SECURITY OF TENURE
TEACHERS WANT ACT AMENDED
"That the institute affirm the desirability of amending the Education Act in the direction of obtaining for teachers greater security of tenure of office and permanence of salary,” was a remit discussed at the annual meeting of the New Zealand Educational Institute yesterday. Mr. W. G. Burns (South Canterbury), in moving the remit, said that the Education Act was very vague so far as the tenure of teachers’ positions was concerned. A teacher, he contended, could not give of his best when his position was in jeopardy. The remit was carried unanimously.
