CONCERN BY TEACHERS
Standard Of Recruiting
(N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, May 21. Wellington secondary school teachers have expressed dismay and concern at what they described as the continuing failure of the Minister of Education (Mr Kinsella) to take firm steps tn overcome the general shortage of graduates for the teaching profession.
There were not nearly enough good graduates to fill vacant secondary school teaching positions, the headmaster of Wellington College (Mr S. W. Hill) told the annual conference of the Wellington region of the PostPrimary Teachers* Association.
“School rolls keep increasing, but secondary teacher recruitment does not keep pace. Dropping standards and staff vacancies have become a nightmare,” said Mr Hill.
