SCHOOL TEACHING
ESSENTIAL WORK
Teaching in all schools and colleges under the jurisdiction of the Education Department or the University of New Zealand has been declared essential.
Announcing this today, the Minister of Industrial Man-power (Mr. McLagan) said that the ranks of the teaching profession had been heavily depleted by the withdrawal of men for military service and the stage had been reached where every possible step must be taken to conserve teaching staffs so as to maintain the minimum educational requirements.
Mr. McLagan explained that it would now be necessary for a teacher wishing to transfer from a position with one educational authority to a position with another to obtain the consent of a district man-power officer. Such consent was not required where the new position was under the same educational authority.
The Minister added that the declaration did not apply to teachers employed in private schools.
