Special posts for trainee teachers sought
The Government should create supernumerary teaching positions next year to ensure that secondary teacher trainees could get jobs, said the president of the Christchurch Teachers’ College Trainees’ Association, Mr Hugh Smith, last evening. The proposal had come from a special meeting called to discuss surveys in Auckland and Christchurch which had showed that about 60 per cent of graduating trainees would be unable to find jobs by next year. Trainees will begin a letter-writing campaign to the Minister of Education (Mr Wellington) and the Director-General of Education (Mr W. L. Renwick). The Post-Primary Teachers’ Association will also act on the trainees' behalf. Supernumery positions
could be created in schools that needed extra teachers, said Mr Smith. Trainees will also look at the bonding system’s legal implications when jobs cannot be found that allow them to teach for a period equal to the time they have spent in training. '
