Schooling Defects
Five "particularly unsatisfactory” aspects of secondary education in New Zealand were staffing shortages, country education, Maori education, facilities for improving teachers' qualifications, and the general national level of attainment of pupils, said the new president of the Post-pri-marv Teachers' Association (Mr A. H. Scotney. of Rongotai College, Wellington) in the association's latest journal.
Mr Scotney said these detrii ments were in order of importance, and staffing held the key to all the others. It was impossible to avoid feelings of misgivings, he said. There could be no doubt that here and there good was being done but there could be no doubt, either, that the present generation of secondary school pupils was "suffering educational deprivation of a tremendous size, the end of which is nowhere in sight "
