“Maoris Restricted In Many Fields”
(New Zealand Press Association) INVERCARGILL, January 22. “Research findings confirm observations that 100 years of education have failed to provide many Maoris with those necessary educational experiences which would enable them to take a full place in New Zealand’s society,” said Mr R. L. Rogers, head teacher of Chaucer School, Auckland, at Invercargill today.
He was reporti ig to the Dominion executive of the Educational Institute on Maori education. The report was prepared by an institute committee comprising Maori leaders, teachers in Maori schools, universities and other persons interested in Maori education and development The institute’s study committee had found that real restrictions existed to the entry or promotion of Maoris in many fields. Main handicaps listed were: 1. Insufficient educational qualifications. 2. Reluctance or inability on the part of Maoris to make the cultural and sociological
changes necessary; it is recognised that this reluctance is often a bewilderment with situations of unknown nature.
3. Lack of vocational ambition and a tendency not to make long-term plans. 4. Vocational mobility of Maoris.
5. Employer or customer prejudice.
