EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH
An outline was given by Dr. Beeby recently of the plans for educational research in New Zealand. He remarked that, as New Zealand was so cut off from the rest of the world that no one else was likely to investigate our educational system, it was important that we should do so ourselves. We can agree with this, and commend the plans suggested by Dr. Beeby for bringing many minds and the widest experience to work on the problem. Bui Avhat is to be the result? There was an educational inquiry not many years ago and many far-reaching reforms were proposed. Not all of them were generally acceptable, but has anything been done to follow up
this investigation at all? The nature of the problem has changed somewhat in the meantime, especially in the bearing that secondary and technical education has upon occupation. Is this change being noted, and is anyone considering what effect it has upon the secondary school system? The difficulty of finding suitable occupations for youths is certainly economic in the main, but there is an educational side to it which should receive attention.
