Education
Sir, —I am surprised that C. Burrows believes that in a democracy a State monopoly of education is reasonable (March 27). The very basis of a healthy democracy is freedom of choice — this does not exist within State education. What right do a few bureaucrats in Wellington have to determine what should happen in education in Christchurch? The issues are above party politics and if Miss Richardson can bring about change good luck to her. As some of the Labour Party politicians also consider the educational hierarchy unsympathetic to the public good perhaps an all-party approach could bring about required changes.—Yours, etc. DAVID MOLLET. March 28, 1987.
