A HIGH STANDARD
SCHOOL ATTENDANCES
Reference to the high standard of school attendance in New Zealand is made in the annual report of the Minister of Education (the Hon. R. Masters).
"In the majority of the reports, submitted by education boards reference is made to the continued high standard of regularity of attendance of pupils in primary schools and in intermediate schools and departments," says Mr. Masters. "For the year 1933 the average attendance of pupils in these schools for all districts was commendably high, it being 92.9 per cent, of the average weekly Toll, as against 92.2 per cent, in 1932. In these circumstances it is only to be expected that good attendance certificates ara more frequently won than was the case some years ago. The highest degree of regularity of attendance in any district was in the Nelson education district, this being the second year in succession that such a result has been recorded. It is worthy of note that in this district the figures show a slight improvement in tho already creditable percentage of the previous year—94.46 per cent., as against 94.17 per cent.."
