Poor’
(New Zealand Press Association)
AUCKLAND, September 20..
The finance, facilities and staffing provided for teachers’ college libraries will be the subject of a protest to the Department of Education by the Teachers’ Colleges Association.
The association considered remits from Hamilton and Wellington branches saying that library facilities in teachers’ colleges were poor in comparison with university libraries and that third year training made an increase in library grants imperative. Mr D. Cohen, senior lecturer in education at the Hamilton Teachers’ College, said Hamilton’s present library could seat only 45 students of a total roll of 600. The new library would seat 60 to 80 but the anticipated roll in 1968 was 1000.
Because of the increasing emphasis on academic standards in teachers’ colleges, the association decided to urge the department to implement at an early date the
recomendation of the 1962 Commission on Education that sabbatical and study leave be granted to college staffs.
