NATIVE SCHOOLS

ENROLMENT INCREASE The total enrolment for the 154 native schools under the control of the Education Department last year was 11,009, or 93 more than in 1941, states Mr T. A. Fletcher, senior inspector of native schools, in his annual report. Of this number, 10,020 were Maori children and 989 European. The average attendance was 9091. “Much still remains to be done before the position of the Maori in relation to post-primary education can be considered satisfactory,” says the report. “At the present time only about onethird of the pupils passing through Form II are proceeding to some higher form of education, whereas, in the case of pakeha children, about two-thirds proceed to secondary and technical and district high schools.”
