EDUCATION BOARDS NOT HEARD: GOVERNMENT ACT
AUCKLAND, This Day (P.A.).— The Government’s action in passing the Education Amendment Bill, 1949, through the House, of Representatives last week without first hearing the opinion of education boards in the Dominion was strongly criticised by members of the. Auckland Education Board today. Several members criticised features of the Act relating to the con-' trol of employees. Mr D. W. Rutledge said the board's eninlovees might be subject to the Public Service Regulations, which would not be good. “We do not Nvant more departmental control, in New Zealand.”, said the chairman, Mr G. K. Hamilton. “No department is getting through as much work with so small a staff as this one.” The board passed a motion expressing. disappointment and alarm that the Minister omitted, to acquaint the board of the proposed Bill in time for comment. It trusted that before further amendments to the Act all education boards would have the regulations submitted to them before being gazetted. A motion that the Minister be asked to explain why the Auckland board had been reported to offer no objection was defeated!.
